Editor's note: This article was originally published on July 14, 2023. It has since been updated. Sometimes salespersons, particularly those working at high-end stores, make assumptions about their customers far too quickly. But judging customers based on appearances isn't necarraily a great selling tactic. Just ask Reddit user u/senadi1, who shared their experience and proved to one salesperson that they shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

The Associated Press

DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling more than 550,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the transmissions can unexpectedly downshift to first gear no matter how fast the trucks are going. The recall covers certain F-150 pickups from the 2014 model year. Ford’s F-Series pickups are the top-selling vehicles in the U.S.  Ford says in documents posted Tuesday by U.S. safety regulators that the downshifting can cause drivers to lose control of the trucks, increasing the risk of a crash. The recalls come after U.S. auto safety regulators in March began investigating complaints that more than 540,000 Ford pickup trucks from 2014 can abruptly downshift to a lower gear and increase the risk of a crash.
