That's rather scary. Two things I expect when driving; the steering wheel to send me in the direction I point it, and the brakes to stop me when I step on the pedal.


In the "good old days" they would simply send you a sticker to put on the dash;
"Warning, sudden brake failure may occur."

Honda just put out a recall on brakes too. Seems a pivot pin in the pedal assembly wasn't staked and can fall out rendering the brake pedal inoperable. Better order another couple of hundred thousand more of those stickers.

Ford has announced 70 + recalls this year. How in the world can a consumer have confidence in a company producing products affected by it.

Oh I know, Go to Chevrolet... NOT they don't take ownership of the 6.2L debacle as evidenced in the lets change the oil in your truck. No way I can trust them either.

Can't find a designated number for Ram.

It's a wonder they sell any of them now a days.

Modern cars and trucks have 246813579 more things to go wrong than one from the 1950's.

Yet the last 10 or so vehicles my wife and I have owned have gone over 200k miles with nothing but routine maintenance. Older vehicles were simpler and easier to work on which was a good thing because working on them was constant.

I really like my '19 just fine, no real itch to replace her. That's convenient, because my wallet would have words with me.

That new interior is some nice, though.

I hate how often I find myself saying this, but post-COVID manufacturing sure seems to be lacking.

So, if you're not supposed to drive it, does Ford pay for towing it to the dealer?

So, if you're not supposed to drive it, does Ford pay for towing it to the dealer?

Or provide a replacement vehicle while yours sits?

I have had recalls and my dealer provided a loaner while my vehicle was out of service. Suspect that is dealer decision and not Auto company.

I passed a Superduty pulling a really nice 5th wheel camper on the interstate this morning. I confess I gave him way more room than normally needed before pulling back into the travel lane.

Unless I missed something, it seems like Ram is the only full sized truck which hasn't been reft with problems in the last 6 years or so.
