A woman driving a Mitsubishi Montero Sport landed in hospital on Saturday, just a few days after a petition was filed at the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) against the use of the vehicle due to a defect causing sudden unintended acceleration (SUA).

Kathlyn Marjorie Sy, 25, said she was on her way home in Sto. Domingo, Barangay Tatalon, Quezon City from her place of work in Makati City when her Montero suddenly accelerated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into concrete barriers along Araneta Avenue in Quezon City.
