I read that, it's crazy. I definitely understand both sides of the argument, but it's hard for a manufacturer to look at a car with new design and technology, and a heavily-tracked car at that, and make the leap from "you broke it" to "it's a manufacturer defect, let us devote significant amounts of time and money into developing a fix for it." It was only when it started cropping up in cars that had never seen track time that they started taking it seriously.

And a relatively short case is still much much longer and more expensive than no case at all. If they can tell you that it's denied because you tracked it and you accept that, then that's money they didn't have to spend.

But I agree; all the brochures and commercials and Ken Gushi sliding around in promotional vids made it a lot harder to say "this isn't proper usage."
