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.

Bwahhahahahhahah!
Canadian!
What’s so bad about it? It’s actually historically accurate, not that any of it is a good thing. Maybe it’s a warning to the BLM idiots?
Brilliant ! Cross linked polyethelene wire coating atracts rodents as well, and I think even pvc also. But the soy stuff appears to be worse.
Ad they say: “Rubbin’ is racin’!”
Ah, the chrome horn!
I worked with a lady whose husband was one of those auto Macgyvers who worked for Honda. He would get sent all over the country to diagnose problems that dealerships couldn't figure out.
....BTW I totally agree about Ontario driver skills...
