Bosch wipers, replaced every 2-3 years. They’re wearing parts, and safety-critical. Silent perfection

Agree, use Bosch. They aren't just quiet, they perform better too. One of the things that my girlfriend surprised me with was coming to me after the first rain following my replacing her wipers and thanking me for paying the higher price for Bosch to convince her of their value. Now she pays that price herself and refuses to buy anything else.
So far I've been happy with Bosch brake pads.
Bosch Quietcast pads. They have good stopping power, are quiet (so far) and have low dust, so they are great for my daily driver.
changed out the spark plugs, all except for cyl 1 had crazy looking plugs. Used Bosch platinum 6704 cleared up the CEL and also the stability and TC lights no longer flash so somehow that was connected I guess.
The Bosch oil filter and Mobil 1 5w20 combo is what I've been using for years for my 2010 TSX
90% is the alternator: get a reman Bosch. The "squeaky serpentine belt" is actually the bearings inside the alternator on their last legs.
I changed the starter motor for a Bosch starter in April 24 but after a few months the issue came back.
I picked up a 07 jetta 2.5 from the auction for a good deal and only 95k on it. The problem is the battery is not charging, figured ok needs new alternator put a bosch unit in and it is still not charging the battery. Put multi meter to the post on alternator and it is only putting off 11.5v.
I personally refuse to put anything Bosch made in my cars. All were genuine Bosch parts from my local parts place that has never done me wrong.
First it was their wipers, paid good money for them, squeeled worse than the worn old ones. Figured it's a fluke.
Then I had a set of spark plugs, they were gapped correctly, but the car ran like absolute garbage and I couldn't figure it out until I put the probably 20 year old Valeos back in and it ran fine again.
Then I had a crankshaft sensor that was bad out of the box, and that was the last straw for me. I don't care if it's coincidence or a bad batch, or if they've improved it since, I'm done with any Bosch parts unless it's NOS from the early 2000s or earlier.
