Problèmes de réparation connus
- Pixel parts pairing / biometric calibration. Reports from iFixit teardowns of Pixel 6 and later noted that fingerprint sensor and some camera replacements require Google's calibration tooling; replacements with used genuine parts have produced warnings, similar to other OEMs.
- Software update support windows for older Pixels. Pre-Pixel 8, devices received only 3 years of OS updates and 5 of security updates, limiting practical lifespan of repaired hardware. Google extended Pixel 8 to 7 years of updates after public criticism.

Right to parts, tools and documentation
Manufacturers of electronic or appliance products must make available to owners and independent repair providers any documentation, functional parts, and tools that they make available to their authorized repair providers, on fair and reasonable terms.
Connecticut Public Act 25-44 (Substitute Senate Bill No. 3), An Act Concerning Consumer Protection and Safety - 02
Disclosure by non-authorized repair providers
A service dealer or repair facility that is not an authorized repair provider for a manufacturer must affirmatively disclose that status to the consumer before performing repairs.
Connecticut Public Act 25-44 (Substitute Senate Bill No. 3) - 03
Fair and reasonable terms standard
Parts, tools, and documentation must be supplied on fair and reasonable terms — meaning, in general, on terms no more onerous than those a manufacturer offers its own authorized repair network.
Connecticut Public Act 25-44 (Substitute Senate Bill No. 3) - 04
No requirement to disclose trade secrets
The right-to-repair provisions do not require a manufacturer to divulge trade secrets or to enable bypass of security features, but the duty to supply ordinary repair documentation, parts, and tools still applies.
