About Years To Avoid
Hi there, I’m Irvin Brooker, and I’m passionate about helping people make smarter car buying decisions.
Buying a car is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. But not all car years are created equal. Some models have years plagued with engine failures, transmission issues, and costly recalls. Sadly, many buyers find this out after they’ve signed the papers.
That’s why I created Years To Avoid Now — a trusted resource for car buyers and enthusiasts who want to steer clear of bad model years.
Why “Years To Avoid Now” Exists
Having spent over a decade researching car reliability trends and talking to mechanics, I noticed a common theme: Certain years of even the most popular car models consistently caused owners headaches. From blown head gaskets in Subarus to transmission failures in Hondas, these patterns kept popping up.
I decided to do something about it.
At Years To Avoid Now, we dig deep into:
- Real Owner Reports – Problems shared by thousands of drivers worldwide.
- Manufacturer Data – Recalls, technical service bulletins, and official fixes.
- Expert Insights – Input from mechanics and automotive journalists.
