Brought more vehicle then they can afford.

That is not the story here at all, but you run with that.

Bought more vehicle than they can afford.

You can take that view but may I suggest that getting caught blindsided by an annual cost of this amount does not constitute part of the ‘what you can afford’ thinking.

What I want to know is what the car manufacturers are doing about it....who would buy these cars? By the way i have had these discussions with car dealers where I live. I have a few vehicles....all at least a decade old. Insurance and tbeft is one reason I haven’t bought a new vehicle. It’s a separate issue but I also want the option to disconnect all the surveillance stuff they install these days before i buy a new vehicle.....and I’m prepared to wait.

I see you’re getting some grief for this comment, but I agree. If the car weren’t financed, they could drop comprehensive coverage and it would probably be affordable; but obviously they financed (couldn’t afford cash) and are stuck. I pay $29 a month to cover three cars but can only do so because I paid cash for all of them.
