I'll be real, I have a Leaf and my job provides me a free Frontier. They're both...decent. The frontier is a simple light weight pickup so not many bells and whistles on it. The most annoying part for me is the solid 1-2 second delay on the audio when running off my bluetooth. Not an issue when driving, but when I arrive at a site early and I want to watch a movie it's really weird to deal with that delay from my phone to the sound. Handles alright. About a 17-18 gallon tank gives me about 400 mi of range so long as I don't drive crazy. Braking feels "okay", I don't have as much stopping power as my Leaf and Corolla do. Transmission shifts a bit slow when I try to floor it, but that's a pickup truck for you. I'd give it a 7/10. Seems like a solid workhorse. My leaf is honestly solid. It's a good "around town" car. Charging isn't expensive compared to gas, especially since I do it at night when I get low cost electricity. The ride is pretty smooth. My biggest fear is the motor bearings will fail at highway speed. In a gas vehicle if your engine catastrophically fails you still can roll forward (I know this from having an engine explode on me on a highway). The guts of the engine aren't directly attached to the drive line, it's an automatic so the wheels can still roll and I can pull off. If a bearing on an electric motor fails it has a risk of seizing instantly which can result in catastrophic loss of control. The other thing that bugs me about the leaf is that the assisted driving feature is REALLY inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't want to work when I'm driving in ideal conditions (clean car, well marked road, good lighting, modest traffic as reference). Then sometimes it will work on janky roads in bad conditions when I wouldn't expect it to work at all. THEN there's the issue of autobreaking. When the car is autopiloting about 65% of the time is will break correctly when coming up on traffic, but sometimes it thinks everything is fine and I have to urgently take over to prevent the car from rear ending someone. So I usually leave driving assistance turned off and I'm golden. I know this sounds like it's a big deal (and it is in terms of risk to those who use it frequently), but I tend to manually control my vehicle so my overall experience with my leaf is about 8.2/10. Could be better, but solid enough. It would be a 9/10 if they could convert the CHADEMO outlet on my car to the tesla outlet for rapid charging. I'm curious to see how this potential merger will affect things in the future.
Yeah, the throttle pedal getting stuck was a Toyota's thing. People even joked about Toyota's slogan "Moving forward", adding "even if you don't want to".
Yeap I worked in the very factory it happened from during that time. Had to QC thousands of recalled parts. The robot welder was leaving a bur just big enough to cause certain pedals to stick down. This was also the time the auto industry crashed. We went from making 2100 parts a day to just 300. And almost every car factory shut down for a few months. Was a rough time to work.
Not every company is perfect my family has owned 6 different Toyotas with zero issues but the newest was a 2010. They are still the most reliable car and know how to correct an issue
This problem killed people before Toyota finally admitted there was a problem. Also Toyota was recently caught lying about emissions and crash safety tests as well as Daihatsu that they also build.. I lost all respect for them.
@JJSmith1100 every brand has lied on emissions. Vw and cummins got in some big heat over it. It's when they get caught you finally hear about it. And I think one person did die from the pedal. And three others had it happen but weren't hurt luckily.
Nissan has issued several recalls for 2024 models, including: Driver's air bag inflator A manufacturing issue may cause the driver's air bag inflator to absorb moisture, which could lead to improper deployment. This recall affects the 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, and Kicks. CVT transmission A critical defect in the CVT transmission could cause sudden power loss while driving. This recall affects the 2024 Sentra. Electronic power steering unit The bolts connecting the electronic power steering unit to the steering rack may loosen, which could lead to loss of steering control or steering lock-up. This recall affects certain 2024 Altima vehicles. Left-side front seat belt pretensioner A missing rivet may cause the lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly to be improperly secured. This recall affects certain 2024 Pathfinder vehicles. More than 40,000 Nissan cars recalled for separate rear-view camera issues Franklin, TN - July 29, 2024 - Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 5,929 2024 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks that “may lose steering control.” This ups the risk of a crash and injury.
That guy was an f-ing state trooper. Dude drives for a living and couldn't even control his damn car to keep himself and his family alive. Also, before you come at me about not knowing how to react I've dealt with that crap a couple of different times. Once in a mustang where the floor mat actually did keep the throttle down (full throttle I might add) and also on a Chevy truck when the idle air valve decided to freak out and allow the truck to just go. I managed both just fine.
@@poolhalljunkie9 We can lament inadequate police training and even too low requirements for driver's licenses and some may even pat themselves on their backs for doing better but suddenly having the throttle stick on full still isn't acceptable for factory-spec cars and people shouldn't have to die to get that fixed.
@@AccidentallyOnPurpose I mean if you wanted to make an unbiased video with integrity you would just choose to not have an auto manufacturer sponsor a video about recalls. They have insurance and tire sponsors they could have reached out to.
As someone who has worked in every aspect of computers since the early 90's (Hardware, Software, Programing, Networking, you name it) it scares me how many computers we are stuffing in cars and hoping they don't fail. So many things can cause computers to freak out, shorts in the wiring, low voltages, poor software, temp changes, the day ends with Y. I think we need to slow down on the EV\Self Driving\Driver Assist stuff until we have more reliable options for controlling the systems.
Same here, now I work for Honda manufacturing and it's honestly concerning how much we are relying on computer systems. I mean I see basic home and gaming PCs freak out randomly for no reason, same with the ECUs at work now. There just needs to be a LOT of failsafe tech
As someone working in electronics, including repairs, it scares me to see control panels being replaced by massive tablets, sensors everywhere that tell the computer to take control of your breaks, of your driving wheels etc... My car is 23yo, and my next car will be even older. I do not trust any of that shit I work with on a daily basis.
As an automotive student, you know what scare me the most is lithium if a technician messes up the wiring on a electric car it could potentially end up in a electrical fire
I work in medical devices, creating software for robotic surgery and wearable technology. It's is a genuine concern for me when I see so many issues in cars caused by bad software. Ridiculous. Just adds more points of failure that are unnecessary, especially with the lack of failsafe systems if some software decides to have a malfunction.
@Yankee7000 I don't necessarily have a problem with it. I do wish they would disclose that conflict in their video. I'm pretty sure Nissan is not doing too well right now, which is why they want to be bought out by Honda.I love this channel, but loving something means you want it to do better.
Yep and the when oil tension arm and belt fail you lose brakes. I just had mine fail, thankfully just a few feet from my drive-way and not on the highway.
Should have been a Nissan tech in the early 2000s. The Quest had 17 recalls. AC line would rub & get a hole. Had to drop the engine out to replace 16in of line. Rear hatch hinges would rip away from the body so we had to fill the gap in the body with a 2 part epoxy. All kinds of squeaks & rattles and annoying bullsh*t. The worst
My buddy hasn't had his truck in his possession for over 3 months now as it's been waiting for it's engine replacement. It's a massive cost in labor, parts, and rentals that have to be given to all of those owners.
During the one Toyota recall they covered, they even praised Toyota for having a solution to a flawed design, and then downplayed the flaw. They had no trouble dragging many brands through the mud then run defense for Toyota. It's just weird. Been watching it happen for decades.
As a kia tech for a bit, I have seen recalls where I've added WHOLE FUSE BOXES. like not a replacement, but an additional fuse box. Along with the constant recalls for theft and reprogramming 😂
@@Andy-oc3ew 2024 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles - The lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly may be improperly secured, due to a missing rivet. Number of Units Affected 12,019
FYI: Nissan has issued several recalls for 2024 vehicles, including: Driver's air bag inflator: A manufacturing issue may cause the driver's air bag inflator to absorb moisture and deploy improperly. This affects the 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, Kicks, and Infiniti QX50. Rearview camera: A software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. This affects certain 2024-25 Rogues and 2025 QX80s. CVT transmission: The 2024 Nissan Sentra has a CVT transmission recall. Potential loss of drive power: The 2024 Nissan Sentra has a potential loss of drive power recall.
I have a friend who worked for Toyota during the accelerator recalls. Not one instance of unintended acceleration was caused by Toyota, it was shit in the floorboards like aftermarket floor mats, water bottles, etc. Toyota jumped on the recall to save face and get ahead of the storm
An engineering buddy of mine told me that the smallest culprit of unintended acceleration was a random event that caused the drive by wire throttle to go into a "closed loop" situation in the programming. The floor mat thing was not the manufacturer fault, but it is funny how the dumbest people cause the most harm to corporations, even though it probably was a good idea to secure the mats.
0:55 Yea Teslas are incredibly bad in my experience, but Every manufacturer is getting worse, they are making you pay more for shittier quality materials and lying about it. Mercedes and Volkswagen, hell VAG in general are a big examples of this. But the general quality of car materials and manufacturing is on a steady decline, even my 07 subaru has better trim pieces than my dads '24 Amarok, its just sad
Facts it’s not only Tesla they are just fallowing suit so they can actually make a profit against Their competitors who have been doing this “low quality/cheap luxury” longer than Tesla has even been a company!
@@samuelbabcock-lv6nn yea its so bad, I think the culprit are the Chinese "Luxury" EV's that are so damn cheaply made but are so cheap to boot, that every other manu is struggling to keep up, which means they are lowering many costs via materials and build quality
@@BigBobJohnsonville Interestingly enough, its not the luxury brands that are denying warranty on their fuck ups, its "affordable" brands like Toyota that are
@@toesmasher21 probably because they take the time to research the right way to do it so it doesn't hurt the brand. Most of the mfgs that are having issues cut corners or asked too much of their systems or shoehorned excess tech in a chassis that didn't support it.
They forgot the Toyota recall with new tundras where they have to replace the entire engine and the one on new Tacoma's where the third brake light leaks water in the can and it gets all moldy in the can behind the headliner and carpet and all that. If this happens they have to strip the entire interior out and clean everything and reseal the light. And the tundra recall is for shavings left in the heads up on manufacturing. So most recalls are QC issues.
Don't forget the chassis recalls on the tundra/sequoia and tacoma/4runner frames. Everything had to be swapped from old frame to new frame. 45-60 flagged hours depending on the model. So.e techs were doing 2 a week.
9:49 Hell no!! I will _NEVER_ own a vehicle that can be sent "ota updates", period! I don't care how convenient it may be. I will never trust anyone with the ability to send wireless updates to my vehicles, especially these days with people trying to get laws and standards passed like wirelessly reporting your speed to nearby police, being able to automatic limit a vehicle's speed to the speed limit, being able to remotely shut off a vehicle while its driving, etc!
Im really surprised to not see the jeep 4xe 95B PARK OUTSIDE electric battery recall that affected 1.2m units. I’m service BDC and my life has been hell since that recall dropped early October
"You cannot program the control modules" funny enough (I don't know about other brands but) ford has all of their software on a publicly accessible database and I have updated my own cars calibration files for my PCM, TCU and APIM a couple of times. I've even updated a donner ECU's vin number. You just need a FEPS module or a FRPS compatible OBD adapter
OTA has been going on with equipment for DECADES. it doesn't always work. had a piece of equipment flashed and bricked due to an OTA and we tried to not get them to do it to our spare once we got back up because we had no other spare, thankfully they didn't brick us twice. but OTA come in VERY handy when you're unable to get physical access
Recalls are interesting in the USA compared to Countries over here in Europe, the USA seems insanely "overly-cautious" on certain Things but then at the same Time allows Cars on the Road that are far more dangerous That said, would love to see you Mechanic Guys and Girls react to some "Nürburgring Touristenfahrten Mechanic Fails" or Fails, Dangerous Moments or similar Videos. To make it more interesting for Americans, lots of US Soldiers stationed in Europe go race on there too, especially from Ramstein Airbase here in Germany As a German i drive on the Nürburgring during Touristenfahrten at least once a Month. Touristenfahrten for those who don't know is each Weekend where everyone from anywhere in the World (usually of course from the 44 European Countries) can race their Car, Bike etc. around it without any Limits together with others close by And you always see some weird, dangerous but also hilarious Mechanical Failures happening I'm sure i'm not the only one who would love to see some American Mechanics check these out and come to Conclusions Merry Christmas, Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
I worked at a ford dealership in parts for about a year. About time they make that a recall. It happens ALL THE TIME!!! EVEN BEFORE THE RECALL THEY WERE ON BACKORDER
yeah this was the final thing for me that caused me to unsubscribe right now. Donut media has gone way far downhill with their channels. I can't stand them anymore.
Funniest thing about the explorer recall is we don’t just have the trim piece paint matched and in stock. So we do the inspection portion, find it’s bad, we take the piece off and order it. Customer takes the car and says they’ll come back when it’s here… but don’t come back.
@@0Heeroyuy01 Or the right type of f-cking clue to begin with, because I _think_ there are glues that're meant to be strong enough for stuff like that, and Tesla used basically wood glue. I hate how many of those identical looking Model Whatever-the-hells I've been seeing where I live.
Tesla is not the only one that uses glue to adhere the sporty “bright or sporty” pedal facades to the pedal. What Tesla is guilty of doing is using the wrong type of glue. The only reason why they used a rivet over re-gluing with the correct glue is to make the owners of the Cybertruck feel better about it not happening to them.
Steph says "Realistically how many times are you getting into the rear seat of your Prius?" Realistically, ain't nobody getting any back seat action in a Prius...
An over the air update doesn't require a recall. Tesla actually tried to get them to not call it a recall. The distinction being that some people resist their cars getting updates.
it is a recall. If something is not designed or made properly causing it to not work like it is supposed to work and manufacturer says it needs to be fixed, then it’s a recall
My recall experience on my e46 for the takata airbag recall was the best recall experience I’ve had out of the multiple cars with recalls I’ve owned. The recall happened not long after i was hit by a boat and was in the middle of relearning to walk so driving was a no go at the time (especially with it being manual). BMW sent me out a mobile repair team and they just replaced all the airbags at my house and gave me free hats and were genuinely nice all round. Not a bad experience for spending about 4000 on the 330ci.
2:30 My parent's 2022 Ford (Escape I think it is?) does this same thing too! It'll randomly slam on the brakes on the highway bringing the entire vehicle to a stop.
On that pedal trim piece all you have to do is drill 4 plus holes and put some bolts nuts and lock washers. I have after market covers on my truck and the kit it came with was sad. So I drilled and bolted them and now perfect fit.
Just on a note regarding recalls for part or assembly replacements "as necessary": It is often related to specific part numbers of individual parts only. It can happen if a supplier changed the production line, if the OEM noticed a problem and asked for a different specification, if material compositions get modified, and a lot of other factors. The incredibly complex thing to remember is that not only do car manufacturers update their own manufacturing processes and the parts they look for, but the suppliers do as well, thus some of the issues, challenges, and problems only show up later on, and only within specific hardware combinations. Which is one of the main reasons why a lot of car manufacturers with a focus on quality assurance like to keep extensive track of what issue occurred in which vehicle, for which part under which circumstance in order to spot trends and issues.
The prius section, they talked about the manual latch button. The electronic switch is behind the plastic. I got mine fixed because of my kids. But it thankfully only happened to one prius in japan, and water instrusion comes from a pressure washer, pointed at the right angle, could make it short. But still worth fixing.
8:59 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The correct response is, "Frak cars that need "software updates" as a part of maintenance; let alone can be WIRELESSLY ACCESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Right? Why the hell would anyone want their vehicle to be able to be accessed remotely? Only naive people think it's a good idea. They're unable to grasp of what a government or police state or even just bad actor can do with remote access into vehicles.
Good animations in. Really helped me understand exactly what they’re talking about. Are these made in house or is there a database of educational animations?
17:15 I have a question, 8 years ago I got t boned in my 2013 f150 by a Dodge 2500. The Dodge won. But only my curtain airbags deployed. Why would that be?
1:50 the specific model for the Toyota issue was the Lexus ES350. I work at the Toyota plant that makes them and we have a whole area sectioned off talking about the incident and what steps we took in QC to avoid it in the future
Ones that come to mind from personal experience, Ram Recall W25, wiper arms need to be torque an extra 90⁰ other wise they might come off. Pays 0.1 hour to complete and I'm not joking. Waste of time for what equates to 6 minutes. At $18 when I did them made a whopping $1.80. Ram Recall W63. In their infinite wisdom, they designed the driver's floor mat to have too much protrusion with the grip bars, which if the gas pedal is adjusted all the way back towards the fire wall and depressed while going, there was a chance that the pedal would stick to the floor mat and continue to go. The fix at the time was mark out like 6 inches with like 6 of the grip bars and cut them back with razor blades. Eventually they got redesigned floor mats to be installed. Then any recall that has to do with using the frickin Julian calendar...why is that still used when we've been using the Gregorian calendar for centuries? Oh module was made on this date of the Julian calendar? Flash it or replace it. We've had some RRTs where if the flash failed at or before 60% completion, the module being flashed would brick and that is per the vendor of those modules. This would be the RFH module on some Grand Cherokee L's I believe.
Have to say in Finland and I think most European countries cars have yearly government checkups like the UK has MOT. And if you're car has a recall and you don't fix it, your car doesn't pass the inspection
In the US, most states have a yearly safety and emissions inspection that you have to pass in order to be road legal, but that could be anything from California's more strict testing (which is still not close to most EU tests) to something like Pennsylvania where you just need basic safety stuff like the exhaust and subframe not being rusted out, to Indiana or WV where there is next to 0 inspection and you can drive just about anything legally
@inquisitive6786 yep depends if it's a new car. But there's a problem or double the problem most cases small thing that could find in the first year, most cases the problem has escalated to much bigger one like outer tire rod had fuck up the inner one too
@@Oldheritage68 Yep depends the age of the car. I'm a mechanic but always tell the inspectors to find everything wrong with the car that I can fix it with a list. Most of the joints are hazzle to find in the two post lift so their shakers are useful 😄
My 2019 honda civic once stopped on it's own briefly, though I chalked it up to the sensors being dirty and misreading the road or something, but glad to know it can be a widespread issue. Luckily it's only happened the one time!
Speaking from personal experience on the Explorer roof rack trim recall, you do not want to be the vehicle behind an Explorer if that trim comes off. Had one fly off in front of me on the interstate a couple months ago. I got lucky and didn't get hit with it, but only because I saw it flapping and backed off just as the Explorer changed lanes to exit. The trim separated completely during the lane change. Flew right past my vehicle, maybe 2 feet from hitting the side mirror.
My 06 Mazda 3 had a recall that I think affects all of their vehicles made at the time that I ignored until I no longer owned the car. It was relatively minor, but basically the plastic used to make the Mazda badge on the interior steering wheel becomes really rigid over the years, and gets to the point where eventually it has the potential to shatter into glass-like shards if the airbag is deployed, resulting in potentially severe eye injuries. The solution is just to take it into the dealer where they remove the original logo and replace it with a fresh one, or maybe one with a newer material that won't shatter even after years of exposure to sun. Probably wouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. I would've gotten it fixed eventually, but the M logo on mine still seemed to have some flex to it so I wasn't too pressed about it.
For context on that 2nd tesla recall, it was an update for the car to test that youre paying attention when approaching an intersections with the camera. before that, you were able to just hold the steering wheel while scrolling tiktok without ever looking up. A case of bad eggs ruining it for everyone
The Prius recall actually doesn't affect the button visible in the picture. That is the manual door opener. The actual button with electronics is in the recessed portion positioned vertically.
One past job I had was making harnesses for electric motors. I had to be careful not to overheat the heat shrink tubing or I'd trigger the thermal fuse. Seems simple to me to add one of those, but that wasn't in auto industry.
Took our explorer in for the pillar trim recall, they just took them off and said the new pieces are on backorder. So we've just been trimless for months with no real time frame for when we will get replacements.
As a kia tech, never heard of the telli recall resulting in a fire. Get the recall done, but not a singly telli has come to the shop with a fire having happened. 99.9% of the time, it only has to do with the passenger seat, and nothing to do with the drivers seat, and might only have negative repercussions if the passenger kicks the crap out of the power seat switch panel, which never happens. Literally never come across one which would ever catch on fire. The tesla recalls were way more dangerous
On the note of the manufacturer's not installing something, I used to be a tech for a certain car dealership. For liability reasons, I will not name which one or what the brand of car was. One day, we had a customer come in with their brand new sedan complaining that the brakes were squealing. When I get out to the car, I notice both front brake rotors have unusual scraping on them. I get the first wheel off, and what I see missing has me speechless from shock. Check the other side, and it's the same thing. I'm even more shocked. I go over to my coworker to make sure I'm not delusional and ask, "Hey, do these new cars have a design that means they don't require axel nuts anymore?"
I am not a dealer tech and can program/code control modules with factory software/interface, there are also many passthrough methods to program like jbox u can program per module. Personally i work on mostly European so have BMW ICOM, VCDS, Xentry, VIDA, and piwis for Porsche. There are ways to get the software free if your in the scene and just buy the interface that's needed which is way cheap. Kinda helps if your a computer nerd like me too cause most software's don't mix well together so separate hard drives or VM's work well instead of having a laptop for each software. I hate doing recall/warranty work but will take mine in if its not just a simple software update/change that i can easily do. OTA updating should be included on every car in my opinion but it can still be programmed or updated with laptop using factory software/passthrough.
Worse car ever? Have you seen BMW newest shit shows? Or how about Fords lighting truck which failed so horribly. Or how about the F150 earlier models that took nearly 10 years to fix?
Right now I am doing recalls on the Chevy Express for a software unpdate on the transmission control module. Also did 66b recall which is a software update for chryslers. The update it had originally messes up the rear camera.did the 10b recalls on jeep cherokees which is for a bolt on the control arm. Recalls on the. Ford transit which involved the dif drain plug showing metal contamination.
As someone who worked at a Ford dealership, a TSB is in all reality; a warranty recall that they haven't been sued for yet so they won't fix it. Like the TSB for the 2011-2024 5.0L V8 and that it has a audible ticking noise that Ford claims isn't a big deal.
I worked for toyota when they had brake pedal and gas pedal issues. There was a tiny spot of weld that was snagging when the pedal was pushed down all the way. It was only a few but i remember inspecting thousands of parts. Similar thing happened to the brake pedal but was less dangerous obviously.
I was kind of expecting that one recall to be in here.. the one from Ford on their recent F150s where the parking brake can deploy without warning at any speed due to friction causing that particular wire to slowly have the insulation torn away at a certain spot (and then shorting to the chassis).. that's what I remember at least. That was a few months ago.
7:41 my best explanation I could give is that most motors such as seat motors and window motors have a thermistor. That’s why the motor will just stop functioning after it gets hot as he said. A thermistor is basically a resistor that increases in resistance as heat builds, you can also have a thermistor that does the opposite but in most motor scenarios they use a thermistor as a protection device. What likely is the problem with the kia is that they do not have a thermistor so excessive usage of the power seats in a short amount of time may cause motor failure which could possibly result in a fire if extreme enough. This is all just my assumption I could be wrong but from my experience in the field that would be what I think causes it
a better question is why would a fuse blow for the seat motors? You leave your radio on continuously and you don't blow a fuse.. the fuse only blows when there's a surge of power that fries the fuse..
I used to do recalls on Hyundais and with most of the ones that could cause "thermal events" it was literally too high of a fuse used in the system. I had to swap countless fuses and multifuse packs, and itwas always with one of a lower wattage.
Regarding the floor mat recall on the Toyota's. The massive situation that Juan mentioned was that a family died in a Camry because the pedal got stuck due to a floor mat.
testlas is on equal footing as (cr)apple, you pay more for the brand to get shoddy quality of product, sure it might be user friendly, but thats where the pros stop completely
When I worked for a motorcycle brand, there was an evap-canister (charcoal filled plastic can that filters fumes) placement issue. It was mounted between the engine and swingarm. A customer was riding, with his wife as a pillion, and merging when two three lane highways met. He hit a deep puddle, the evap-canister sucked in a lot of water and killed the engine. He had to cross six lanes of 60mph highway, full of traffic with no power. Absolute worst case scenario. As a credit to the manufacturer, they immediately issued the recall, based on this single incident. They realised how poor the design was and how lucky they were it only happened once. Also that everyone survived. They gave the customer a load of accessories and goodies to make up for the terrifying experience.

@@Justin_80 prob a pr stunt to look good to the world when really deep down their laughing inside
I'll be real, I have a Leaf and my job provides me a free Frontier. They're both...decent. The frontier is a simple light weight pickup so not many bells and whistles on it. The most annoying part for me is the solid 1-2 second delay on the audio when running off my bluetooth. Not an issue when driving, but when I arrive at a site early and I want to watch a movie it's really weird to deal with that delay from my phone to the sound. Handles alright. About a 17-18 gallon tank gives me about 400 mi of range so long as I don't drive crazy. Braking feels "okay", I don't have as much stopping power as my Leaf and Corolla do. Transmission shifts a bit slow when I try to floor it, but that's a pickup truck for you. I'd give it a 7/10. Seems like a solid workhorse.
My leaf is honestly solid. It's a good "around town" car. Charging isn't expensive compared to gas, especially since I do it at night when I get low cost electricity. The ride is pretty smooth. My biggest fear is the motor bearings will fail at highway speed. In a gas vehicle if your engine catastrophically fails you still can roll forward (I know this from having an engine explode on me on a highway). The guts of the engine aren't directly attached to the drive line, it's an automatic so the wheels can still roll and I can pull off. If a bearing on an electric motor fails it has a risk of seizing instantly which can result in catastrophic loss of control. The other thing that bugs me about the leaf is that the assisted driving feature is REALLY inconsistent. Sometimes it doesn't want to work when I'm driving in ideal conditions (clean car, well marked road, good lighting, modest traffic as reference). Then sometimes it will work on janky roads in bad conditions when I wouldn't expect it to work at all. THEN there's the issue of autobreaking. When the car is autopiloting about 65% of the time is will break correctly when coming up on traffic, but sometimes it thinks everything is fine and I have to urgently take over to prevent the car from rear ending someone. So I usually leave driving assistance turned off and I'm golden. I know this sounds like it's a big deal (and it is in terms of risk to those who use it frequently), but I tend to manually control my vehicle so my overall experience with my leaf is about 8.2/10. Could be better, but solid enough. It would be a 9/10 if they could convert the CHADEMO outlet on my car to the tesla outlet for rapid charging.
I'm curious to see how this potential merger will affect things in the future.

Well done lol
Yeah, the throttle pedal getting stuck was a Toyota's thing. People even joked about Toyota's slogan "Moving forward", adding "even if you don't want to".
Yeap I worked in the very factory it happened from during that time. Had to QC thousands of recalled parts. The robot welder was leaving a bur just big enough to cause certain pedals to stick down. This was also the time the auto industry crashed. We went from making 2100 parts a day to just 300. And almost every car factory shut down for a few months. Was a rough time to work.
Not every company is perfect my family has owned 6 different Toyotas with zero issues but the newest was a 2010. They are still the most reliable car and know how to correct an issue
That was my joke like 15 years ago in high school. Keep moving forward, even when you're slamming on the brake pedal.
This problem killed people before Toyota finally admitted there was a problem. Also Toyota was recently caught lying about emissions and crash safety tests as well as Daihatsu that they also build.. I lost all respect for them.
@JJSmith1100 every brand has lied on emissions. Vw and cummins got in some big heat over it. It's when they get caught you finally hear about it. And I think one person did die from the pedal. And three others had it happen but weren't hurt luckily.
Nissan has issued several recalls for 2024 models, including:
Driver's air bag inflator
A manufacturing issue may cause the driver's air bag inflator to absorb moisture, which could lead to improper deployment. This recall affects the 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, and Kicks.
CVT transmission
A critical defect in the CVT transmission could cause sudden power loss while driving. This recall affects the 2024 Sentra.
Electronic power steering unit
The bolts connecting the electronic power steering unit to the steering rack may loosen, which could lead to loss of steering control or steering lock-up. This recall affects certain 2024 Altima vehicles.
Left-side front seat belt pretensioner
A missing rivet may cause the lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly to be improperly secured. This recall affects certain 2024 Pathfinder vehicles.
More than 40,000 Nissan cars recalled for separate rear-view camera issues
Franklin, TN - July 29, 2024 - Nissan (OTCMKTS:NSANY) is recalling 5,929 2024 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks that “may lose steering control.” This ups the risk of a crash and injury.
Hmmm i wonder why why Nissan didn't get roasted in this video.
I sorry but everything has been solved with this sponsorship 👍
I was a big fan of Nissan (don’t ask why) hopefully this Honda merger will fix them
I never knew that that's why there's locking pegs on floor mats. I remember that recall!
That happened in 2009 my 2001 Saab had them from the factory. After the recall it was just made a requirement.
Unfortunately it took a dude and his entire family losing their lives. The 911 call has circled the internet every so often.
That guy was an f-ing state trooper. Dude drives for a living and couldn't even control his damn car to keep himself and his family alive. Also, before you come at me about not knowing how to react I've dealt with that crap a couple of different times. Once in a mustang where the floor mat actually did keep the throttle down (full throttle I might add) and also on a Chevy truck when the idle air valve decided to freak out and allow the truck to just go. I managed both just fine.
@@poolhalljunkie9 We can lament inadequate police training and even too low requirements for driver's licenses and some may even pat themselves on their backs for doing better but suddenly having the throttle stick on full still isn't acceptable for factory-spec cars and people shouldn't have to die to get that fixed.
Ironically, my Aussie '99 Integra Type R has a single mount peg - and my '90 Civic (Jap import) had the same. It's nothing new.

@@dillonh321Why care? They're not recommending car brands, they're just talking about recalls. It's really not that serious.
As someone who has worked in every aspect of computers since the early 90's (Hardware, Software, Programing, Networking, you name it) it scares me how many computers we are stuffing in cars and hoping they don't fail. So many things can cause computers to freak out, shorts in the wiring, low voltages, poor software, temp changes, the day ends with Y. I think we need to slow down on the EV\Self Driving\Driver Assist stuff until we have more reliable options for controlling the systems.
Same here, now I work for Honda manufacturing and it's honestly concerning how much we are relying on computer systems. I mean I see basic home and gaming PCs freak out randomly for no reason, same with the ECUs at work now. There just needs to be a LOT of failsafe tech
As someone working in electronics, including repairs, it scares me to see control panels being replaced by massive tablets, sensors everywhere that tell the computer to take control of your breaks, of your driving wheels etc... My car is 23yo, and my next car will be even older. I do not trust any of that shit I work with on a daily basis.
It's all a marketing scam. EVs are not even good.
As an automotive student, you know what scare me the most is lithium if a technician messes up the wiring on a electric car it could potentially end up in a electrical fire
I work in medical devices, creating software for robotic surgery and wearable technology. It's is a genuine concern for me when I see so many issues in cars caused by bad software. Ridiculous. Just adds more points of failure that are unnecessary, especially with the lack of failsafe systems if some software decides to have a malfunction.

Came to post the same. Toyota recalls always seem to slide under the radar for some reason. Whether it's Consumer Reports or Donut Media...
During the one Toyota recall they covered, they even praised Toyota for having a solution to a flawed design, and then downplayed the flaw. They had no trouble dragging many brands through the mud then run defense for Toyota. It's just weird. Been watching it happen for decades.

I have a friend who worked for Toyota during the accelerator recalls. Not one instance of unintended acceleration was caused by Toyota, it was shit in the floorboards like aftermarket floor mats, water bottles, etc. Toyota jumped on the recall to save face and get ahead of the storm
not so
An engineering buddy of mine told me that the smallest culprit of unintended acceleration was a random event that caused the drive by wire throttle to go into a "closed loop" situation in the programming. The floor mat thing was not the manufacturer fault, but it is funny how the dumbest people cause the most harm to corporations, even though it probably was a good idea to secure the mats.
It WAS Toyota with the floormat recall.
0:55 Yea Teslas are incredibly bad in my experience, but Every manufacturer is getting worse, they are making you pay more for shittier quality materials and lying about it. Mercedes and Volkswagen, hell VAG in general are a big examples of this. But the general quality of car materials and manufacturing is on a steady decline, even my 07 subaru has better trim pieces than my dads '24 Amarok, its just sad

@@toesmasher21 probably because they take the time to research the right way to do it so it doesn't hurt the brand. Most of the mfgs that are having issues cut corners or asked too much of their systems or shoehorned excess tech in a chassis that didn't support it.
Do all the Nissan ads you want, still won’t own one 6:12
They forgot the Toyota recall with new tundras where they have to replace the entire engine and the one on new Tacoma's where the third brake light leaks water in the can and it gets all moldy in the can behind the headliner and carpet and all that. If this happens they have to strip the entire interior out and clean everything and reseal the light. And the tundra recall is for shavings left in the heads up on manufacturing. So most recalls are QC issues.
Don't forget the chassis recalls on the tundra/sequoia and tacoma/4runner frames. Everything had to be swapped from old frame to new frame. 45-60 flagged hours depending on the model. So.e techs were doing 2 a week.
9:49 Hell no!! I will _NEVER_ own a vehicle that can be sent "ota updates", period! I don't care how convenient it may be.

Recalls are interesting in the USA compared to Countries over here in Europe, the USA seems insanely "overly-cautious" on certain Things but then at the same Time allows Cars on the Road that are far more dangerous

Tesla is not the only one that uses glue to adhere the sporty “bright or sporty” pedal facades to the pedal. What Tesla is guilty of doing is using the wrong type of glue. The only reason why they used a rivet over re-gluing with the correct glue is to make the owners of the Cybertruck feel better about it not happening to them.

My recall experience on my e46 for the takata airbag recall was the best recall experience I’ve had out of the multiple cars with recalls I’ve owned. The recall happened not long after i was hit by a boat and was in the middle of relearning to walk so driving was a no go at the time (especially with it being manual). BMW sent me out a mobile repair team and they just replaced all the airbags at my house and gave me free hats and were genuinely nice all round. Not a bad experience for spending about 4000 on the 330ci.
2:30 My parent's 2022 Ford (Escape I think it is?) does this same thing too! It'll randomly slam on the brakes on the highway bringing the entire vehicle to a stop.
On that pedal trim piece all you have to do is drill 4 plus holes and put some bolts nuts and lock washers. I have after market covers on my truck and the kit it came with was sad. So I drilled and bolted them and now perfect fit.
Somehow, I'm not surprised to see a tesla
Tesla should not exist
Just on a note regarding recalls for part or assembly replacements "as necessary": It is often related to specific part numbers of individual parts only. It can happen if a supplier changed the production line, if the OEM noticed a problem and asked for a different specification, if material compositions get modified, and a lot of other factors.
The incredibly complex thing to remember is that not only do car manufacturers update their own manufacturing processes and the parts they look for, but the suppliers do as well, thus some of the issues, challenges, and problems only show up later on, and only within specific hardware combinations.
Which is one of the main reasons why a lot of car manufacturers with a focus on quality assurance like to keep extensive track of what issue occurred in which vehicle, for which part under which circumstance in order to spot trends and issues.
I want to see more of the recall/ recall update videos
The prius section, they talked about the manual latch button. The electronic switch is behind the plastic.

Ones that come to mind from personal experience,
Ram Recall W25, wiper arms need to be torque an extra 90⁰ other wise they might come off. Pays 0.1 hour to complete and I'm not joking. Waste of time for what equates to 6 minutes. At $18 when I did them made a whopping $1.80.
Ram Recall W63. In their infinite wisdom, they designed the driver's floor mat to have too much protrusion with the grip bars, which if the gas pedal is adjusted all the way back towards the fire wall and depressed while going, there was a chance that the pedal would stick to the floor mat and continue to go. The fix at the time was mark out like 6 inches with like 6 of the grip bars and cut them back with razor blades. Eventually they got redesigned floor mats to be installed.
Then any recall that has to do with using the frickin Julian calendar...why is that still used when we've been using the Gregorian calendar for centuries? Oh module was made on this date of the Julian calendar? Flash it or replace it.
We've had some RRTs where if the flash failed at or before 60% completion, the module being flashed would brick and that is per the vendor of those modules. This would be the RFH module on some Grand Cherokee L's I believe.
Have to say in Finland and I think most European countries cars have yearly government checkups like the UK has MOT. And if you're car has a recall and you don't fix it, your car doesn't pass the inspection
In the US, most states have a yearly safety and emissions inspection that you have to pass in order to be road legal, but that could be anything from California's more strict testing (which is still not close to most EU tests) to something like Pennsylvania where you just need basic safety stuff like the exhaust and subframe not being rusted out, to Indiana or WV where there is next to 0 inspection and you can drive just about anything legally
Not yearly but every two years. Yearly is crazy

Where is the squirt explaining things? 😂
Speaking from personal experience on the Explorer roof rack trim recall, you do not want to be the vehicle behind an Explorer if that trim comes off. Had one fly off in front of me on the interstate a couple months ago. I got lucky and didn't get hit with it, but only because I saw it flapping and backed off just as the Explorer changed lanes to exit. The trim separated completely during the lane change. Flew right past my vehicle, maybe 2 feet from hitting the side mirror.
My 06 Mazda 3 had a recall that I think affects all of their vehicles made at the time that I ignored until I no longer owned the car. It was relatively minor, but basically the plastic used to make the Mazda badge on the interior steering wheel becomes really rigid over the years, and gets to the point where eventually it has the potential to shatter into glass-like shards if the airbag is deployed, resulting in potentially severe eye injuries. The solution is just to take it into the dealer where they remove the original logo and replace it with a fresh one, or maybe one with a newer material that won't shatter even after years of exposure to sun. Probably wouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. I would've gotten it fixed eventually, but the M logo on mine still seemed to have some flex to it so I wasn't too pressed about it.
For context on that 2nd tesla recall, it was an update for the car to test that youre paying attention when approaching an intersections with the camera. before that, you were able to just hold the steering wheel while scrolling tiktok without ever looking up. A case of bad eggs ruining it for everyone
The Prius recall actually doesn't affect the button visible in the picture. That is the manual door opener.
The actual button with electronics is in the recessed portion positioned vertically.
The worst feature of Tesla is its whackjob CEO
Quick, what else does CNN say?! We must know. 🤡

I love you guys !!
Very informative, entertaining and fun !!
Nissan: Hey can you make a video for our new shitty car by highlighting recalls from any brand BUT Nissan. Here’s some cash to sell out.
One past job I had was making harnesses for electric motors. I had to be careful not to overheat the heat shrink tubing or I'd trigger the thermal fuse. Seems simple to me to add one of those, but that wasn't in auto industry.
Siliconator strikes again
Took our explorer in for the pillar trim recall, they just took them off and said the new pieces are on backorder. So we've just been trimless for months with no real time frame for when we will get replacements.

As a kia tech, never heard of the telli recall resulting in a fire. Get the recall done, but not a singly telli has come to the shop with a fire having happened. 99.9% of the time, it only has to do with the passenger seat, and nothing to do with the drivers seat, and might only have negative repercussions if the passenger kicks the crap out of the power seat switch panel, which never happens. Literally never come across one which would ever catch on fire. The tesla recalls were way more dangerous
Steph is so freaking 🔥 😍 ❤
On the note of the manufacturer's not installing something, I used to be a tech for a certain car dealership. For liability reasons, I will not name which one or what the brand of car was. One day, we had a customer come in with their brand new sedan complaining that the brakes were squealing. When I get out to the car, I notice both front brake rotors have unusual scraping on them. I get the first wheel off, and what I see missing has me speechless from shock. Check the other side, and it's the same thing. I'm even more shocked. I go over to my coworker to make sure I'm not delusional and ask, "Hey, do these new cars have a design that means they don't require axel nuts anymore?"
The irony of mechanics promoting Nissans. Good lord, way to discredit yourself lmao
Mechanics need job security, they dont want to lose business. Probably why they're promoting Nissan, lol.😂
I am not a dealer tech and can program/code control modules with factory software/interface, there are also many passthrough methods to program like jbox u can program per module. Personally i work on mostly European so have BMW ICOM, VCDS, Xentry, VIDA, and piwis for Porsche. There are ways to get the software free if your in the scene and just buy the interface that's needed which is way cheap. Kinda helps if your a computer nerd like me too cause most software's don't mix well together so separate hard drives or VM's work well instead of having a laptop for each software. I hate doing recall/warranty work but will take mine in if its not just a simple software update/change that i can easily do. OTA updating should be included on every car in my opinion but it can still be programmed or updated with laptop using factory software/passthrough.
So Nisan sponsors a video with their worst car ever made about recalls. They truly have no self awareness.
Worse car ever? Have you seen BMW newest shit shows? Or how about Fords lighting truck which failed so horribly. Or how about the F150 earlier models that took nearly 10 years to fix?
@what you mentioned isn’t far behind, but at least a ford lightning looks sort of cool
Right now I am doing recalls on the Chevy Express for a software unpdate on the transmission control module. Also did 66b recall which is a software update for chryslers. The update it had originally messes up the rear camera.did the 10b recalls on jeep cherokees which is for a bolt on the control arm. Recalls on the. Ford transit which involved the dif drain plug showing metal contamination.
The ads are atrocious. Miss the old RMS.
As someone who worked at a Ford dealership, a TSB is in all reality; a warranty recall that they haven't been sued for yet so they won't fix it.
Like the TSB for the 2011-2024 5.0L V8 and that it has a audible ticking noise that Ford claims isn't a big deal.
YES! JUAN ON RMS! I love his opinions of mechanic talk!
I worked for toyota when they had brake pedal and gas pedal issues. There was a tiny spot of weld that was snagging when the pedal was pushed down all the way. It was only a few but i remember inspecting thousands of parts. Similar thing happened to the brake pedal but was less dangerous obviously.
I remember I had a recall on one of my trucks for some reason the wiper motor would stop and either catch fire or blowup completely
I was kind of expecting that one recall to be in here.. the one from Ford on their recent F150s where the parking brake can deploy without warning at any speed due to friction causing that particular wire to slowly have the insulation torn away at a certain spot (and then shorting to the chassis).. that's what I remember at least. That was a few months ago.
Toyota tech here, I'm surprised you guys didn't talk about the Tundra recall where they get a whole new short block!
You should have shown the transmission part as a manual transmission though. Been watching donut since 2018 always loved the channel!
7:41 my best explanation I could give is that most motors such as seat motors and window motors have a thermistor. That’s why the motor will just stop functioning after it gets hot as he said. A thermistor is basically a resistor that increases in resistance as heat builds, you can also have a thermistor that does the opposite but in most motor scenarios they use a thermistor as a protection device. What likely is the problem with the kia is that they do not have a thermistor so excessive usage of the power seats in a short amount of time may cause motor failure which could possibly result in a fire if extreme enough. This is all just my assumption I could be wrong but from my experience in the field that would be what I think causes it
a better question is why would a fuse blow for the seat motors? You leave your radio on continuously and you don't blow a fuse.. the fuse only blows when there's a surge of power that fries the fuse..
I used to do recalls on Hyundais and with most of the ones that could cause "thermal events" it was literally too high of a fuse used in the system. I had to swap countless fuses and multifuse packs, and itwas always with one of a lower wattage.
Regarding the floor mat recall on the Toyota's. The massive situation that Juan mentioned was that a family died in a Camry because the pedal got stuck due to a floor mat.
2018 VW tiguan sunroof lighting catching fire from moisture was one on mine that was recalled
I noticed on the Jeep the number of units affected was shown as "7". Somebody at one plant had a bad day?
testlas is on equal footing as (cr)apple, you pay more for the brand to get shoddy quality of product, sure it might be user friendly, but thats where the pros stop completely
Oh you for the "lower links may rust off" for the Nissan Altima 😂😂
Did you guys change something with the green screen? I don't normally notice it, but the reflections and key are really noticeable in this video.
When I worked for a motorcycle brand, there was an evap-canister (charcoal filled plastic can that filters fumes) placement issue. It was mounted between the engine and swingarm. A customer was riding, with his wife as a pillion, and merging when two three lane highways met. He hit a deep puddle, the evap-canister sucked in a lot of water and killed the engine. He had to cross six lanes of 60mph highway, full of traffic with no power. Absolute worst case scenario.
As a credit to the manufacturer, they immediately issued the recall, based on this single incident. They realised how poor the design was and how lucky they were it only happened once. Also that everyone survived. They gave the customer a load of accessories and goodies to make up for the terrifying experience.
You don't mind me asking what brand it was because most brands try to blame the customer for bad engineering.
@@cyclonebuzz8172 Big American brand that isn't the big American brand you're thinking of.
