problem #2

Apr 071998

Montero 4WD

  • miles
The problem is when Montero runs into a flood area (about only 4 inches deep water) with speed about 30 mph, water may spread over the windshield and roof that the drive could not see anything for a couple of seconds. It is potentially dangerous and scaring, especially on a high-speed freeway. I believe it needs additional fenders or a re-designed front skid plate under the bumper to stop the upward water.
