1997 Mitsubishi Montero engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine light stays illuminated and never goes off, on one occasion when the battery was failed, the light went off.
My SUV on numerous occasions has stalled when vehicle comes to stop. On one occasion, my wife was accelerating from a standstill-when the vehicle stalled. On each occasion, we were able to restart the vehicle without problems. However, with the vehicle stalling upon accelerating from standstill in the middle of an intersection could prove to be very dangeroul!!!!!!!!!!!
Entire fan and clutch assembly. Sheared off while I was traveling in inter city traffic, if this failure would have occurred while traveling on a highway this assembly could have damaged either the steering, fuel or electrical system. The local dealer and factory representatives have reviewed and come to the conclusion that this is just a failure due to mileage. If this is the case there potentially are many vehicles of this type that may experience the same failure.
On certain occasions when applying the brakes, engine stalls, and vehicle has to sit for a few minutes in order to be started again. Dealer can't duplicate the problem.
This car has been in the shop 17 times within a year. It was bought brand new. The major problems we have with it are the wheen bearing, airconditioning and the engine shutting down with no warning. When we take it in either they say they cant duplicate the problem. With the wheel bearing, they fixed it the first time. It started to leak again and they said that it wasnt the wheel bearing.
Brakes/exhaust/crancase emission control devices and cup holder failed.
