Heinz,

Very true.

In the past 10-years I have experienced: -

A power train failure on a new BMW X5 4.8is - the problem was sporadic but happened whilst driving the vehicle. After having the car for almost 3-months to repair the issue, BMW agreed to buy it back

ABS failure on a new Porsche 911

So many faults in the 3-years of Range Rover ownership (the car was new at time of purchase) that I cannot even document them all; however, for a start: full A/C failure 3-times, air suspension failure, SatNav failure, Bluetooth failure, dashboard rattles, etc, etc...

There are others but you are correct, modern cars are not free from issues.
