Its All New Cars ,10-15 years ago when all the locaal corner garages closed , and the govt began enforcing car standards , the stealerships knew they would have the consumer by the short hairs , There is very little profit on the current sale of a new car , and due to tech they know you are going to have to come in for service. Unless you have thousands of dollars in test equipment and tools. Thanks to engineering the known failure interval for most any part of Any newer car is a known scientific tested and designed fact , akin to a light bulb , 1200 hours or 5 years. Its a shame really , but thats how they now stay in business . They all are junk , especially automatic transmissions , the worst thing for overdrive is a hill or incline ,its the reverse leverage on the drivetrain , and every other part in the car is made as light as possible to get the maximum fuel mileage . Ut takes energy to move that mass of iron , they are built as light as possible , 1/3 the body is aluminum or alloys , 1/ is wiring sensors , computers , rubberhoses , plastics , some new tech cars weigh more than a car from 20 years ago thanks to electronics and anti smog equipment , and to reduce emissions they Run them Hotter than an older motor would tolerate , Not that the new ones sustain it any better or longer , but by then the warranty is over.
