Reliability is not a matter of if the product works how you want it to work, it is a matter of it is working as designed. In this case, I would believe the strain being applied to the cable is higher than it normally should be, thus disconnecting. If you give some strain relief to the connector by providing extra cable looped towards the motor and zip-tied, that should be a reliable fix for you.
Imagine though if you did solder the wire and the motor then failed, now not only do you have to replace the motor, but also the cable.
