Right To Repair

[scorpionsix]

Came across this yesterday: Ford CEO Jim Farley’s right to repair comment should make every car owner uncomfortable

Basically Farley over at Ford doesn't want you (or anyone else other than the dealerships) to be able to work on your Ford. The President is getting involved and appears to be on the side of the vehicle owner. Hopefully he is not swayed the other way. If this were to eventually play out against the owner, there would be a domino effect amongst the manufacturers.

The real money is in repairing their crap when it fails.

The degree of manipulation would be astronomical.

This would hurt the salvage industry if something like this happened. I work for the largest auto recycler in the world and while I’m against lobbying for the most part, it’s a safe bet that our CEO will fight tooth and nail to make sure it doesn’t go that route.

Ford and any other OEM in support of this would really be shooting themselves in the foot. Doesn’t really go over well for farmers and only hurts the consumer
