Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Magnuson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, section 2302(a)
"In order to improve the adequacy of information available to consumers, prevent deception, and improve competition in the marketing of consumer products, any warrantor warranting a consumer product to a consumer by means of a written warranty shall fully and conspicuously disclose in simple and readily understood language the terms and conditions of such warranty. Such rules require inclusion in the written warranty of any exceptions and exclusions from the terms of the warranty. "
DC Corporation:
"Certain changes that you might make to your truck do not, by themselves, void the warranties described in this booklet. Examples of some of these changes are: installing non-Chrysler parts, components, or equipment"
(1997 Warranty Information supplement to Dodge Owner's Manual)
Ford Motor Company:
"Installation of a non-genuine Ford item does not, in and of itself, render our warranty void. " (Ford Owner Relations Division)
GM Corporation:
"If a Chevrolet part fails due to a defect in material or workmanship not related to an aftermarket product or the labor to install it, Chevrolet would be responsible for covering the failed part. "
(Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center)
If you feel you are still being unfairly denied warranty coverage, call the Federal Trade Commission, which administers the Magnuson-Moss Act. Direct complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128.
Bottom line folks, Dealers don't like warranty work, which will only pay a determined amount of money regardless of how long the job actually takes.
