Mitsubishi! > Cars > Problems/Complaints > USA > Parts

Rear Suspension

ODI ID: 747306 NHTSA Complaint ID: 316255

Make: Mitsubishi Model: 2000 MONTERO 00

Component/Parts: Rear Suspension

Failure Date: January 01, 2000 Complaint Date: June 24, 2001

City/State: JACKSON, WY (Wyoming)
Crash: NA Fire: No Injured: 0 Deaths: 0

Complaint Description: the vehicle was sold with inadequate rear coil suspension resulting in the vehicle "bottoming out" with rear passengers. the vehicle was represented to be able to tow 5000#. but due to the improper suspension, towing anything is dangerous as a result of the inability of the suspension to accommodate minimal tongue weight. supposed repair did not fix the problem. a cushion was installed rather than increasing the coil strength or otherwise "repairing" the problem. the cushion merely attempts to "mask" the inadequate suspension and does not resolve anything. .
