Why 90% Of New MODERN CARS ARE GARBAGE (The Factory Secret)
The average new car costs $50,000. The average monthly payment is $749. And JD Power’s 2026 study just confirmed: vehicle problems hit 204 per 100 vehicles — the highest since the study was redesigned. Your car costs more and breaks more often. In this video, I expose the three factory secrets driving the reliability collapse: the software that doesn’t work, the engines failing at industrial scale, and the complexity tax that replaced simple systems with expensive ones. Plus, the three vehicles mechanics actually buy with their own money.
