Jeep had the recall announced within the time range of his death. They knew of the faulty gear box since April. 800,000 vehicles are affected. Civil lawsuit is most likely. However, his death also affects the future of his acting and blood line families. So, the issue of manufacturer responsibility to identify and address defective conditions will be a center point of conversation. With instant social media the fore warnings could have circled the planet in the same day the company discovered the defect. Is it acceptable to weigh the costs of life loss vs. manufacturer profit? That decision was made in the 70's when the Ford Pinto had the exploding gas tank. INDUSTRIAL VULTURES!
New BMWs won't move with a door not securely latched. When that car gets old and the door latch wears out (which it will) you won't be able to drive it. When new, if your door is only latched at the first of two steps it won't drive. Modern cars are nice in many ways but it is getting ridiculous.
>Roger That. My sons' girlfriend has an 07 BMW with a window stuck in the door and no AC. That news is not "commercial" material . THAT DOOR LATCH DESIGN IS ALL BMW BULLSHIT. How about the Chevy Monza that needed motor removal to change the spark plugs due to the design on the engine. I saw this 50's Ford with collapsible roof
