Oil Change and 4 days later car blows up

Answered 9 years and 8 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The first issue is to find out what caused the engine to blow up. If you feel that you have established that through your mechanic, then you can file suit against the dealership but your mechanic is going to have to testify in court as to what the cause was.

Used auto purchase, I was given a verbal warranty for 6 months for a truck I purchased 1 week ago and it has been in the shop 4 times for different re

Answered 9 years and 9 months ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
If the car was purchased "as is" as stated on the written contract, then a verbal warranty is no good. If you will read the print on the purchase contracts, they normally say that an verbal representation is either no good or is merged into the contract which makes the "as is" prevailing.

Auto Warranty exclusions. Are they legal?

Answered 10 years and a month ago by Patrick Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
The wording of the warranty would regulate their liability.
The wording of the warranty would regulate their liability.

My car engine cracked. While there is no debate that auto refused to honor their extended warranty since my car was totaled (Branded) in a hail storm. This is an exclusion in the Warranty, but I don't think that this is ethical. Is it legal to deny a warranty claim based upon what seems to be subterfuge. They admit that their engine was faulty but indicate that their hands are tied due to the exclusion.

The wording of the warranty would govern their obligation whether you thing that it is ethical or not.
