Sounds like a song in the making...

TORONTO -- An Ontario driver said she's been left traumatized and fearing for her safety after her Hyundai SUV randomly slammed on the brakes on its own multiple times.
Unionville resident Erica Mesa spent $47,000 on a new Hyundai Tucson in July 2019 and had no issues with the vehicle until three months later when she was driving to Blue Mountain in Collingwood.
The 25-year-old said she was driving on the highway with four other people when a light came on falsely indicating she was in danger of a front-end collision. Seconds later, the brakes slammed on and the vehicle came to a sudden halt, she said.
Shaken up, Mesa said she continued driving but later that week brought the car into a Hyundai dealership. She said she was told by mechanics that something might have temporarily blocked a safety sensor in the car that is used to avoid collisions.
Mesa said she was told the issue would not happen again and she could continue driving it.
The issue has happened four times now, Mesa says, and although Hyundai told CTV News Toronto her car has been repaired, she still feels it's unsafe.
The second time it happened was two months following the initial incident. (snip)
Mesa said she has been left so traumatized by the ordeal that driving the car isn't an option for her anymore. She doesn't trust that fixing the inhibitor switch for the second time will solve the problem and said it isn't worth risking her life.
She wants her money back from Hyundai Canada and claims they aren't taking her issue seriously. Hyundai Canada will allow her to trade-in the car for $21,000 but will not refund her, she said.

OMG that is so me - and I’m not married to either one of you, I don’t think!
computer glitch!!!
Oh, really?
Seriously?
It seems you've never seen that before. Seriously?
Agreed. Lots of complaints on “car complaint” website about cars slowing down or barely accelerating or accelerating by itself....way too much electronic control..transmission seem to be shift by wire..that is why I bought a manual trans. At least I can stop the car if the engine decides to take off on its own. Gonna be way more fender benders or big accidents with this automatic electronic bull.
I love my ‘81 F150. Don’t have to be a computer programmer to change the oil, and I can fix anything on it. I refuse to own anything past about 2012. I don’t really like anything beyond the late 90s. My capability to actually repair my own vehicle is a big thing for me. I don’t do mechanics. I’m my own mechanic.
Nice tagline.
Blacks are 13% of the population, and are responsible for over half of all violent crime in the US.
Go f*** yourself.
47k for a Hyundai?
I don’t think you understand his point.
I’m pretty happy with my ‘19 Fiesta ST. Minimal extra electronics, except what is legally required, and six speed manual so I don’t need to fight automatic or cvt problems. No problems at all until this afternoon when I accidentally tried to launch in third at a busy intersection and fried a few layers of friction material off the clutch pack.

If I spent $47,000 on a car I’d feel traumatized.
That tag has been there for many years.
Truth is truth, and if you are offended, I have run out of damns to give. Go whine to someone who’ll wipe your tears of grief away, child.
You react like a perpetually offended millennial. Did you not know that others can actually have opinions that don’t exactly match yours?
Grow up.
See my #65, and then GFY
LOL, #52. Not sure how I mistyped that.
...and i can’t imagine that no one has told you how retarded it sounds.
There’s zero truth in your tag line, and believe me nothing you could say could even remotely offend me.
first you called it truth now its opinion....ok I accept that. millinnial?? dude I’m 59
if you want to trade more insults fire away. sissy.
....BTW I totally agree about Ontario driver skills...
How does a reference to how things have happened make me Marxist?
When is the last time a non-white person triggered a world war? Hell, when is the FIRST time?
What on G_d’s green earth makes me a marxist by stating an obvious truth?
Oh, not that I need to qualify myself to you, my grandparents got out of the Soviet Union JUST as the Holomodor began. Technically, my grandfather was an illegal alien in Canada.
You might want to look that whole Holomodor thing up, and get back to me about how socialist I am, in your...interesting opinion.
When blacks riot, they burn their own cities and neighborhoods, destroying their immediate environs. It’s also known as localized warfare, and is only harmful to their immediate area.
The term “When whites riot” is a DIRECT reference to worldwide warfare, destroying everything.
That I have to explain that to you is truly sad. Oh, and if you don’t like my tag, too bad, so sad, it’s YOUR problem, not mine.
I honestly cannot believe that I wasted that much time explaining the blatantly obvious to someone who likely STILL won’t understand.
No automatic brakes on Wood’s SUV? Especially heading into that tree?
I just went through 2 pages of your postings.
She looked homeless to me. Do you know how many diseases homeless people carry? Have you ever had to physically detain anyone? a deranged person or a nutjob to boot??
That’s why they issue the taser. So they don’t have to shoot nutjobs.
Maybe you want to live in a world where people just walk around and assault others. If she had attacked your wife or child would you be so soft and squishy?? Hmmmmmm

point differently... true. not quite the same but a few years ago I switched my CC from a 357mag snubbie to 4” single stack 1911 for a year then to a 3” double stack 1911. It was harder to switch from the single to the double stack than it was from the wheel gun to the single stack. Ha

AMAZED you’ve lasted this long on FR
