So true. I had a Cobalt SS Supercharged with lowering springs and alot of other mods on it. My sway bar links broke...both me and the manager at the dealership knew it was caused by the rough ride lowering springs caused...however, they couldnt 100% prove it so my warrenty was still go. I had even swapped superchargers and meth injection..warrenty was still good. Even with the 370z. I just installed my nitrous system, my climate controls were acting up so i went to the dealership with the bottle in and everything...mods i have are intakes and nitrous and thats it. They seen it but it didnt do anything to the warrenty cuz it had nothing to do with the issue. I'm sick of these people saying "if you install aftermarket parts it will void the warrenty" no it wont...if the aftermarket part caused the issue that u r getting worked on then yes...but unless it did and they can prove it then its not voided.

I'm interested in specific warranty denials, if anyone is open enough to admit some possible stupidity.
Old enough to have owned several cars: I have always been screwed by domestic dealers and service reps. Only once by a Toyota dealership (sales manager backed me and got fired for his effort). But a different Toyota dealership was fixing stuff for me a year after the warranty ran out. No mods by the way. Have researched the 350Zs quite a bit. When the 06 and 07 had "oil consumption issues," Nissan replaced a lot of engines for free. But the owner had to work with the service department to gather stats over time. Still interested in specifics. IMO Nissan, Toyota, Honda appear to care more about word-of- mouth experiences, both as a brand and by dealership. And a confession. If something goes wrong with my car, I can't diagnose it in time to put the old parts back on...as a matter of fact I can't diagnose it, nor can I swap parts back and forth. Need to know potential problems beforehand. |
