Ford, the "Better Idea" company, has a recall, that will NOT fix your vehicle..!!

I have been lucky with both my Chrysler products, all the recalls have been pretty insignificant.
The 2011 3.6 engines were assembled in Mexico and many had to be replaced ,because parts were not cleaned properly before assembly.
They at least followed through quickly on repairs, except for the air bags made in japan.

I drive a ‘77 F250 and a ‘15 Tacoma. Both 4x4
The new 2024 Tacoma with a 4 cyl turbo does not interest me at all.
These high spun small engines will wear out soon and have more issues in the long haul on a truck. Especially if you tow like I do

Not to worry, all the high tech electronic crap will croak and leave them stranded before the engine wears out🙄. I suspect that 30 years downrange the old cars from the ‘50’s and 60’s will still be around and the ones fron the 10’s and 20’s will have been scrapped because some cigarette size box conked out and no replacement “module” could be found…

Talking about the turbo 4's wearing quicker , Ford had a 3.0L V-6 in 2012 that put out 240 horsepower. In 2013 they came out with the eco-boost engines in 1.6 L @ 178 horsepower and the 2.0L @ 240 horsepower.

Ford themselves said the 3.0 V-6 could be expected to give 300,000 miles but with the eco-boost engines , you could only expect 200,000 miles. Common sense will tell any hot rodder , the more power you pull from the same size engine , the less length of time it will hold together. I don't care if we are talking 4 Cyls. or mega size V-8's.

I think that only applies to engines where the turbo is an add on. It's not impossible to engineer a package from scratch.
 
From the MSN link: "Dealers will install a tube to let gasoline flow away from
hot surfaces to the ground below the vehicle."

I suppose the EPA is OK with this dumping of raw gas as it is not constant.
Yet it is quite frustrating to hear this when trying to figure out what part
is causing a fuel vapor leak, P0442 for example, that triggers the check engine light.
And if you are in a location that requires a Echeck pass to get a plate, very frustrating.
Usually it de-evolves into a part replacement palooza. Very expensive if you have
a dealer playing the replacement game.


"remember when they blamed firestone (I believe it was them) for all of the blowouts/tire failures
that caused deaths and trips to the er. well it wasn't the tire mfgr, it was ford lowering tire
pressure AND putting a sticker on the door post way lower pressure wise than the mfgr."

The OEMs buy each others vehicles to test and examine. What I have never seen mentioned
is that Explorer design, when loaded to the Gross Vehicle Weight, the front suspension went
into oversteer.

and i'm certain, people living in HOA's, will be paying fines for "dumping" a carcinogenic onto the ground.
