Ex 1: you buy a Car from Bruce Honda and the car won’t start cause the engine is missing the drive plate and the gasket is replacing one of the dowel pins.
The car is cheaply built/ Jerry rigged
Ex 2: my cousin: “ this dumb bolt just fell out. The 4wheeler is Jerry rigged

To Haphazardly put together something after breaking it so that when another person goes to use it, it rebreaks appearing the other person broke it.
I super glued the vace back together and moved the coffee table closer to the door and waited for mom to come home.

Jury rigging refers to makeshift repairs or temporary contrivances, made with only the tools and materials that happen to be on hand. Originally a nautical term, on sailing ships a jury rig is a replacement mast and yards improvised in case of damage or loss of the original mast. Jury-rig has been in use since 1788 but the adjectival use of "jury" in the sense of makeshift or temporary dates from at least 1616, when it appeared in John Smith's A Description of New England.
A false etymology is that "Jerry-rigged" was employed by World War II British troops to refer to the German use of scavenged parts to keep vehicles and weapons functional, from the use of "Jerry" as a pejorative term for German soldiers.

The jury-rigged (not jerry-rigged) contraption made do for now. (jerry-rig - it's not accurate The actual term is jury-rig)
