i’m not even going to say anything here………… other will say it

Just what Ford needed for it’s most profitable car… (yes, I said CAR)

Only 65,000 away from half a million points. Not too bad.

this will really hurt ford- and one of america’s greatest cars

Come on it software, I am sure it doesn’t even take 10 minutes to flash. If you are in a big enough accident for the bag to deploy you have bigger problem than the bag deploying with more force than set by NHTS. At least it deploy.

would everyone just stop bitching because if it was toyota they would blame their suppliers and this is my first comment

maybe toyota hacked into fords data base and screwed with the software, oooooooooooooooooooo those japs are sneaky ninjas

I often go off with more force than required.

K.I.T.T. too? oh no!

Some of your guys’ comments are retarded.

bigp: Shut up. Do not bring Toyota into this. It’s so sophmoric when people bring up Toyota in domestic recall threads. No one can focus on the fact that FORD, yes that’s it, FORD, a domestic manufacturer, has a huge recall of its most popular vehicle. That is a problem. Deal with it. Stop trying to shift focus on the imports, that’s TOTALLY UNRELATED.

As for this, Ford is shooting itself in the foot here, too bad really, cause the Mustang is a good car.

there should be some Ford engineers looking for new jobs.

LamwhoreghiniZ, the facts are this, when Yota has a recall its twisted in so many ways that the customers feel like the’re burdening Yota with the problem, when any of the big 2.5 have a recall its on the cover of evey newspaper, pending lawsuits, fatalities and rumors of bankruptcy.

That new Knight Rider movie/show sucked.

It was boring, infantile, and stupid. What a total disservice to the original, which was such a great show in its day.

The only people who I hear give positive reviews of it are idiotic Mustang fanboys, whose reviews comprise entirely of praising the fact a Mustang was chosen for KITT.

Which I think was a horrible choice to begin with. The image of the Mustang doesn’t fit that of KITT’s, in my humble opinion …
… which just falls in line with all the horrible choices and decisions they made for that pilot.

I seen no customer complaints in the article.

Just another recall…

I think something that a lot of people are over viewing when they complain about cars becoming more expensive is all the safety development they have to go through, and will have to go through in the next 10-15 years. That’s something governments really misunderstand. It’s not (usually) an unsafe car that creates an accident, but an unsafe driver. Not saying that we shouldn’t have airbags, but maybe people should also watch where their going when they walk in front of your car? I’m sure most of you know what I’m talking about, especially in Metro areas.

*but it happens especially often in Metro areas. People are just looking to sue.

Not a big Ford fan, but this recall over a minor flaw is no reason to bash Ford. Wait for their next insipid new offering to bash them.

what a surprise..ford still = p.o.s.

This is no big deal. I work in the computer industry and see bugs all the time – ever had MS Windows crash on you? For will survive this.

I’m more worried about JC going off too early – sorry dude but that’s a common problem – 2 min max for me.

correction … Ford will survive this.

Recall will not kill Ford, this or another recall. The fact that they spend more money then they can possibly bring in from building and selling cars will kill Ford.

Great news for Ford dealers. All customers will get a a free car wash and look at new Ford’s for sale while getting the recall preformed. Maybe eat some free cookies while they are there, as well as possibly trading it for something different. Got to love all of the recalls…its good business. Keep up the good work LLN!! We are now all safer for this important recall info…woopee.

Axehead you’re so right. If cars were like most computers you’d be risking death every time you pulled out of the driveway. And thanks for your concern. At my age the old supplemental restraint system ain’t what it used to be.

Name a vehicle that isn’t recalled. YOU CAN’T!

Its not a big deal Ford will take care of it that’s all. Stop it with the whining ok.

Ford, recall King of 2008?

eriNY….. very funny!!! Hey Michael Night Jr. you my want to call your daddy to let him know that your going to need a ride to the Ford dealer in the morning, and to bring the the real KITT.

People, this is a SOFTWARE glitch! The very computer and router you use to access the internet need firmware upgrade regularly, so I guess you should junk them now and go back and live in caves!

This is not the same as some fuel line breaking and causing engine fires! It’s not mechanical in nature. It doesn’t affect drivability. Heck when Ford starts its own version of OnStar, it will just download the software automatically. So go and make a big deal out of a non-issue because it’s always easier to complain than complement, especially when it comes to Ford for some of you.

richt62167… His father is busy eating burgers right now ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH3JAp7vMuo ), and he also lost his watch so he can’t call the real KITT

This is why I wear a helmet.

Sharpie that was one of the most objective level-headed comments I think I’ve ever read on this site, there’s really no need to say anything more on the subject.

bigp: d@mn right. This is nothing more than a simple software glitch which they already have a fix for, there’s absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

eriNY

LMAO!!! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeez maybe he can call his Mommy then. Besides she probably got the watch in the divorce. Lucky Bitch

not surprised.

Ford use computers in their cars wow… id trade it for some handling improvements any day… efi becomes less important when your under-steering in to a ditch, hedge (do u get those in the us?) or tree.

^^^ NEEDS A JOB!

G: I liked the movie, but almost gave upon it when it appeared the Knight Rider was gay.

Feel free to watch “supernanny”or whatever floats your boat.
