The two aren’t mutually exclusive and cost is a great driver for innovation.

If Holden and other manufacturers are made to carry the repair costs for such defects, as required by ACL, and as should be supported by ArcTick and EPA. they and other manufacturers will quickly modify and retrofit their designs so that they are robust and meet all environmental laws for the life of the vehicle.

The end result is that consumers aren’t wrongly forced to carry repair cost for a poorly designed components which will continue to leach crap into the environment, environmental laws are well understood by vehicle manufacturers, products are better designed (as it’s cheaper for them than meeting their ACL obligations). The end result would be AC systems will be better designed and manufactured so as not to fail prematurely (as is currently the case).

Dollars will always rule… always… so we need to hit these polluters in the hip pocket. ACL, ArcTick, and EPA are ways to force as many costly measures as possible onto these shitbags which increases the pain they feels for selling defective by design products that pollute the environment

But hey, that’s just my view.

If you want your reply letter in a quote box itself, surround that with [ quote ] & [ / quote ] bbs/html commands (again without the white spaces

Shitbags is probably an appropriate description, I just think it's time Holden did the right thing and addressed this. The Robina Holden mechanic, in my attached invoice above even said to the customer in 2019 "that's a common fault" and with only 27,000ks on the clock still charged her $300 bucks!!!! How piss poor is that!!!
