1998 Mitsubishi Montero review from North America

I've replaced the brakes and rotors twice.

Replaced the rear Axle.

The Sunroof leaks.

Replaced driver door speaker and passenger rear speaker.

Driver seat is starting to wear and I make a point of stepping on the running board when getting in.

I had a rattle behind the glove box, dealer took the entire dash out to fix it, it still rattles.

Replaced the starter my self, had to go buy a special wrench.

Horn currently does not work.

Don't even think about doing your own repairs, I bought some plugs and was going to give it a tune up, opened the hood and found that I could not even get to 4 of the plugs, because of a lot of plumbing sitting on top of the motor. I have no clue what it all does, so I waited for a tune up sale and took it to the dealer.

I live in San Diego and I have a dealer around the corner, but I go to a dealer 40 miles away, because all the one's near me truly suck.

I could write a lot more, but I'm getting depressed.

I had a 92 SR, loved it. Put 130,000 miles on it in 3 years, the only maintenance done was oil changes, tune ups, a timing belt at 80,000, and new rubber at 70,000, and I replaced the brakes and had the rotors turned once. Then I ran across my 98 with low miles so I thought I would trade up because of the stronger motor. The worst mistake of my life. I rarely drive it, because I can't afford to keep getting it fixed. I think they cheapened it up with the 98 model. If you plan on getting one, pick a 92 thru 97, the one that looks like a land cruiser, they simply do not break.
