After pressing the horn to alert another driver, the horn will then stick again. There are repairs where 3m tape is applied to the horn switch behind the airbag, however it is not a professional repair and looks like it could potentially cause the horn to blow without command again. https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1855581 Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT 4 wh drive light flashes no apparent reason no issues makes the anti lock light come on and also the abs light worried cause a prob wit the brakes or something https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1855582 Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT 4 wh drive light flashes no apparent reason no issues makes the anti lock light come on and also the abs light worried cause a prob wit the brakes or something https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1855583 Thu, 24 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT 4 wh drive light flashes no apparent reason no issues makes the anti lock light come on and also the abs light worried cause a prob wit the brakes or something https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1838401 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT I checked and there's several recalls on the vehicle and I purchase it last year from the dealership and I never received anything about the recalls and now my vehicle doesn't want to start it lock me out. https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1838402 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT I checked and there's several recalls on the vehicle and I purchase it last year from the dealership and I never received anything about the recalls and now my vehicle doesn't want to start it lock me out. https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport https://plaincars.com/make/mitsubishi-montero-sport#complaint-1773801 Sat, 16 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT Brake lines completely rusted through and I lost all brakes while heading to work, thankfully I was able to pull the emergency brake to slow down and I coasted through a red light blowing my horn so I was not hit.
