GM admits it flucked up big time

To which I ask, if the purchaser was warranted, don't you think that it
would be stated in the warranty manual?

You are free to believe whatever you wish, but the manufacture warrants the
vehicle to it dealer(s,) not the owners as I have tried to explain numerous
times.
LOL

 

Stop acting like a jerk (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt when I say
you are only *acting* like a jerk) and giving people information that YOU
BELIEVE to be true.

The auto warranty IS between the car makers and their DEALER(S!) If I am
incorrect, please provide real evidence.

 

And where does it say that the OWNER is warranted here?

"In the United States (We Include U.S.
Possessions and Territories as Part of
the United States for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service MUST be done by an AUTHORIZED
CHRYSLER, DODGE or JEEP DEALER. We strongly
RECOMMEND that you take your vehicle to your
SELLING DEALER. They know you and your vehicle
best, and are most concerned that you get
prompt and high quality service. If you MOVE
within the United States, warranty service may
be requested from any authorized Chrysler,
Dodge or Jeep dealer."

Then why does the warranties talk about transferring the warranty to
new owners of the car or truck? Why would there be any need to
transfer the warranty? And, if you were correct, wouldn't the wording
of the warranties reflect that the warranty is to the dealers?

And why does the Chrysler warranty have this language? "You are
covered by the Basic Limited Warranty if
you are a purchaser for use of the vehicle."

And where does it say that the dealer is warranted here?

"In the United States (We Include U.S.
Possessions and Territories as Part of
the United States for Warranty Purposes):
Warranty service must be done by an authorized
Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer. We strongly
recommend that you take your vehicle to your
Selling Dealer. They know you and your vehicle
best, and are most concerned that you get
prompt and high quality service. If you move
within the United States, warranty service may
be requested from any authorized Chrysler,
Dodge or Jeep dealer."

If the selling dealer is warranted, don't you think that that would be
stated in the warranty manual?

And GM says that if you buy a GM car, *you* get a 100,000 mi
powertrain warranty. Not your dealer.

Get a clue, if you can old man.

Or self-righteous arseholes like Mike Hunter who think that because he has
the gold, he can make the rules.

What you are saying makes no sense Mike. The warranty is to the
vehicle purchaser. The dealer acts as the agent for the manufacturer.
I can take my broken Ford, that is under warranty, to any Ford dealer
for repairs. They will do the work that Ford allows and then get
reimbursed by Ford. The warranty is granted by the manufacturer to the
purchaser of the vehicle and is transferable to subsequent purchasers.

Where does it say the SELLING DEALER is the other party in the warranty?

Let's see....nowhere.

However, it does say that service must be done by an authorized
dealer...and of course, Chrysler can authorize anyone they want.

Notice that it says NOTHING about "you must take it to your SELLING
DEALER." They only "recommend" that. They don't MANDATE or REQUIRE it.

Gee, My Cunter. Maybe you can't read.

It also says "warranty service may be requested from any authorized
dealer". ANY authorized dealer.

So now you have established that you were full of shit about the car
being taken to the SELLING dealer.

Now let's talk about who is protected by the warranty: what is all this
"you may take it..." stuff? WHO may take it? To WHOM is Chrysler
talking?

<gasp!> THE OWNER. The guy who bought the car. Chrysler is NOT talking
to the dealer, because the warranty is not between Chrysler and any
dealer. The warranty is between Chrysler and the OWNER.

And Chrysler makes it easy on themselves, and the owner, by not forcing
the owner to take the car back to the Chrysler factory. Chrysler
authorizes third parties to act on BEHALF of Chrysler.

Get that? On BEHALF of Chrysler. When performing warranty work, the
authorized service entity IS, for all intents and purposes, CHRYSLER.
The owner of the car remains the owner of the car, and the owner of the
car is requesting warranty service from the MANUFACTURER.

The warranty is offered from the MANUFACTURER to the owner. Period.
That the MANUFACTURER may CHOOSE to authorize others to act in its
BEHALF changes NOTHING about the fact that the warranty is BETWEEN THE
MANUFACTURER AND THE OWNER.

 

You mean, just like you're giving people information that YOU BELIEVE to
be true?

Just because YOU believe it, doesn't mean anything. The rest of us can
read and have had experience in these matters, and know that what you
BELIEVE is factually WRONG.

You may BELIEVE that the Holocaust didn't exist, but you would be
factually WRONG.

 

As I said I could not care less what someone in a NG chooses to believe but
if you actually READ your new car Limited Warranty you will see it said;
Your (manufacturer) and (Brand) dealer(s) warrants etc. If the warranty
was between the buyer and the manufacturer it would be a contract, just like
the agreements between the buyer and his finance source, it is a contract
with the dealers

Call your attorney and ask him if ONE party of a contract can change ANY
part of a contract. If you actually READ your new car Limited Warranty,
under "Limitations and Disclaimers" you will see it said "With the exception
of implied warranty under federal and state laws (manufacturer) and (Brand)
dealer(s) reserves the right to make changes and or additions to vehicles
built and sold by them at any time etc.

You have a contract with your insurance company to repairer you damaged car.
If the insurance company wants to use less than new parts to repair it, you
can demand NEW parts on YOUR new car but a car warranty says otherwise.
The reason being the warranty is NOT a contract with you, it is with the
dealer(s.)

 

We should just let this thread die Ed. Mike either really enjoys
seeing people respond to what he says or he's so stupid that the facts
will never make an impression on him. I think it boosts his ego to
see his name in print and he will never acknowledge the facts if it
keeps the thread going.

Agreed. Either he's an idiot and he's incapable of understanding or
he's intentionally acting like one for his own distorted amusement.

 

A warranty is not a contract. A contract is a legal agreement
negotiated at arm's length by two or more parties. You don't negotiate
warranties nor are the arm's length agreements. While there are both
implied warranties with a vehicle purchase as well as written
warranties, you don't (generally) negotiate either. It is included
with the sale as part of the value of the item being purchased.

Warranties are still legally binding on the seller to the BUYER in
very specific ways under both Federal and State laws.

Finance agreements are contracts. They are completely different.

You don't have a clue about legal matters so it really would be best
if you stopped trying to display expertise about them. I'd recommend
that you be sure to consult an attorney before doing anything mildly
related to civil law.

 

I'll say it again, I could not care less what someone in a NG chooses to
believe. I KNOW warranties are to the dealer(s,) not the owner.

I worked as a field Engineer at the Pa VW plant, as such was involved in
settling disputed warranty claims. In addition I processed thousand of
warranty claims, with mutable manufactures, doing the ten years I owned my
fleet service business. You and others are free to believe whatever you
wish, I'm done wasting my time on this

 

Actually, you're wrong, you are not done: you'll be wasting your time
with this concept in your head for many years. And if you believe your
own nonsense on this topic, there's likely a lot of other foolish
ideas running around in there too.

 

Read this:

http://www.autosafety.org/the-magnuson-moss-warranty-act%E2%80%93-an-overview

Note, the warranty protects THE CONSUMER and is between THE CONSUMER
and the warrantor.

And "the consumer" is expressly listed as anyone who purchases the
product for other than resale.

Read the fucking law. For that matter, read the fucking contract. Or
at least the warranty disclosure. Little things like "you have
certain rights under Federal and State laws." Not the dealer, YOU!!!
