   Yup.  Defective equipment.  But they probably won't pull them over for that.

   Oh, ya.  I didn't realize how shady until I had to get a replacement part for   
   my truck.  Since I worked at GM Service/Parts Operation at the time, I was   
   easily able to verify the part number.   
      
   So I go to the dealership locally, provide the part number, and they tell me   
   that I couldn't buy it (which is very strange).  I had to buy the whole   
   "fixture" instead of the small part that wore away.   
      
   So I asked to borrow the phone, called one of my buddies at SPO (i.e. "The head   
   office"), who had me put the dealership on the line.  The guy went white.  I   
   guess that this wasn't the first time they tried to scam a customer on parts.   
      
   But the empowerment is on purpose.  A few large companies is much easier for   
   the Elitists to control than a large number of small companies.  Hence why   
   during the scamdemic the big box stores could stay open, but the small ones   
   couldn't.
