One of the Infintis I test drove in 2007 had adaptive cruise control. It freaked me out that, all of a sudden, the car slowed down. (I can’t remember if it ignored my foot on the accelerator.) My instant thought was, “What if it does this while I’m changing lanes to pass the vehicle for which it wants to slow down?” The minimum distance setting on the cruise control was generous and the maximum ludicrous.
Hope this software fix takes care of it. Sure beats the heck out of burning Ford trucks and death wobbling Ram trucks, though.
I dislike the new bout of safety tech because of the reasons in which they are being considered necessary – lazy, poor auto design being shored up with buggy, intrusive systems.
You are on the same brainwave as the wealthy doctor who ran his toddler over with his SUV and then sued and petitioned for mandatory backup cameras for everyone.
With the tank in place and new supply and return lines routed forward, the FiTech crew then began the disassembly process, removing the single four-barrel intake manifold and all the remaining gasket material from the heads and surrounding walls.
I would love a backup camera. In so many cars of this era it’s very hard to see out the back window, including my ’08 Civic. The general lack of visibility drives me nuts. I’d rather instead of various cameras and warnings, that the feds would mandate visibility. That would make driving more of a pleasure, as well as increasing safety.
Q: I have been running E85 in my flex-fuel vehicle more often than not lately. I actually got it for $1.39 a gallon a couple of months ago. I was just told that I should change my oil more often since I’m using E85. It’s this true?
My neighbor had a 2011 Ford Edge and had the brake booster failure issue. Dealership wanted to charge him bc vehicle was out of warranty. I did research for him and had him contact Ford. Ford did eventually pay him back after he went through 4 of those boosters! He finally after 4th one traded it off for an Acadia Denali.
Now all I have to do is replace the timing belt and water pump before I can finally get that crappy Honda out of my life. I’ve already started on that job, and so far, it’s been absolute hell. Stay tuned to hear more about that.
So you think it’s A-okay or moral to force a bunch of people’s paid-for older but functioning cars off the road and put them into debt because the only way you will feel that your family is adequately safe on the road is if everyone is driving cars with blind spot monitoring and whatever else? Get a grip man. The narcissism knows no bounds!
I like backup cameras and safety features that stay in the background, but the beep/flashing stuff I don’t see the appeal of.
20. Make no mistake; the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE is the real thing. While the Scrambler 1200 line was born of the current Bonneville crop, its revisions may make it a similarly-styled cousin to them on paper—the utility, ease of use and fun of the Bonnevilles hasn’t been lost from the DNA. The Scrambler 1200 adds a genuine ADV-level of off-road capability, without compromising its on-road friendliness. The 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE took a beating on the road and off – leaving me impressed and effectively raising the bar for the scrambler segment.
