Now you’re telling me the car is going jam on the brakes, or yank the steering wheel every time it beeps? No GD way, I’d set fire to it and take the insurance check after Day 1.

“After careful investigation of your case, none of the available data suggests that the product allegation has any merit,” the note reads. “Based on the facts provided, General motors is unable to assume responsibility or damages and we suggest that you solve this matter through your insurance carrier.”

2. The ride-by-wire throttle on the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE has a mode for every situation. Owners will be able to explore six modes— Road, Sport, Off-Road, Off-Road Pro, Rain, and a custom Rider mode. The five preset modes adjust the throttle mapping, ABS, and traction control intrusion, depending on the given mode. Off-Road mode disables ABS in the rear, and uses a trail-specific TC level. Off-Road Pro disables all aids. The Rider mode allows you to run any throttle map and any level of rider aids, including off.

" Vacuum pump and brake booster has failed on my F150. Ford states that the vehicle is not covered under "15N05" extended coverage/recall. Vehicle was manufactured at the effected plants during the time listed in the bulletin. Ford is charging me over $1300 to fix my vehicle, despite this being a known safety problem." – Aug 10, 2018

My Ford actually has those little blind spot mirrors embedded in the mirrors, which are great. But they seemed to be designed to only work when the mirrors are pointed at the fenders, i.e., the wrong way that everyone learns to use.

I’d rather have a truck that needs a little software update to fix a steering boost, than a truck that will make me replace the motor after 100 k. Ford, you hearing us?

“So yeah, I do want you to have the very best in warning systems, selfishly for MY OWN SAFETY. And if that means I end up paying more for my vehicle, that’s a minor price in my opinion.”

The hydraulic system that actuates the clutch in your manual-transmission car will not last forever. Just like every wear item in your car, this will fail eventually. Back in the day, a clutch cable was used, but newer cars utilize a hydraulic system. If you are handy with a socket wrench and ratchet, this job is quite easy.

You generally seem inclined towards a utopic “dogooder” mentality like in the past taking issue with people in the US being able to use the services of unlicensed mobile mechanics for affordable car repair, you’d rather see everyone in debt making payments, you know what’s good for them you claim. And again here you’re advocating for higher expenses forced upon others, but instead of the usual justification of “it’s for their own good,” you let the mask slip a bit and are saying it’s for your personal benefit of keeping your own kin safe. It’s kind of disturbing, and I’m frankly rather glad that we live in different countries.

This is the best version of the YZ450F ever made. Along with its ultra-durability, it has the best suspension in the class by far. You can be slow, fast, fat or skinny, and the YZ450F SSS components will work for you. This is the easiest bike for a racer to set up to suit his weight speed and style. What is most shocking about the 2019 Yamaha YZ450F is that it is basically the exact same bike that finished fourth in last year’s 450 shootout. We downgraded it last year because the front end would wander, wiggle or wag in corners. It turned-in okay but was exceedingly loose from center out—to the point of being twitchy at speed. So, what changed our minds in 2019? Yamaha added beefier fork lugs and stronger wheel collars. Nothing else! It is the 2018 Yamaha YZ450F but with a stiffer connection to the front wheel.

The updated Traverse is a blend of SUV and minivan/wagon conveniences in a stylish overall package that is utilitarian in function, but truly modern-looking at every corner.

Brazil’s two largest rental companies, Mills Estruturas e Serviços de Engenharia S.A. and Solaris, have confirmed a binding agreement to merge. The deal follows the announcement in late-September that the two were discussing a possible merger.
