Most of this was hardware problems not software malfunction. I don't recall any pre mid-1990s car breaking down because of software.

This is called late-stage capitalism. All car models now are the same in different sizes. I went to car dealership can couldn't tell if a BMW car was 5 series or 7 series.
Most surprising is how consumers are willing to keep buying faulty products like its the norm. I seriously do not understand people who buy Range Rover or BMW for high price when they know in 3 year time it will sell for like 30% of its original price and will be taken to the dealership on monthly basis to be fixed. Meanwhile, I have 1998 toyota that has been driven daily and still works with the cheapest spare parts.

Always find it bizarre that someone living in late-stage capitalism doesn't understand late-stage capitalism.
Middle classes are buying status and lifestyle, not reliability, like some farmer.
