    Mitsubishi meltdown

    Mitsubishi Mitsubishi Advice Mitsubishi 380 Mitsubishi 380 Advice Mitsubishi 380 2006
    My 2006 Mitsubishi 380 GT has been a gem with over 100,000 km of largely trouble free motoring, until a few weeks ago on the Westgate Freeway it ran out of control, locking itself on 90 km/h with me braking heavily until more lanes were available so I could use neutral to slow down, albeit with the engine revving wildly, to park in an emergency lane. I am astounded it would behave like this following what was later diagnosed as computer meltdown. I shudder to think what could have happened in heavier traffic, or worse if my wife or son had been driving! Have you heard of other such instances?

    We haven't heard of other 380s that have suffered the same problem, but in the course of our checking we heard of a VZ Commodore that had the same problem when the accelerator pedal broke.
