    several articles on loopholes within the Moss-Magnuson act..


    http://anthonyvatterott.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/The Magnuson Moss Act - An Overview.pdf

    http://www.sportrider.com/magnuson-moss-warranty-act --> this article shows that such aftermarket items installed Could void the warranty of your vehicle given the dealer provided manual states it does

    hope it helps the first article was written by a lawyer who has fought for the federal govt on cases where the install of aftermarket products by a unlawfully licensed instal was completed.

    My buddy was talking to his friend last week and his friend told him it was totally legit?

    So that pretty much makes me an expert.

    This is utterly moronic. Here is the sixth different source - I pulled out a key sentence for you this time, since there's absolutely no way you have actually read my previous sources.

    “The manufacturer or dealer must show that the aftermarket or recycled part caused the need for repairs before denying warranty coverage.”

    Please don't come in my thread calling my information names, take the 15 minutes, read the articles, admit that yes there actually are loopholes, be humbled and move on. No apology needed

    I can't even believe this is happening. To quote your very own article, which I read, although I'm not quite sure you actually did:

    "Your case gets stronger the less related your modifications and the malady are. For example, to deny warranty coverage during the specified warranty period, the manufacturer must prove not only that you have done something in contravention to the warranty, but also that whatever you did actually caused the problem you're trying to get fixed. That is: Installing an alarm or a replacement shock will have no influence on, say, a cam-chain tensioner going south. This is obvious to us and, we hope, to most dealer personnel. But what if you have the tensioner problem but made other engine modifications? Again, the OE has to prove, conclusively, that whatever you did created the problem. A slip-on muffler will not cause a tensioner to fail. A properly installed ignition advancer will not make the oil pump fail."

    Your original statement: "Installing a car alarm WILL void your warranty"

    My original statement: "Installing a car alarm WILL NOT void your warranty - the dealership must prove that your modification caused the failure covered under warranty"

    Your even more wrong in the separate thread that you passively-aggressively started in another section after rage-quitting the last thread where you were also wrong.

    Are you going to start a third thread now?
