My montero has had significant problems from day one with repeated/numerous visits to several Mitsubishi dealerships in my area. I have had all of the same complaints I have read from other owners and am very disappointed that I bought this sport utility and have spent thousands of dollars to repair. The montero has had pull to the right as described, a vibration when driving at any speeds, and a horrible performance of braking that has almost caused several accidents that could have resulted in my life and my daughters and countless other families. I have a lifetime purchase plan for alignments which are performed on a bi-weekly basis and I have also gone through 4 sets of brakes. I have also experienced my montero to just die, completely shut off in the middle of traffic- dangerous!! then after about 10 minutes and everyone honking and cursing me out it starts after I restart it. Also, with this comes a fire burning smell that I have been told by various mechanics that I have an oil leak in my engine. I have since taken the montero back and the dealership has repaired a melted gasket in the engine. I have also replaced all my belts and sparkplugs. The sunroof has had it's share of problems of leaking uncontrolallably when it rains and here in florida it has been better to stand in the rain than in my SUV. Now my front reading lights under my rear mirror is leaking buckets of water and the dealership wants to charge me over $500. 00 for a new sunroof after I paid over invoice for this luxury! all of my brake lights in the rear have blown out numerous times to have to replace. This SUV IA the million dollar money pit mistake and do not reccommend anyone to buy! I'm so glad that I am not going crazy and that others have experienced the same and hope to not ever experience my airbags not deploying in an a accident! Mitsubishi will have a huge law suit!!.

The front brake lines failed upon frontal impact. I am a police officer/accident investigator and I investigated an accident involving a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The driver of the montero impacted the rear of a vehicle ahead of her. The impact damaged the left front of the montero enough to deploy the air bags, but not enough to prevent the wheel from rolling. The impact also caused the left front brake line to break. The line broke at the point where the flexible rubber part of the line connects to the metal fitting that is attached to the inner fender well. After the impact, the brakes would not allow the driver to bring the vehicle to a stop and the vehicle then went out of control and impacted a utility pole. The second impact was on the right front of the montero and in a similar manner the right front brake line broke. I am still investigating, but it appears the brake lines would not have been damaged if the attachment point of the brake line was on the vehicle frame and not on the inner fender well. It seems when the fender well was bent in the collision that is what put stress on the rubber line and caused it to tear away leaving the vehicle without braking and preventing the driver from bringing it safely to rest.

There has not yet actually been a failure, but the vehicle was recalled two years ago (5 months after we bought it) for the problem. We never received notification of the recall and only found out about it two days ago from the msn web site. I am in the air force and was sent to italy 3 months ago. Last night we called Mitsubishi and they said it is up to us to have the car inspected and of course, pay for it ourselves. I disagree; the potential defect is not our responsibility, nor is the fact that we were not informed of the recall. It is possible that Mitsubishi has an incorrect address for us as the house number had one wrong number in it. If so, that's the way it was reported by the dealership, as the dealership has the correct address; we have received mailings from them. This is a safety concern and Mitsubishi should take responsibility and help us get our car inspected without cost to us. There is a mitubishi dealership in a town very close to us (we are stationed in aviano). I would greatly appreciate your help in this matter as we are currently at a loss. Thank you. Capt. Edward caballero. No safety defect listed.
