I'm surprised that is allowed.

Instead of fixing the problem we update the software so it will notify the customer their car is about to catch on fire……

Nice……

And install a gutter and drain line to direct the leaking fuel onto the ground.

Yup. Nothing but the best environmentally friendly solutions here.

I was wondering if this was a satire site, but it looks to be legit. How sad...

did they not learn from the PR disaster of not adding a 7 dollar fix to keep the PInto from exploding in a rear end collision?

SMH...

What is a "Pinto"?

for both cases, I am pretty sure it is not the engineers that were to blame. And while a good generation is between the Pinto and the Escape/ Bronco Sport, the guilty party has the same issue: contol costs even if a few people die from it. that would go on the accountants and senior management to make those decisions, then they tell the engineers to come up with a solution that fits in this cost budget.... And here we are...

A type of horse. Just like a mustang and bronco. not to be confused with a maverick which is a steer/ cow.
