Good idea I think. Hopefully it will get the domestics to improve on their product.

What about drivers who go out and blow their trans/diff repeatedly doing burnouts? Do they get to swap to a new one?

The car manufacturers will make it even harder now to get warranty work done, if you have done any form of modification to the vehicle.

Good idea considering how bad Customer Service is with Ford, if the "What problems have you had" thread is anything to go by, it usually takes ACA or pressure from CARS Guide etc to make them move, Holden isn't much better though from what I've seen.
