Man, that's the worst kind of scamming. Make a ****ty product, then when your customers figure out how to fix it inexpensively (which still involves paying you for the parts), take advantage of them.
In GM's defense, I wonder if people were botching the repair and making problems worse for themselves. It may have become a liability issue for them. Hopefully declining sales of parts that could potentially cause an unsafe situation doesn't become a common practice - because that'd be nearly every part on a car!
