Right to repair is already law in Mass. It doesnt kick in until 2018, but its there. The ballot question passed with 86% support.

Car repairs are expensive. and for a lot of people, a car is necessary. I can't think of any other consumer item where the potential costs of repairs rivals that of a car.
