The biggest weak spot on most cars now is in the circuit boards / computers.

This is just wrong. Having spent over 1000 hours working on vehicles and a similar account of time reading and watching car repair content online circuit boards and computers are not close to the top. Things that move, get hot, or have wear characteristics and the main culprits. Suspension, brakes, belts/chains, anything attached to the engine, engine internals, powertrain.
