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
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.
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 it a little better in their video, though. I love this channel, but loving something means you want it to do better.
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.
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!
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

@@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.
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.
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.
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
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
Poor quality control is everywhere, I'm a carpenter by trade, and I've noticed problems with every door, window, common hardware, tools, etc. that wasn't near as bad in previous years. Companies/People are getting lazier and not taking pride in their products.
I find it very wild that NISSAN of all businesses to sponsor this should continue to support companies like this that expose flaws especially since they cannot take up on ownership when people like me who had a very similar issue with their vehicle and the radars not working properly and the car to completely turn off and for the emergency brakes turning on within 3 seconds before car completely turning off in its own.
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.
22 Aug 2022 The family of an elderly couple killed when the roof of their F-250 pickup collapsed during a rollover accident in 2014 has been awarded a massive $1.7 billion in punitive damages from Ford. 1999-2016 Ford Super Duty models.
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 😂
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.
"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
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 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
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?"
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.
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.
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
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...
I wish you'd add the VW recall for (Takata?) airbags. The recall was announced in the media. I called to fix it. The dealer said they haven't been given the go-ahead to fix it from VW headquarters. It's been years and they still haven't fixed it.
The biggest issues I see with recalls is, that a lot of American car owners don't properly maintain their cars in the first place. Not to mention those, that think that dealerships and workshops/garages are only ripping you off. Those would probably most likely ignore the letter from the manufacturer before even opening it.
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.
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
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
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.
There are probably 10 more Tesla recalls that need to happen too. Off the top of my head: 1. FSD ghost braking 2. FSD driving into oncoming traffic 3. Cybertruck wheels falling off during collisions 4. Cybertruck frame snapping 5. Cybertruck panels falling off 6. Cybertruck FSD not recognizing things in the road, including child sized things 7. Cybertruck charger getting stuck 8. Cybertruck headlights blocked by snow or mud 9. Cybertruck wipers don't activate during light rain 10. FSD doesn't always see box trucks as obstacles
@@TheRightish - Too many FSD issues for a cybertaxi ^^ - the rims of the triangle seem to be made with very brittle powder metallurgy making them prone to fail. - there are reasons why the shape of the CT was never used, of course snow will accumulate. - Upper control arm are super weak - wiper motor ussues - car wash electrical issues - suspensions issues - sensor calibration issues
JLR master tech here. Land Rover have gotten a lot better, and the comment based on getting approval before replacing the transmission- not true, if it falls into VIN range it’s a straight up replacement no question about it! Cheers!
I’m a die hard Toyota person. They have always been dependable to me. But I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry(first year of body change) and I had the brake issue where it would slow me down while driving. Took it to the dealer and there answer at first was because I increased the rim size it’s causing the computer to trip out. The diameter difference from original to new rims/tires was less than a 1/4 inch difference. I knew it was BS, but kind of knowing cars I was like they might be right. Them sensors could be pointing a different direction now. 99.99% sure that wasn’t the case but that .001% chance, my brain was like maybe it’s possible. A month later had to take the car in and there was an software update they needed to do and when I asked if it was because of the brakes issues they told me no it’s just an update the car needed. Still love Toyotas but that was one of times where I was like these computers are going to cause problems on cars going forward for sure.
QC issues have been an issue with Tesla since the model S, they wont be changing any time soon. Took them a long time to realise that it's a bad idea to make the hood release fully electronic so if the 12V battery dies you cannot open the front of the car to access the dead battery, or the towing eye.
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?
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.
They like to stroke that hate boner, just look at the comments here. Some fools saying they don't see them in winter :D Software recalls where it sorts itself out? Dear lord!
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.
Got reminded of the outtake in Scary Movie 2 - "There's been a major recall on all Japanese-made cars. Automakers warned when exposed to rain, the cars explode."
Why the Tesla hate? I don't know where the naughty Tesla touched you but they are wonderful vehicles. Tesla OTA/firmware updates come out, on average, weekly with both new features and fixes. Short of Rivian there is nobody pushing new features to existing vehicles anywhere near this frequently. I've had my vehicle for more than a year and they have added rear cross-traffic alert. You should see the full-featured service mode that is available on every vehicle sold. They are still pushing updated for 10 year old vehicles with new features. The large "recall" related to autopilot wasn't the feature itself, but to prevent drivers from using "cheat devices" so they didn't have to pay attention.
In regards to the Mazda thing, commercial trucks have been using a system like that for almost 2 decades. Even after all this time the system still freaks out randomly when going around curves, nearing overpasses, vehicles in driveways or other lanes. It will self brake fully unwarranted multiple times a week. This is what happens when it's "working properly". Then there's the ongoing issue of when it stops "working properly". If the camera or sensors have a fault, the system DISABLES the semi-trucks ABS, roll stability system, cruise control, Hill start control.. everything *poof* goodbye. Imagine driving down the road in a semi during winter and *poof* can't stop. It's fun
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.
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.
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
I don't have an Audi but got a Ducati, which is owned by Lamborghini... which is owned by Audi... and would love to have a tech like Steph work on her. :D To be fair, Ducati techs have been pretty cool too.
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.
Ford forgot to prime the plastic rail on the rear glass auto sliders. Easy money baby. I love glass related recalls. Chevy has some kinda glass recall I just heard. Keep em coming, baby. I love easy money.

@@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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
Damn, Sandro and Angelina looking rough going into 2025

Sandro looks like he's smoking too much for the videos LOL
Angelina still hot tho 😂

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
It surprises me that they failed to bring up the Ford Ecosport recall, for which the lengthy block is being replaced as a temporary solution.

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.
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.

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

@@kylereese4822 ya but for a foot pedal for gas or break you would think using a rivet or a nut an bold would be a better option
@@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.
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.
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

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?"
Somehow, I'm not surprised to see a tesla
Tesla should not exist
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.

Quick, what else does CNN say?! We must know. 🤡
The biggest issues I see with recalls is, that a lot of American car owners don't properly maintain their cars in the first place. Not to mention those, that think that dealerships and workshops/garages are only ripping you off. Those would probably most likely ignore the letter from the manufacturer before even opening it.
Steph 🎉
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.
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
@@inquisitive6786 depending on the country and the age of the car it can absolutely be yearly. It is in Belgium for example for older vehicles.
Knew the moment I saw the title Nissan wouldn’t get mentioned. Funny how sponsorship negates mentioning the plethora of recalls from the sponsor.
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.
What a wild time to be alive where your car needs an update to patch out bugs so you don’t crash.
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
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’m a die hard Toyota person. They have always been dependable to me. But I bought a 2018 Toyota Camry(first year of body change) and I had the brake issue where it would slow me down while driving. Took it to the dealer and there answer at first was because I increased the rim size it’s causing the computer to trip out. The diameter difference from original to new rims/tires was less than a 1/4 inch difference. I knew it was BS, but kind of knowing cars I was like they might be right. Them sensors could be pointing a different direction now. 99.99% sure that wasn’t the case but that .001% chance, my brain was like maybe it’s possible. A month later had to take the car in and there was an software update they needed to do and when I asked if it was because of the brakes issues they told me no it’s just an update the car needed. Still love Toyotas but that was one of times where I was like these computers are going to cause problems on cars going forward for sure.
Steph is so freaking 🔥 😍 ❤
As somebody from Nashville I absolutely love the sponsor adds lol.
The ads are atrocious. Miss the old RMS.
QC issues have been an issue with Tesla since the model S, they wont be changing any time soon. Took them a long time to realise that it's a bad idea to make the hood release fully electronic so if the 12V battery dies you cannot open the front of the car to access the dead battery, or the towing eye.
Lmao. An I thought dodge putting the battery in the wheel well was bad...
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
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.
You hate Tesla because you “heard”? You are a mechanic… you should get your own opinion about it…
Don't see them driving around in the winter. That's enough for me to say 💩📦 .
They like to stroke that hate boner, just look at the comments here. Some fools saying they don't see them in winter :D
Software recalls where it sorts itself out? Dear lord!
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.
I love you guys !!
Very informative, entertaining and fun !!
Got reminded of the outtake in Scary Movie 2 - "There's been a major recall on all Japanese-made cars. Automakers warned when exposed to rain, the cars explode."
Why the Tesla hate? I don't know where the naughty Tesla touched you but they are wonderful vehicles. Tesla OTA/firmware updates come out, on average, weekly with both new features and fixes. Short of Rivian there is nobody pushing new features to existing vehicles anywhere near this frequently. I've had my vehicle for more than a year and they have added rear cross-traffic alert. You should see the full-featured service mode that is available on every vehicle sold. They are still pushing updated for 10 year old vehicles with new features. The large "recall" related to autopilot wasn't the feature itself, but to prevent drivers from using "cheat devices" so they didn't have to pay attention.
In regards to the Mazda thing, commercial trucks have been using a system like that for almost 2 decades. Even after all this time the system still freaks out randomly when going around curves, nearing overpasses, vehicles in driveways or other lanes. It will self brake fully unwarranted multiple times a week. This is what happens when it's "working properly".
Then there's the ongoing issue of when it stops "working properly". If the camera or sensors have a fault, the system DISABLES the semi-trucks ABS, roll stability system, cruise control, Hill start control.. everything *poof* goodbye.
Imagine driving down the road in a semi during winter and *poof* can't stop. It's fun
This is an awesome pairing, those guys did good. Great job
The big boy, Freightliner needs a recall about the automatic brakes.
These two are another FANTASTIC Duo
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.
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.
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
Carnitas and my favorite type of video from rms, best boxing day ever.
And as a CDJR employee I've never came across a cherokee without foam... but that software update I've done a LOT.
the foam recall affected 7 vehicles total.
I don't have an Audi but got a Ducati, which is owned by Lamborghini... which is owned by Audi... and would love to have a tech like Steph work on her. :D To be fair, Ducati techs have been pretty cool too.
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.
0:25 that’s the tesla FSD activating
Member when nissan made nice cars skyline ,fair lady ,350z😅 I member 😅
Ford forgot to prime the plastic rail on the rear glass auto sliders. Easy money baby. I love glass related recalls. Chevy has some kinda glass recall I just heard. Keep em coming, baby. I love easy money.
