On this glorious Forth of July morning, I took time to deal with a very annoying clicking sound that was originating from my dash. This noise lasts for about 30 seconds to a minute after ignition.

The source is a bad actuator. Luckily this was easily accessed by pulling the glove box down. I disconnect and remove the actuator. What does it say on the white part sticker? Oh you probably already guessed it!

MADE IN CHINA

No wonder the cheap crap broke!

Thanks Chevy!

2019 Ram 1500 purchased new on Black Friday and I just got my 5th recall Tuesday.

Ouch!

Is it the new 5th Gen Ram?

It can be risky buying the first year of a new Gen of any make/model.

It is the new one but all of the recalls have been for stupid stuff like brake pedal linkage, ground cable, and such. I have the nice sound system and found out left is right with my speakers. I am afraid to try and get that fixed because they may wreck things.

When I get home I have to look up TSBs because on Tuesday I realized the only gear change I need to engage the brake for is out of park. I can go from D to R and R to D without touching the brake and I can go from R to P without the brake.

That gear from park issue sounds dangerous. Not good.

Iirc the Honda Accord is the most American made car you can buy. Jeep Wrangler is up there as well.

The Corvette is made in America, but most all other Chevys are utter garbage.

That's what happens when you subsidised all their shipping. There's a reason why it's cheaper to make something in China, and send it halfway across the world, than it is to make something in your own country, and sell it on location.

Think how much it costs to send a parcel from your country to China, that's how much more expensive the product SHOULD be.

But don't worry, it's changing soon. The new one will be "made in Vietnam"
