Another example; if you were thinking about buying a new family vehicle and you asked you pastor for counsel on the matter and he told you to buy the 2009 Expedition. You do and 6 months later the thing turns out to be a lemon. Who will you blame? You know you will its human nature.

You have given an absurd example.
Nobody should need pastoral counsel about which model of vehicle to buy.
Professional counselors don't deal with that kind of thing either.
