I kind of figured this was happening but wanted you to say it.
What is this, the "Minority Report" ? "These parts are being returned due to future failures".
You are committing "insurance" fraud, and making it more difficult for those with legitimate failed parts to be taken care of. Read the actual warranty and see if it states that returning good parts that you think might fail in the future is covered.
And, I'm betting some of your car problems are self induced by randomly changing parts.
I replace parts when they get towards the expected end of life not once a year for a part that should last a decade or more.
