My SKREEM is working fine. What kind of response would I get if I wrote a letter to FCA demanding that they make SKREEMs available because someday, maybe 6 or 8 years from now, I **might** need one. So, I have no legal standing in this situation since my SKREEM is working.

If that is true about no law requiring parts to be available for 6 or 10 years or whatever, then it's even worse than I thought--when a car maker decides to abandon the parts supply, they can, and it will always boil down to "not enough profit in it to keep the supply chain going." How many times have we heard here and on Facebook, "never take your car to the dealer".

I'm not sure how the "useful life of the vehicle" is determined, but if it can be defined, it would have to be a time and/or mileage limit. And I would think since most original owners trade the vehicle after 4-6 years, that might legally be considered the useful life. If somebody owns a nicely preserved '52 DeSoto with only 60,000 miles on it, do they have a legal right to go to the Mopar parts counter and demand a new radio for it?
