US agency ends investigation into Ford engine failures after recall and warranty extension
The U.S. government's auto safety regulator has ended a 2 1/2-year investigation into Ford engine failures after the company replaced engines or extended the warranty on some vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Monday on its website that its analysis traced the problem to intake valves that can fracture inside some 2.7-liter and 3-liter turbocharged engines. Documents say the probe opened in May of 2022 ended up covering more than 411,000 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years including the Ford F-150 Bronco, Edge and Explorer as well as the Lincoln Aviator and Nautilus.

Porsche Cayman Running From Police Causes Fatal Crash
We’re used to seeing the usual suspects in police chase videos: Chargers, Mustangs, Camaros, Altimas, Challengers, even Audis. But we don’t see too many with Porsches and especially not with a Cayman, so this one out of Georgia is unique. Sadly, the chase ended in a fatal crash, showing why running from police is a truly selfish act. Paris will punish people for driving fat cars. As one might expect, the trooper didn’t stand a chance of keeping up with the mid-engine sports car, which once it wa
