this would be my route as well

I’ve observed many other posts by other users that seem to convey similar observations and opinions.

haven’t seen many posts that indicate receiving actual tangible help/results.
I agree, I don't think they've been the most helpful, unless there's been lots of work happening in PMs that never gets reported out in the open. But, just saying - it's not a bot, and I don't think they're harvesting/marking VINs to mark their owners as "troublemakers"

In my experience, when an OEM wants to take a technical question ‘offline’ it means they don’t want to be transparent.

There are many reasons to act this way.

It is never in the equipment owner’s interest to see a technical question that applies to multiple people, taken ‘offline’ by the OEM.

It means they want to engage in ‘asymmetrical information’.

All it takes is a quick read of current events to see examples of lack of transparency on the part of technical equipment manufacturers.

Frankly, while I don’t think that FoMoCo gives a rat’s patoot about what is said here, I wouldn’t put it past them to ‘annotate’ an interaction through an online forum.

My guess, the mission of the ‘notabot’ is a gatekeeper for the corporate legal department.

Also, at the risk of annoying the forum moderators, I would estimate there is a 5 to 1 ratio of apologists to complainers here.

And by that I mean propaganda in either direction.

There are real people here with real problems and ‘the corporation’ does a crummy job of solving them.

I am one of those people. And we are all just one technical problem away from that.

I have watched serious technical problems wind their way through the courts in class actions against OEMs and the OEMs fight tooth and nail to deflect responsibility.

The most recent one I watched on a vehicle I owned was hilarious

A Detroit court ruled against the vehicle owners. I was shocked. Say it ain’t so.
