Getting the right power steering sensor for our Hyundai I10 - a high volume model - was such a nightmare that our dealer finally took apart a steering column from a new I10 from their inventory to repair ours... Good service, but it just goes to show legacy automakers don't have this fully covered.

My old Civic needed a new radiator twice. The first was pulled from a junkyard as 'it was cheaper that way and it was a waste to put a new radiator in an old car'.
The second radiator was new though, put in by a better dealer and served my car well for another 7 years or so. The repair was cheaper than the first, including the new part...

Half of the issues I've had with my cars were engine related. None of those would have happened with an EV.
