I'm Aeromaster56 and I approve this message.

I was walking through, on my way to Kikowani station, when some grunt came driving in on a ghost. I hijacked him and DROVE for a few minutes and came upon a door that needed to be opened. I got out of it, a Jeckyl sniper shot me, and I heard some weird noises. I killed the Jeckyl and turned around, but where was my ghost? I guess bungie doesn't want you driving in Mombasa Streets.

Indeed. I haven't had XBL for a long time, but I still come on her everyday.

Yeah, that happened to me as well, but with my Mongoose. The loading sections (opening doors) seem to cause vehicles to disappear. I liked my goose. :/

Yeah, this happened to me the one time I managed to find a Grunt with a Ghost.

Yes I think we are not supposed to be driving in certain lvls. Cause when I was playing one time on ODST, there was a perfectly good ghost, but i couldn't drive it.

I've never had this problem with Mongooses.

Never really hijacked a Ghost though, usually I just blow them up.

Heh. I found one on Normal like this, and like you just explained, it disappeared at some checkpoint.

Later, on another Campaign run on Legendary, I found a Brute in a Ghost once, between Uplift Reserve and the next beacon, sniped him, stole the Ghost, and I kept it all the way through the Campaign up to the entrance of Data Hive. It wasn't disappearing between saves.

I wonder if something, some achievement, performance or action triggers this, or if it's completely random.

Once I was driving in a Mongoose towards a set of security doors that was closing. As the doors closed on the Mongoose, it exploded into a big fireball, killing me. The game also decided to give a checkpoint at the exact moment before the Mongoose exploded - so when the last checkpoint was reloaded, the only thing I could do was watch the rookie being blown up over and over again... I guess the city really doesn't want you driving around the city at night!
