Modern Engines: Built to Die Young? The Truth Revealed In this video, we dive into a hot topic: why modern engines are often built to “die sooner” than their predecessors? If you’re passionate about cars, engine technology, or simply curious about manufacturers’ practices, this video will give you a detailed look at the reasons behind the durability of modern engines and why some are built to last less than those of the past. Ultra-Modern Engines and Their Reliability The automotive industry has made impressive strides in recent decades with ultra-modern engines, promising performance, fuel economy, and cutting-edge technology. However, the question is: are these engines really built to last? Some experts and savvy drivers are finding that many modern engines are not as reliable as they are thought to be. Unreliable engines are a major concern for drivers, who often end up with early breakdowns or costly repairs. When it comes to the worst car engines, some models stand out with recurring problems that affect their lifespan. The Worst Engines to Avoid and How They Affect Your Budget Some brands, despite their reputation, are responsible for particularly unreliable engines. Among the least reliable engines, we often find models that have manufacturing defects or major design problems. The diesel engine, while long synonymous with robustness, is no exception to this rule in some cases. Drivers seek to avoid the worst engines available, often because of their high maintenance costs and their propensity to fail prematurely. Which brands and models should you avoid? Planned Obsolescence: A Major Problem in the Automotive Industry The term planned obsolescence refers to the strategy of designing products so that they do not last as long as they could. In the automotive industry, this translates into technical choices that leave certain engines vulnerable to premature wear. Recent models show how this planned obsolescence in the automotive industry has become a reality, resulting in new vehicles already breaking down after only a few years. This raises an important question: How long do engines last today? The Causes of Your Car's Planned Death There are a number of well-known causes that can cause an engine to fail faster than expected. One of the biggest culprits is **planned death**, often caused by weaker engine components and poor maintenance. Practices such as cutting costs by using lower quality plastics or parts increase the likelihood of engine failure in the long run. Additionally, modern engines are sometimes designed to require the driver to invest in costly repairs to maintain peak performance. Why Some Engines Don't Last That Long There are many factors that can cause engine damage: things like design failures, using poor quality fuels, improper oil changes, and frequent overheating. As a result, some engines, even major brands, experience a decline in reliability after a few years of use. If you are wondering “which engines to avoid” Brands to Avoid: A Matter of Reliable Track Record Some brands have been in the news for the questionable reliability of some of their engines. These brands to avoid are often those that have been involved in massive recalls or are regularly singled out for recurring problems affecting engine performance and durability. Planned obsolescence is sometimes a determining factor in the decision of some manufacturers to reduce the lifespan of their engines. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ RELATED VIDEOS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Videos that may interest you on the car buying guide: 1.
