Sorry, but while I don't know the details on most of those, and am hardly a fan of car companies, from what I read it often appears to be a case of the car company taking the blame for customer stupidity. As for instance customers who complain that they don't get the posted mpg figures 'cause they drive like idiots. Or the latest idiocy: people who can't figure out that if you hang several pounds of junk on your key chain, it might have enough leverage to turn the key in the switch.

The sad part of this is that in self-defense, car companies try to design cars for idiots, which makes them a miserable experience for the rest of us.
