Nissan 370Z CSC Failure Lawsuit Aims For Class Certification | Clutch Master Cylinder

I will add a reason I and many other people find to be equally important. I LOVE driving and take pride in having honed my skills over many decades. I find things like lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, front and side cameras to be FAR more distracting than helpful. I almost never use cruise control, even on long trips, because I find it makes me lazier in perceiving the traffic flow and what I might need to adjust for in the flow ahead of me – so I surely do not want adaptive cruise control.

Twenty-five years ago, we adjusted valves, points, spark plugs, brakes, belts, clutches, etc. I wouldn’t say that we have stopped adjusting components on cars completely, but the modernization of automotive components has greatly decreased the need for manual adjustment.

The ZR2 owner told me he had installed LED headlights, LED fog-lights, a winch connected directly to battery power, and an electric lock for the tailgate.

We spent two days in the Algarve region of Portugal, romping around the Wim Motors Academy off-road compound, taking to trails in the lush farmlands, and hitting the canyons to put the Hinckley factory’s lofty claims to the test.

About Diesel Engines for Non-Automotive Applications : Diesel engines offer better operational performance, which makes them a preferred choice over petrol engines.

Honestly I think MORE intrusive is probably better for most drivers. A very talkative friend of mine bought a new Subaru Forester with all the safety nannies. We took a road trip and she was constantly talking with her hands, looking over at her audience for validation, etc. The nannies were beeping at her every few seconds to stay in her goddamned lane and she seemed utterly oblivious to them. Don’t beep, car, just keep the damn vehicle between the lines.

The water pump leaking is just another problem that the Chevy Silverado 1500 has had. The water pump is a very important part for your car and helps pumps coolant through your engine and back to the radiator to be cooled off. Signs of a leak can be fluid under your car dripping while on or off, overheating and your car smoking from under the hood. If the water pump fails it can also lead to melting nearby plastic components causing a fire or causing your engine to completely fail. According to Cars, Chevy will fix this issue for Silverado owners.

" Truck is a 2014 F150 5.0V8 with ~50K miles. While vehicle was in motion at highway speeds ~65mph, brake fluid warning light comes on. I test the brakes by gently depressing the brake pedal, but pedal continues with no resistance nearly to the floor. Brakes are almost completely ineffective and would have zero ability to stop the vehicle in an emergency situation. I throw on the hazard lights and cut to the shoulder and have to manually downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle. Situation could have been much more serious as I was in moderate traffic. I popped the hood and immediately notice the brake master cylinder reservoir is completely empty. After inspecting all brake lines front and rear and checking all bleeder screws are closed, no visual leaks are present. As I was 100 miles from home driving my wife and child home at night, I had someone bring me some brake fluid to top off the reservoir. After filling the reservoir and bleeding the front brakes, brakes seem to stay tight. I drive ~10 miles and the brake fluid warning light flashes again at highway speeds. Pull over again and notice zero fluid again. Visually inspect all lines, master cylinder, booster, etc., no evidence of leaks. Top off the reservoir to limp the vehicle to a safer location. Notice the engine starting to sputter and fluid completely gone in another ~10 miles. Obviously the master cylinder has failed and is leaking into the booster which is affecting the vacuum in the booster. These are the exact same symptons listed in safety recall notice 16S24/ NHTSA recall 16V-345, however this does not cover 5.0 V8 motors only 3.5L ecoboost despite the same brake components being used. So far over a quarter million trucks have been recalled. Apparently newer 2015/16 F150S are experiencing similiar issues as well evidence of a large defect in newer model F150 braking components." – Oct 7, 2017

That’s good news because the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 have been bringing the goods in the truck market, and the Big 3 are largely leaving  Japanese full-size trucks in the dust. We didn’t get pricing, Environmental Protection Agency information, or towing capacities either this week — so let’s talk engines.

Toyota Prius 2001-’03Front: Cartridge-typeRear: Hub unit with tone ring on the rear of the unit. Magnetic wheel speed sensor mounts behind the unitTips: Do not allow any foreign matter to stick to the sensor rotor. Pull out the ABS speed sensor straight, in order not to damage the sensor rotor. If damage has occurred to the rear sensor rotor on the hub unit, replace the hub. Do not scratch the contacting surface of the axle hub or cartridge bearing and speed sensor.

But remember, it’s just a patent. It may not go anywhere. For now, it’s an interesting piece of tech and I’m eager to see if GM does anything with it.
