  Montero XLS - 4WD - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Jarule - January 19 - 10:00 am

  I have experienced some issues with wind noise and the transmission is sort of acting funny. The transmission sort of gives a "kick" when going into high gear. Otherwise, cool SUV.

  Rough Ride - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Timonfan - April 26 - 10:00 am

  The only major complaint I have of my Monetero Sport LS is it rides too much like a truck. For those unfortunate enough to ride in the back seat it is an extremely rough ride. Every little bump jars your body. I recently spent 4 hours in the back of a Montero sport Limited and my back and hips were still hurting the next day.

  Wont Buy Another One - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Myarw - September 17 - 6:06 pm

  I have owned my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for four years and I cant wait to unload it. It has many transmission problems. Its very sluggish starting out and has an annoying slip between 2nd and 3rd gears. Its a smooth ride once you get past 3rd gear. The sensors are a big problem, Ive replaced my O2 sensor two times at the tune of $189 each time only to have them go bad again within a year. Then the service engine soon light came on. Now the 4 wheel drive is going bad too. I am trading it soon and cant wait to be rid of it.

  Problems, problems, and more problems - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By javaman - May 7 - 10:00 am

  I have always had a front-end creaking noise that the dealers could fix/find. Several of the switches have had to be replaced that had stopped working. The servicing dealership (Burlington Mitsubishi) overfilled the automatic transmission with fluid causing it to overheat. At this point I am going to trade it in on a Toyota 4-runner or Sequoia. The resale values are so much better for the Toyotas and their reliability is great (my wife drives a 4-runner). I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone...getting good service seems next to impossible (I have visited 3 separate dealerships for servicing).

  NEEDS SOME WORK - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By TAYREN - July 24 - 10:00 am

  FUN TO DRIVE! GET MANY COMPLIMENTS ON LOOK OF VEHICLE. LIKE THE SIZE COMPARING TO OTHER MID-SIZE SUVS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN PERFORMANCE WITH TRANSMISSION- HAS DELAYED KICK-IN WHEN INCREASING SPEED. ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. 4WD HAS ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH SLIPPAGE.

  Issues - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Todd - May 29 - 1:20 am

  Although I liked my Mitsubishi Montero Sport for the most part, I dont belive it was constructed well. Ive had a large number of problems with this vehicle. Initially it was a little oil leak, which always seem to take a while to fix. After it was repaired, some lifters were getting stuck. After several failed attempts to get this fixed, I ended up getting a new short block. With that repair, they damaged the bolt that one of the tension pulleys is mounted to, causing it to shear off a month or so later. Now I have additionaloil leaks, from the head gasket to the cam plug o-rigns. Other issues include poor shifiting from 3rd to 4th when accelerating quickly.

  Its a TRUCK - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
  By Aubrey - August 19 - 10:56 am

  Beware! It drives like a truck, feels like a truck, and yes its a truck not your average passenger SUV. So far no major repair expenses but we have had some performance and usability issues on the 4WD. When brand new it was not worth the price! Also, big recommendation: disable the "anti lock brakes" feature or you will not have control over the vehicle on slippery roads or in an emergency need to stop event (you can unplug this on each side of the front disk brakes). Gas mileage not good. We will never buy a Mitsubishi again. Cheers.............
