This is one of the reasons I no longer will take a vehicle in to be repaired unless I can diagnose the problem myself and know what repairs are needed before it goes in. It doesn't have to be that new. Once they started putting computers on vehicles they pretty much made them not repairable. I have a 1987 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that has been to a half dozen or more garages and at least two dealerships for an ignition problem. It can be made to run but won't stay running very long. It's been sitting for two years now which I think I have discovered the problem. Someone has designed the ignition module where it has to have resister spark plug wires and some mechanic sometime when my mom had the car put plain wires on it. This is causing it to burn up the ignition modules.
The bottom line is they are designing vehicles way too complex to be maintained and repaired.
