The disproportionate rise in vehicle maintenance and repair costs threatens the economic viability for families, making it predictable that car ownership will become unsustainable in just a few years. This situation stems from the combination of lower-quality replacement parts and inflated manufacturer pricing, which exponentially increases the cost of everyday breakdowns. This phenomenon reflects a lack of transparency in the automotive industry, where planned obsolescence and a scarcity of information about the true causes of failures hinder the right to repair. By replacing simple parts with much more expensive complete components, the actual durability of the product is ignored, and an unjustified financial burden is imposed on consumers. This case is relevant to open data because it underscores the critical need for access to open data on components, failure histories, and cost breakdowns. Only through transparency in technical and commercial information can consumers understand the system’s inefficiencies, hold manufacturers accountable, and advocate for policies that protect their purchasing power and ensure the sector’s sustainability.
