Federal Trade Commission Validates Right to Install Aftermarket Parts Without Voiding Warranty : STILLEN

This will make it clear for those that want to Mod but were afraid of having a dealer void their warranty. Thanks Josh :tiphat:

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.

This is how it should be. Good find.

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.

Is this a new development? I am waiting for legislation that makes it harder for auto manufacturers to deny coverage, but that won't happen since the manufacturers have so much lobbying power and that the government is now tied to the auto industry.

That is why it is so important to support mod friendly dealerships.

Even more temptation to pile on to take advantage of that sweet Stillen offer! Great marketing by the way! :wink:

So what is so significant about this? Nothing, really. If a dealership wrongfully denies your claim it's still your burden to take them to court and present your case. And as we all know with the legal system, he who is wealthiest has the advantage.

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.

This just raises the price of labor and oem parts to the general public. A car is very dynamic. Change one thing expect something else to go out of balance.

Again you don't need to go to court. I been thru this, that why I say it! ;)

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?

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