We know that statistically most of us are average. Yet nearly every poster here believes that they are a far above average driver. Which is statistical nonsense. Cognitive dissonance, at work.
Maybe I misunderstood the problem with Takata air bags. What I read claimed the problem was the explosive used by Takata was being contaminated with moisture causing too violent of an explosion. But who really knows you can read anything on the internet and some of it is even true.

With the FiTech eight-barrel system installed, the engine fired right away with some basic tuning parameters downloaded. You may notice that the vacuum advance canister is blocked in this photo. Later, it was connected to ported vacuum on the front throttle body to allow vacuum advance.
Diesel engines are mainly consumed in Europe and China countries. The two areas occupy about 86% market share. Besides, North America is also an important market of diesel engine.

In old-school driving, PJ, pumping didn’t mean, “stab the brake as rapidly as possible,” it meant to “threshold brake until you feel the traction let go, release the brakes and do it again–as often as necessary to come to a safe stop.” Granted, some people could never learn that lesson but some could and did. You also learned more about steering and throttle to try and maintain control, even in a slide, since most cars were RWD at the time.
People resent being told by a nanny government that they can’t buy a cheap car. In practical terms too, it’s unnecessary to mandate these features which insurance companies, economies of scale, and free markets would make ubiquitous anyway.
" 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
A: Frequently conflate poor driving habits with safety assistance systems. B: Refuse to acknowledge that drivers who engage in bad behavior will do so regardless of the available safety assistance systems. C: Mistakenly believe that safety assistance systems somehow absolve folks of the responsibility and consequences of their own actions.
My wife drives a sedan, I own or have owned several SUVs and trucks, 1990s vintage ones, some of which didn’t even have airbags. I obviously am not prioritizing the safety aspect in my own vehicle buying decisions, I like BOF trucks and SUVs for other reasons.
