| The remaining legacy, domestic auto manufacturers are just kind of circling the drain. They all have stupid problems and largely seem to have ridden the coat tails of an older generation that vowed to buy American. Anecdotally, but my Ford F-150 has so many software bugs it’s insane. It’s mechanically reliable, but the software is terrible. * backup sensor don’t work about 10% of the time * backup camera won’t engage about 1% of the time * main screen will boot loop a few times before it fully turns on about 5% of the time * heated and cooled seats seem to choose random setting when the car is remote started. * lane centering system will crash if you try to take it through a turn that’s too tight. Have to turn the vehicle off, open the door to fix it. * my trailer system won’t remember custom made trailers. I don’t really have a use for the system, but annoying none the less. * auto power folding mirrors often get confused about their state when shutting down or starting the car up. Annoying, but easily fixed. * my digital instrument panel will occasionally not turn on * my digital instrument panel will occasional forget all of my custom settings. Different problem than above. * Not really a bug, but the car has soooooooooo many popup notifications. There will literally be status messages that are overlaid by an almost identical, but different message. Thank you, F-150, I know that I plugged my cooler into the outlet in the bed. Please stop asking me if I want the generator on. The car is running, I want the generator on. The physical vehicle is rock solid and I’m extremely happy with that. However, I just want to rip out all of the electronics and replace them with the magic that Kia/Hyundai built in their vehicle. I largely get this impression anytime I step into an American vehicle. It feels like it was designed by a committee of out of touch executives. |
