Planned obsolescence. The car industry has been doing it for years. They are not required to make parts for vehicles that are more than 10 years old. If the vehicle isn't popular enough to have an after market, you're out of luck. My husband has a 3 year old Chevy SS. It was made in Australia in some type of deal with Holden (Australian auto maker). Evidently, they didn't renew the contract and Holden is no longer making parts for GM for the cars. You can get some Holden parts that are interchangeable but you have to know what you're doing to do that. As I hear it, warranty work is almost non existent at present because GM doesn't have parts. Its really awful.
