1 Steering problem of the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Failure Date: 03/25/2017

This week I have had two occurrences where the horn just starts blaring and won't stop. Once was in the afternoon, and the other was at 5:00 am. My only diy alternatives are to disconnect the battery (obviously can't use the vehicle), or remove the fuse (very unsafe). The vehicle was stationary, no weather problems, temperature was mild (around 70 degrees). Prior to this happening, the horn rarely worked at all; at least not when I wanted it to work. I googled the problem and it appear to be very widespread on this vehicle. From what I have found out, it involves removing the airbag assembly, so getting it fixed is very costly (over $1000). I expect to spend some money on a few items here & there on a 16 year old vehicle, but I don't expect to spend over $ 1000 on a vehicle just to make the horn work right.

5 Steering problem of the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Failure Date: 11/10/2013

While driving on the highway. I lost control of vehicle and proceeded to drive onto shoulder. After quickly checking tires, etc. I noticed the frame had ripped in half. The driver side frame was completely rotted for 4-5 feet. From the front door to the rear wheel well. After inspection of the entire frame the passenger side is unaffected which leads me to believe it is poor metal/frame from the factory.

8 Steering problem of the 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport

Failure Date: 08/03/2003

Vehicle sways, wonders on the road and is uncontrollable. Also, it feels as though something is loose under the front end. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer on numerous occasions, and I've been told by the mechanic that he feels exactly that which I am describing but there is nothing wrong and that other vehicles were driven and that they too did the same thing. This is a very dangerous obstacle to have control of a motor vehicle.
