I am knocking on wood as I type, but I've driven to California and back multiple times, make frequent trips to Virginia and also to KC and I haven't ever really broken down.
Had a radiator spring a leak in a 91 Suburban on the way to Grandpa's house in Ohio once. I was only 20 miles from his house so I just topped off with water at a gas station and went for it. Replaced the radiator the next day.
Been really lucky I guess. I never buy new cars and have had several with over 300K miles. I do all my maintenance and repairs myself, so I think I have a better grasp than most exactly what condition my vehicles are in.
