Used car reliability guides

The failure-prone engines and transmissions every used-car shopper should know about — compiled from NHTSA recalls and investigations, class-action settlements, manufacturer service bulletins and warranty extensions. dascar checks every search result against this list automatically, so the lemons get flagged before you fall for one.

These guides describe documented, model-wide patterns — they are guidance, not a verdict on any individual car. A well-maintained example with records can outlive the statistics; always get a pre-purchase inspection.
