This vehicle has had multiple problems which the dealership, on multiple attempts to fix, has not been able to fix failure. Initially, the vehicle was leaking fuel at the passenger rear wheel well. This has occurred on 3 separate occasions. No reason for this was found upon inspection. The 3rd time there was fuel leakage, there was also a failure of the engine in which hesitating and stalling occurred. The ses light did initiate. Initially the solenoid was replaced. 6 days later the same thing occurred and the ses light did again come on. The vehicle was again taken to the dealer and the rear camster and filter was replaced. We requested a meeting with the district manager to discuss the problem. We were told he would be back from vacation after 10/1 and we would be contacted. After the last repair, the vehicle had a problem with loss of power at times. This included slow response when stepping on the fuel (to include flooring it) when trying to pass. It was taken to the dealer on 10/4. The service manager drove it and stated "could not duplicate complaint". It was taken to the dealer a second time approx. 1 wk later and even though flooring it at 35 mph initiated a sluggish response in which the rpm never jumped up but just steadily inclined at a slow rate, the service manager again said he felt there was no problem. This loss of power happened once when trying to merge onto the freeway and I almost got hit before I could pull back over and out of the way. On 10/21 the vehicle again exhibited problems with acceleration from a stop this time stalling. After 3 attempts, I was still unable to restart the vehicle. It sat for 65 minutes waiting for Mitsubishi's towing service. At that time, my husband came and started the vehicle. It started on the 2nd attempt and blue-black smoke came out from the exhaust. We did drive it down to the dealership with only two instances of some loss of power. Problem still not corrected. Dt.

I was traveling the florida turnpike to orlando from boca raton on vacation. As I approached the orlando toll plaza, I slowed down and eventually came to a stop in order to pay my toll. Before I could even roll my window down to hand the ticket in, my car lunged forward and began shaking as if it was going to stall. At first I thought I had been rear-end because my son was is ten let out a scream. The car lunged forward so far that I had to back up to pay the toll. I proceeded to exit the turnpike, and when I came to a red light at the intersection, the car did the same thing. I was only a mile from the hotel so I drove to the hotel and called the Mitsubishi dealership in coconut creek where I purchased the car. They suggested that the car be taken to a Mitsubishi dealership in the orlando area to be checked out. The car was towed to a Mitsubishi dealership in orlando on orange blossom trail. I contacted this dealership and explained what happened. They kept the car for two (2) days and could not duplicate the problem. They claim that the car was put on the computer and that all these tests were run but nothing showed up. Since they couldn't find anything wrong, I picked up the car and drove it back to boca raton. The car continued to do this periodically so I limited the driving of the vehicle. On July 13, 2002, I was driving the car on the expressway and when I went to exit and came to a stop, I was almost rear-end the vehicle in front of me because the car lunged forward, shook, and felt like it was going to stall out. On Monday, July 15, 2002, I took the car to the coconut creek dealership where I purchased it. I explained this problem and my concerns to the service advisor. This advisor, rafael, told me that this problem has been reported by other car owners. He said that the problem only occurrs in 2001 Mitsubishi Montero sports in florida and that there have been 11 reported cases at this dealership. He said that Mitsubishi is aware of thiw.
