I think UD is right. Big automakers, particularly domestic ones, are losing money left and right (because they can't sell good cars instead). They can make a profit by forcing you to change your oil at the dealer. They can deny selling parts unless through the dealer. Some big business friendly lawmakers have been keen to side with their big money. I haven't been following closely, because it sounds like another predictable case of greed during a time of greed and strife, but it's a thing, and if it interests you, you'll find it on the web.
