Ford Sues John Cena For Selling High-End Car Within A Month Of Purchase (Photos)

John Cena must definitely have some Nigerian blood in him, as only a Nigerian can do such. When Ford launched its Application Programme for the Ford GT, observers noted the hoops and hurdles Ford set up to manage its relationship with the high-end clientele club. Actor John Cena took delivery of a custom 2017 GT in September, then sold the coupe not even a month later — an audacious violation of the purchase contract he signed, which bound owners to hold onto their cars for at least two years. For such treason, Ford sued Cena in U.S. District Court last week, seeking more than $75,000 in damages. Cena paid $466,376.50 for the liquid blue coupe with the “Dark Energy” interior and made a video about taking delivery of the car around September 23. Not long after that love-fest, sometime around October 20, the GT had a new owner. Ford called Cena a few days later when it heard about the sale, and said Cena breached the agreement.

Nissan To Recall Over 17,000 Units Of Infiniti QX30

t:Infiniti envisaged a possible airbag problem in its QX30, and this is prompting the company to recall certain units of this automobile. There is fear that the airbags may deploy at random, even without any external force prompting such deployment, which can inflict injury on the driver and also increase the risk of an auto crash. The company made a call for a recall despite the fact that no incident of a random deployment in the airbag has been reported yet. While describing the defect, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (t:NHTSA), wrote that “The combination of an electrostatic discharge to a broken steering column-module clock spring, and an insufficient grounding to the steering column, might lead to an inadvertent deployment of the airbag. Up to 17,507 units of the Infiniti QX30 will be affected by the recall; the affected automobiles are those manufactured between August 10, 2015, and June 16, 2017. The owners of these automobiles will be contacted fro
