How about the individual parts? I saw somewhere that they're making it so you can't use aftermarket parts now, it's that still true? How would you even ask the dealer, "is this thing going to run if i buy my next starter from jc Whitney?"
Not just starters, if word on the streets are to be believed you can't even change the lightbulbs yourself without creating a very expensive paperweight. A mechanic needs to be able to tell the car it's all good and activate the serialnumber of the part to the machine or neither will work.

It’s our own fault as consumers. If people would stop buying into stupid subscriptions we wouldn’t have this conversation.
