The 23 Most Mechanically Compromised Cars & Features in History

Welcome to The 23 Most Mechanically Compromised Cars & Features in History Ford ran the numbers. An engineer sat down with a legal pad, added up the projected injury settlements, divided by the expected number of vehicles on the road, and concluded that fixing the problem would cost more than paying out the claims. The fix was $11 per car. They shipped it anyway. That car was the Pinto, and we're going to get to it — but here's what you need to know right now: the Pinto isn't even the most mechanically compromised vehicle on this list. The golden age of American automobiles was also the most reckless era of consumer safety on record. Gorgeous sheet metal, big displacement engines, and almost no engineering accountability between the factory floor and your driveway. We're counting down the 10 most dangerous cars ever sold to the public, starting at number 15 and building to the worst offender on record. And woven into this list are two bonus segments covering the specific design features that kept showing up across different makes and models — features that were dangerous everywhere they appeared. By the end, you'll know exactly why every safety standard on every car sold today exists, and how long the engineering community sat on that knowledge before anything changed. -------------- Copyright Disclaimer We do not fully own the material compiled in this video.
