2000 Mitsubishi Montero xjs review from North America
"A good point A to point B especially in snow"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
100 miles, brake noises and transmission noises every time it engages from 2wheel to 4 wheel drive.
At 48,000 miles the check engine light illuminates.
At 48,000 miles ignition problems occurs, misfire.
Seat belt driver side would not retract harder, you must feed it thru its hole.
At 40000 miles,the rear (trunk) door latches starts to wear out. hard to open and sometimes the door won't open either with key or remote.
General comments?
This car is not as quiet as other cars.. you can hear the wind noise with all windows closed. The car pick up is good, lots of torque from start to run.
