We all know what problems are common etc.... But my question is when does most of those occur?

I have the car for 2 months, have 4000km on it and luckily (knock it on wood) so far so good.


When a car has a software problem, transmission problem, engine problem, whatever any kind of problem WHEN DOES TIS HAPPEN? Since the very beggining? After 6 months? After 10000mls? When?

Most of our problems started day one. A few more surfaced later (but the origination of the problems was present day one). And a few are just faulty parts that keep breaking even after they've been replaced several times.
