...Its actually more of a nightmare to remove the engine. You have to
disconnect the exhaust system, the motor mounts, the transmission,
geeze - so many things will come up. You can leave the tranny
connected - depending on exactly what car were talking about, but
sometimes youll have to remove part of the front bodywork, radiator,
etc....bla, bla, bla per the Mopar Man

So long as the public doesnt demand R R the entire power train in 60 minutes flat by a two man team, DM is going to keep peddling the four wheel abominations fools continue to lay down hard-earned cash for.

A clutch replacement should be a 15 minute drop in.

The fuel injectors should not take more than a minute each for access and individual testing for function.

Need I go on? Your $30,000 "investments" are essentially throwaways after the warranty runs out. They are just too expensive to fix, if they can be fixed. I say that because design deficiencies keep rearing their ugly heads like fatally flawed electronic trashmissions. Imagine that, cars have been around for 120 years and they havent been perfected yet! I know that to be a fact because with each new model year, the factories tell us theyre new and improved!!

Expect the new technology to come along in the near future to make cars even more expensive and even more unreliable. Fuel cells, hybrid drive, engine-generator-motor drives, gasoline-battery drives, and last, but not least, sunlight-pedal powered fabric-over-frame models like the Cheks used to make behind the Iron Curtain.

With another words buy an old car. I know, it's a nightmare just to change
light bulb on Audi cars. This all just because workshops can make easy
money.

Yea, you're right.

That explains Chrysler waranty going from 3 years / 36k miles to 7
years / 70k miles in the last few years...
That is in response to competitive pressures, not as a result of any
inherent
improvement build quality. Anyway it's a joke, all they are doing is
tacking
on an extra $1000 or $2000 to the cost of the car to cover the warranty,
it's no different than 3 years ago when the cars were $2000 cheaper, and
people bought them with 3 year warranties then spent an extra $2K for
the extended warranty. All of the automakers are doing this because they
have all now managed to raise the price of a new car so high that most new
car buyers end up spending the rest of their lives making a $300 a month
car payment. (because by the time the car is paid off, it's worn out)

The system today is little more than a subscription service to essentially
permanently "rent" a vehicle from an automaker. The automakers are
doing today exactly what the banks do with residential property.
