**Ford Issues Recall for Over 1 Million Vehicles Due to Camera Malfunction: Drivers Now Forced to Use Their Eyes**
In a shocking turn of events that has left millions of drivers scratching their heads (and their rearview mirrors), Ford has announced a recall of over 1 million vehicles due to a camera malfunction that has rendered the backup cameras as useful as a chocolate teapot. The malfunction reportedly causes the cameras to display images of random cats, pizza, and occasionally, a very confused raccoon.
“Honestly, I thought I was just going crazy,” said local driver and part-time magician, Dave “The Great” Thompson. “One minute I’m trying to back out of my driveway, and the next, I’m staring at a cat wearing a tiny sombrero. I mean, it was adorable, but not exactly helpful.”
Ford spokesperson, Linda “Not the Cat Lady” Johnson, explained the situation: “We take safety very seriously. But we also take cat videos very seriously. It’s a fine line we walk. We thought we were enhancing the driving experience, but it turns out we were just enhancing the internet’s meme collection.”
In a bizarre twist, Ford has decided to offer a unique solution to the problem: a complimentary pair of “Ford Vision Goggles” with every recall notice. “They’re just regular sunglasses, but they make you feel like you’re in a sci-fi movie,” Johnson added, while trying to suppress a giggle.
Meanwhile, drivers are left to ponder the existential question: “Is it really a malfunction if I can still see the pizza delivery guy?” said local philosopher and Uber driver, Chuck “Deep Thoughts” McGee. “I mean, I’ve always wanted to know what’s behind me, but I didn’t think it would be a raccoon contemplating its life choices.”
As Ford prepares to fix the issue, they remind drivers to “just use their eyes” until the repairs are made. So, buckle up, folks! It’s time to rediscover the lost art of looking over your shoulder—because who needs technology when you have good old-fashioned neck strain?
