Every car maker has had issues with a component(s), engines and the like. There are many forums, web sites, etc that will tell you to stay away from this year or that year, avoid this engine or that for multiple reasons. Sometimes an OE will be ask a Tier 1 to look into a component design because of premature wear or failure.
I don't get into the why or how.
I take my Porsche to a local dealer who has 2 free clinics every year. It is meet/greet. free inspection, talk to the mechanic and the like. You get to talk cars, see the new models and have lunch. I have known the mechanic who works on my car foe well over 15 yrs. He knows 944s like the back of his hand, I told him I was interested in a used Cayman and asked him what year(s) are the best and which ones to avoid. He first response was "none of them, they are all money pits". Some years are better than others.
