Its not just "unreliable", the new cars are computers on wheels. They own the software.

The active fuel management is what made so many GM V8s unreliable.

The 5.4s only really sucked from 05-09

I’ve watched that mechanic in the blue polo's channel, and their experience with brand-new Chevys is alarming. They’ve documented multiple engines arriving straight from the dealer with under 20 miles on them that were already catastrophic failures. One grenaded with only 8 miles, and another arrived off the transport truck already making noise; upon teardown, they found the crankshaft was Way out of spec and had already shredded the bearings. It really seems like Chevy’s quality control has completely vanished—it's unacceptable for brand-new factory engines to be that unreliable.

He meant to say, “Any non-Toyota or Honda brand.” There I helped him out.

I keep hearing about these supposedly bad 5.4 liter engines from the early 2000s, and then I speak to people still driving these trucks with them and they swear by it.

5.4 was a great engine. Needed more plug threads on engine. But if tightened to specs, no problems. It was the owners, not the engine. So many with 300,000 + miles and still pumping.

The 6.2 and all V8s with cylinder deactivation are sketchy but where the real heat should be is the Tacoma's and Tundras that are tearing their engines and transmissions apart while delivering less power at lower mpg

I have a 7.4 and never replaced anything. New is not always better.

OK, so approximately 3% of the 6.2’s will have a problem in their lifetime. Meanwhile, Ford has 6 million engines It will not even do warranty work on

I recently bought a 99 Toyota Tacoma with a 6" lift and with 35/12.50 Super Swamper Boggers with 60,000 miles on it for $6,000 best vehicle I've ever owned
