Howbout my Dodge, where you have to remove the battery and airbox to change a headlight bulb. I liked my 03 GMC, you could just pull 2 pins, and the headlight assembly would plop right out in your hands. AWESOME IDEA!! Unitized hubs on Dodge
4x4? There's a real winner, NOT!! Parking brake valves (MV3) in a Freightliner FLD series. It appears that they were installed into dash before the dash was installed into the cab. Nearly impossible to get out without breaking anything. Another engineering masterpiece is the push to connect fittings for nylon tubing. While they're great for quick assembly, they suck to get apart after a few years of dirt and corrosion, especially in a tight spot where you can only get 1 hand in there. Here's another jewel, Peterbilts with the batteries inside the cab! Had one blow up one time, what a mess. I'll think of a few more things that make life miserable later
