Nearly 133,000 Ford SUVs recalled over possible detaching parts: See impacted models
Ford is recalling nearly 133,000 SUVs because some parts, including rear door window bars, may disconnect due to not enough adhesive, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration announced.
The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker reported the rear door window bars and C-pillar trim may have insufficient adhesive bonding, which can allow the trim to detach from the SUV, the NHTSA reported on June 17.
Detaching parts may pose a hazard to other road users and increase the risk of crashes, according to the NHTSA report.
The recall affects 2020-2025 Lincoln Aviators. About 132,900 vehicles are impacted.

Dealers will repair or replace C-pillar appliques and window division bars, free of charge, the NHTSA recall notice said. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available, according to the notice.
Notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners by July 28.
Owners can contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332.
The number for this recall is 25S66.
Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.nhtsa.gov.

Business Secretary meeting Lotus after reports of plans to scrap UK carmaking
The Business Secretary will hold talks with Lotus after the carmaker appeared to shelve plans to shut its UK operations. After reports that Chinese owner Geely was planning to stop manufacturing at the Hethel plant in Norfolk, putting 1,300 jobs at risk, Lotus issued a statement saying it had 'no plans' to close the factory. Jonathan Reynolds will speak to the company on Sunday, the PA news agency understands. The British sportscar brand has been majority-owned by Chinese multinational Geely since 2017. The Financial Times had reported it was considering shutting up shop in the UK and in favour of a new plant in the US. On Saturday, Lotus sought to assuage concerns with a statement that it remains 'committed' to the UK, which it called its largest commercial market in Europe and the 'heart' of the brand. 'Lotus Cars is continuing normal operations, and there are no plans to close the factory,' it said. 'We are actively exploring strategic options to enhance efficiency and ensure global competitiveness in the evolving market. 'We have invested significantly in R&D and operations in the UK, over the past six years. Lotus remains committed to the UK, and its customers, employees, dealers, suppliers, as well as its proud British heritage.' A Government spokesperson said: 'The Government does not comment on speculation or the commercial affairs of private companies.'

I'm a Mechanic: These Are the 5 Cars I Would Never Buy in 2025
Not all cars are reliable. Some vehicles have high maintenance costs and persistent mechanical issues. Even if they have the most attractive designs, it's best to avoid such cars if you don't want to drain your wallet. Read Next: Explore More: Alan Gelfand, a mechanic and owner of German Car Depot, shared five cars he would never buy in 2025 because they're expensive to maintain and are prone to mechanical problems. The Chrysler 200 has been out of production since 2017, but preowned vehicles are still available for purchase. 'They end up being expensive to maintain,' Gelfand said. Besides being costly to service, Gelfand also noted that the Chrysler 200 has poor transmission quality, electrical system issues and uncomfortable driving dynamics. 'The 9-speed automatic transmission is notorious for jerky shifting and premature failure,' he said. Check Out: This midsize sedan has a luxurious look but has a major continuously variable transmission (CVT) issue, which can be costly to replace. 'I would never purchase this vehicle because the CVT is its major flaw,' Gelfand said. 'We have had to replace numerous Altima transmissions because they tend to fail at approximately 60,000 miles.' The Jeep Renegade may appeal to many people because it's a compact SUV, but Gelfand said it's one of the most unreliable cars. 'The vehicle presents itself as modern, yet it experiences multiple electrical breakdowns while its driving comfort remains poor,' he said. 'It will experience powertrain lights and shifting issues and connectivity problems that will require frequent visits to the shop.' This luxury compact SUV's sleek design looks attractive in many ways. However, the Range Rover Evoque will let you visit the repair shop regularly. 'It looks stylish yet lacks reliability. We have observed engine oil leaks together with transmission problems and total electrical shutdowns, which occur frequently below 80,000 miles,' Gelfand said. While the Chevrolet Spark is an affordable car, it's not worth the price. 'The vehicle demonstrates low construction quality together with high noise levels and weak engine performance,' Gelfand said. Rather than settling for this vehicle, Gelfand recommended a used Honda or Toyota since these models cost less and offer better durability.
