1999 MONTERO SPORT. THE AIR CONDITIONER A/C BELT WENT OUT 3 TIMES LAST SUMMER AND NOW, ITS SUMMER AGAIN IN AZ, AND THERE GOES THE A/C AGAIN! IT HAS NOT BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE LAST A/C REPAIR! DID I FAIL TO MENTION THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT BEFORE 80,000 MILES?. *AK

THE MOTOR FOR MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST SUDDENLY WENT OUT. I AM ALSO UPSET THAT THE PARTS STORE QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $110, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE ONE COULD BE OBTAINED, AND THEN ONLY MITSUBISHI WOULD SELL IT TO ME AND FOR $190. WHY WOULD A MOTOR GO OUT ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 86,000 MILES?. *AK

AFTER RECALL FOR THE CRANKSHAFT WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE, THE DEFECT REACCURED. DEALERSHIP REFUSING TO FIX PROBLEM. TS

VEHICLE WAS TILTING TO LEFT,. DEALER DETERMINED BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS WERE CRACKED.*AK

AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AIR CONDITIONER BELT DISAPPEARED. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE AIR CONDITIONER BELT, AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. *AK

THE AIR CONDITIONING DISPELLS AN ODOR SIMILAR TO URINE WHEN TURNED ON. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SHAKES BADLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT 50 MPH OR GREATER. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR WORK. THE A/C PROBLEM HAS NEVER GONE AWAY . ALL THE DEALERSHIP DOES IS APPLY A DEODERANT BUT IT DOES NOT HELP. THE ROTORS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CHANGED ONCE AND THE BRAKES WERE ALSO CHANGED. THE TIRES WERE EVEN ROTATED BUT THE VIBRATING CONTINUES.*AK

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AND MADE A SUDDEN STOP. HE WENT INTO THE WINDSHIELD, AND DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM. METAL THAT ATTACHED THE BRACKET WAS VERY THIN. *AK *JB
