The reason for stuff like this? So that you have to take the car to the shop to get it fixed. It's not an accident, they do it on purpose.
YES.

See all these "certified used vehicle" programs out there to maintain trade-in value. Well, for every one of those programs, people are coming into the dealership in droves. Every 3 months it costs either $60 (routine oil change, check) or $250+ ("scheduled maintenance" like transmission flushes, tire rotations, anal probes, etc.) just to service the thing.

And, you thought they made money on cars. It's a SERVICE economy my friend, and everyone is jumping on board.
