We all make mistakes, but when car companies make mistakes it can be expensive (and sometimes deadly). This is a list of 9 engineering fails caused by car companies. Some are silly, some are serious, and some are downright scary. Buckle up and grab your bug repellant: this is D-List.

Can we talk about the Pinto tho?
What about self-igniting electric cars?
Making a percentage of cars biodegradable, sounds like some 5th graders plan to save the planets
I hate to tell everyone this, but manufacturers have started making wire insulation out of food, and rats are getting uo there and eating them up.
Toyota tundras have the same biodegradable wire problems
The toyota floor mats had hooks on the floor… I owned an 05 matrix up until 2 weeks ago from new, not once did my mat move into the pedals… sounds like there's a lot of dumb people who broke the hooks when removing them to clean. Or just didn't hook them back in properly…
You could always swap in a predator 212 or 670 vtwin. Id bet you could get this thing up to 50mph (which is probably too fast)
Funny thing about the fuel filter…Mazda put the filter for the Miata near the passenger rear wheel well. Guess they don't really like putting them in the engine bay.
NO!!!! Biodegradable Cars ARE NOT a good idea! You want to wLk out one day and Your Pink Scion (nathes that ridiculous boggin n mic) to be hslf goner, into the earth? No! I dont want my 1170 Chalkenger to disentagrate.
😅 Mazda spiders
“Rapidly accelerating Prius” wow, i mean really im amazed at the statement
Got electrocuted doing an oil change on a older Ford Ranger thanks to the fact that the idiots decided that the best place for the oil filter was directly above the god damn starter. They had a cheaply made piece of plastic meant to keep it from pouring onto it, but this one in question had been removed/broken off. I liked very, very few of Ford's vehicles before that, I flat out hated the company after that.
I was working for Tire Kingdom back when the whole Firestone/Ford deal happened, I ended up changing at least 5-12 sets of tires per day from that alone for the better part of a year. Can only imagine how busy dealerships were.
lil peep and Tupac , In heaven like the Pontiac Aztek 🤘
Toyota is just an old persons excuse for not knowing how to drive. Put the car in neutral or pull the ebrake.
you forgot the 92-96 f150 recall where the break fluid would catch fire because some electrical stuff was directly connected to it. I know….I own one.
I love when James mispronounces shit on purpose it's the funniest shit ever 😅😅
This style is lame. not entertaining
Those spiders tryna party
I think the Aztek's achilles heel was its looks more than anything.
lol americans be so dumb they cant use a floor matt
I misspelled some of my last comment..lol
I remember the Prius recall in 09 ad 2010 my mom decided not to buy a a Toyota she bought a 2008 Pontiac vibe (2008 was the last year Pontiacs were manufactured )
All I saw was the title and immediately thought of the Firestone and the Ford exploder. And it was the first thing mentioned in the intro
Wow, these car engineering fails are truly mind-boggling!
faygo !
mcl
I just love how James always pronounces everything intentionally wrong‐ "Mersaytsees"… "Fyord"…
Makes my brain happy.
How high was he doing these bits?
Wait. So you can go in reverse fast? Wasn't their Fast and Furious video challenging that?
6:08 — Ahh yes, the FireStorm tires on the Ford Exploder…
Big mic talks into little mic
Wish i had known about this channel before I bought my Jeep Jk. Y’all talk about so many different issues to look out for. You guys make it so easy to understand about cars, that i have learned so much about them this last 6 months. I knew nothing about cars till i saw your vids. I changed my first Tire last year.
I have to admit I'm surprised that you didn't make this a top 10 list and include the Chevy Corvair. Wiki it.
1:49 kinda reminds me of how many nazi men had to be released from the courts for war crimes because they felt Germany wouldn’t recover otherwise, since there was over 70% of the male population that would have been prosecuted. I see a pattern.
List needs the Ford Pinto and it's explody gas tank location.
Biodegradable stuff is fine but not in things that should not be. Such as wiring.
I remember as a young buck, I got my 95 grand am up to 50 in reverse, made a tiny correction and sideswiped a row of trees.
2 Fails are NOT engineering fails, they are user (or in that case the lack of intelligence) fails: Floormats and Reverse: Use your brain!!!! Place the floormats correctly, and don't drive full blast in reverse, dummies!
When i bought a ford way back as a new adult… For years hearing ford jokes from those that would know 😅last year i basically re bought the car with repairs. It had 5 easy years
We had a 2006 Mercedes E320 CDI and the wiring on it was atrocious. I had to replace the drivers side headlamp 3 or 4 times because it would keep shorting out. If you touched the wire the coatings would just crumble. I bought some coating and fixed the obvious stuff. We sold it because the key sensor went to hell on it and it was going to $2500 to fix it that coupled with the wiring issues it was a good time to let it go. Sold it to a guy who sold used Mercedes only so figured he was the best to deal with it. I did tell him about its issues.
My brother picked up a Toyota with those damned tires, we almost didn't make it home
I miss my RX-7…
They make wiring insulation out of corn in the US. Degrading isn't a problem, but mice, rats, voles, squirrels, and other vermin enjoy that insulation.
Holy crap! So as an electrician, my professional response to Mercedes has to be, "Really? You really foresaw no issues? Are you high, or just incredibly stupid?"
how can you not mention walter white also drove aztech
