    Ford recalls 1.4 million cars because their steering wheels might come off

    The two affected cars are the Ford Fusion and the Lincoln MKZ.

    Bolts on the steering wheel may become loose, leading to a loss of control and an "increased risk of a crash". Ford is aware of two accidents, with one injury, allegedly related to the defect.

    I hate it when that happens!! Except in old comedy movies. (Here! You drive.) ;)

    Seriously, though, that's pretty shabby quality.

    I wonder if VW has the same problem? It would explain my Dad being all over the road when he's on the motorway.

    I've got a friend who's responsible for a lot of Chinese automotive policy. I must tell him this: he'll really like it. His favourite such thing so far has been the British one - Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious.

    You could also say
    Fix Or Rebuild Daily
    but that is a little extreme.

    Based on experience, the other brand I'm thinking of is Italian Appalling Trash. I can't think of a word for the F, though.

    Given the poour product quality, I think the Flambouyance is the only thing that helps them sell cars. They'd really struggle if their cars were bouring: people would just ignoure them in the showrooums.

    Floating in a showy way.

    My daughter has a massive inflatable pink flamingo pool toy. I think it is flambouyant.

    From the French for flaming. Let a petrol-supply line come lose near an exhaust manifold and watch the fun.
