This is where I disagree with you. The average driver would not be attempting such a repair. The average driver would take it to a repair facility.

Additionally, I'll wager that the vehicle's owner's manual clearly states that the engine should not be run in an enclosed space for any period of time and likely makes mention of the dangers of carbon monoxide.

A manufacturer should not be held liable for every permutation of stupidity.
