The Ford giveth, and the Ford taketh away.

I 100% agree and I've never known or driven cars that weren't full of computers doing everything.

However - (when they actually work) they are hugely more fuel efficient (and powerful) than they used to be. Yes one can't so easily service an engine, especially service it oneself, but it's far less likely to break down and is much more efficient meantime. We can't have everything I suppose :(

I agree! Now they have 50,000 buttons in the car you have to figure out what they're all for before you can even put the windshield wipers on. And heaven help us find the defroster in the dead of winter. Some have engines in the trunk! You don't know if you're coming or going anymore. And God forbid if you get behind one. It could give anyone a heart attack.

Exactly. My Grand Cherokee is in the shop for 2 recalls, needs a new battery, and the def filter says 100% full. I have a bunch of stuff to sell that is unused and I'm gonna either trade or come up with the money for something old like a box chevy.

@minoltaguy
I think the third recall they should have to buy it back from you.

I had the opportunity to drive a Chev rental truck on an 18 hour trip. I had a couple of other drivers with me so we took turns driving the 2025 pickup. At the end of the trip all the drivers agreed. We would not be buying one of these trucks should the opportunity arise. Way too complicated to even turn on the radio. I think it had radio. I couldn't find it so????
I agree 100%. We don't need all those bells and whistles! In the old days you could just lift the hood and work on the car but now you've got a computer system to deal with. It's ridiculous. The worst part is the parts cost of Fortune!

I completely agree with you! 😠
The rams and the jeeps with the recalls are hell.

@MyMonstersAreReal An aquauntance of mine had so many troubles with their Jeep that they hired a lawyer and are trying to get their money back under the Lemon Law. They bought it new. That first year it only spent 45 days on the road.

Yeah...let's go retro. No more stupid computers inside the cars. Let the mechanics fix the mechanical issues without all that interference!

@4meAndyou Exactly! Thank you!
