Volkswagen Jetta is Less Expensive than The Most impractical Hoverboard ArcaBoard - http://clapway.com/2015/12/26/volkswagen-jetta-is-less-expensive-then-the-most-impractical-hoverboard-arcaboard/

I thought hoverboards were only accessible in the 2015 version of Back to the Future! ARCA Space Corporation has a new one, the ArcaBoard, and amazingly enough, it is more expensive than the Volkswagen Jetta! Just what is this new piece of hardware, or vaporware, that ARCA has in store?

A LITTLE INFORMATION ON THE HOVERBOARD ARCABOARD

The ArcaBoard hoverboard will allow people to hover in the air. This is no scam telling people they can float, they can with this board. The ArcaBoard uses its 272 horsepower and 36 electric fans to power its upthrust. This allows users to actually fly in the air with it. So, how on earth do you steer this hoverboard? Well, ARCA states that users will use their smartphone to steer it. This board will take around six hours to re-charge. The problem is, is that the batteries on the board will only last around six minutes.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA FEATURES

To give an idea on why it is so amazing that the ArcaBoard is more expensive than a car like the Volkswagen Jetta, the Jetta must be talked about. This car has loads of great technology inside of it. It has built-in Driver Assistance systems, a touchscreen sound system, and even a touchscreen navigation system. Safety is also a big aspect to the Jetta. It has a blind spot monitor, a rear traffic alert system, a park distance control system, an adaptive cruise control system, and a forward collision warning system.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA AND HOVERBOARD ARCABOARD RESPECTIVE COSTS

The Volkswagen Jetta can be purchased for the starting price of $17,680. However, the ArcaBoard comes in at $19,900. So, a six-minute hoverboard is more expensive than a full model vehicle? That is very interesting indeed. There is no doubt that this hoverboard is very unique, but should it really be more expensive than a brand new vehicle?

A HOVERBOARD MORE THAN AN AUTOMOBILE?

This just seems unreal to be honest. Now, the official release of this hoverboard is not set. This could end up never actually hitting the market, but if it does this price might not make it a success. Some people will no doubt be curious on how this device works. However, I do not think many people will be curious enough to spend around $20,000 for it. All in all, though, this hoverboard does sound pretty fantastic.

Volkswagen and Mazda Do a Recall of Nearly 613,000 Vehicles - http://clapway.com/2015/08/15/volkswagen-and-mazda-do-a-recall-of-nearly-613000-vehicles432/

In an effort to be more reactive and to minimize damage control, Mazda and Volkswagen have been forced to recall more than 600,000 vehicles due to an air bag and steering loss issue.

MAZDA HAS RECALLED OVER 190,000 UNITS OF THE CX-9

Mazda’s recall involves more that 190,000 units of the CX-9, its largest sports utility vehicle, SUV, to fix certain suspension parts within the vehicle that are apparently rusting and coming apart, leading to a loss of steering power. According to reports, the front ball joints of the CX-9’s are accumulating rust because of a water leakage, which ultimately becomes loose and separated from the suspension system. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, started thoroughly investigating the problem after 16 different complaints came in from vehicle owners. Mazda said that they first noticed this problem back May 2012 and tried to address the issue in their factories by January 2014. However, things apparently didn’t go according to their plans. The vehicles that are affected are between the model years ranging from 2007 to 2014. Owners of the affected vehicles have been asked to take back their faulty CX-9s to their dealers and have the defective suspension parts replaced.

VOLKSWAGEN HAS TO RECALL OVER 420,000 VEHICLES

Volkswagen has faced even bigger challenges as they have been forced to recall more than 420,000 vehicles in the United states, due to an issue that prevents the front air bags from deploying in the case of a car accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the crash debris are apparently ripping through the cables that power the front air bags. This is leading to a deployment failure in an accident. The NHTSA has received nine complaints so far from car owners. However, according to the NHTSA, there haven’t been any injuries or accidents reported so far from the air bag issue.

MULTIPLE VOLKSWAGEN MODELS ARE UNDER A RECALL

The models that have been recalled by Volkswagen are the CC, Jetta, Passat and the Tiguran, with the model years from 2010 to 2014. The Jetta and Eos from 2010 to 2013, the Golf and GTI from 2012 to 2014, and the Jetta SportWagen from 2011 to 2013 have also been recalled. In an official statement from Volkswagen, they said that the fix is currently under development and all of the affected vehicle owners will be notified when the fix is ready for deployment.
