Ford needs to ask themselves, Do our customers want this speeding ticket feature? First thing that came to my mind is, don't buy a ford!
I really liked this video Tim. I'm glad you are bringing more attention to the GR Corolla situation. When big companies who hold all the cards deny warranties or insurance companies won't pay, they need to be called out. Thanks.
There’s reviewers who have already had their GR Corolla for 30,000 miles or more and have had no issue. I’m betting you this guy screwed with a modification on it.
@@sammyjammy6647 Maybe, but Toyota's response says nothing about that.
not called out, sued
@@RossMalagarie you’re assuming that Toyota is in the wrong while the customer could’ve abused gearshifting at high speeds.
@@sammyjammy6647 could be.
I'm definitely not buying a Ford now or ever again.
Everyone who buys a new Toyota needs to go into the app and go to the privacy settings and jump through ALL the hoops to turn OFF all data collection and request they delete anything already collected. I had to do this on my 2024 Land Cruiser
Better yet, don’t use the app.
@@matthewgaines10yes that would be ideal but the salesman insisted I download the app and sign up for all the bs the day I bought it as part of the whole buying process. I should have just said no but yeah most people are like me and just go along with whatever they say during the purchase so they will need to turn off everything.
and they will still collect and sell your data and you'll never know
@@matthewgaines10 if you don't use the app to turn off the data collection the vehicle will collect your data and sell it.
Ford has no right to monitor my vehicle at any time
I know nothing about Toyota GR Corolla engines - but if this engine failure and subsequent fires happened twice - it will definitely happen again.
The manufacturer would be wise to settle prior to the issue becoming a class action lawsuit. Also, Toyota Connect has some privacy issues.
Older low tech vehicles are the way to go. Manufacturers have become big brother and God knows how bad it will get with them partnered with the government. We have GPS that tracks where we go, how fast we go and now we're adding cameras inside so they can spy on you. I grew up in the '80s and still remember how to get around without a phone in my pocket all the time as well, so I've started leaving that at home. Regaining control over my anonymity has been a blessing and I recommend it for all.
No need to leave ur phone. Take it with you in case you need it in an emergency. When you leave home just turn it off
@@jjborelFaraday phone case sounds like what he needs. I don’t even trust a phone turned off. Too many tech people say they are never really off.
@@jjborel I think they still track you when turned off. They still ping cell towers.
@@thedude5241 But they can't get through that tin-foil hat you're wearing.....
@@jjborel even when turned off all modern tech have batteries that still run programs when off like GPS, record audio, and send sound waves out to 3D map the surroundings, think like how sonar maps an area or how bats use echo location to "see".
And for some tech that is not advertised as having a camera they can still have one behind the screen without showing it like tvs, laptops, anything with a screen.
Ford, Stick with building cars. Never mind the radar. Instead build more Mavericks at the affordable price you had when you introduced them.
Just sounds like a police radar built into the vehicle.
Yeah into a police car not one you would buy 😂
@@christrarback9748 yea 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Ford forgot we have privacy rights in America if not leave
@@BryanRichardson-s3v he said cop cars , why do people not listen . You can't go buy a vehicle on the lot that has it 🤣🤣
This reminds me of Sears denying tool warranties back in the late 1970s when they started down the crapper. We all know how that ended.
Disclaimer: Toyota denies warranty claim on a car that head heavy motor mods.
So RAM would rather layoff employees, the people actually working to make them richer, to reduce the trucks produced to slow down the supply of trucks instead of reduce the price of the trucks that would increase sales and keep up with production?
All automakers deny warranty for a burnt down husk. Nothing new. Their reasons are stupid but nobody warrantees an unrepairable total loss.
Warrantees are to repair your vehicle due to workmanship issues, not to absorb the loss of being upside down in an auto loan.
If the fire is a manufacturing or design defect, the proper method for redress is to file a lawsuit, not a warranty claim against the automaker. If you take your insurance company’s payout, you might loose your right to sue.
I was highly unlikely to buy a Toyota, but this plus all the BS Toyota has done has solidified that stance. I will never ever never buy a Toyota. And Dealerships have no way of testing octane thats just BS.
I wanna know who t he hell is paying 50k for a Carolla ?
Apparently at least 2 people. 😂
I also usually create patents for things I don’t actually plan on creating or using
If they’re shotty product isn’t enough to not buy one the auto speeding tickets are
I remember when toyota would overbuild their engines. That is why you would pay a premium for them. Once the tundra hit a million miles, they started to look at where they could cheap out. Hopefully i can make my 19 tundra last close to a million miles, because I don't want a new truck
So how’s this whole automated ticket thing work if I’m driving someone else’s vehicle? This is why you need officers to actually make every stop to issue tickets so that the tickets are actually issued to the right person
Camera speed traps have been used for at least 30 years. They'll pull out and chase you if you exceed the limit by a substantial number. All this tech has been available for many years, nothing new here. Nobody whined when all this tech was patented by the police car accessories manufacturers.
They will identify you with your cell phone data. Trust me they’ve got it figured out and they’re already doing it.
@@jefffreestone8476 lol...no, they send a ticket to the vehicle's registered owner, regardless of who is driving. Just like they have been doing ever since camera-based systems came about.....over 30 years ago!!!
Any manufacturer that’s going to track my speed and then give me a ticket will never get my money. I don’t care if I’m driving a 25-year-old vehicle 25 years from now I will never own anything that takes my rights away to do whatever the heck I want.
In conclusion when they say we’re not going to report your data to the police means we’re not gonna report it right now but they would not have that option if it wasn’t an intention in the future.
I just had a claim filed with Toyota corporate care also. Sadly. They are complete clowns and of no assistance. I was actually blown away on their lack of concern and assistance. They told me they go with what the dealer says and there is no recourse..incredible.
Well, you haven’t told us what your issue was and what happened you’re just talking about not getting help
@sammyjammy6647 I didn't want to get so deep into it but here you go. Let me know your thoughts. And I like to think I have some street smarts..
I went with my daughter to pick up her new camry from DCH Toyota in Torrance, CA. She qualified for the first time buyer $500 rebate because she was working and in school. Easy enough. So we told the finance Mgr. who wrote up the paperwork that we wanted the rebate also. He had been working there for 17 years and told us we handled the rebate online. It sounded off to me but I took his word. When the first payment came due. We asked about the rebate and was told it should of been handled during the paperwork...kind of what I figured but I had no reason to believe the finance Mgr. was lying. But he was for some reason. So I called the general Mgr. Valentine to see what was up. He started off with excuses.. maybe she didn't finance the car..she did. Maybe she wasn't going to school...she was, I have her transcripts. Maybe she wasn't working...she has her pay stubs... Since we were talking on a cell phone. I asked him to send me an email and I would attach all the documents for him to see. He said he would but never did...so now I'm getting tired of the BS so I thought Toyota corporate care would clean this up very easily and filed a case. So Valentine called me back. Gave me more BS about sending me his email. Which there was no electronic receipt that he ever did. So I asked for it one more time so I could send him her forms. He again said he would but also started saying, "you know. This is getting kind of late now.." yep he drug us along for 6 months now..sadly Valentine never followed through again and sent me his email. So I called corporate care back. Explained the situation to the very nice lady and she said she would call the dealer back for me. But first I told her how that he was going to "him and haw" and make up excuses about ever contacting me back or the forms we had ready to go..so she calls and talks to them and tells me, "you were right".. so I thought she was going to escalate it and waited another month..unfortunately no call so I called Toyota care back for the 3rd time and had her pull up my case. She did and said it was closed... and that Valentine told them that I waited too long to contact them..(less than a month) so he was not going to do anything..case closed. The care agent then told me they ALWAYS go with what the dealer says even if they disagree and there is no more recourse available to me..again case closed. Bye. So all this was over a $500 rebate from the factory for my 20 year old daughter. I can't come up with any reason why DCH Toyota would do this over a factory rebate.. I will say the finance Mgr. made some interesting comments when we were making small talk. Let's just say. They made me question him.
So there you go. What's your thoughts? And hopefully this is clear. I didn't proof read it.
I wonder how low Toyota can go.
They won’t go low enough to fix somebody’s car who had it modded.
@@sammyjammy6647what specific modifications made?
Another reason for me never to buy another Japanese car. They send out tattletale data logging packages.
And so does Ford and probably GM with their onstar
@@sammyjammy6647 They don't deny warranty based on it though.
@@peiguy1982 Really? Just because it hasn't been announced yet. Ford was busted this week because they agreed to fix an undrivable car under warranty, but the part was not available for 6 months! They wanted to do nothing for the owner until then. No loaner, no lemon. No carmaker is immune from trying to cheat a buyer.
Incredible film sir Tim
Here’s a comment from someone who used to work for Toyota,
“Was Toyota dealership service manager for over 25 years. There is always the case of customer abuse that can invalidate warranty claim. Over revving engine at hi speeds blows engine, puts hole in block throws oil on hot exhaust potentially causing fire. In this case if you’re recklessly speeding in wrong gear it’s up to discretion of manufacturer to cover repairs. AKA abuse no warranty. VERY unlikelyToyota is having this problem under RPM RED line.Suggest to beg for goodwill assistance from Toyota.”
Hope they do sell GR corolla in Texas. Some roads have a 85mph speed limit. Toyota has lost all credibility and reliability within the last 2 years. More or less this year. Tundra, Tacoma, GR corolla all with catastrophic failures
Sounds like They are just installing moving radar from the factory instead of a third party. Many police vehicles have radar and video already. Just because the vehicle or radar alerts the officer to a speeding motorist, doesn’t mean a generated citation. Would be up to officer to make a stop contact the driver.
the patent is for police cars only
Guys tires on his Toyota car were definitely rated for more than 85 mph. They just dont want another recall right now!
Get a radar detector! I always use a radar detector when I’m driving. You can pick up the cop 8 miles before the cop even sees you.
Lol, people get in and are surprised to see a radar detector like it's something out of the 90's like they don't work any more.
You could just use Waze.
@@piquat1They don't though.
@@ECUCHRIS904 You're exactly what I'm talking about, they work great, mine does anyway. Waze sucks, nobody uses it out here in the sticks.
@@ECUCHRIS904 that too I use
All I can say is that’s to the guy who snaked that GT from under me. I do t have to worry about a catastrophic engine fire that burns it to dust.
That’s a hard no on the automatic ticketing system.
I didn’t know a GR Corolla was a pickup or SUV (talk!)
Oh I was stretching a bit for sure. This story just got to me.
And I am appreciative for the info since I have one.
14:24 WHY WOULD YOU EVER INTENTIONALLY HAVE A GAP IN INSURANCE?!? That’s not getting screwed it’s screwing yourself.
If I were the guy I would, thru my attn, subpoena any and all data transmitted to and from vehicle ID AND vehicle with computer ID, from date of manufacturer to last current date (date of fire). Any instance of variable at or above Toyota threshold of issue I would mark and then contact the insurance company fraud dept.
Who knew What When. Manufacturers will always (right, wrong, etc) try to get out of something but if there is no way for the owner to know something, but the manufacturer did and does, there are lots of issues going forward.
I don't think Toyota intends for high performance cars to actually go fast or off-road vehicles to be actually driven off-road. 🤣
I would think he corollas come with z rated tires being a hot hatch car
Cheaper to just put up cameras 🎥 to give tickets
Vacation face looks a little red😂
Hot shower.
I sense seeing a lot of Lane Keeping assist, Side object detection, and cruise control DTC's in my future from people legit just unplugging all this crap.
NOT ALL CARS are track cars. Track cars are meant to takeing a beating and have better coolers. This is why the RCF is different than track version. The morizo edition corolla GR is a track version car. Even the BRZ is having oil starvation on the track, these are not meant for hard track use
Exactly people are trying to race their cars like it’s NASCAR and then when an issue happens, they want Toyota to honor their warranty for severe abuse
That Stellantis guy has apparently stated on the record that his personal goal is to take the company to zero emissions.
I’m just glad I now know I can get 20% off on one vibrator from Adam&Eve…
Toyota is about to get sued
if these sensors could work in a cop car then why not just put them on every street and they will generate non stop speeding tickets all day every day with no cop car necessary? They will just email you your speeding tickets and tell you the website/app to pay for your tickets.
If the Ford system catches other drivers speeding besides yourself, I could see this as being very good. I live near Dallas Texas and the insanely rude and reckless driving, and excessive speeding has become epidemic. It is so bad, they could probably fund the city thru speeding tickets alone. And we're talking drivers doing 20 to 30 mph over the speed limit as then some. Major accidents now occur on a daily basis, but doesnt seem to get much attention in the news. I try not drive there any more than is absolutely necessary as the experience is nerve racking any more.
I can see this is just another step toward full autonomous transportation where people won't be able too speed because they won't be driving. I think it is really sad that people cannot obey the law and be more courteous because they feel entitled to drive like idiots and speed excessively endangering other people's lives. How boring that day will be when your vehicle does all the driving for you.
Ford has speed limit signs AI. It’s used for Active Cruse Control. I bought my first ford (Maverick) last year. Will Ford be required to disclose the information? The Maverick my be my first and last Ford.
I want to cover those burned corolla as well. Seems odd over a certain speed would cause denied warranty
Moral of the story do not buy anything new
Adam&Eve photo? Wow get it man get it!! 20% off!!
Can you say. FORD BOYCOTT. Ford should stay in there lane and just make cars to sell that they can strap there cop crap to like normal! Getting sick of the police state that this country and the rest of the world is becoming!
Don't drive over 5 miles over speed limit, then you might not get a ticket!!
You have no idea the little tweaks they can make in the data to increase fines by millions.
Examples making a yellow light a few seconds shorter.
Lowering the speed limit by 5 miles an hour on a rural highway.
Don't buy them.
Toyota must have a joe biden type at the helm right now…. All I hear from Toyota is how poor their quality control is
People need to wake up and understand that vehicles, along with other things are collecting your info and sending it back to these companies. For what for purpose though? If you are willing to spend your hard earned money to support these brand and this is how you they repay your loyalty do not waste your time and give them your money. Ford had a few technology on the horizon patten that sounds cool up front but I question their motive. Not a Ford fan anyways or a fan of any company that want to want to do such things to its customers. I do not care for many of the tech in these newer vehicles. Give me windows where I have to roll down manually. No safety connected technology such as blind spot monitoring. It is call pay attention when you are operating your vehicle.
Every company is stealing your data.
Ford should focus on the quality of their cars. Or shut down already
Im gonna get alot of hate for this but I don't care. Where I live, the reckless driving is out of control. They asked us during a safety meeting what is the most dangerous thing we do every day at work? It's 💯 driving at work. People are absolutely insane where I live. Insurance rates are through the roof and so are deadly accidents. It's all from people who have no regard for the law and or people around them.
Toyota is a joke company now. Had two new ones and both have a lot of issues one I dumped other I still have for now. There warranty is a joke in a whole.
next, they will come up with weight scale, for you to pay more fines. Fuqh ford. Am moving on with my work trucks.
The simple solution to apple users that complain about Chevy with their EVs doing Google interface don't buy a Chevy then it's that simple it's funny how apple people complain about this the easiest and honestly the smart thing to do is not buy a Chevy then buy some other vehicle then. I'm glad I got a Google phone so I have no complaining on my end and plus I wouldn't buy a Chevy anyway. Apple users are hilarious I've seen more people who have apple phones with cracked screens than android phones.
Chevrolet is going to lose more customers by doing that. Just go to another company like Toyota instead if they wanna play games.
If you speed well you deserve a ticket because you are breaking the law, you break the law you will get consequences for that. Why is this so like getting people so raddled about is hilarious, seems like the people who are complaining about this are the law breakers, the ones who speed, so I have no issues with this idea, for speeding should be a ticket, no warning, it should be automatically a ticket, obey the speeding laws you have no problem.
You sound fun.
Yes, do as you're told. It's totally normal to think that one adult should be able to tell another what to do.
@@cstgx being a adult means if you break the law like with speeding you get a ticket if you don't like that well then you don't deserve to drive if you can't obey the laws of the road.
@@texandy89 I'm sure you've never broken a law in your entire life.
Disable the hell out of that 🚓 🎟️ system. But i would NOT buy a Ford cause of that system. I like to drive like a 🐇... No 🐢 here! 1 more thing for you to try to justify it in some way is just crazy Tim
