My mom had a 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Limited. Here is her story.
My mom was traveling on Hwy 57 toward Eagle Pass, TX, around
1100 at night. She came around a turn at about 75mph. She did
not notice some people on the side of the road changing a tire
until she came right up on them. She swerved to miss them and
began sliding sideways and then began to spin, this is the point
where she closed her eyes held on tight the steering wheel. She
felt the truck jerk violently for about 3 seconds. She opened
her eyes when everything stopped.
The stereo and headlights were still on. The engine was running
and the truck was still in Drive. She didn't know which way the
truck was pointing and the compass was reading Malfunction. She
did not see anyone and around and tried to move the truck off
the roadway to avoid any further accidents. The truck would barely
move as she pushed the gas. She heard metal screeching on the
road. She tried to open the driver door and would not open easily.
She opened it with a hard push and it flung open. At the point,
the engine died along with all the lights. She began walking
back to the people who were chaning a tire and they were running
toward her.
The police eventually came and she went back to the truck as
they shined lights on it. She was still in a daze and began to
notice the truck was lopsided. At that point she realized she
had flipped it. The bystanders on the road told her they heard
it flip several times. She was very fortunate to be wearing her
seatbelt. She pretty much walked away unscathed with 1 superficial
scratch. The right side of the truck was pretty much untouched
which is clue as to how fast the truck was rolling.
I warned her about the these trucks being top-heavy. She has
since then bought a new Eddie Bauer Expedition and feels much
safer now.
