    Its not exactly intentional... but its just convient coincidence. In order to get every ounce of fuel efficiency from an ICE to meet the current envorimental regs, the engine is loaded with hundreds of sensors and computers. But, what is intentional is the manufacturers do not release their diagnostic tools, so only "authorized" mechanics can only trouble shoot problems.

    Saab went under because they weren't making enough money from repairs, right? There may be a similar problem with electric engines but I'm sure the car manufacturers will find a way to make them shitty so they can make money.
