The info is always in the news for both manufacturer's mandated recalls and also for other manufacturer's recalls etc also. However, as usual, one brand's Fanboys only post anything that occurs which can be thought of as negative about another vehicle brand but never the same info about their Fanboy brand. Must be that the actual truth and facts hurts them to the bone! Some people are beyond help and being truthful and fair minded, and it shows so vividly over and over and has for eons...

Not comprehensive (it's possible I've missed topics that didn't include "recall" in them, or didn't get mean), and doesn't include all the bashing that has infected many, many other threads. But it seems there are TWO primary players, mostly evenly matched.

So maybe (myself included), we can all just agree to get along?

LOL
He'll find a way around fact's. That's what myopic people do :B

Yes 202,000 fords recalled for transmission related component issues. However, 811,000 FCA Chrysler vehicles just recalled for transmission related component issues. DUH! The real topper and perspective is that Ford sells and has sold many times the number of vehicles in the models the small recall number occurred in so it's very miniscule in relation to FCA Chrysler's huge percentage of vehicle sold in the mandated recalls.

Cmon man, you can't support the bluelaid drinkers while bashing the ram mafia if you own a jimmy! That's called vehicular racism! Get with the program bro! Lol

:) Hi, there are hints of a possible master cylinder recall for my 2014 F-150; I will be watching this forum closely for the earliest notification. :B

Troy the 2012 Charger I drove for two weeks had the T shifter and I didn't have any issues with it. The funny part about this is the fact that Audi uses the same type shifter and their customers don't seem to have a problem.

Must be Audi customers are smarter and understand how to read a display. My wife should sue FCA she got out of her 300 left it in drive and the car ran into the garage door. Thank goodness my truck was inside and the door hit the hitch and stopped the car. BTW her 300 has the rotary knob and she takes full responsibility for NOT shifting the car into PARK!

I will say it does take some getting use to not having a shifter but the learning curve for semi intelligent people is very short! :W

I am going to have to say I am sorry. I did see the recall for FCA vehicles, but only briefly glimpsed at the article and figured it had to do with the dial knob shift selector. I see now that it is totally different. My bad. :(

Very dangerous around here! ;)

I lumped you in with nutz just because your post was near his. He can't help but bust on FCA brands even when they are not part of the topic. With that in mind, I wish I would have pointed out in my first post that I would be proud to own any of the new pickups. I think Ford and GM/Chevy half tons are the cream of the crop right now.

Happy Camping!

GM stands in a neutral corner! Which seems to be a no brainer.

I would say there is one poster here that creates most of the Ford/RAM back and forth, and as your numbers show Ford owners have a difficult time omitting any issues.

That dial selector for the transmission was a bad idea from the start. But, give an idiot a rubber mallet, and I bet he'd find a way to break and anvil.

Too bad it is not the dial selector being recalled. It is the ZF T selector, some people are not smart enough to look at the read out on the dash to see what gear they are or are not in. It's much earlier nowadays to blame the manufacturers for your own actions then it is to take responsibility for them.

But it does give the weak minded people something to talk about. Oh BTW Nutz how many vehicles has GM recalled? Oups I didn't go there did I? LMAO.

Don

The affected vehicles are the 300, Charger, Durango and Grand Cherokee all with the ZF 8 speed and ZF T handle floor shifter.

Don,
I think the point is with a conventional shifting mechanism I typically shift into Reverse and Drive without even looking at the display when driving both my truck and my wife's Edge. With the notches in the shift points you can feel your way as you shift as a source for feedback. Sometimes simple is dependable goes along ways.

Case in point when my wife was shopping for a new vehicle about a year ago, she originally wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee but it was the shifter that was the show stopper for her during a test drive. Now my wife is not mechanically inclined by any stretch of the imagination, but for her it was a major problem. For me it was different that I thought was not a good design, but I could live with it.
