This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the consumer stated there is a noise coming from the left front wheel. When the brakes were applied there was a metal to metal grinding sound. There was a recall on the brake accumulator, NHTSA # 01V254001. The vehicle was repaired prior to ownership under this recall. The recall work has failed. Updated 2/7/2006 -
Refusal to comply with recall id# 01V254001. We took our 2001 Montero to the Mitsubishi dealer as the brake part had gone bad just as stated in the recall. The dealer said the vehicle had been inspected when new and it was deemed ok. It was never replaced and now that it has become defective they will not replace it.
The service brake was doing the same thing as stated in the recall for accumulator on the brake system. It made a pressure noise from underneath where master cylinder was and the brake booster. The whole piece will actually shaken. Have not contacted the dealer. They will charge to look at it.
Consumer received a recall letter on his vehicle, upon attempting to make an appointment to have this serious defect fixed, consumer was informed that the repair will take a day and the dealer refused to pay for loaner vehicle.
