Ron welcomes back Paul Eisenstein of The Detroit Bureau to do a deep dive into the Takata air bag recall. A recall so large at the time 10 years later we are still hearing about it in the present day too! Afterwards, The Car Doctor's first call comes from Carol in Long Island, NY with questions about tire valve stem replacement on her 2010 Mazda. She has several questions on how to proceed and is a little confused but Ron helps her understand the basics providing step by step guidance on getting it repaired properly. The Car Dr closes it out today covering a letter from Tony in Illinois with an article attached from The Chicago Tribune. The article relates a story of failed auto repair prompting the writer to discuss how mechanics of today are not being taught to use their God given sense of smell. sight, touch and feel to repair cars but they are (incorrectly according to the article) always counting on the cars computer to self diagnose. In other words; no codes? No problem or help possible! Wrong Ron points out and shows us, well, tells us how it works in his shop. Tune in to hear!
