heard this on radio earlier today. lots of Fords that look like you've put them in park but could end up rolling away. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/ford-recalls-29m-vehicles-risk-roll-crashes-85408091have you ever had a car recalled? a few years back... monday after thanksgiving weekend... driving to school and WHAM!... front passenger seat airbag deployed... all on its own. LOUD! like popping the biggest paper bag. was still a little dark. i thought maybe a deer that smashed into me? i knew i hadn't hit anything, nothing in the road, no pothole. didn't even realize it was the airbag until i got to school and no damage to outside of car? was around the time another car manufacturer was in the news about bad airbags... maybe VW? my car... 04 hyundai sante fe was not on any recall list but someone at school suggested i go to NHTSB... i think that's their initials... national highway traffic safety board... or something like that. next thing i knew i was contacted by an "investigator. hyundai immediately said not their fault... it was an "old" car... wear/tear and all. i smelled BS. eventually had someone some and do a "thorough examination" of the car in the school parking lot. then a choice... they would BUY my well over 12 year old car or fix it. either way, i had to sign a release, so never found out exactly why i could have gotten almost $3000 for it. have you ever had a call recalled?

I've had recalls on two different vehicles. No big deal. Dealer took care of the issue and I was on my way with no more issues.

We had a recall on the DW's car, something about a cable clip possibly installed wrong at the factory. It wasn't and we were out in no time.
