I mean, every car I’ve ever owned has had a handful of recalls. I’m no Elon stan, but this doesn’t seem like news?
Huh. I saw this exact phrasing on a similar post on hacker News. I bet I could check Reddit and see the same…
The closest anyone in my family has come to owning a car that’s been recalled is when I found out that a newer variant of my own car had been recalled 5 years ago and even then it was only in Australian models, maybe we all just got cars from good manufacturers ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I’ve had a Mercury, a Ford, and a Toyota. All three have had at least one recall.
The Toyota’s was a pretty minor one, tbf, and I suppose that Ford/Mercury could be argued to be a crappy manufacturer. I wouldn’t buy from them again anyway.
Maybe I’ve just had super crappy luck, but none were crappy cars on the surface. All 2-3 yrs old on purchase.
Like, out of curiosity, what car do you drive that doesn’t have any recalls? I’d be curious to know what it is.
I’ve got a second generation Kia Picanto, turns out there was actually a recall for 7k of them before mine was even built (probably why I didn’t know it was recalled) but that was the only one since they started making them in 2012.
The other generations have recalls too but honestly apart from the first generation they’ve all been so minor that I’m surprised it needed a recall, first gen had a fuel leak, second gen had a weak handbrake, third gen had cracked hoses and the 4th gen was missing a speaker that went off when your fog lamp is on.
Yes, recalls happen, but no major car company except Tesl would have shipped that pedal design with an obvious flaw.
I mean, except for maybe Toyota, one of the biggest and most respected car manufacturers currently in operation?

Hahahahaha
They should recall it for a faulty design.
(Nelson voice) “Ha ha!”
