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.

    Gotta love how corporations can just put dangerous deathmobiles on the street and just pull a “oopsie daisy” when people start complaining

      I hate the car industry so much. Oh no you can’t put on a muffler on your car, it’s too loud.

      Except obviously when you can afford a Lamborghini, because rich people can be as loud as they want.

      Uh no that that rear spoiler looks dangerous, that’s not allowed.

      But you can sell cars that just hop into 1st gear, that’s a honest mistake

        Can’t have pop up headlights or hood ornaments because they’re dangerous to pedestrians.

        But you can have a hood that’s six feet tall because that’s totally safe for pedestrians.
