On this week's episode of RYGTBKM, a J.D Power study reveals that cars today have more "problems" than in years past; Bentley blames slow sales on today's "emotional sensitivity"; and automakers lose $6k on EVERY EV they sell! - Розваги
So prices skyrocket and quality plummets. Awesome...
Going from 1 problem to 2 problems per 100 vehicles in 4 years doesn't seem like much of a plummet though.
@@bills6093 Uhh Yea.. based upon those #'s... that is a 100% INCREASE in problems.
Bro most people upgrade in like 5 to 10yrs only broke people keep their car forever so it doesn't really matter and if someone only has a commute of 2k to 3k miles a year like me since they don't go on roadtrips so reliability for them is kinda uselees.
@@Sideler74 if you are broke just admit it.
Preach it guys. We need cars. Not driveable computers.
Yeah if you are broke features are important.
I also don’t know how 98 percent of my new cars technology works! Nor do I wish it had the excessive technology to begin with!
Me 2. I'm 1970s old school..........
You don't need to know how it works. You only need to know how to use it. :)
Some of the full size trucks (Ford,Ram) sat on open lots rotting in the weather for over 21 months. After that time, they're not new.
years ago I wanted to buy a car and was offered a demonstration one it has been at the dealership for at least 24 months I asked for a price they gave me the full MSRP as a brand new car I couldn't believe it and said "you are joking right ? it's not new at all it was outside in front for 2 years"
I wish it were that. GM is being sued for their garbage AFM system that's been wreaking havoc for about 15 years. The 3.6 in all variants is temperamental as a newborn. The 10spd auto is as bad as the 6spd. Ford"s Ecoboost is unreliable. Stellantis has never been the greatest. For this to hit in 2019, these problems were pre pandemic. Possibly by as much as 2 years.
Made an appointment at my Ford dealership this past Friday. Cannot get a Service appointment until June 23, 2024. That is three months out folks. Called around to other Ford Dealerships and found the same time-frame. In asking them why the wait they were honest and said they are overwhelmed with the high number of recalls taking up their time.
Parts are often NOT available to repair recalled vehicles.
Auto manufacturers and dealerships are trying new tactics to try and stop buybacks. My Dealership told me GMC will not look at a vehicle if a part is on order (most parts are on back order. So in my case if you have a passenger window switch on order they will not fix my leaking rear window.
They have no techs... My local ford stealership doesn't even have a transmission tech...
Whereas, a Tesla recall is an over the air software download. No need to take it in.
A couple of years ago when my water pump went out I found three month waits everywhere. I decided I needed to start working on my own cars because this isn’t going to get any better. I bought tools, and with the help of UA-cam videos I have done many repairs like water pump, brakes, front end parts. The only thing I take to a mechanic now is something that requires a lift, something I don’t have the tools for, or something that I can’t or don’t have the equipment to diagnose. In the instance of that water pump, the dealership wanted $1200 to replace it. It was a $136 part and I replaced it in 30 minutes including draining and refilling coolant. It was that repair that solidified my decision that taking my vehicles to a mechanic is no longer a viable option in most cases.
New cars are too needlessly complicated. My 1996 Ram 1500 4x4 is still running strong and is reliable.
Adding some text for the youngsters posting disrespectful replies.
It isn't that us boomers don't know how to repair things. We've been designing and fixing things all our lives. It is the fact that so much needless technology added to vehicles makes them much more expensive to purchase and repair. High replacement parts increases insurance costs as well. Higher prices is also higher property taxes. I like my money staying in my wallet. I am fine with people wanting this bling, but I wish the manufacturers would also build a more basic truck for us people that plan to work the snot out of our truck and don't want all the frills. I have the cash to buy a new truck. I just don't like what's available.
dang true....same for my 2003 F150...
2002 Ram 1500 with me. I’ll drive it till the cab rusts off the chassis.
....and it is a piece of garbage.....
Ok boomer , no one asking u , standards go up instead of down 😂
@@cormaro1376 they add needless frills that are going to break and just cost you money to repair. You enjoy wasting your money.
Bought a brand new Chevy 2500 in the first 2 months 8 check ingine lights 28 dys in the shop, plus recall for the roofs splitting, and a recall with no fix for the tailgates dropping. GM/Dealer less than helpful. Going through lemon process now. Sad times.
😂 it’s a chevy that should’ve been expected
Poor quality control combined with overengineered technology.
Good for parts store
When you use a computer to replace a few wires, things will go wrong more often.
over-engineered and under-built...so the expensive toy features break faster now, and cost big money to replace.
Just like new housing.
And too many plastic bits where metal should be called for as in HVAC motors.
Get rid of overpriced tech in cars. They had backup cameras and cruise control in 2012, that's the only tech I want. Car makers say "consumers want these features"... no we fucking don't.
They had outdated back up cam with barely 360p output and basic cruise control , no one wants that old man lol they answer is better back up cam and better cruise control
Boomer 🤦♂️
Yes they do. You aren’t everyone. The majority in America are spoiled little so and sos that need some discipline instilled into them.
@@talisikid1618exactly this. The people have spoke and people DO want all these goodies and features, that’s why manufacturers make them.
Lemon Lawyer here in California. I have seen a noticeable rise in cases, which is direct correlation with unreliability and consumer dissatisfaction. Biggest culprits are GM, Stellantis, and Ford. But what is most notable is the number of EV‘s and hybrids our clients are driving. They make up over half of our cases. The race to put out the latest technology into keep up with the standards of going all electric by 2035 seem to be the root cause.
Love your channel and keep up the great work.
as a lawyer, you are part of the progressive machine. Are you now balking at EV and other mandates? Progressives love mandates. Are you conflicted?
The jeep dealer called my brother back and said something like "we had a problem with an employee and need to look at your car again".. sounded like total BS to me. I think the car is going back for the same reason multiple times and they are lying to avoid lemon law.
I like your self ascribed title of "Lemon Lawyer"
Agree car manufactures put more "stuff" than is actually needed, wanted, or used. The recent trend in full sized trucks (by every maker) is to reduce the cylinders (by two) going from V8 toV6 and V6 to V4 and adding the turbo in order to simply save one or two MPGs? Honestly a very bad decision, and this trend reduces pulling power (torque) and increase the compression on the engines. IF you really look at inventory on the lots (rot) you'll note the ones these dealers can't sell are the V6's w/turbos packaged in the Full sized trucks. Two that really stand out with inventory in my area (V6 turbos) are the Tundra and the F150 trucks. Longtime truck owners (that use a truck as a working tool) simply DON'T want them. Just for 1 or 2 extra MPG - nuts.
Many of us suspected this, thanks for putting a bow on it guys.👍
A Detroit TV station had a segment this morning about 1000's of F-150s sitting unsold because of quality issues. It wasn't anything new, but the comments are devastating. Most of them are saying it's a price issue before it's a quality issue, and that that combo is fatal.
Bought my 2015 Toyota Rav 4 new in Jan ‘15. 105k miles. To date zero issues. I will drive it till the wheels fall off. The best part is…no car payments since 2019!
I have 191,000 on my 2015 Rav. I'll drive it until it won't drive anymore!! No issues, other than tires and brakes! I've done all the routine maintenance. Coolent Flush, Tune ups. NO rust as of yet!
I have 140k miles on my GMC Sierra crew cab Z71, and I have zero issues. What's your point?
I have a 2012 Honda accord. 200k. No problems
I think we will find a very common theme here, Japanese vehicles last much longer with much less headaches.
Loving my 2017 Malibu LT it has Bose and leather and navigation. It’s had no issues!
My Toyota Avalon 2014 just hit 502k
Could have driven to the moon and back. That's awesome.

I'd like to buy a vehicle, not some bastardized computer/tv/car chimera.
Just buy an old car then and restore it. It will be the same price no chips
Better make sure you can get all the parts for your old car for the next 10 years. Get some attic stock.
.....and don't forget it spies on you as well.
I think a lot of people would like to have a car like that this a basic car without all the bells and whistles and including safety features I'll take my chances. But yeah I don't need cameras a 12 inch screen built into the dash and all those features I just need to go from point A to point B.
I bought a new Corolla and it strikes a great balance of tech vs simplicity. It has a simple, intuitive user interface and it drives nice.
we used to call these "Monday" or "Friday" cars.
Still do.
I'll give you a bit of history regarding my old 1996 Ram 1500 4x4. Still has the original engine and transmission. Early in its life I replaced the plenum gasket and plate on the intake with the aluminum plate kit from Summit racing. Never has blown the plenum gasket since. I have replaced the starter twice. Power steering pump once. Coil pack once. Alternator once. Replaced all the metal brake lines and the brake hoses. In 2015 I replaced the axles, bearings, U-joints. Front wheel bearings and all the front ball joints. Sort of a freshen up of things. Always do all the work myself. Fluids are always changed on schedule, including the brake fluid. Been a very reliable work horse. New dash and headliner in 2019 from LMC. New heater core last winter. That's about it for many years of service. And no truck payments all these years. I don't think a modern truck would be as reliable and easy to repair.
Edit...I replaced the air conditioning compressor once several years ago. Bought one new off Ebay. Charged it myself.
This is why I want a 4Runner. People love to hate on it because it’s “outdated” but it’s probably the best vehicle in terms of build quality and reliability that Toyota still produces in Japan.
I’d get a 4Runner in a heartbeat if their fuel economy was better
Yup but they are overpriced and get crappy mileage
I'll take one and I currently drive a seqouia
It was outdated in 2017 🤣🤣. It’s used the same drivetrain and same interior for more than a decade now. It’s too overpriced and being carried by the “reliability” meme. Buy an old Tahoe if you’re ok with old interiors and drivetrains and you’ll save a ton
Toyotas made in Japan stay in Japan. Toyotas sold in the USA are put together here, but the 4-runner is the best vehicle they make that will go for 300K plus easily.
I miss the days of just power steering/brakes/windows, AC and a CD player!
What's the DVD player for
I'm still riding 4 on the floor with an A. M. radio. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
@@666dynomaxporn 😂😂😂
U boomers lol old power steering was trash especially when u didn’t keep up with it , your brakes were smaller and trash and no one wants to roll up a window lol
If u wanna live in the 90s again there a way lol
@@666dynomax CD
Not just chips. A lot of technology has changed in the last three years as we have seen the closure for V-8 engines replaced by turbo's, Twin turbo's, and superchargers in cars and light trucks on smaller displacement engines and this has had an effect on the quality with added complexity for both hardware and software required to operate these systems. Pandemic issues also played a role as well. It is also political in a sense that the fuel mileage mandates are the underlying cause so there are a few issues causing the drop in quality. IMO
Interesting perspective! While I agree new cars can have more tech issues, not sure if a 109% increase is entirely accurate. Maybe consider mentioning reliable used car options or reliable new car brands based on data. Still, great point on complexity leading to more problems for some drivers. Thanks!
Still driving my 1980 Chevy. Runs like a dream.
Nice😂
Main reason for unreliability is car manufacturers have spent more money on spy tech and data collections for subscriptions that I will never buy than they have on building good vehicles period...it is a self made disaster...
Then they sell your data to your auto insurance provider!
Massachusetts banned Starlink in new cars for that very reason.
You are close. They have been passing on rising costs to buyers for about 100 years without improving the process with an aim to pass the savings on to the user. The want you to buy subscriptions because they know they can't milk you for more when you buy the car.
One car maker is bucking this trend. The average price of a Tesla Model 3 has decreased over the years, from around $66,000 in 2018 to $38,990 today. No dealer markup.
In order to ask the ridiculous prices they have to give the impression that its worth it. For example how much does a 15in touch screen in a model with the software cost them to produce? About 1/10th of what they’re asking people pay for the upgrade.
Overloading and over luxurifying them so people pay more for it. Its by design to maximise profit.
@@Jonnymule Some clarification. Net says Massachusetts has banned Subaru Starlink in new cars since the summer of 2021, due to the state's right-to-repair law. Although covered by a right-to-repair-law it is not a right-to-repair issue. "This law requires vehicle tracking services to be disabled by default without customer consent. Subaru and other automakers, like Kia, have been aggressive in resisting the law by turning off vehicle tracking services in Massachusetts."
Subaru Starlink and SpaceX Starlink are unrelated.
Love your interactions between both, easy to flow.
For 84 years healthy guy, buying a used car is big challenge,car without all unnecessary options, don’t have a favorite brand or type, I drive 50 miles/week, any advice would be appreciated.
I agree that quality control and even design is not up to par and there may be problems down the line. However, I bought a Nissan last year (a brand so many people say nasty things about). I had no problems with it the first 90 days of ownership. As far as I know, I have not had any major problems with it in my first year of ownership. (There may be problems brewing that I don't yet know about.) Snow occasionally got on a sensor and disabled it for part of my drive until it blew off. The malfunction light went on once, but then it was perfectly fine and disappeared. I think I did not have the gas cap tight enough. I now always push it hard until I hear a click. I did lose a small amount of coolant, which I replaced, and I'm keeping my eye on that to make sure that does not signal a larger issue. On the whole, the sensors work well on the car. Recently there was a recall on the driver's side airbag, but when I checked, my car seems not to be involved. I hope Nissan is giving me accurate info on that. Only time will tell if the CVT transmission holds up. I always worry about that.
Do a drain and fill on that cvt soon, and every 30k miles afterwards.
It is the long term reliability of the Nissan CVT transmission that most people have valid concerns about.
I had a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500 with 80k miles, still under certified pre owned warranty, that caught fire in August of 2023 due to a factory defect in the electrical. It took out a Tesla, a travel trailer, a house, a boat and my truck. The Fire started while the truck was parked in the driveway after towing the boat back home and sitting there for about 15-30 minutes. This was what the forensics report states from both third party and the fire chief. We’re still waiting to hear back from GM engineers to come back with their conclusion.
Ford had blower motors catching fire as well.
😂 I bet someone not buying American for a while
For instance, why do I need 5 different mood lighting options?
For sure. Like I said before I bought a 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 RST 5.3 that I lived pre COVID and it was a piece of crap. In 3 years and 19,000 miles three major engine problems including last one crack in the head and dealer service writer said was cause by cheap parts. Traded that sucker.
Buddy of mine bought a Ram 2500 brand new last year. It just randomly caught on fire driving down the highway. 🤦 Ram & Insurance fighting over who's responsible
My brother had the same problem with a RAM 3500 lucky for him that it was still under warranty but it took a while before they gave up and the dealership took it as a lost and paid the account off. He went and got himself a ford 4500 and hasn’t had any problems.
Insurance companies too have gone off the rails. My wife hit a deer in our 2013 camry resulting in $8000 worth of damage. Insurance wanted to fix it, but then they spent a month arguing with their approved repair shop about the cost to fix. Now they are raising premiums 22% across the board next year.
@@michiganman4398 Time to get a new insurance co.🙄

They’re all the same.
It is not the fact that cars are now computers on wheels that is driving buyers away. + It is the fact that legacy automakers have always told themselves; we sell iron and have no reason to develop in house software expertise. This is how they got here.
Ask VW about their EV software problems !
I was going to order a GT Bentley. But I wanted to order it, pick it up in England and drive it there and then ship back to my home here in the US. The factory wanted an extra 22,000 to “allow” me the privilege of watching my car being assembled and test driving it! No way folks. Bite me.
One point about EVs and scaling -- these very are mineral intensive products, with cost of mineral inputs a large proportion of the manufacturing cost. Mineral extraction does not "scale" like manufacturing. If you can mine a million kilograms of cobalt, scaling that to ten million does not cause unit prices to fall, but to rise. I think a lot of people haven't wrapped their heads around how mineral intensive EV batteries are, and they are in for a big surprise when they see costs going up, not down, as volumes increase.
There are some exotic features I'd be willing to pay extra for. Imagine the luxury of not having a computer screen on the dash, just full dial instruments in a cluster behind the steering wheel. I know it's a stretch, but how about cable heat and cabin airflow controls that didn't depend of software and electronic actuators that simply worked when you needed them to. I could go on and on.
There’s used cars like that on the market
Nothing built after 2019 is worth more than 2019 Prices. Millions of recalls with every car manufacturer. Millions of household appliances that lasted 1-2 years and died.
I stopped by a Ford manufacturing plant for a project. They said they have about a 20% absentee-ism on any given day. Meaning 20% of workers on the line are temps that just fill in whatever spot the regular worker didn't show up for. No wonder the vehicle quality is lower. They said this was the trend across the Big 3 since Covid.
Done on purpose, they work the system.
No one gives a shi anymore people have had enough being slaves 😂 similar statistics in uk in fact very high absenteeism . On the other hand you have people abusing benefits

Supplier issues was a big one for my employer. We saw more problems with the auto parts after we returned from covid.
I'm having a hard time finding a newer midsize SUV that doesn't have consumer reports of full transmission or engine replacements. So the problems aren't all Hardware software based... another one I come across a lot is water coming in from car wash or rain.. I have an 03 ES300 with a sunroof I've never had water soaking my floors or headliner. The only non-original Parts in my 03 Lexus is the alternator the starter and one CV axle 250,000 miles on it. They just don't make them like they used to
I just saw a video saying that auto manufacturers actually dont make money on new car sales but on expensive replacement parts for their used vehicles that are out of warranty
You can't test software issues on EV's for durability, it's reliant on upgrades and sometimes glitches happen when they rollout a new upgrade. Also there aren't many trained software mechanics who can properly check and maintain connection issues on used EV's
The graph shows people were reporting over one problem in their car in the first 90 days to less than 2 problems in their car in the first 90 days. I personally have had zero problems.
The manufacturer loses $6000 on every EV but the buyer loses 50% after he buys it. Good deal.
It's almost like it's not a good technology
Buy used before 2022 is my very best advise. All new vehicles have many issues.
2019...
Good luck finding a well kept vehicle, low mileage & at a decent price. That’s not even mentioning the APR’s on used vehicles.
@@Memo76ers Agree totally. All priced not too far off original MSRP. Only those with damage come close to a decent price.
@@breckfreeride Good year for some and bad year for others is 2019. I am going for the 2020 and 2021 year models cherry picking the ones with least issues. Not an easy task however to find good deals.
Had a used car dealer tell me there was a $500 fee if paying in cash (of which i never said i was) and i saw there was a "government fee" for $733 which i couldnt figure out what that included. His processing fee was 1100. what is the government fee?

@@garypope6382 the government does not mandate power mirrors, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power seats, air conditioning, heated seats, radio, infotainment, tinted glass, clear coat, alloy wheels, LED headlights...

Do you know how much weight is in all that stuff? Have you seen the sticker price for anything that doesn't come loaded with options? We used to have cars and trucks that came with 2 extras in addition to an engine and a manual transmission: a heater to keep the windows clean and keys to start it. And that was it. No cruise. No tilt. No radio. No air. No nothing. Just the bare bones. And we bought them by the millions!
They can but they don't want too since they also want to sell you the kitchen sink with extended payments too

huge spike from model year 2018-2020 had nothing to do with COVID or chip issues since those were all pre-covid. most recent increases are due to EV tech issues, primarily batteries.
There's a direct collaration with the introduction of Euro6 emissions equipment being introduced, at least here in the UK.

My new 2024 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE has zero recalls and I have had zero issues. I have already 2800 miles on it in two months since buying it brand new. I absolutely love getting 55-60 MPG.

What does politics have to do with your point? You had me up until that.
I am an electrical engineer and any unnecessary feature on the car that would keep it from basically going down the road is bad engineering. Intermittant problems will destroy these cars within 10 years. The engines will be fine , but the electronics will have flaked out.
I appreciate that sensitivity Ray, if I seen you driving by in that Bentley I would feel well... less than.
Yeah everything since 2020 reminds me of that scene in a Christmas movie where the elves are building the toys and they've been partying too much or something and all the toys just start falling apart and the assembly line just breaks down.
I agree, they stuff these cars with so much crap and do a pisspoor effort to make it work together or even work right in general and then say they will fix it with a software update that never comes. All I care about is power windows and locks, AC and a radio. Everything else is optional, don’t need parking radar or auto brakes or blind spot or anything else like that, stupid autobrake has randomly triggered before almost causing a accident and its extremely frustrating not being able to trust my car to not do anything stupid
Simply look at the recalls!
Actually I think Ray nailed it. They make everything so complicated now, with technology key, that almost every part made for cars now has more things that go wrong. Because we have more parts and sensors it's just more possibilities for failure. My job is to make fuel tanks. We have 3 blow mold machines and the two with more robots and more moving parts break down constatly. The one that runs best is the oldest machine with the least moving parts and sensors. I also think companies put production ahead of quallity because manufacturers charge subsidiaries large penalties for not meating their quota. That means factorie that produce parts for manufaturers are pressured into sending subpar products so they aren't billed exsorbinent penalties.
That sounds illegal to me !
I've had my Honda for a year and a half AND HAVE HAD 0 ISSUES.
What model ? I’m looking at the odyssey, I have a 2010 crv but I want more room, my crv has been great for 12 years. I’d keep it with the minivan but I don’t have room on my property for both
I would imagine increased cost also means less of a chance of letting a minor issue sliding to the when I have time pile.
My 2007 Nissan Pathfinder has 260,000 plus miles and still running strong. My wife's 2021 Chevy equinox has 2 major issues already. One of which was no longer under warranty and cost me 900$

A lot of the parts assembly is done in Mexico watch for your transmission comes from. Also check where your car was made on the door jam. Most all parts on Mazda are made in Japan unlike other cars.
Isn't CX30 made in mexico
There’s way more unnecessary crap on Newer vehicles these days it blows my mind. There’s tons of things to break and malfunction compared to vehicles 10 years ago

Brand new Toyota Sienna.... Had to change the battery (it froze), light in the back (not waterproof) and the doors sound like rattlesnake.... Won't buy a Sienna anymore ! It feels cheap inside and all parts feel plastic squicky
2023 Sienna has condensation in the oil if you make short trips too
idek what to do anymore i looking for a new car now and feel like i cant trust anything. I want either a Honda-Hyundai- Kia but not sure any of them are good
Same with washing machines
The old man is 100% right, manufacturers are adding too much stuff that not needed and
wouldn't be used.
I'm afraid to try the button marked "rear wiper" -- i mean how exactly is that going to work while you are driving?

I bet allot of those cars are the ones that was sitting waiting for chips. Cars are designed to be driven.
Do you have a video about how to get the best deals and what to say when leasing? Everything I’ve been finding on your page has been about purchasing.
It has everything to do with the UAW and the like being less professional, work ethics declining, and poor quality control. Couple that with cars being more expensive than ever….
So, I hope everyone is enjoying the new, improved DEI.........
I bought my nissan in 2019. I have had one recall for the backup camera. Last car I will ever buy.
Adding more complicated long term unreliable tech to overcome cell phone zombie drivers in every vehicle is crazy. I traded in a fully loaded SUV on a 2018 Tundra for the lack of tech in the dinosaur truck. I hated things like lane centering because I pay attention to driving and don't like the steering wheel moving against me. I expect long term reliability to go down because of these systems rather than the motor or transmission.
My 2006 Tundra is holding up fantastic, would like a change after 18 years and 250,000 miles but I am scared to take a chance.
Honestly nowadays even new Toyotas are getting more problematic with the introduction of hybrid turbo powertrains
If average loss per EV sales is $6000 then legacy makers are losing x3 more since Tesla is making more than $6000 profit each car.
What does a Ford that had exhaust fumes coming into the car , have to do with sensors and a computer in a car.
Only new vehicle in even thinking about is the chevy Trax.. but I would only buy it at 17 to 18000 tops . I know it won't be worth 10 grand in two years and who know how much trouble I will have with it. Warranty is great but sucks if your car is stuck in the dealership for repairs all the time. I'll probably by used 2017 - 2018 vehicle.
Are u even doing research like at all stupid ? lol
Chevy is trash and only boomer living in the past still believe it , the best used car is a Mazda , same price and it’ll actually last a lot longer lol
Most electronics are surface mount. The major things that will degrade and create issues with surface mount are vibration and moisture (software also becomes corrupted over time). They do seal the modules for moisture, at least the ones I have seen, but this is just a temporary fix as this also degrades over time. The government has mandated a lot of these so called 'upgrades' to make driving safer (they believe). I suspect the models after 2020 will begin to create very dangerous safety issues as these electronics age as they now have so much control over critical systems in the vehicle. EV's are a good concept but again they are over built with electronics where either the hardware or software can fail over time, in addition to battery technology that is a long way from usable in a vehicle (check the price to replace the batteries in an EV when they fail after a few years). In the governments 'wisdom' to promote safety I suspect these safety issues will emerge in coming years as the most dangerous we have seen in generations...
Not only are new cars less reliable and too expensive, now they help your auto insurance company raise your rates due to your driving habits.
One of the reasons we choose Tesla for our new car. They know how to do software, and their cars are reliable. They can fix things quickly with over the air updates. Its not perfect but we love it so far.
It appears the auto industry is taking a page from the RV industry…solution, buy a used one after the original owner debugs the product!
2:35 he got jokes haha
Pre-2020 cars are BAE got over 200k on my 2018 Hemi ram 😎
I purchased a 2023 Nissan Altima brand new in October 2022, January 2024 I started having transmission problems, February 2024 I had to have the transmission replaced (took a month for completion due to lack of parts). After a week back in my possession, it's having similar issues, and they are thinking it's either another transmission fault or an auto hold malfunction or the brakes are dragging due to a different issue, they have no idea. However, they don't have any loaner cars available, so when the transmission took a month to get replaced, I had to drive my son's car. Now they still have no loaners and told me to just drive it until they can get a loaner for me... that's been two weeks now... I have heard nothing from Cedar Park Nissan... I guess once I get fully stuck somewhere, and need to be towed, then maybe they will take care of the problem. Less than 11,000 miles.
Don’t buy trash next time lol cvt from Nissan equal trash any day of the week
Audi Q7 3.6 petrol 2010 …. Still going and handling awesome no matter what life throws at it
We need that chart broken down by manufacturer as this chart may be highly influenced by massive issues coming out of Ford and Stilantis. Other manufacturers may actually be seeing lower issues. Hard to say.
'18 Camry. Way too many problems to list, but the majority were all due to things Toyota purposely did to generate revenue for service departments. The driver facing software was atrocious as it was developed to suck us into paying subscription services (I'm a retired dev, so I understand more about this than most), and the internal operational systems were deliberately crippled to, once again, get us into the service center. One quick example; the electric water pump died. A simple expected failure, no big deal. Except for the fact that the system knew it was failing for, likely months, but didn't give any warning. After it failed, I was hit with a $1200 repair for simple water pump replacement!
It was easily accessible and took about 30 - 40 minutes to replace. But wait, there's more. I was informed that, somehow, there was not one single pump available in the whole city, except for the Toyota dealerships and they all demanded $550+ for the part. I got one shipped in from out of state for
