Im in!

I was at fx.org, I have a 45, and someone there found it and it is an actual law. The burden of proof is on the dealer and even if an aftermarket part was the cause of a failure only that part that failed is voided not the entire warranty!

 

sorry,

most people know of it... like for a long long time...

i think it used to be a sticky...

but you win. full moon. crossfire.

beers

 

Well sorry for not searching it first, but with all the bitching and whining about warranties from some around here I did not think some people did.

 

not a problem.

 

Hit ALT + TAB

Hits ALT + TAB again

I thought that was pretty much common knowledge. I even explained it in one of the many engine recall threads after I went in to have mine checked with my nitrous kit still installed.

so tranny 1 got rebuilt...now 1000 miles later im getting locked out of 3rd gear @ 9k and service tech says i must have made a misshift and destroyed syncro. so they are getting me a new tranny and said my tranny warrant is done after the swap. so can they go ahead and void ur warranty because they feel you drive the car hard and found rubber in your wheel well?

 

This tranny is 1000 miles old so never got around to the syn fluid. My 1st tranny was running RedLine MT-90. Only 2nd to 3rd gear at 9k is effected. I think he screwed up when rebuilding and is just looking to pass the blame on someone else.

 

does this count performance upgrades

 

Yes.

 

That's BRILLIANT!!!

Has anyone actually argue this out with the dealer? I want to get an aftermarket exhaust and intake.

 

ill probably get burned for this question..but i take it this law is for every state?

 

It is for Arizona. I'd say it IS the law for every state, but you should look it up in the internet first. No problems in asking, you're just trying to be sure. I'd most likely say California would be different though
