Ford Flex B-pillar trim prompts NHTSA investigation
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. A new Levorg is said to be arriving halfway through 2026 or early in 2027. View post: Walmart's Magnetic Phone Car Charger Is Now on Sale for Just $17, and It 'Works Perfectly' A Step Toward A Recall The Ford Flex—an unusual crossover with retro, wagon-like styling that Ford sold in the United States from model years 2009 to 2019—is back in the news for the wrong reasons. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating 2019 Flex models after consumer complaints that B-pillar trim may detach, presenting a potential hazard to other road users. One complaint alleges that a detached trim pieces struck a trailing vehicle, for example, according to a statement on the NHTSA website. 0:03 / 0:09 Automakers brace for uncertain future amid Trump's tariff pause Watch More Conducted by the safety agency's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI), the probe of 35,950 vehicles is one of the steps toward a formal recall, which will be issued later depending on the ODI's findings. The ODI is aware of similar complaints with 2016-2018 Flex models, but is focusing on 2019 models for now because the rate of allegations is much higher, according to the NHTSA statement. Vehicles from those model years will also be assessed for any similarities or differences that might account for their lower rate of alleged trim-detachment issues. A Weird Flex 2013 Ford Flex side view While the crossover status quo eventually formed around vehicles with the rugged looks of the traditional body-on-frame SUVs they largely replaced in automaker lineups, the three-row Flex took a different design approach. That approach didn't win over many customers; Ford targeted sales of 100,000 units a year, but in its best year (2009), the Flex only managed 38,717 sales. That declined to just 4,848 units in its final sales year, 2020. The Flex is based on the same D4 platform as the Lincoln MKT, with which it shared a similar form factor, as well as the Lincoln MKS sedan, the final-generation Ford Taurus, and the fifth-generation Ford Explorer that marked that SUV's transition to unibody construction. It may not have looked like anything else in Ford's lineup at the time, but the Flex's mechanical bits were fairly mundane. Over its lifespan, it was offered with a naturally-aspirated V6 making 287 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque, or a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making 365 hp and 350 lb-ft. A six-speed automatic transaxle was standard with both engines, with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive options.

The automaker issued 89 recalls in the first half of 2025, breaking the annual record for recalls set by General Motors in 2014. GM issued 77 recalls over that entire year, and the pace of Ford recalls in 2025 showing no signs of slowing, it looks like the Blue Oval will surpass that by a very large margin. In just the past few weeks, Ford has recalled about 20,000 Lincoln Aviators because incorrect software could cause rear windows to pinch fingers, about 300,000 vehicles for a brake issue, and around 100,000 of its bestselling F-150 pickups because of weak bolts that could prevent parking brakes from working properly.

McDonald's fans revolt as price of only 'fair' menu item skyrockets: 'I'm done'
McDonald's loyalists are complaining on social media after the chain's famous $5 meal deal jumped in price — in some locations, now costing $7 in less than a month. The four-item meal deal launched in May last year and quickly sparked copycat offers from Burger King and Wendy's. It was introduced to counter growing frustration among Americans at soaring fast food prices, with a $17 Big Mac becoming the poster child for soaring burger costs. The move worked, helping lure customers back to McDonald's 18,000 US restaurants. But fans are frustrated as prices creep up in some areas'. One Reddit user said: 'I stopped going to McDonald's for a couple of years because of the prices, but the $5 meal deal seemed fair. 'Well, a couple of weeks ago it became $6. And today it's $7.40 percent more in less than a month is wild. I'm done again.' The deal includes a sandwich — either a McChicken, McDouble, or Daily Double — four chicken nuggets, fries, and a drink. Depending on location and choices, the Daily Double option can push the price to $7. Some fans slammed McDonald's for 'dropping the ball,' while others point out the meal still offers 40–50 percent off compared with ordering items individually. A Reddit user claimed a $5 meal deal at McDonald's cost $7 at their local restaurant A few customers defended the chain, saying the meal still costs $5 at their local restaurants. 'Mine is still $5 for the McChicken meal,' one said. 'Along with either a free six piece nuggets or free Big Mac if the Phillies win or Eagles get a sack, I consider that a really good deal.' 'The deals are pretty fair if you use them in conjunction with a promo,' another customer commented. 'Besides, these meal deals were only supposed to be around for like a month anyway.' The debate comes after McDonald's recovered from its first quarter sales slump — to post a 2.5 percent rise in US sales. It was boosted by the Minecraft Meal offer and the roll-out of McCrispy Strips. With consumers fearing skyrocketing prices of Big Macs, some have opted to skip McDonald's and head over to another restaurant. Some gave brief shout outs to the all-new McDonaldland Meal — a limited-time offering bring back beloved characters Grimace, Ronald McDonald, Birdie, Fry Friends, Hamburglar and Mayor McCheese. While customers were eager to get their hands on the meal, employees were aggravated to learn they would debut a month after the Snack Wrap relaunch. 'Seriously!?! One more thing to shove in my already overloaded tiny walk-in cooler!,' a worker wrote on a Reddit post. Multiple social media users believed the prices were 'more than fair' and were not higher than usual The negative hype and humiliating loss for the nation's favorite fast food chain, is not affecting the company's plan to boost employment and customer satisfaction. Customers were ecstatic to earlier this summer that a 'vast majority' of McDonald's restaurants permanently extended operating hours. The chain is also completing its biggest job push since 2020 — 375,000 Americans. The hiring wave will span to over 13,000 US locations while the chain prepares to open 900 new restaurants by the end of 2027. Working to implement more AI technology into its 43,000 restaurants, the company has not revealed which of the new locations will include the technological updates. It is continuing to work with its franchisees in ensuring menu prices are affordable for all customers.

Appalling text Phoenix news anchor sent husband that ended with their lives in ruins
A glamorous ex-news anchor convicted of a billion-dollar fintech scheme sent a text to her husband admitting they were fraudulently applying for government funds. Stephanie Hockridge-Reis's appalling message to her husband Nathan Reis emerged as Reis took a plea deal over his part in the Covid-19 funding scam. The couple were accused of submitting false applications for Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans during the height of the pandemic. Hockridge-Reis, 42, pleaded not guilty, but a federal jury convicted her of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in June this year. She was acquitted of four counts of wire fraud. Prosecutors allege the couple coached borrowers to submit fraudulent PPP loan applications and received kickbacks once the funds were secured. The former KNXV-TV anchor claimed her actions were a 'sincere effort to support small businesses' in navigating a chaotic government problem during an era of 'unprecedented need'. But a text message she reportedly sent to Reis, 47, that appears to admit guilt has re-emerged after he pleaded guilty to their crime. 'This is us trying to apply for free money — when we don't quite qualify. lol,' she texted Reis, according to a federal indictment obtained by The Arizona Republic. Stephanie Hockridge-Reis allegedly sent a text to her husband admitting that she knew they were 'trying to apply for free money — when we don't quite qualify' Reis was scheduled to stand trial this month but entered into a plea deal on Monday, court records show. He will be sentenced in November. A federal jury found Hockridge-Reis guilty of conspiracy following the end of her trial in June. The case centered on Blueacorn, the fintech firm the couple co-founded in April 2020, just weeks after Hockridge-Reis left her anchor job. Blueacorn claimed to help small businesses navigate the PPP loan process, a lifeline created by Congress to keep workers employed during the Covid crisis. In reality, investigators say the company became a fraud factory. According to a congressional subcommittee, Blueacorn processed over $12.5 billion in loans and pocketed up to $300 million for its ownership group, while spending virtually nothing on fraud prevention. While many small businesses struggled to survive during the pandemic, the Reis family were living large, filming videos with bricks of cash, flaunting Rolex watches, and vacationing on the balconies of tropical locales. The court was shown photos of her holding stacks of $100 bills in a bathtub and video captured at a luxury beachfront apartment in Puerto Rico, where the couple had relocated to avoid US capital gains tax. The jury also saw internal messages encouraging staff to 'push through' loan applications with no regard for red flags and a so-called 'VIPPP' list that allowed high-dollar clients to bypass security checks. 'Who the f*** cares,' she allegedly said in one message about improperly rejected applicants. 'We're not the first bank to decline borrowers who deserve to be funded… They can go elsewhere.' Another text cited by prosecutors reportedly described her as 'the MVP' of the operation. Hockridge-Reis, an Emmy-nominated journalist who once graced magazine covers as ' Arizona 's Favorite Newscaster', will appear in court for sentencing on October 10. She faces up to 20 years in prison for the conspiracy conviction. According to court filings, the couple submitted fraudulent PPP applications for themselves, including one claiming Reis was both African American and a military veteran - both lies. They received at least $300,000 in personal PPP funds. They also charged borrowers illegal 'success fees,' violating SBA rules, and even struck kickback deals with banks, collecting percentages of loans that were funded, prosecutors alleged. Blueacorn's practices were so brazen that Congress launched a formal investigation, revealing that while the company collected over $1 billion in taxpayer-funded processing fees, it spent only $8.6 million on fraud prevention, less than 1 percent of its intake. She spent seven years as a respected anchor for the Phoenix-based ABC affiliate and previously worked for CBS News Radio in London. Her career accolades include an Emmy nomination and features in local lifestyle publications One congressional report summarized the company's internal directive succinctly: Speed over accuracy. Some employees, with zero financial training, were reportedly processing hundreds of loans in under 30 seconds each. 'This was not about helping small businesses,' a federal official close to the investigation said. 'It was about siphoning off a national crisis for personal gain.' During the trial, federal attorneys also introduced a superseding indictment alleging that the couple fabricated payroll records, tax documents, and bank statements. In one application, Hockridge-Reis and Reis claimed to own an Amazon business generating six figures. Another loan was issued to a nonexistent company they claimed had multiple employees. The couple allegedly rerouted money through a chain of bank accounts, using interstate wires to disguise their tracks. Federal investigators say that Reis played a central role in overseeing Blueacorn's day-to-day operations and financial distributions - and helped foster the toxic culture that prioritized profit above all else. Reis plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud on Monday. He is scheduled to be sentenced on November 21 and also faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The couple's case was also connected to Eric and Anthony Karnezis, two men who earlier this year pleaded guilty to PPP fraud in a related case. Eric Karnezis agreed to pay between $25 million and $65 million in restitution; Anthony agreed to repay between $3.5 million and $9.5 million. The convictions underscore what federal watchdogs have called the largest fraud wave in US history - fueled by emergency Covid aid programs and exploited by thousands of bad actors. The Paycheck Protection Program, meant to protect workers, became a cash cow for predators.
