2018-2022 Ford Safety Recall Sparks Questions: Who Profits From the Sudden Transmission Failure Alert?
Industry watchdogs are raising eyebrows over a massive 2018-2022 ford safety recall that quietly expanded this week, covering over 100,000 trucks and SUVs for sudden power loss—but critics note the fix uses a cheap, patented sensor that only Ford sells. While the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists the issue as a "dangerous rollaway risk," former engineers suggest the flawed part may have been known for years, with replacement costs soaring 300% since the original model year. Who stands to gain the most? Shareholders and repair chain partners, while drivers foot the bill.
