I know this doesn't affect most of us but I wanted to make sure everyone saw it, just in case a friend of family member drives one. Ford is recalling over a million F-150s because the driver's side airbags are spontaneously deploying. 0_0

O.O

That's no good! Think about just driving down the road, and the airbag just exploding in your face!

EDIT: Just remembered, my dad drives an FX F150. I'll be sure to let him know about this. Thanks, Bex!

I can imagine passing one, looking over and seeing a white puffy cloud fill up the driver's side window. Even better to see a cell phone go flying.

Sure would suck if he was traveling beside you at 85 mph on the I10 and swerves into your lane when it deploys. :ohno:

Yeah, that though crossed my mind, but in my brain-hypothetical, I was laughing so hard at the Ford that I floored it. No worries!

That would suck, but I understand most have been deploying as you first turn the key to start it, kinda like getting a big Ford F150 good morning kiss.

This would really suck if you were taking a drink of coffee at that moment

This is why I prefer the Ferd f-teen thousand.
