No One Told Me Out of Warranty Repairs Cost Money

This guy is mad because his car (he bought used) is out of warranty and GM wants to charge him to fix it. I would try to point out the logical flaws in his argument, but he doesn’t provide any logic. The customer is not always right and you sir, are an idiot.
Response to the Consumerist post on Your Car Is Used. Should GM Still Be Responsible For A Mistake It Made In The Factory?.
I wouldn’t call him an idiot. I wouldn’t put it past GM to put the incorrect coded computer in his car when it was new. Since he bought the car used, it’s going to be tough for him to prove there weren’t any shenanigans however.
I think if he could find other GM owners with the same problem he might have a case. Otherwise he bought it as-is.
Even if he was the original owner of the car, it was still well past the original manufacturers warranty (which covers manufacturing defects). If he found a bunch of other people with the same problem, he may be able to claim a conspiracy…but I would think we would have heard about it long before now.
