friend of mine had a ford like this. and it cost more than the car to fix after only 10-15ish years of use. its terrible.

Yeah, that's just how it goes as the engine becomes more complex, leaving a dipstick there is not gonna change that...

leaving a dipstick there and not recommending against changing your transmission fluid would not have ruined the car in a measly decade.

please don't trust these corporations. unrepairable items are engineered to be unrepairable, and vice versa.
