I agree with you but while we wait we can ease our pain by pushing for even if temporary solutions. Think of it this way - with a warranty you have to prove a product is broken with this model the company needs to prove it's working each year before you make a recurring payment.

Think of every sneaky slimy way that could be misused.

Your car's head gasket is mixing coolant and oil like a toxic vinaigrette, but the radio still plays music and the brake is holding the car firmly.

Also, your 200 feet past your oil change, so your contract is void.
