FTC Validates Right to Install Aftermarket Parts Without Voiding Warranty

this is good to hear, i didnt want to do an intake on my car because of the chances the dealer would find a way to void some part of the warranty because of it

That doesnt mean they cant. They can lie and force you to hire an attorney to prove them wrong. Just be careful.

yeah im not gonna do the intake anyway, there is no real use for it on the G37. its not like its gonna be a dyno queen or used for street racing or on the track.

You don't need to hired an attorney, there is a lot of agencies and emails that will get the ball rolling, including FB.

Nissan nor other make of car wants a bad reputation!


When you make yourself weak against the stealerships that is when they run all over you!

Weakness doesn't really matter. In most cases they can afford to spend the time/money on a court case when the average Joe just needs his car fixed so he can get back on the road.

If a dealer denies a warranty claim on $1,500 in service would you be willing to spend two or three times more than that on court costs, plus time off work over the couple of months it will take for you to get your case heard, when there is no guarantee that you'll even win? Probably not.

Yes, but what if complaining go consumer affairs is unable to resolve the warranty claim dispute and your only option is to go to court?

I didn't read any further than "what if."



How many people here have had an issue with denied warranty? Raise your hands. How many of them resulted in no coverage / or court? Raise your hand. So far only one person here has stated ACTUAL EXPERIENCE with this and it was resolved without going to court. You people sound like you're scared for your life. Stop being so cynical.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Experiences will differ based on a variety of factors, luck being a big one.
