The search for fuel cell controller
Gatling:
I believe it is entirely random, at least past a certain point of its structuring making a difference. Searching the wastelands SOLELY for an FCC is a little ... bland and redundant. I've found 2 so far, without ever really 'hunting' for them. Was doing my normal thing, and found a car in the wasteland. Sometimes junk, sometimes nothing. It happens. The FCC ... think of it as a special encounter. It might happen, it might not.
I wish more things followed this type of pattern and was not so structured.

The thing is that you only find them in city maps. I'm sure someone farming san fran encounters has no problems because he can bump into car wrecks while doing his every day farming.
The best way to get rare or special stuff would be scavenging places like glow with friends.
Gatling:
No, I don't see how that would solve it. If the location respawns and/or is static, then its not really randomized at all, is it? It's just a tank filled with certain levels of stuff, that slowly refills over time. Go back at your leisure to acquire, not to mention the fact getting rad-away will be trouble (like all gear-acquiring aspects of gameplay) for lowbies, furthering the gap between haves and have-nots(which is a chasm by now).

It could regen random rare items. I'm not saying glow should regen it, i'm saying that we could have places where everyone could come to scavenge and fight. For example we could have an ancient motorway where "thousands" of cars were stuck in traffic jam when the blastwaves hit and everyone died. Such place would be ideal location to search for fcc. The place could look like this.
Kirkor:
Fuel cell controller? I wasn't looking for it. On some random encounter I spotted car wreck for the first time in game and got it. Kthxbai =]
Then I bought car for cheap 5k. Vroom vroom.
