The littany of sensors begin to go bad after 6-7 years in many newer cars.

I’ve had malfunctioning servos that can’t seem to keep still. It affects the recirculation and air controls but that’s about it.

That's not a new problem. My experience is the most reliable actuators are simple vacuum spring design but they're so much more complex to route and take up space.

I wish we never got rid of manual windows. Those servos are the most annoying thing I've had to replace on my vehicle yet

Which sensors?

All of the important sensors have been in cars for years and years at this point.
