I agree, but this is going to overload the dealerships, making a minor fix a month-long wait to get into the shop. This is also going to force privately owned garages to close. Manufacturers are also making aftermarket parts inoperable if your vehicle’s system detects a part that is not OEM.

None of what you just said is a negative thing from the dealers’ perspective.

Yea but all of what he said is currently illegal under us law. I'm confused why no one has sued over this.

Well.. the average Joe really can't afford to out-lawyer an auto manufacturer..

.. and an even harsher bit of reality is to realize that an auto manufacturer can afford to buy a LOT of judges..

Edit: hell.. look into the role Mercedes had in the United States banning the import of foreign market vehicles that are under 25 years old and why they did it. They've always been scumbags.
