I feel like the bigger question should be why they thought it OK to put the gear indicator and LEDs exactly where most people would put their palms while shifting.

I figured it would be something about making sure your tires are inflated to the correct psi.

I have a feeling their computer now suffers from memory loss as well. Courtesy of the cyclists “not” relative.

Since the whole “mechanism” is electronic now, they could have done loads and loads of human interaction research and come up with the absolute best way to implement a new shifter design.

When I was 9 years old, my dad bought a used pretty-darn-rare ‘72 Corvette (LT-1 engine with factory air conditioning....something like 300 ever made). He drove it for a year or so, then decided to restore it. Not just a “make it look better” restoration....I’m talking frame on one side of the garage and body on the…

I sure do use my parking brake and I dont even have any manual transmission cars.

Is that the same stalk shifter that was eyed as a possible reason for the woman who got her Mercedes stuck on a train track which turned into a pretty large (and deadly) train wreck?

Actual Honda dealership changed the oil in a family members Civic, which they had bought at said actual Honda dealership.

This isnt the first “issue” they’ve had with DAS. I remember when the Q50 first came out there were a bunch of DAS failures in extremely cold weather. And the failures werent as nearly as innocuous as this one....failing WHILE DRIVING and then a driver immediately needed to adjust to the very large amount of effort…

One way to prevent lack of lubruication at startup: Add the oil directly through the valley. Nice.

It depends how many gears your transmission has

In my spare time I look around for nice replacement vehicles, the F150 being one of them. The new 2.7L twin turbo caught my eye because of the graphite injected block, etc.

From about 20-30 seconds when he looks “stuck” on the sidewalk in front of the cop car, is the drivers window open? Couldnt they tase him at that point?

A ClubLexus post suggested just pulling the fuses for the radio/nav system. Even easier than disconnecting the battery completely

8 cars, wife, ample income, “those matters.”

And radio.

Really, how many times did I just read “but that they have nothing to do with the root cause of the air bag ruptures”.

First new car I ever bought was a factory order. Fought the dealer for a week about their $200.00 “advertising fee”. Last I checked, advertising is the cost of being a business, not of being a customer. I caved in the end but it always irked me.

True. All of the Japanese automakers seem to have brought their quality before quantity culture to the US. I have seen a few things done better on cars built in Japan vs those built in the US from the same manufacturer, but for the most part no matter WHERE a Japanese brand car is built it always seems to hold up…
