DECISION ORDER
ORDERED that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.
The plaintiff commenced this action to recover damages for economic and emotional harm allegedly caused by the persistent malfunctioning of a Mercedes automobile that he leased from the defendant Rallye Motors, Inc. In opposition to the defendant's motion, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate that the alleged mechanical difficulties caused any accident, injury, illness, or traumatic event which required medical treatment. Moreover, despite the plaintiff's purported fear of driving the subject automobile, and his access to two other family vehicles, he drove the vehicle in question a distance of 54,000 miles in three years. Under these circumstances, the Supreme Court properly granted that branch of the defendants' motion which was for partial summary judgment dismissing the first cause of action on the ground that it lacked the requisite "guarantee of genuineness" first articulated by the Court of Appeals in Ferrara v. Galluchio ( 5 N.Y.2d 16, 21 ; see also, Ford v. Village Imports, 92 A.D.2d 717 ; Fusco v. General Motors, Corp., 126 Misc.2d 998 ).
