when dealing with electronics thee is no way to tell when the partis going to fail. Car manufacturers make parts for the cheapest price that they think will give htem the longestservice. Although you had to tow the car vehicles today aremuch superior to the ones made even 15 yrs ago. They require less service such as tune ups, carb problems, etc.
