Why is it that no one buys a second computer and swaps the computer out when you go in?

Bottom line is this age-old argument is unwinnable. If the dealer suspects wrongdoing in a powertrain warranty scenario, they will turn the car inside-out and will find what they need to suggest warranty denial to the corporate offices, and corporate will support it. I used to be a dealer service manager and we did it all the time. Never mod anything you can't afford to push over a cliff. /End argument.

I challenge anyone to prove they were denied warranty service based on flash count! |

I absolutely know it's been done on another brand- but so far not on a GM yet.

There has to be a limit before a tune could/would create a situation that would create damage. Most vehicles have left something on the table due to EPA & mpg concerns. Those wanting a stealth tune or a way to flash back to stock, are you admitting you are crossing the line with that flashed tune that may cause damage and want to avoid taking responsibility. They are after all providing a warranty that should their stock product fail they will fix it at their cost. |

If I get a car with a smoked engine because it was run lean and the flash count reveals a tune, you will have a problem. Luckily, most people aren't idiots when it comes to driving the car with an issue. Personally, I wouldn't try to get someone else to pay for something *I* broke, but this world has become a place where people are always wanting something for nothing.

How can a dealer end up in a lawsuit over a car with a tune and warranty being denied? Won't happen. GM provides warranty, not a dealer. If there's ANY doubt warranty will pay, YOU will. If a tune (which we will see) provides doubt, we can send the car out the door. Not saying I would, but I can, and you'd have to take it somewhere else. I've taken in cars that other dealers did this to.
Nearly everyone IS looking to blame someone else when they break their car- I deal with those people every day. I'm supposed to believe that the center console latch broke in 3 pieces due to a defect, or that the seat side trim is broken off entirely by itself and has nothing to do with the 430lb driver. Don't forget the bent wheel with curb rash at 20K miles that is "obviously defective." Every. Damn. Day.
