Most all cars built after 2004-2006 are purposely built as one time use, built to fail and replace. Deleted transmission, or oil dipsticks , other things like that, designed to make servicing difficult and expensive. This trend really started at least in the mid 1970s, when subassemblies in all things mechanical became fused shut from the factory, preventing replacement of individual components. I don't like this, and would much rather drive an old car , even if money wasn't an issue.
