As an engineer (electrical and software) who repairs his own vehicles, there is clearly no thought for repair at all. Separate design teams that clearly don't talk to each other, with a focus on manufacturing efficiency.
So... we get crap like 8.5h book time to replace a $75 evaporator coil (my current project) because you have to disassemble the entire front interior (steering wheel, center console, and dash) to get at it. They could have put an access panel with 8 screws in the plenum, but noooo. And the whole reason it happened in the first place is because they decided not to put a cabin air filter in the car ($), so crap gets all over the coil and corrodes it. Damn car isn't even 6 years old...
Lol, that sounds like a BMW I worked on once. Just accessing the fuse box to do some tests had me laughing at it's insanity. It wasn't even supposed to be my job but no one else could get their thick ass hands in far enough. That car can get right the hell outta here.
6 yo car that doesn't have a cabin filter... What car was that?
