Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc.

Can you please just build dumb cars again and build them to last? I don’t need a vehicle that is smarter than the driver. Okay? Let me figure out where I am and where I’m going. I got this. No data collecting and no sending that data to anyone please. It ain’t nobody’s business how I drive or where I’m going. I don’t need a car that brakes for me. It’s dangerous and doesn’t work like intended. Lose all the sensors please. It’s ridiculous that consumers should have to pay more than 10,000 or 25,000 dollars for a new car or truck. You spend all this money trying to make your vehicles smarter and supposedly safer while you use cheap plastic and glue to hold them together and then you have recalls forever because they fall apart around us and barely last until the warranty expires. What do you know 3000 miles past the 100,000 mile warranty and the transmission goes out. 6,000 dollars for a new transmission and the dealership transmission tech doesn’t even know how to diagnose whats wrong. Oh it needs a new transmission of course! High time you get your act together fellas.

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????
