“1999 Montero Sport. The air conditioner A/C belt went out 3 times last summer and now, its summer again in az, and there goes the A/C again! It has not been a year since the last A/C repair! Did I fail to mention the transmission had to be completely rebuilt before 80,000 miles?.”
NHTSA complaint #10029106, filed 2003-07“The vehicle constanlty pulls to the right while driving, noises can be heard when braking and when accelerating and there is vibration in the steering wheel, all four tires have been repalced but the problems still exist, the dealer has been unable to identify the problem. Nlm”
NHTSA complaint #560063, filed 2001-02“The air conditioning dispells an odor similar to urine when turned on. The front end of the truck shakes badly when the brakes are applied at 50 MPH or greater. Both of these problems continue even after the repair work. The A/C problem has never gone away . All the dealership does is apply a deoderant but it does not help. The rotors have already been changed once and the brakes were also changed. The tires were even rotated but the vibrating continues.”
