GAHHD DAMNIT!

The Edsel didn't have this many problems. Wasn't it bad enough it's the ugliest vehicle ever created, it had to be a pile of junk too?

In all honestly I am really surprised that there has not been a class action lawsuit about knowingly selling a defective product. But then again, the people who buy them are musk's fanboys.

The cost to replace the windshield wiper. 😲

In 2023 the Ford F-150 was recalled 57 times, 6 million vehicles.

This new one sounds like a fun ride...

https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ford-recalls-550000-pickup-trucks-transmissions-suddenly-downshift-111396299

"DETROIT -- Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going.

The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford's F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.

Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash."

 

Also this year, 820,000 Silverado 2500s were recalled, a safety issue with the tailgate.

In case you haven't heard, the mechanical emergency keys can fail too, and a dead battery in the fob is not a fun day either. 

My take on keyless entry is all of them need redundant car-side power in addition to the vehicle's 12/48 volt accessory systems. It's only job is to make the f'ing doors work.

I wasn't responding because the conversation was going from the usual inane to aggressive 6th grade pile on crap. Sometimes you guys act like you're still in puberty.

You never fail in your whataboutism rhetoric.

Yet, with a dead FOB...you can use the mechanical key backup to gain entry and the dead FOB can be used to start the car (usually requires holding the FOB next to the start engine button).  Are you really suggesting that both FOB and mechanical key could fail, I mean sure...I guess...but come on.  🤡

Not shocking you came back without backing up the following claim "On some vehicles, this one a 2019 Hyundai, most are going completely keyless. "

....yeah, I wouldn't doubt if the problem with that one was the driver.

I’m just waiting for you to back up the comment you made about most vehicles are going keyless, in reference to not having a manual unlock method. 
 

Nothing childish nor aggressive about asking you to back that up. So when are you gonna answer me?

Says the guy who comes here and lies, deflects, flip-flops on the truth and generally just wants Musk and Trump to turn up to his gym so he can see them in the changing room…

So what. Do you think that it excuses how bad the cybertruck is?

It's a feature, not a bug.  Maybe the Tesla shareholders will give Musk a couple billion more in bonus money when they hear about this.  They do seem to live in opposite world.

Worst Designed/Engineered vehicle ever.

 

[d5aqoëp]

How much polish you want on your truck?

Answer: Yes

[Circaflex]

Sure the tech is nice, but I cannot get over the design over this vehicle, it is downright ugly. I see so many of them in my area now and they are just hideous. Tesla is a bunch of computer nerds attempting to build a vehicle, I much prefer Rivian's approach which was car people adding tech to a vehicle.

[wakjak]

quality

That's his SECOND broken CT by the way.. lol

DocMs statement is also incorrect. Ford issued 57 recalls across ALL their vehicles, not the F150. How many models does Ford sell in the USA?

[Steven P. Administrators]

Comparing a poor quality build like the Cybertruck to Ford recalls is also a bit dumb. Usually, Ford recalls are due to a poor quality part that failed or was installed wrong, or as in my case, a recall on a BMW E46 because they discovered after 20 years that the airbag could suddenly go off, (after a couple of accidents and deaths from the issue happened in Europe), and this was the fault of the airbag manufacturer, not BMW itself.

Of course it is. He never tells the truth about anything. Don't trust a thing he says.
