"The vehicle and its after sles service is completely unrealiable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Ever since I first brought the car I could hear a vibrating noise emanating, when the vehicle reached between 55-60 miles an hour. I reported this to the dealer during our first scheduled service who dismissed it as something relating to the tires. However, the vehicle continued to emanate the noise. After repeated visits to 2 different Mitsubishi authorized service dealers the noise was never fixed. Now at 46,000 miles the car stalled on the highway reportedly with an issue with its transmission's "transfer keys".

General comments?

The vehicle has several other problems like over heating with the a/c on while it is standing in traffic. Finally, the most difficult aspect is the service. The dealers are unfriendly to the point of being obnoxious. MMC itself is unresponsive.

I bought a 2003 Montero Sport for my wife in Dec 02, it has gotten us from point A to point B, but we have experienced noises in the front end and occasional stalling after start up. The biggest issue that burns me is it's gutless, even after a tune up it has no power and gets about the same gas mileage as my v8 Ram. As soon as my payoff catches up with it's value, which is spiraling south out of control, it's gone.
