Its funny about new vehicles. They are really quite great until all the electronic gadgets start failing in 5 years or less. Slowly all those expensive controllers fail. My friends taurus, the cooling fan was controlled by the pcm (or some other robot), pcm failed to turn on the cooling fan, caused a severe overheat issue, ended up blowing the head gaskets, he knows nothing about cars and ignored the temp gauge pegging out all the time.
Most modern automatics are so prone to failure that you can look up most any car with an automatic and read horror stories about failures. I too am seriously considering an older Mopar car with an OD manual transmission. I want NO ROBOTS controlling my transmission, cause they are dicks!
