Dt: the consumer owns a 2001 mitsubishi montero sport. On 10-11-05 while driving on the interstate there was a wreck in front of consumers vehicle. When the consumer applied the brakes, they would not stop the vehicle. The brake light had come on earlier that day. The contacts vehicle hit the vehicle in front. Upon impact, the air bags deployed but not all the way. The vehicle was totaled. The contact sustained injuries. (11/15/05)
The rotors and braking system on the 2001 montero sport are undersized for the weight of the vehicle. At 4217 miies, the rear rotors had to be turned. They warp badly, making it very hard to contol when breaking. Now at 37k they need turning again, if possible, or replacement.
