Hyundai Just Issued A Recall For A Hilariously Unexpected Dashboard Issue

Made me think of the guy I carpooled to high school with for a year, he had an early-70s Porsche 914 -- arguably the worst Porsches of all time (actually there probably isn't an argument). Nothing but the tach worked on the dashboard. No speedometer, no odometer, no gauges. He'd fill it up with gas every five days just to be safe, 'cause he had no idea.

Up until last year I had a 2010 Elantra. One day I parked nose-out in a driveway on busy Route 1o in north Jersey to drop off something. A few seconds later I heard a crunching sound behind me. My Hyundai had slipped out of park and drifted across the two-lane road before stopping against the median. By the grace of a higher entity there was a break in traffic otherwise, who knows what could have happened. I hightailed it out of there, and the same thing happened a few days later in a parking lot, the car only moved a few inches before stopping against the parking barrier. I got rid of it within a week.
