Dealer says bumper to bumper warranty is..
So Im selling the my car (mods in sig) and the dealer tells the guy who is buying my car says the FULL warranty is void. Since I have headers the service department is saying I have no warranty left, they even said If my radio or window stops working it wont be covered. I know there is no truth to this, But I would like to have someone to verify so I can show the guy who is buying my car.

I called my dealer and asked about putting on headers and exhaust, and he told me that I would only be voiding the warranty on the exhaust. Everything else is covered..

Even Lawyers won't take these cases because on an engineering level everything works in conjunction with some other part so a modification to one can affect the other etc etc. But I find most dealers aren't ANAL, and those that pull the warranty Bullcrap is because they don't get paid unless GM approves the repair... they make it on good faith, hoping GM covers it when they submit the paperwork. usually low volume dealers act like this... But also check your state laws... I also believe there is a federal law in place that specifically says something about warranties and vehicles... but I may be thinking about the oil change law... but their may be verbage in there that covers after market modifications. Throw this at your dealer: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showpo...5&postcount=22

DID you read the OP? having the window motor go or the radio stop working should have no affect on having headers and such.

I have a supercharger on my car (includes a tune) and I have had my car go in for warranty work. So long as the headers/tune aren't the cause of the problem, the warranty should still be honored. I can show you receipts of my warranty work if it'll help.

Catch me if you can

To easy. Print a copy of the Magnuson-Moss Act. Bring it to the dealership, slap it down on the desk and say prove it that my warranty is voided due to installed parts if a non connected device is not functioning.

Dealers do whatever they want. We have been paying several huindred dollars for
"documentation fees" for years. Most still continue to pay. |
