The class action lawsuit alleges that 2013-2018 Ford F-150 Hitachi master cylinders caused brake fluid leaks. November 6, 2024 — The Ford F-150 brake master cylinder class action lawsuit ended six years after the lawsuit began when the plaintiffs dropped the lawsuit. The Ford F-150 lawsuit alleges that the 2013-2018 trucks are defective due to a Hitachi brake master cylinder. The plaintiffs allege that Ford equipped its F-150 trucks with brake master cylinders that contained seals that leaked brake fluid into the brake booster.

In 2019, many claims were dismissed and class-action lawsuits quickly floundered, but a judge said the plaintiffs could change and refile the brake master cylinder lawsuit.

Modern automatic emergency braking systems are light years away
All 2024 models can avoid a collision at 35 mph, while older models have a 67 percent chance of crashing October 24, 2024 12:39 AAA testing found that automatic emergency braking systems have improved significantly over the past seven years. All 2024 models were able to successfully avoid a collision at 35 mph, compared with just 33 percent for older models. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will require vehicles to be equipped with automatic emergency braking systems by the end of 2029 to avoid collisions at speeds of 62 mph. Automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems were introduced more than two decades ago, but new testing shows that modern systems are far more capable than their predecessors.

The results speak for themselves, with every 2024 model tested by AAA successfully avoiding collisions at speeds up to 35 mph (56 km/h). For 2017…

Massachusetts DMV reverses ban on light vehicles after backlash
The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles reversed its previous decision regarding light vehicles. The move also clears up confusion about what is and is not legal to own and register in the state. Light-duty vehicle advocates still hope the bill will pass so that the DMV can’t overrule federal authority. A few months ago, the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles decided to no longer allow owners of light vehicles to register their vehicles, arguing that the cars did not meet federal safety standards and were dangerous for public roads. It then began refusing to register any imported cars, including full-size models such as the Nissan Skyline and BMW 5 Series. However, today it reversed that stance. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); It's unclear why the Massachusetts DMV initiated this fight, but the problem is obvious.

Hyundai Sonata recalled for flashing brake lights
Hyundai is recalling 38,000 Sonatas because their brake lights flash when driven above 30 mph. August 11, 2024 — Hyundai is recalling 2024 Sonata vehicles because a software error could cause the brake lights to flash. More than 38,300 Sonatas are affected.

Not only would this cause confusion for drivers driving behind the Hyundai Sonata, but flashing brake lights are also a violation of federal safety standards. Hyundai launched an investigation into the flashing brake light issue in June after reports emerged about 2024 Sonatas in the U.S. In July, engineers discovered that rear brake light software designed for certain foreign markets was incorrectly applied to U.S.-spec vehicles. To date, Hyundai is not aware of any accidents, injuries or incidents related to flashing…
Recall: Fiat 500 tire pressure monitoring system has problems
The Fiat 500 tyre pressure monitoring system warning light may be malfunctioning. June 29, 2024 — A Fiat 500 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) issue has led to the recall of more than 11,600 vehicles equipped with TPMS warning lights that may not activate properly.

Chrysler is recalling certain Fiat 500 vehicles from the 2014 to 2019 model years that require a visit to a dealer to have the tire pressure monitoring system electronic control unit module reprogrammed. "If the vehicle's TPMS sensor values are programmed incorrectly, the warning indicator may not illuminate until the tire pressure drops 1 to 2 PSI below the minimum starting pressure requirement. One configuration placard shows the tire pressure at 38 PSI, so the low tire pressure indicator should illuminate when the tire pressure drops to 28.5 PSI (a 25% pressure drop), but may not illuminate until the pressure…
