I think that if the FBI wants in that phone then they have a warrant to hack it and get into it, but the government can't force Apple to hack into one of its products and do the FBI's job.

That's a bad analogy. That's putting a civilian directly in harm's way. That's not common.

But asking specialists for support is. Car company engineers work with investigators when there's belief of faulty equipment that leads to injury.
