Over these past 30 years the serviceability of a vehicle has become outright stupid and over the top. It has reached a point where I truly believe laws have to be crafted to hold engineers and the auto industries feet to the fire, and I am a person believes in no government intervention. "Wear parts" have got to be made accessible and easily serviced, this is not rocket science people and it does not need to be. There should be absolutely no reason that you have to move a cross member and nearly remove the transmission to do a simple oil service, to readily be able to place a new serpentine belt on (not having to disassemble the front of the engine compartment), to access spark plugs, to easily change the oil filter, to access and change a headlight bulb, to readily be able to read error codes and faults if you want to. The list goes on depending on. It also plays a role in a shops ability to get things done in a reasonable time and expense if your not interested or able to service your own vehicle.
