Regarding safety devices there are many that I believe should be (and in some cases are mandatory): ABS, stability control/traction control, seatbelts, air bags, active head restraints, emergency braking, blind spot warning, Bluetooth. Some that I am not sure of such as lane departure. And some that I believe are largely unnecessary such as back up cameras. Yet there seem to be more defenders of back-up cameras than of the other more significant devices?
I find these gizmos annoying for a somewhat contrary reason. I’m a very safe driver who gets frustrated with people who can’t seem to signal when turning/changing lanes, or dart from lane to lane without a blindspot check. It’s annoying to me that I would have to have all these systems on my new vehicle because of the unsafe driving characteristics of other motorists.
Finn, a “roadie” who says his work as a production manager in the entertainment industry has made him quite familiar with electrical systems, believes his modifications couldn’t possibly have affected the airbag system, calling GM’s alleged suggestion that they did “lies” and “bullshit.”
This was three years and about 7,000 miles after a power steering hose had apparently sprung a leak, and a mechanic had warned that the lack of power steering fluid may have damaged the pump. He or she was apparently right:
Additionally, Philippines government has planned to increase the electrification rate of the country and in order to attain the goal, diesel gensets are being used for generation of electricity which would further escalate the growth of diesel genset market during the forecast period.
Also that nice dark winding road usually had trees along the sides and it is amazing how strong a 6 inch tree trunk is.
" 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

Driving assist features take the responsibility of developing your own safe driving disciplines away from you and place that responsibility with a corporate entity. If you want your safety to be the responsibility of corporation (insert vehicle manufacturer here), you are welcome to buy their products. However, if you want the very best of warning systems for MY vehicle, then you should pay for those as well.
You can’t tell the difference between a 700R4 and a 4L60E by the oil pan as they are nearly the same. If the transmission has a large 18-pin electronic connector above the passenger side pan rail, it’s a 4L60E, as seen here. If it has a cable connection near the cooler lines on the passenger’s side, that’s a 700R4.
" Truck is a 2014 F150 5.0V8 with ~50K miles. While vehicle was in motion at highway speeds ~65mph, brake fluid warning light comes on. I test the brakes by gently depressing the brake pedal, but pedal continues with no resistance nearly to the floor. Brakes are almost completely ineffective and would have zero ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation. I throw on the hazard lights and cut to the shoulder and have to manually downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle. Situation could have been much more serious as I was in moderate traffic. I popped the hood and immediately notice the brake master cylinder reservoir is completely empty. After inspecting all brake lines front and rear and checking all bleeder screws are closed, no visual leaks are present. As I was 100 miles from home driving my wife and child home at night, I had someone bring me some brake fluid to top off the reservoir. After filling the reservoir and bleeding the front brakes, brakes seem to stay tight. I drive ~10 miles and the brake fluid warning light flashes again at highway speeds. Pull over again and notice zero fluid again. Visually inspect all lines, master cylinder, booster, etc., no evidence of leaks. Top off the reservoir to limp the vehicle to a safer location. Notice the engine starting to sputter and fluid completely gone in another ~10 miles. Obviously the master cylinder has failed and is leaking into the booster which is affecting the vacuum in the booster. These are the exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16S24/ NHTSA recall 16V-345, however this does not cover 5.0 V8 motors only 3.5L ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 F150S are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model F150 braking components." – Oct 7, 2017
