The incident has since been the subject of an investigation by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). There are also several sudden unintended acceleration incidents involving 2009 to 2011 Montero that date way back in the year 2010 to 2012.

The car lost control even though the brakes were applied. The car eventually capsized after avoiding a nearby bystander.[5]November 10, 2015 \u2014 A gas station’s CCTV captured the Montero being flipped into the vacant lot.[7]In December 2015, a Montero Sport ploughed several concrete barriers on the Skyway Stage 3 construction on Araneta Avenue in Tatalon, Quezon City.[1]On December 7, in Iloilo City, an owner of a Montero Sport saw his vehicle suddenly accelerated and ploughed his house’s dining room.[8]On December 21, 2017, ABS-CBN News reporter Doris Bigornia and her cameraman were involved in the accident with a Montero.[9]On  March 17, 2021, Landbank Mu\u00f1oz, Quezon City branch was ploughed by a white Mitsubishi Montero driven by Esther Peralta.Investigation[edit]Initially, the DTI has not ordered any recall of Montero Sport models following its two-week investigation on the alleged SUA incidents.[10] In 2017 the agency has ordered a recall on all automatic transmission variants of the vehicle manufactured between 2010 and 2015, but has since clarified that the recall order was not yet final and executory.[11]Other reactions[edit]Bayan Muna representatives Neri Colmenares and Carlos Isagani Zarate blamed the incidents on the Department of Trade and Industry’s failure to conduct safety inspections on the vehicles in question.[2]In light of the incidents, Mitsubishi Motors Philippines has asserted that the Montero Sport is safe to use, and any claims of sudden acceleration are devoid of any basis.[2]Quezon City Rep. Winnie Castelo, the current chairman of Metro Manila development committee urged Mitsubishi Motors to recall all its defective Montero models until the investigation of the DTI have been concluded.[12]The incident inspired numerous parodies and satirical reactions, among them a mobile app entitled “SUA Your Face”, in reference to Montero owners adopting the hashtag #SUAyourface as a response to the incidents’ notoriety in Philippine media.[13]See also[edit]References[edit]     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/mitsubishi-montero-sport-crash-incidents\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Mitsubishi Montero Sport crash incidents"}}]}]
