No mechanical way to open car doors incase of power failures is a deadly safety issue.
I'm still incensed that my new Ford F150 has no mechanical way to lower the tailgate. I felt silly standing there trying to open it for the first time.
Plus, the (real, comprehensive) owner's manual? They don't give you a hard copy. It's only available on the console screen via computer software which is, you guessed it, also electronically operated.
Suddenly, I'm missing my high school 396 Impala with Julie D sitting so close to me she was almost in my lap.
