The magic 8 balls that when 60% of owners were polled, they said it was correct 80% of the time? those magic 8 balls?
I know what you mean and as the old saying goes "Just because it is new, does NOT mean it is good!".
Whatever happened to physical A/C controls? I mean, who wants a failure prone motor with plastic gears operating a "blend door" when that can be accomplished with simple crank and wire hooked up to a lever? It is overcomplication for the sake of it just to make money when it fails. Talk about forced obsolesence and known designed in failure points!
NOT being political... BUT!
The problem is we now live in a throwaway society, not the "make do and mend" of prior generations, let alone having to fight for the "right to repair" B/S going on.
I will stick to older vehicles that don't need a computer to tell you they just sh4t the bed and that you can repair in your driveway yourself!!.
