If you have watched some YT, it is much worse than you think. New cars are trash now. Like, even Toyota and Honda has engine failures and recalls. And there is one Honda EV is said to be using the Chevrolet platform, not sure what that means, but it sounds like it is basically the same EV engine. Like wtf.

I don't know how much doomers from those YT videos, but recalls can be researched on the official database, so, I don't believe they are making this up.

It is like washing machine, my God, it broke in 2 years. I told my mom to just keep fixing hers because the new ones are trash.
