Volkswagen Has Been Blocking Repair for YEARS (Now it's Backfiring)

from Automotive ADHD · host Matt West

Volkswagen has been blocking your right to repair for years with systems like "Component Protection" and after nearly two decades, a new bill has been introduced to stop this. Without that, it's only a matter of time until other manufacturers like Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Toyota, and Nissan do the same (assuming they haven't already).
