2018-2022 ford safety recall reveals that your truck's transmission was secretly practicing self-driving, but only in park
DETROIT, MI — Ford owners of 2018-2022 models are discovering that their vehicles' sudden involuntary rolling into trees wasn't a glitch — it was a feature. The latest 2018-2022 ford safety recall, affecting nearly 2 million trucks, addresses a transmission issue that causes cars to spontaneously shift into neutral, then roll away as if they're auditioning for a role in "Christine." Meme historians are having a field day, noting that the irony is thicker than a V8 engine block: Ford spent years advertising "Built Ford Tough," only to discover the vehicle was too tough for its own parking brake. The recall, which ostensibly fixes a bushing that can detach, has spawned a thousand jokes about how your Ford now has a better chance of exploring the neighborhood on its own than you do of finding a dry patch of pavement without a recall notice. In a statement, Ford assured owners that the fix is free and clear, just like the path your car is about to take down your driveway.
