NHTSA Complaint #728002 — 2000 MITSUBISHI MONTERO

THE ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATES AROUND 60MPH. THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN BALANCED TWICE NOW, AND AN ALIGNMENT PERORMED. I AM WORKING WITH THE DEALER TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I VISIT A MONTERO SPORT OWNER'S BULLETIN BOARD OFTEN (WWW.MONTERO-SPORT.COM), AND MANY OTHERS ON THE BOARD COMPLAIN OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE MONTERO SPORTS THAT RANGE IN YEAR FROM 1997 TO 2000. MITSUBISHI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER REPAIR TECHS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MOST OTHERS WITH THE PROBLEM HAVE HAD THE SAME WORK PERFORMED THAT I HAVE, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. ONE PERSON JUST COMPLETED A BUY BACK WITH MITSUBISHI. A LAWYER THAT VISITS THE BOARD GATHERED A LIST OF NAMES AND SENT AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT LETTER TO MMCA (MITSUBISHI). I'M COMPLAINING TO THE NHSTA IN THE HOPE THAT A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY CAN GET SOMETHING DONE. THIS VIBRATION PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SOMEONE TO LOSE CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE.
