As an automotive engineer I can say, I'm completely appalled by manufacturers rushing to produce new models just to cope with competition, when we tell them this new design needs the test of time, they say we're not being innovative, its sad that consumers are now having to do extensive research before buying a car and not may of them do.

Problem is you start off with a complex design that is based on a previous design right from the sketch and make it ultra complex. Blame it on the project manager or your supervisor

There's no amount of research that will help you with a brand new engine in a new car though. Gotta hope for the best. There's no way when that Wenkel engine came out for instance that a new car buyer could predict the seal would be wearing out every 30k miles...it only takes one defect to ruin an engine.

You're exactly right. Ever-tightening CAFE standards demand almost annual power train redesigns. It may not be a problem much longer though, if idiotic ideas like banning internal combustion engines outright keeps gaining steam.

I don't care how good they make engine oil, I'd never ever drive a car for 15k miles before changing it. These intervals are just marketing gimmicks leaving the buyer to pick up the tab in years to come.

Have to agree with you, here in AU most manufacturers have gone from 10K to 15K between oil changes, it’s a bit too long. Happily I have our Holden (GM) Commodore with the LS3 6.2L V8, love it, and they are so strong. Try to have its oil and filter changed every 10k, it’s worth it in the long run. Cheers.

Definitely. My dad had a 750IL which he thought he got a good deal on in the 1990s. Though it had a huge V12, it also had insane issues, the catalytic converters got so hot they melted and fused together no fewer than three times before he sold the thing (each time the repairs cost > $6,000) and decided to swear off imports for a while. For a man who used to buy Mercedes, to end up going with Fords and a Jeep later in life, the BMW seemed to earn a dark mark in my mind. He did at least buy my mom a Mercedes station wagon again before he passed away, but that BMW was the most expensive vehicle for unexpected maintenance that I have ever been that close to personally.

Ya their 4.0 could run forever. Unfortunately I had a liberty renegade with a 3.7 that was a pile of crap.

I’ve had multiple vehicles with the 2.4 EcoTec and to be honest, I’ve never had any of these issues with them. We bought a 2008 Pontiac G6 used back in 2012 with 40,000 miles on it. We still drive it today, having 145,000 miles on it. I’ve had to put one catalytic converter (pre-cat attached to the exhaust manifold as the car has two of them) and I replaced the VVT solenoids, once. Other than that, routine maintenance, oil changes, and proper flushes. Car still runs strong today. We also had a 2014 Chevy Equinox that we put 40,000 miles on it until we turned it in; but only because my wife was pregnant with our third child and we needed something larger. The only repair to that vehicle was also the VVT Solenoids once(which are cheap and very easy to do). Other than that, regular oil changes and routine flushes. My parents even have a 2014 Chevy Captiva Sport with the 2.4 EcoTec and have put over 100,000 miles on theirs with no major repairs. The shop I take my work car to (it’s a fleet vehicle, I generally do most repairs to my own vehicles) was talking about the same issues with vehicles with the 2.4 EcoTecs. Everything from oil consumption to timing chains as well. I mentioned well that’s strange, I’ve never had issues with any of them I drive. They laughed and asked, “Do you change your oil regularly”? I stated yes, and they responded, “That’s why”. A majority of the engine issues experienced on 2.4 EcoTec is not from poor design, but rather poor maintenance scheduling. I’m not saying that some people who do proper maintenance don’t experience the same issues, but many of them are actually avoidable.

Head gasket blew at 122k, air conditioning clutch, 6 belt tensioners, 3 crank sensors, 4 camshaft sensors, transmission at 212 k . One time the lights wouldn't turn off until I disconnected the battery. The shifter interlock broke after 4 years so I rigged a piece of plastic to hold it down with the cover piece.

i have a similar case. Mercedes B Class from 2005, with 2.0 Petrol 5 Gear Manual. Everything is untouched, still runs smooth and Silent after almost 20 years. Robust Engine.

Good video and information! My 2013 VW GTI 2.0 TSI engine has been fantastic, but I believe VW/Audi had a few years to work out the bugs. At 148k miles, the engine has only needed the ignition coils that you mentioned. I can go 10K miles per oil change (mostly freeway) and only burns 1 qt in that time. I do know I was relieved to find that 2012 was the last year of timing chain tensioner issues! I believe a recent complaint of these TSI engines is an intake manifold leak which will cause the Check Engine (MIL) light to come on due to the unmetered air causing a leaning condition at idle. Not a mechanical issue, but still a problem. Overall I have been thrilled with my first German car. I'd buy another GTI in a heartbeat if I were in the market.

The TSI manifold has a swirl air butterfly near the intake valves. The plastic gets play on the shaft. When the ECU can’t control the shaft via feedback to the position sensor. The check engine light comes on. Replace the whole manifold assembly.

My experience is very similar. I have a 2013 VW Tiguan with a 2.0 TSI that has 164K miles currently. Two of the coils failed at around 150K. I changed the first, then the other three when the second failed a month later. It burns about a quart of oil every oil change (@ 10K), and I have to top it off every few weeks, but that's normal for most cars I've had with high mileage. I keep a little in the back just in case I need it. And I have a persistent 0299 code from the waistgate flap on the turbo not sealing well (apparently they can deform over time from heat), but it's mostly just a nuisance code that I clear and forget. This little car has been a workhorse for me.

I received a notice from VW that they're extending my warranty on my 2013 VW CC to 120k but only if the CEL comes on AND it's the plastic intake manifold leak problem....This thing has been a headache the last 3 yrs. I bought it from Avis at 26k miles. It was sill newish until the water pump started leaking and the PCV breather started causing misfires and one fuel injector failing. I didn't realize these TSI engines need a carbon clean every 50k and it's not for the faint of heart. Mine hesitates on stepping on the gas and still does after replacing the breather assm. I've ALWAYS used Premium fuel, but who knows what the renters used...no doubt regular unleaded.

How about, “These cars quite likely won’t last X miles”?

Be careful, this and most other videos are based on one man's opinion, and he can't possibly have owned or driven all those cars to know whether they're any good or not. Most engines fail because of lack of maintenance, nothing else. One thing I will say is that any engine under 1.6 litre or so that has had a turbo fitted to make up for the lack of power, such as in the Ford Escape featured, isn't likely to last because they're underpowered and you're putting too much strain on the engine. The turbo will compensate for a while but long term, don't expect them to stick around. Note that there are no official stats given to back any of this up.

The reason they wear out is not designed in, its an inherent fault of specific rotary engines that the design and operation of the engine creates poor heat balance,one side being much cooler than the other,the resulting difference in thermal expansion across the engine results in misalignment or components therefore creating tolerance issues and accelerated wear. My cousin bought an RX8 unseen as a non runner believing she could fit some plugs and coil packs and be a winner,the rear casing was so distorted from heat imbalance that the rotor tips had smashed causing intermittent engine lock up just on the starter. It was an effective way to turn her £2500 plus about £500 on parts and recovery into the £300 the scrap man gave her for it👍

same goes for the new Chrysler hemis. total problems

Escape's bad engine started with the 2013 model. Hundreds of them, mine included, developed cracks in the block at the #3 cylinder. Happened to me at a little over 69K miles. $8,000 for a remanufactured replacement. At about 95K miles the transmission went out. Another $3K. So far i have spent 50% of the original cost of the car on repairs. Plus there are problems developing that are caused by the shoddy work done at the dealers.

I own a 2014 Escape with a 1.6 Ecoboost. Never had any issues, but I also follow the service intervals to a tee and also change my oil every 2,500 miles. I'm sorry you've had issues with yours, but I'm going strong so far at 118k miles.

10:10 Had that one, 2014 STI, engine blew up @ 31,000 miles. Subaru replaced it, but I dumped the car just in case.

Thank you for warning ticking time bombs! Appreciate!

Yeah the N63 is infamous in the car world. Great when they're working right (one of the smoothest and most linear TT V8s I've driven) but require constant attention to address oil/coolant leaks, injector issues, seals drying up because of the high heat and oil burning.

Unfortunately JLR has apparently not learned how bad that engine is, so they put it in the newest Range Rover. Generally poor electronics + a pretty bad engine= a disaster of a car. To make matters worse, BMW recommends servicing every 15k miles when ideally service intervals shouldn't be more than 10k miles...even 10k miles is pretty much, I'd say every 5k miles. It would just make issues with the engine much worse and more expensive to fix.

4.3 Litre seems crazy big for European Standards. In the 80,s and 90,s the Biggest Engines where the 2.0 Petrol, and most People Buyed a 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.4 or 1.6 or if they are a bit more rich, 1.8 or 2.0 Engine. Everything above where for Enthusiasts, Sportcars or Powerhouses.

I agree with all of your poor engine vehicles except the 1.6l ecoboost. I have 170k on mine and if taken in for the coolant upgrade is trouble free.( recall) no charge. This engine has cost me a total of $175.00 for an evap hose assembly in repairs. This does not include maintenance items like plugs, oil and filters. But I maintain my vehicles and change oil before manufacture recommended intervals.

@@JonnyRicter thats the issue. Alot of owners don't maintain them. I had a guy in a ecoboost f150 and didn't change the oil and he finally brought it in just to find the dipstick looking like it's been used as toilet paper after a bad night at taco bell. Although I fucking hate doing oil changes on the eco boost trucks.

The 1.6 was a good engine, and the 2.0 probably is with the new block. They replaced the 1.5 with 1.5 3 cylinder which seems to be much better too.

I traded in my 1.5L Ecoboost Fusion with 140.000 miles in the odo and never had a problem, I done oil changes very early, every 5k miles using Aimsoil Signature series and installed a catch can @ 3000 miles from new, I spent a lot of money in countless oil changes but oil is cheap engines are not.

My uncle drove a Dodge Omni Charger to 400,000 +. However, I'd like to think with the effort put into the maintenance, maybe he could have had a 1,000,000 mile Toyota instead, likewise to the effort of the Fusion.
