The people who make the parts are only partially concerned that you can't afford the pieces. Safety is part of the issue.

When I think of the safety involved I am really happy that some manufacturers make such decisions. The fact that you can't afford to fix the cars you drive does not outway my families (and others) right to safety from your purely monitary decisions.

I sure don't want my family on the road with someone who interest in repairing his brakes is solely determined by his inability to afford a safe repair.
