The engine in the car - it is the heart of a person, if there are problems with it, the machine starts to act up, and then completely comes into disrepair. Like people, cars may initially be born with a "heart defect", and it happens when designers back in the process of establishing the motor made a mistake that obviously turned the engine into a source of problems for the future owner. In this review, seven models of cars that were doomed to become unsuccessful acquisition.
1. 3 cylinder Mitsubishi
While some evaluators praise Mitsubishi Mirage, others meanwhile blamed it on all positions. The main criticism squall hit the 3-cylinder engine of 1.2 liters. Despite the relatively high - 100 Nm and 78 hp - car accelerates slowly, but fuel "eats" a lot of noise and it is very hard to create extra vibration.
2. NSU Ro 80
The model was born in the distant 1967. Sedan was fitted with a semi-automatic gearbox and applied to business class. But the joy of the designers and owners of newly made was short-lived, as the main flaw was soon revealed that lurked in the doctor's innovative design Wankel - rotary-piston engine rated at 113 hp Despite the fact that the engine power was an order of magnitude higher than conventional engines, it came under the great reliability doubtfully. The first serious problems with NSU Ro 80 began after 25 000 km, and after passing the same amount, the car needed a complete overhaul.
On this account in Germany, whereas there was a joke that this sedan owners greet each other with a wave of the hand, thus informing how many times have already changed the engine. Exacerbates the problem and a large fuel oil. All substandard engines repaired by the manufacturer warranty, but the next generation NSU Ro 80 had come out with the engine of the brand Ford. This fatal model was the last nail in the "coffin» NSU Motorenwerke, which after its failure went bankrupt and were bought by Audi.
3. cadillac V8-6-4
In 1981, Cadillac's designers decided to bribe their potential customers the opportunity to save on fuel. For this prestigious cars equipped with 8-cylinder V-engine with electric. Motor L62 was an absolute novelty - depending on the load, it can at times include 2 or 4 cylinders, which should significantly reduce the "appetite" in terms of vehicle fuel. Such an engine is running the scheme is successfully practiced today, but then the novelty expected failure.
Onboard computer turned weak to handle a large flow of incoming information that led to the "stupidity" of the engine. When the owners of the problem cars accessed by a workshop, they just disconnected one wire that was killing all the benefits of Cadillac V8-6-4 and made his usual 8-cylinder cars.
4. 2.0 and 2.5-liter engines Subaru
In 2015, atmospheric engines of 2.0 and 2.5 liters of Subaru disappoint their owners, and the reason for that was high oil consumption. At the manufacturer's instructions in black and white was prescribed norm - 500 ml per 1 000 km - but any car owner knows how to lead the financial costs of these figures. As it turned out, the reason for "gluttony" cars lay in the problems with the piston rings, which the manufacturer had hoped to hide.
In 2016 the factory Subaru recognized technical shortcomings and agreed not only to compensate motorists repair costs, but increase the warranty period. Then the representatives of the Japanese company popoteli pretty, repairing and changing set of defective engines.
5. Oldsmobile V8 Diesel
In the desire to please the customer has failed and popular General Motors, when in the late 1970s decided to equip its passenger car diesel engines. Then fuel prices jumped and the factory decided to restrain the appetites of their "iron horses". But instead of being used on cars already proven technology, General Motors set gasoline 8-cylinder V-engine, which is adapted for heavy fuel oil. In the end, the car owners have received hefty and also very weak engines.
The engine volume of 5.7 liters gave a total of 120 hp, while the aggregate volume of 4.3 liters could boast torque of 200 Nm and a 90 hp new design once the gasoline engine was completely unprepared for the high loads, resulting in engine failure just after 50 000 km run. Engine Oldsmobile V8 Diesel seriously "damped" reputation of diesel cars, for which reason the demand for them was very low for several decades, and the engine entered the automotive history as one of the most unsuccessful.
6. The 2.2-liter Dodge Charger 1981
Well paid and widely deployed advertising has done its job - the interest of buyers to the turbocharged engine in 1981 Dodge Charger has been preheated. But their enthusiasm quickly cooled down when the first problems were found. New Mopar volume of 2.2 was set and sports cars, and minivans, but the result was disappointing everywhere. "Crude" engine broke down regularly, and for its repairs needed serious repair. In fact, to correct their mistakes and make workable the engine, the Dodge engineers have spent a few more years.
7. jaguar V12
1954 was special for Jaguar - then they have developed and released its first ever 12-cylinder engine. Initially, it was built by the racing cars of Le Mans and in the serial production of the engine of 5.3 liters capacity began to appear in 1971. The first owners of sports cars have become a powerful engine Jaguar E-type and XJS and sedans of Jaguar and Daimler.
Amazingly, despite the fact that in 1970 the engine was found too heavy, it continued to produce and install a further 27 years, until 1997 the flesh. But even more surprising, since it is the number of defects in the motor itself, which has not been eliminated. The main motor weakness was in its insulation and high heat. It brought a lot of problems and wiring, which is regularly melted and caused the closure.
Before you buy a car, it is worth to get acquainted with the list of 10 cars that have not been tested and officially may not appear on some country road.
