Plastic for cooling sucks.

Sounds like you must be an engineer?
I work on vehicles daily, and the newer they get the more I hate them. From overcomplicating things and sensors EVERYWHERE (we got along for How many years without TPMS for instance) and I need a check engine light to tell me the gas tank door is open even though the cap is on and tight ... Why?
I need a CEL to tell me something is up with the radio which has nothing to do with the car getting down the road... Why?
While cheapening everything else. These plastic so called "bumpers" are ridiculous as is the idea that the whole "bumper" fascia has to come off of some cars making a simple bulb replacement a 2 hour ordeal? Today's suspension sucks, I hate cam phasers. The 2021 F150s I've had in will not allow me to open the door to "eyeball" things and line up easier when putting one on a lift, they will put themselves in "park" before I move 2".
I despise these automatic door locks. I should be able to decide if and when I want the doors locked NOT have my Durango determine that for itself.... When I come out of the store with armloads of groceries and drop them because the damn thing locked itself last time I went over 15 mph, I hate it.

And whoever decided it was a good thing to make wire insulation that attracts varmints oughta be hung at town square at high noon. What do all of these have in common? ENGINEERS!!!!!!
And whoever thought putting an engine in the engine compartment sideways ... Should be hung right next to the one who specc'ed out the wiring insulation. Have to pull a manifold to do a damn tuneup? What a crock. And people wonder why I bought a pick up with a carbureted slant 6???? Gee I wonder why.

Good grief man.

Yeah, doesn’t seem like you understand design or engineering at all. Like, not even a little bit.

Some fun tidbits for you

-most automatic door locking systems can simply be turned off if you know how. For example, on a ‘99 Durango
-
1. close all doors
2. Place the key in the ign. and cycle the key from the off to on position for a total of four times ending in the on position (Don't start the engine)
3. press the drivers side power door lock switch to lock the door within 30 seconds
4. you'll hear a single chime when programming is completed.
5. to reactivate, repeat above steps
Easy right?

-TPMS sensors are legally required equipment since 2008, that’s not the engineers fault. But properly inflated tires give better fuel mileage, handling, stopping etc too. A little history
What Is The History Of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems?

-you can’t open the door in drive because some stupid bastard did something stupid, got hurt, and then sued the car manufacturer. The response was some lawyer telling some engineer to make it so the doors don’t open unless the car is in park. Again, the moron and the lawyer are the problem here, the engineers just wrote the programming

Honestly, your whole post sounds like an old man complaining about his VCR blinking the wrong time and blaming the engineers. It’s not their fault the old boy hasn’t learned to set the time.
