Halfway through he describes this as malicious compliance with the "right to repair" law. Apple and others are making a mockery of the law.

So they chose to go the John Deere way.

They did but they are actually far worse. John Deere is into some DRM bullshit but Kia / Hyundai dealerships have the worst record for recommending things you don't actually need and then over charging you.

Fucking Kia Bastards. Took my 23 Forte GT to the dealership because driver side was blowing hot air when ac was on. Thought the blend door broke it barely had 29k miles at the time. Second thought the freon had a leak. Got the warranty. They told me it would only apply if they "found" a leak. After 5 hours. They didnt find a leak had to pay $500 for diagnostics. The mechanic said it was extremely low on freon. Which would resonate with a LEAK. But since they didnt "find" it the warranty didnt apply. Never went back and have been fixing my car myself. Fuck Kia dealerships and mechanics. All they did was recharge the system told me to come back after 500 miles because they added a dye. Told the rep, "Fuck you guys, I'm never coming back."

What a pile of assholes! They all sound like conmen.

Looooool even worse for you. The dye is already added from the factory. What fucking a fuckin joke

The cars are decent value for money but the dealerships are an absolute scam
