Does anyone know if lowering the car will void the powertrain warranty? Chrysler is finding any loophole they can to not pay for things. I have a friend who was denied warranty work because he had different size tires!! lol Of course, they ended up paying, but I can only imagine what they would say about a car that is lowered and the change in drivetrain warranty.

Ideas?

 

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act basically says that a warranty can not be denied simply because the item has been modified - it must be proven that the modification caused the failure. I'd like to see someone prove that you blew your engine because you installed a set of lowering springs, or that your A/C failed because of it. Those are things Magnuson-Moss was designed to counter.

Installing a turbocharger on a factory N/A car, however, could easily void your warranty, but only for engine coverage. It would be tough to prove that the turbocharger was the fault of your seat heaters failing.

Some dealers are very understanding of this, others not so much. Some dealers will work on modified cars, others refuse to.

 

Well if you cut the factory springs and then complain about suspension problems I think you'd be S.O.L.

 

Thanks, I totally forgot about the act! Thanks guys.
