VW owners are suing over those insane touch buttons and I'm not surprised

I saw the news that a bunch of Volkswagen owners are suing the company over those terrible touch buttons on their steering wheels. One woman said her ID 4 suddenly accelerated when she was pulling into a parking spot and caused over fourteen thousand dollars in damage. Another owner ran right into their garage trying to park. The lawsuit says that a simple brush of the hand can accidentally activate the cruise control. VW has already admitted these buttons were a mistake by switching back to real buttons on all their new cars. But that does not help the people who are stuck with the old ones. 🙄 I just don't get the people who come up with these bad designs. Cars are so important and they involve safety. How can they just be made up on a whim? #Volkswagen #VW #ClassAction #CarTech #Lawsuit #CarSafety #DrivingJourney #Cardesign

Roadtrip nightmare in 100 degree heat and now my engine looks cooked 🔥😅

Two hours into my drive home and my car completely gave out in the middle of nowhere. The check engine light started flashing and when I pulled over the engine was billowing smoke. I went to check the oil and the dipstick had actually MELTED. I had an oil change just three weeks ago 😱😱 Part of me is hoping it’s just a leak but my gut says it’s something much worse. Tow truck is on the way but I’m wondering what I might be walking into when I get to the shop. Has anyone dealt with something like this... It's Honda Civic 2008 coupe if it helps. #CarRepair #HondaCivic #Cars #CarSafety

Gen Z’s Risky Driving Habits Exposed

Did you know Gen Z drivers are way more likely to get hurt in car crashes than any other age group? It’s not just bad luck—think distracted driving (texting behind the wheel), skipping seatbelts, and driving older, less safe cars. Even though most know the risks, nearly half admit to texting while driving! Solutions like stricter licensing, visible law enforcement, and insurance that rewards safe driving could help turn things around. Wild, right? #Transportation #GenZ #CarSafety
