The modern automobile is safer, cleaner, more efficient, and more technologically advanced than anything that came before it. Yet those improvements have come at a cost. For many owners, mechanics, and independent repair shops, that cost is repairability.
I am not a mechanic and can’t fix cars, but I have found the same to be true for just jumping a car with jumper cables.
Where is my battery on my 08 Toyota Corolla? Right there. I can see it.
Where is the battery in the 19 Honda pilot? Under some bullshit, have no idea where it is without a YouTube video and even then you need baby hands to fit through the junk and reach it without taking anything out.
Where is the battery in the 19 Toyota hybrid? I think it’s under the trunk?? I don’t know because by this point I had given up and just called a tow truck and purchased a portable jumper for my 08 Toyota I was trying to jump with those two vehicles from my family.
I’m not buying a new car until it rots out from under me.
Regard jumping, i heard a lot of stories people jumping recently made car and destroyed some component. How true is that i’m not sure but i’m sure not willing to experiment it.
From science pov: It is outrageous bullshit.
