90% of issues in new cars are electronic parts, mostly sensors. Sure YOU can replace them but the car won't work unless you take it to a dealer and get the computer reprogrammed for an outrageous hit. Replaced an oxygen sensor on a 2022 Ford. 60 bucks for the part, an hour for me. 250 for the dealer to reprogram because the car ran like shit. Took them 5 minutes. Insane.
