1999 Mitsubishi Montero LS review from North America
"The biggest piece of junk that I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As of right now, the only thing that's wrong with the car is that it needs an alignment.
General comments?
With this vehicle, you can feel every bump in the road with it.
Pulling a trailer that weighs less than 1000 pounds makes it use a half a tank of gas doing 70MPH on the highway.
When the thing's cold, you have to get the tach over 3 before it will shift.
Often when you step on the gas hard to pass somebody, the transmission will slip, and the dealer can't seem to find anything wrong with it.
And finally, you're supposed to be able to shift into 4 wheel drive while you're moving, well, not with this piece of junk, if you try to shift it while you're moving, all you hear is gears grinding.
