* NEW JOBS FOR VEHICLE ASSEMBLY WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND GLOBALLY It Is Critical To Employ People To Include VVCS Applications To All Vehicles Today. A major contributing factor is the cost of a motor vehicle in the prevention of motor vehicle accidents and fatalities is the added COST of these devices resulting in many cases not being “available” or not being “affordable”. Visual Vehicle Communication Systems provide effective results at near no added cost in the prevention of motor vehicle accidents and fatalities. Let’s be specific. Prevention of open vehicles collisions and fatalities with the addition of reflective tape to the lower interior door panel that is automatically illuminated by a vehicle drivers headlights to allow a visual warning. The video shows the proprietary Visual Vehicle Communication System application to a Subaru Ascent drivers door is shown. Take notice in the video the mother holding the child standing outside the vehicle door and the reflective tape providing a constant visual warning conspicuously during the day and reflectively at night. FOOT NOTE:: Attempts by reaching out to Subaru to have Subaru employees apply this proprietary application was denied as a result of Subaru “policy” to not accept and or review safety suggestions with no exceptions. It is hoped by this inventor this no exception policy will change at Subaru. * Notice: This posting is not a advertisement and informational for the addition on “new” jobs for individuals domestically and internationally.:

🚨2024 Automotive Recall Surge: What’s Happening? 🚨 The second quarter of 2024 continued the trend of significant automotive recalls, with 115 recall campaigns affecting over 4.6 million vehicles in the U.S. This figure, though lower than Q1, reflects the ongoing safety risks millions of drivers face. An analysis of data from the #NHTSA and #USDOT highlights which brands are leading the recall count and the associated customer dissatisfaction. 🏆 Leading #Recalls by Manufacturers: #Chrysler (FCA US, LLC): 14 recalls, 1.2M vehicles affected (rearview camera display issues). #Ford Motor Company: 12 recalls, 1.3M vehicles (persistent electrical problems, downshifts in Explorer models). #Kia: 8 recalls, 468K vehicles (overheating seat motors causing fire risks). Other big names like #Volkswagen, #Toyota, and #Mercedes-#Benz are also on the list, while #Subaru, #Volvo, and #Lucid had zero recalls in Q2 2024. 📉 The Cost to Manufacturers & Consumers: Vehicle recalls have become a major financial burden. In 2023, Ford spent $4.8 billion in warranty repairs, investing heavily in quality control technologies to prevent future defects. This trend is causing delayed launches and straining consumer trust. 🔧 Are Defined Processes Being Followed?: Despite stringent #IATF16949 and #ASPICE standards, the data suggests that many recalls stem from gaps in process adherence. For example, Ford’s electrical issues point to testing protocol lapses, and Chrysler’s #camera failures indicate a lack of robust validation checks during production. The cost of failing to follow established processes? Billions in recall expenses and lost consumer confidence. ⚡ What’s Next for the #Auto Industry?: #automotiverecalls #safetyfirst #qualitymanagement #Ford #Chrysler #Tesla #automotiveindustry #customerexperience #ISO9001 #ASPICE #electricvehicles #processimprovement #softwareengineering

Ford Motor Company Wet Belt Scandal Ford UK are you going continue putting your heads in the sand hoping this problem will disappear. Maybe that's what the Post Office Ltd was hoping when they denied liability over Horizon system faliures. whilst I would not compare the horrific treatment of the Sub Postoffice Masters.
