    @@jimm8596 I agree, changing spark plugs in some vehicles is challenging. I have a 2008 Toyota Sienna, it has a V6 transverse engine. I had to remove the intake manifold in order to change the sparkplugs on the other side of the engine. It was a pain because Toyota in addition to the rest of the bolts holding the intake manifold, Toyota used a little piece of metal holding the back of the intake manifold that it was hard to see and reach for me. After some busted knuckles later on a cold winter evening, I was able to replace all six sparkplugs. I also have a 2015 RAV4 and the four sparkplugs are easy to remove. But I used to have a 2014 Nissan Sentra and a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a V8 engine. Both vehicles required a special thin wall sparkplug socket. The Nissan Sentra uses a 14mm and the Jeep Grand Cherokee uses a 16mm. I had to bite the bullet one time with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and I paid around $400 to the Jeep/Chrysler stealership back in 2014 when I bought that used POS Jeep because I was in a hurry, I wanted to use the Jeep for a road trip. The so called "certified mechanic" at the stealership cracked one of the new sparkplugs and never say anything. The Jeep had a hardly noticeable misfire and stealership refused to accept their mistake. After that incident, I decided to change my own cars sparkplugs and to buy the necessary sparkplugs tools, vehicle manual and watch few KZread videos to get the job done. After you change your vehicle sparkplugs you feel the vehicle with more power and more fuel efficient. It is cheaper if you change your vehicle sparkplugs including the purchase of parts and tools.

    You Wish, "... Electric is supposed to be more reliable ..." Operative word: "supposed" to be The electric power steering control unit (computer) in my 2014 Ford Focus failed at 15,000 miles. Simple little printed circuit board "should be" easy to replace, right? For some reason the whole rack must be replaced as a unit, which requires the whole front subframe (engine, trans, suspension -- everything) to be lowered out from under the car to remove the old rack. Engineers these days apparently optimize their designs to minimize the cost to produce the cars, not to maintain them.

"We can get this other engine 2% cheaper - it makes maintenance on other components near impossible without half dismantling the car, but we won't have to worry about that - they likely won't fail in warranty. So the cost will be someone else's problem." And this mentality is what undermines confidence in brands.
