[@drfarrin]

I'll be real, I have a Leaf and my job provides me a free Frontier. They're both...decent. The frontier is a simple light weight pickup so not many bells and whistles on it. The most annoying part for me is the solid 1-2 second delay on the audio when running off my bluetooth. Not an issue when driving, but when I arrive at a site early and I want to watch a movie it's really weird to deal with that delay from my phone to the sound. Handles alright. About a 17-18 gallon tank gives me about 400 mi of range so long as I don't drive crazy. Braking feels "okay", I don't have as much stopping power as my Leaf and Corolla do. Transmission shifts a bit slow when I try to floor it, but that's a pickup truck for you. I'd give it a 7/10. Seems like a solid workhorse. My leaf is honestly solid. It's a good "around town" car. Charging isn't expensive compared to gas, especially since I do it at night when I get low cost electricity. The ride is pretty smooth. My biggest fear is the motor bearings will fail at highway speed. In a gas vehicle if your engine catastrophically fails you still can roll forward (I know this from having an engine explode on me on a highway). The guts of the engine aren't directly attached to the drive line, it's an automatic so the wheels can still roll and I can pull off. If a bearing on an electric motor fails it has a risk of seizing instantly which can result in catastrophic loss of control. The other thing that bugs me about the leaf is that the assisted driving feature is REALLY inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't want to work when I'm driving in ideal conditions (clean car, well marked road, good lighting, modest traffic as reference). Then sometimes it will work on janky roads in bad conditions when I wouldn't expect it to work at all. THEN there's the issue of autobreaking. When the car is autopiloting about 65% of the time is will break correctly when coming up on traffic, but sometimes it thinks everything is fine and I have to urgently take over to prevent the car from rear ending someone. So I usually leave driving assistance turned off and I'm golden. I know this sounds like it's a big deal (and it is in terms of risk to those who use it frequently), but I tend to manually control my vehicle so my overall experience with my leaf is about 8.2/10. Could be better, but solid enough. It would be a 9/10 if they could convert the CHADEMO outlet on my car to the tesla outlet for rapid charging. I'm curious to see how this potential merger will affect things in the future.

Yeap I worked in the very factory it happened from during that time. Had to QC thousands of recalled parts. The robot welder was leaving a bur just big enough to cause certain pedals to stick down.

[@Demicron]

Nissan has issued several recalls for 2024 models, including: Driver's air bag inflator A manufacturing issue may cause the driver's air bag inflator to absorb moisture, which could lead to improper deployment. This recall affects the 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, and Kicks. CVT transmission A critical defect in the CVT transmission could cause sudden power loss while driving. This recall affects the 2024 Sentra. Electronic power steering unit The bolts connecting the electronic power steering unit to the steering rack may loosen, which could lead to loss of steering control or steering lock-up. This recall affects certain 2024 Altima vehicles. Left-side front seat belt pretensioner A missing rivet may cause the lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly to be improperly secured. This recall affects certain 2024 Pathfinder vehicles. More than 40,000 Nissan cars recalled for separate rear-view camera issues Franklin, TN - July 29, 2024 - Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 5,929 2024 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks that “may lose steering control.” This ups the risk of a crash and injury.

I managed both just fine.

@@poolhalljunkie9 We can lament inadequate police training and even too low requirements for driver's licenses and some may even pat themselves on their backs for doing better but suddenly having the throttle stick on full still isn't acceptable for factory-spec cars and people shouldn't have to die to get that fixed.

As someone who has worked in every aspect of computers since the early 90's (Hardware, Software, Programing, Networking, you name it) it scares me how many computers we are stuffing in cars and hoping they don't fail. So many things can cause computers to freak out, shorts in the wiring, low voltages, poor software, temp changes, the day ends with Y. I think we need to slow down on the EV\Self Driving\Driver Assist stuff until we have more reliable options for controlling the systems.

[@VermillionRacing]

Same here, now I work for Honda manufacturing and it's honestly concerning how much we are relying on computer systems. I mean I see basic home and gaming PCs freak out randomly for no reason, same with the ECUs at work now. There just needs to be a LOT of failsafe tech

As a kia tech, never heard of the telli recall resulting in a fire. Get the recall done, but not a singly telli has come to the shop with a fire having happened. 99.9% of the time, it only has to do with the passenger seat, and nothing to do with the drivers seat, and might only have negative repercussions if the passenger kicks the crap out of the power seat switch panel, which never happens. Literally never come across one which would ever catch on fire. The tesla recalls were way more dangerous

For context on that 2nd tesla recall, it was an update for the car to test that youre paying attention when approaching an intersections with the camera. before that, you were able to just hold the steering wheel while scrolling tiktok without ever looking up. A case of bad eggs ruining it for everyone

[@kylelinder4623]

On the note of the manufacturer's not installing something, I used to be a tech for a certain car dealership. For liability reasons, I will not name which one or what the brand of car was. One day, we had a customer come in with their brand new sedan complaining that the brakes were squealing. When I get out to the car, I notice both front brake rotors have unusual scraping on them. I get the first wheel off, and what I see missing has me speechless from shock. Check the other side, and it's the same thing. I'm even more shocked. I go over to my coworker to make sure I'm not delusional and ask, "Hey, do these new cars have a design that means they don't require axel nuts anymore?"

[@laurikoivumaki1471]

Have to say in Finland and I think most European countries cars have yearly government checkups like the UK has MOT. And if you're car has a recall and you don't fix it, your car doesn't pass the inspection

[@berke2336]

In the US, most states have a yearly safety and emissions inspection that you have to pass in order to be road legal, but that could be anything from California's more strict testing (which is still not close to most EU tests) to something like Pennsylvania where you just need basic safety stuff like the exhaust and subframe not being rusted out, to Indiana or WV where there is next to 0 inspection and you can drive just about anything legally

[@inquisitive6786]

Not yearly but every two years. Yearly is crazy

My recall experience on my e46 for the takata airbag recall was the best recall experience I’ve had out of the multiple cars with recalls I’ve owned. The recall happened not long after i was hit by a boat and was in the middle of relearning to walk so driving was a no go at the time (especially with it being manual). BMW sent me out a mobile repair team and they just replaced all the airbags at my house and gave me free hats and were genuinely nice all round. Not a bad experience for spending about 4000 on the 330ci.

[@IRNoahBody]

OTA has been going on with equipment for DECADES. it doesn't always work. had a piece of equipment flashed and bricked due to an OTA and we tried to not get them to do it to our spare once we got back up because we had no other spare, thankfully they didn't brick us twice. but OTA come in VERY handy when you're unable to get physical access

Ones that come to mind from personal experience, Ram Recall W25, wiper arms need to be torque an extra 90⁰ other wise they might come off. Pays 0.1 hour to complete and I'm not joking. Waste of time for what equates to 6 minutes. At $18 when I did them made a whopping $1.80. Ram Recall W63. In their infinite wisdom, they designed the driver's floor mat to have too much protrusion with the grip bars, which if the gas pedal is adjusted all the way back towards the fire wall and depressed while going, there was a chance that the pedal would stick to the floor mat and continue to go. The fix at the time was mark out like 6 inches with like 6 of the grip bars and cut them back with razor blades. Eventually they got redesigned floor mats to be installed. Then any recall that has to do with using the frickin Julian calendar...why is that still used when we've been using the Gregorian calendar for centuries? Oh module was made on this date of the Julian calendar? Flash it or replace it. We've had some RRTs where if the flash failed at or before 60% completion, the module being flashed would brick and that is per the vendor of those modules. This would be the RFH module on some Grand Cherokee L's I believe.

On that pedal trim piece all you have to do is drill 4 plus holes and put some bolts nuts and lock washers. I have after market covers on my truck and the kit it came with was sad. So I drilled and bolted them and now perfect fit.

The prius section, they talked about the manual latch button. The electronic switch is behind the plastic. I got mine fixed because of my kids. But it thankfully only happened to one prius in japan, and water instrusion comes from a pressure washer, pointed at the right angle, could make it short. But still worth fixing.

[@moogle68]

My 06 Mazda 3 had a recall that I think affects all of their vehicles made at the time that I ignored until I no longer owned the car. It was relatively minor, but basically the plastic used to make the Mazda badge on the interior steering wheel becomes really rigid over the years, and gets to the point where eventually it has the potential to shatter into glass-like shards if the airbag is deployed, resulting in potentially severe eye injuries. The solution is just to take it into the dealer where they remove the original logo and replace it with a fresh one, or maybe one with a newer material that won't shatter even after years of exposure to sun. Probably wouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. I would've gotten it fixed eventually, but the M logo on mine still seemed to have some flex to it so I wasn't too pressed about it.

[@Yvolve]

When I worked for a motorcycle brand, there was an evap-canister (charcoal filled plastic can that filters fumes) placement issue. It was mounted between the engine and swingarm. A customer was riding, with his wife as a pillion, and merging when two three lane highways met. He hit a deep puddle, the evap-canister sucked in a lot of water and killed the engine. He had to cross six lanes of 60mph highway, full of traffic with no power. Absolute worst case scenario. As a credit to the manufacturer, they immediately issued the recall, based on this single incident. They realised how poor the design was and how lucky they were it only happened once. Also that everyone survived. They gave the customer a load of accessories and goodies to make up for the terrifying experience.

[@cyclonebuzz8172]

You don't mind me asking what brand it was because most brands try to blame the customer for bad engineering.

[@muhcks1692]

7:41 my best explanation I could give is that most motors such as seat motors and window motors have a thermistor. That’s why the motor will just stop functioning after it gets hot as he said. A thermistor is basically a resistor that increases in resistance as heat builds, you can also have a thermistor that does the opposite but in most motor scenarios they use a thermistor as a protection device. What likely is the problem with the kia is that they do not have a thermistor so excessive usage of the power seats in a short amount of time may cause motor failure which could possibly result in a fire if extreme enough. This is all just my assumption I could be wrong but from my experience in the field that would be what I think causes it

[@OOO-s6b4i]

Just on a note regarding recalls for part or assembly replacements "as necessary": It is often related to specific part numbers of individual parts only. It can happen if a supplier changed the production line, if the OEM noticed a problem and asked for a different specification, if material compositions get modified, and a lot of other factors. The incredibly complex thing to remember is that not only do car manufacturers update their own manufacturing processes and the parts they look for, but the suppliers do as well, thus some of the issues, challenges, and problems only show up later on, and only within specific hardware combinations. Which is one of the main reasons why a lot of car manufacturers with a focus on quality assurance like to keep extensive track of what issue occurred in which vehicle, for which part under which circumstance in order to spot trends and issues.

Ford transit which involved the dif drain plug showing metal contamination.

[@dollywoodrules]

Speaking from personal experience on the Explorer roof rack trim recall, you do not want to be the vehicle behind an Explorer if that trim comes off. Had one fly off in front of me on the interstate a couple months ago. I got lucky and didn't get hit with it, but only because I saw it flapping and backed off just as the Explorer changed lanes to exit. The trim separated completely during the lane change. Flew right past my vehicle, maybe 2 feet from hitting the side mirror.

As someone who worked at a Ford dealership, a TSB is in all reality; a warranty recall that they haven't been sued for yet so they won't fix it. Like the TSB for the 2011-2024 5.0L V8 and that it has a audible ticking noise that Ford claims isn't a big deal.
