Again, I don't care what you personally see. I'm sure ther have ALWAYS been late model cars in junk yards. I doubt it's because of electronic components. Most likely they were totaled which is what happens to many cars.
You see lots of new cars with windows that won't close and doors won't lock? All those check engine lights. I haven't. Every late model car for me has ridden like a dream. Last 5 vehicles have all been American made, not a single door or window issue. Not even an engine light. Most have four wheel drive (all but 1 actually) that have handled flawlessly. There is my anecdotal shit to counter yours.
You obviously do not do your own car work and do not keep them very long.
My experience is pretty wide, because I not only maintain my own, but relatives, friends, etc.
I keep up on all cars.
For example, I know a guy with a 2015 Chevy Camaro, and the blend door for the heater.AC is broken.
This is a notorious failure on almost all GM vehicles, but especially Camaros, and the dealer wants to charge $3700 to fix it. (you have to remove the windshield, then the dash, etc.) They simply failed to put in a position limiter switch.
