Yeah, I saw another article about that, and the car would also contact the dealer when anything went wrong so some shmoe from the dealership could call the woman and tell her to bring in the car. They WANT the dealer to be in control of when the car should come in? Who wants to guess what the dealership would be doing on a slow day?
"uh, lady, your car called and said it had a flimmerstat failure, better bring it in. New one's gonna run ya $300 plus labor. And the engine's gotta come out for that of course."
"oh... well... ok. I don't want to be stranded! Thank you!"
"oh, and don't forget that additional $50 bonnet opening charge."
