For 99% of the people out there, the only problem that truly exists can be solved by cutting a wire or two.
Agreed. Nissan determined that their bearings will just start to break down somewhere north of 300 degrees due to their constuction technique (reformulated bearings no long use lead for enviromental reasons) so they put a 280 degree safety limit. Cars aren't actually "overheating", the safety system is just kicking in.
