Several recent-model Ford engines have a wet timing belt (a belt, not a chain, that is inside the engine and continually soaked in oil), and some even have an oil pump driven by a wet belt.

That's basically an engine with a planned self-destruct designed in right from the factory.

Found On road Dead (FORD)

I remember the commercial “Ford has a Better Car” to which the reply would be “But Chevy Has a Better Car”!

Fix Or Repair Daily

I always preferred Found On Road Dead. (Too much redundancy in Fix/Repair)

Fuel pumps are new technology so this is to be expected.... sarcasm...

Modern cars:
Doors that cannot be unlocked if the battery dies.
Hide the inside door handle too.
Steering wheels not attached by mechanical linkage <-— !!!!
A/C that is not as cold as past refrigerates. I saw a video of a a/c sensor gone bad that cost over $300 dollars for the oem part.
If car damaged they cannot be repaired cheap anymore as the whole body was stamped out in a few pieces.
Electrical nervous system where if a headlight bulb goes out it can cost hundreds if not over a thousand to fix. Or misdiagnose what is wrong due to bad sensors.
Vehicles being tracked and your conversations recorded when in use and they can shut off the vehicle remotely say on voting day and you are a republican or some politician decides they don’t like what you posted at Free Republic.
