This is a great example, but unfortunately in most cases Ford does not step like this. I'm sure they were kissing his feet to prevent a major lawsuit especially because it is a safety recall that could be deadly, and he has full video footage of the entire thing. Most times Ford tells people they are sol or tries to low-ball them.
I worked in quality testing for the supplier that built the lightning for this vehicle and what people don’t understand is that GM had a good reason to request NHTSA to grant an exemption for this FMVSS violation. Please let me explain: All Headlamps have to meet a glare requirement for its low beam function, that requirement is a measured location of the beam projection from the point of view of the lamp from 10 degrees down to 90 degrees down and from 90 degrees left to 90 degrees right. After testing a large percentage of these lamps in question all were consistently found to be out of spec at the same general location: between 85-90 down and around 70-80 degrees left (all from the point of view of the lamp). So if you’re not a low flying aircraft, or going down a near 90 degree hill YOU WILL NOT BE BLINDED by this issue.
Ever car manufacture produces the occasional lemon. My experience with a Ford ensures I will never buy another one. I am now on my second Genesis, previously a G80 and currently a G70 3.3 twin turbo. My wife also had a G80, now drives a Hyundai Kona. My two kids are both on their second set of Hyundais. The previous two Genesis models went over 100K without major service. None of the Hyundai's have ever required anything other than standard maintenance. Your mileage may vary.
Reminds me of when my friend took his Benz to the dealership for a Service A. They overfilled the engine by a lot and spilled oil in the engine bay and didn't clean it up. When he was driving home the oil overfill warning came on and the car started smoking from under the hood because now that spilled oil was burning up. He got worried and decided to have it towed back to the dealership where they kept the car for 2 days before doing anything to it because they were busy. They drained siphoned out whatever amount of oil needed to adjust the level and tried to charge him for an engine detail service. He had to get rather loud with them to make them realize that they were the ones who spilled all that oil and finally they did it at no charge. All that nonsense and the service A was $500.
I recently bought a Toyota. It comes with two years of "Toyota Care" with free oil changes, tire rotation and multi point inspections. No thanks, I will do it myself. I will use OEM Toyota filters and the mobile 1 ow-8 that they require. I will also keep all the receipts in case of any warranty concerns
hold on i got a new 135,000 dollar Mercedes Benz E63 AMGs long story short it needed the rear diff oil needed changing i left the cam on and so i looked the car gets on the lift and the mechanic asked the other guy next to him HOW to change the Diff fluid ?????? the guy said look it up on line !!!! WTF im never going back to dealership with kids working on my Dream car im still in shock and so disappointed in this Brand and its employees .....
This is exactly what happened to me. The dealer overfilled my Genesis 3.8 sedan by 1 qt. I insisted they check the oil in my presence after the oil change was done. They agreed and it was overfilled. Back in the shop. When it came out, the oil was again overfilled. They insisted The correct amount of oil was added, despite it being 1 qt up the stick. I took it home and siphoned out 1 qt. Next time this happens I will not be so meek. I will insist it goes back in the shop, over and over if need be, to get the level right.
Stop buying these fucking cars... please! They are so goddamn expensive to fix, the parts are so goddamn hard to find and I'm tired of explaining this to my customers. Every time a genesis comes into my shop for anything other than an oil change I have to warn them it's probably going to be here for a long long time.
Not true at all, I've had a Genesis for 6 years. I've replaced and odd ball part only once. The drivers seat control. Cost was $35 and it arrived at parts counter in 3 days. AND...If it was an emergency, they will rush order and you get it the next day. THe difficulty you are describing is many dealerships have sloppy mechanics. You have to check their work, else they will screw up your car.
@Hemond1 a bent lower control arm that is on back order with no ETA, and a price tag over over a grand is not because of a "sloppy mechanic." I'm glad you haven't had any issues with your expensive Hyundai, but a lot of people do. I've been working in the auto repair field for 20 years now. I don't see issues with parts availability like this on ANY other car.
@@Drilling249 Ebay has loads of lower control arms for various Genesis ranging from $89 to $150 . Shipping in 2 to 4 days. Most ship free. This is a cheap, easy and simple repair. No need to put vehicle out of service for more than a couple of days at most.
It is no more a glorified hyundai than a Lexus is a glorified Toyota or a Mercedes is a glorified truck and van maker. Genesis cars are fantastic to drive. The fit and finish is on par with Lexus if not better and their technology application is almost a generation ahead of Lexus. It is just their dealer network needs a lot of work but this not the case outside the US.
@@alib8396 You just dont know the history. Daimler Benz started in 1887, 9 years before Ford built his first vehicle in 1896. Benz built cars for years before making their first truck, so they were not primarily a truck company. That started just before the second World War. They, like Ford were pioneers and innovators. Toyota (originally Toyoda, the founders name) began in the 1930s, and while they built primitive vehicles well into the 1970s they were well designed, well engineered and filled a niche, (competing with the VW beetle) that being vehicles that were economical to operate if not stylish and powerful. Only in the 1990s, when they introduced what was a well optioned Camry (the first Lexus, sold only in the North American market) did they enter the upscale market. Now for Hyundai...Not introduced until the mid 1980s, their first car sold in the U.S., the Excel, was a reliability disaster. Its powertrain was sourced from Mitsubishi, infamous for building the worst of Japanese vehicles (including their aircraft, the Zero fighter which were destroyed by the Grumman F6F Hellcat in an 18/1 ratio) Most Excels were off the road within 3 years after they were first sold. Fast forward a few years. Hyundai was forced to offer a 10 year 100,000 mile non transferable warranty because no one would by their mechanical disasters. Nevertheless, people foolish enough to buy Hyundais experienced an epidemic of engine failures, traced to defects which the factory knew about, bud did nothing about Hyundai lost a class action lawsuit costing them hundreds of millions of dollars. They also had defective fuel fittings leading to many cases of spontaneous vehicle combustion. Their "track record" is abominable THAT is the company that builds Genesis scrap. Anyone can make body panels align and fill a car with useless and failure prone electronic toys. Youre trying to tell someone who has repaired vehicles professionally for 52 years how "good" obvious junk is. Not an intelligent idea.
Lmao, Hyundai \Genesis is the most incompetent network I experienced next to Chrysler.....i sold my G80 and im fully committed to Toyota now. Do not buy this garbage it will be your headache.
@@shadf7902 my engine blew up, I had fight the stupid dealer to fix under EXTRA extended warranty...the job took 6 months, and the repair was pure shit. Never again.
Im not fond of them except the money I make repairing them. I will never own a Toyota or Lexus for a personal vehicle unless its an 80s truck with a 22RE engine.
@@Illair_V Out of the 2 I'd pick Cadillac. I've seen a mercedes lose 30k in a year. And they make them even cheaper than cadillacs lately from videos I've seen.
Meh just so you know, I bought mostly all other AC at launch and I am dodging this piece of garbage. I was looking forward to an authentic Japanese AC game and I am not into the mess they created to pander to 0.0001% of the population. I wouldnt even pirate it. The game is basically an insult to your intelligence.
Totally betrayed the Japanese. Yasuke is an interesting story but should defo have been a side character or an add on mission. Whatever country the game is in, those inhabitants should represent. Black flag being the exception since most pirates were European (although they did represent Black pirates with Adewale and the Maroons story). Ubisoft being real dicks with the not owning games thing. Assholes.
I can see the open world being like Valhalla large and empty. I doubt the learnt that mirage sold better than they thought it would because it returned to being like the good AC’s. It is sad that people don’t care about all the BS Ubisoft is doing
My XBOX series X is collecting DUST! Yet I noticed it has better graphics than My Ps5, I never liked XBOX controllers 😂 cyberpunk & hell blade look amazing on XBOX, I use Ps5 for My fighting & shooters
lol that price is ridiculous, for the amount quoted you could put a built engine in a Subaru that makes 800-1000hp including supporting mods. There was a dude that needed to replace his hell cat engine and trans that was 30k. A hand built vodoo engine for the gt350 will run you around 22-23k installed. A brand new supercharged raptor r 750 hp engine will run you 27k. What kind of crack is Toyota smoking that they think their intercooler is 3k and their turbo is 5k.
