Its unbelievable how trash vehicles are today

[Scarrdbutsmartr]

I have a 2019 GMC AT4 6.2 in the past year my repair bills have totaled over 15k.

Tailgate repair
Back window repair
A/C repair/replacement
Cams/lifter replacement
Brake replacement (not due to basic/common wear/maintenance)

My sister had to have her engine replaced in her Kia.
My father had to have his transmission replaced.


We are probaly at 30k between the three of us in ONE year. These arent high mileage cars. My truck has the most miles of any of the vehicles and is the oldest at 42k on a 2019.

Everything is garbage these days...My neighbor has the new model of Tundra that stays in the shop so the Japanese cars arent a safer bet.

Rant - off.

Yep all of them are **** lmao. That's what happens when you have low wage workers that are prob on drugs and unionized so they can't be fired building them. That or built in Mexico. I think the only quality cars at this point are porsches srs. Even japanese cars are no longer reliable!!! Toyota went to **** and so did Honda.

Should’ve got a Silverado op. 2021 RST, not a single repair so far, not even the battery. Ded srs.

Can’t say that for the BMW tho, lol.

I just sold my 2017 Prius... zero repairs needed in the past 7 years...

[LtGoose]

Well your problem is you're buying vehicles made after 2012.

stop buying trash

I have a 2017 vw gti, made in mexico. i came from jap cars before so i was a little worried but no mechanical/major repairs at all just basic maintenance. its got some minor issues, its got a small leak from the wiper fluid container, its a pain in the ass to get to but ill look for it some day, in the mean time i just fill it half way which seems to be below the leak line.

it also leaks a small amount of freon over time, i have been trying to find the leak point with dyes but no luck, i know it will cost out the ass to have a shop do it so i just refill it every few months. ill probably sell it without ever fixing the small leak.

Cars have been suffering from overcomplexity and electronics overload. It's been making them unreliable. Cars peaked around the early-mid 2010's, good cars now a days are a real exception.

So what about the other thousands of cars that didn't have any issues lol.

Yeah I've got a 2021 Toyota Highlander. Some of the "advanced" features on it drive me crazy. I don't like the handless back hatch open. It's slow and I want the option to open and close it myself. Also if the car is running you just can't open it. So fukking retarded. Then the seat belt indicator is loud and annoying. If I'm on a road I have my seat belt on. But if I'm driving between different stores in a giant parking lot that connects a lot of stores I'm not wearing it.

From what I've read that's the tip of the iceberg though, some cars have some way more annoying/complicated features.

I have a 2016 ford lariat, and it’s a pos tbh . Power door lock died at 18,000 miles , seat belt quit retracting fully at probably 10,000 miles . Just a fk’n joke , and a 70K joke too boot.

Should have saved a fortune and kept my 84 GMC , never had an issue
