What owners wrote
Put in 4.5 quarts of oil into tank that should last 3000 miles. But when checking dip stick at 3000, there was no oil left. Dealer said oil might be leaking in engine valves, and it was normal for at least a quart of oil to be burned up.
The crankshaft pulley bolt has broken 3 times in 2003 while driving. Powersteering is lost and the last time car died while driving.the previos owner fixed it on feb.7, 2003. It broke while my husband was on the freeway may 15th, 2003 and then it broke again sept.4,2003. There is a recall on this bolt for the montero 3.0 l engine and the galant same year. Why no recall on the montero 3.5 l? No fatalities this time.
