[quote=Anonymous]I am a second owner of a 2020 popular car and we are not even at 70k miles but have had 3 major issues, one of which may require an engine replacement. I am so frustrated. The last new car I bought in 2011 went 100k with zero issues.
Do cars just suck now, like everything else? Washers and dryers used to last decades - in fact we are still using ours that are over 20 years old. And the “high efficiency” LGs and all that last maybe 5 years. Toyotas and Hondas used to also last a very long time, but it seems like even they are not being made as well any more.

I read that my engine issue is due to a fault with engine design possibly related to tightened emission standards, and that this is a known issue with this model. Similar to the auto stop feature, I wonder if there is really any net positive to the environment when some of these features cause parts and cars to have to be replaced more often.

I am considering ditching my 2020 car for something more reliable. Are there any small-medium SUVs being made now that are going to be reliable?[/quote]
