At this pace, I'll either never change my car or will never buy a car again.

The fascists are already dismantling the CFPB. I'm sure the FTC will be on the chopping block soon, too.

So who's going to stop them when they flagrantly ignore the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and refuse to honor your warranty for having your car serviced somewhere other than a dealer?

And who's going to stop them from claiming you did either way?

The warranties are trash anyway. I'm not for the warranties in the first place, just pointing out that you could claim plausible deniability if you needed to while still ensuring they don't get to surreptitiously send your driving data to your insurance company.
