I used to work with a guy whose base model Lancer died because he literally didn’t know you had to change the oil. At some point I’m not even sure guant warning lights can help some people.

There’s also the fact that poverty is a thing and places like the US, which has a LOT of it, also seem deadset on eliminating and obstructing affordable and good public transit. Many people don’t have clapped out garbage because they want to but because they can’t afford to fix it.
