With their upcoming abbreviated product line, it is really important for Ford to get this one done correctly.

Might as well toss Toyota into the list.

> An engine wire harness connected to the power control unit is at risk of wear over time, potentially leading to a short circuit or even a fire, the company said in a statement. The recall affects all the current generation Prius models.

It’s great that these companies are moving to repair safety problems without being forced to by NHTSA.

Too much technology. Too many explosive propellants in cars today. Nice try with the air bags but I don’t believe we need those malfunctions either. Stability control was needed on my 14 Caravan due to the worthless original tires. They will be gone on October 15th when I put the winter tires on and pay the disposal fee. With the right tires I probably won’t need any more tech.
