I don't see in reality how anyone can associate the failure of the eMMC to elevate to a safety issue. Turn signals still work, the sound they make doesn't. We can still put our arms out the window to signal like pappy did for 50 years. You might not like it, but it works until we can get the MCU fixed. It's not a perfect solution but its also no permanent. Half the people where I drive don't use the darn turn signals most of the time or even turn on their headlights before daylight.
I mean we can call lack of A/C and a backup camera a safety issue - but it is really not. Else what about the 100 million cars and trucks built before 2010 that don't have backup cameras? Should they be grounded for lack of a back up camera? How did we manage to turn our hear and look over our shoulders for all that time? Tsk, tsk. When did the feds require cars sold in the U.S. have backup cameras? I know, I know ! May 2018, two months after MCU1 was discontinued in new cars. Hmm.
I guess everyone over the age of 16 should get a national freedom metal for managing to drive cars and trucks without backup camera for the last 100 years. Because anything without a back up camera is a safety issue now?
Don't confuse my sarcasm with indifference to this problem. I don't think that I don't want it fixed - the right way for owners at as little expense as possible. Its important and it needs an inexpensive method or no cost to owners to fix. But its not a safety issue that's going to just lock the car up in the middle of a busy highway and get run over by a Honda Fit. People may not like it, but its no different than a transmission or engine failing and having to pull over to the side of the road. Its a major headache, but not a safety issue.
Okay bring it on. But don't be surprise if I don't wage word war back debating my opinion. Its just my opinion and you have yours. But don't take the coward's way out and just disagree. If you have a different view, post it, don't hide behind a "Disagree"
, like too many do.
