caption_attribution_description: This is a new 4WD by Mitsubishi. So far I saw only two, one Pearl White and one Platinum Beige Metallic. For me this is Mitsubishi's version of the Toyota Fortuner. This car was spotted below Wisma Prudential, at Hilltop. I think the owner works somewhere near, as his/ her car is always around this area.
context_page_description: Near the end of 2015, a number of accidents, also called as "sudden unintended acceleration", occurring in the Philippines involving the Mitsubishi Challenger model, locally marketed as Montero Sport, were reported causing concerns regarding the safety of the car model and filing of several class action lawsuits against Mitsubishi Motors Philippines.
  As of June 2020, over 100 complaints against Mitsubishi Motors Philippines were filed by Montero Sport owners. The incident has since been the subject of an investigation by the Department of Trade and Industry. There are also several sudden unintended acceleration incidents involving 2009 to 2011 Montero that date way back in the year 2010 to 2012. However, no such incidences have surfaced in other countries.
  At least 23 SUA incidents involving Montero Sports were recorded by the Philippine National Police Highway Patrol Group, from motorists in Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, Iloilo City, Laguna and Tacloban.
