SO STOP SAYING
WARRANTIES ARE NOT VOIDED. WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THE OTHER HAND CAN BE DENIED.

But can they void the warranty on my magnetride?

Let the big boys play...

Technically, YES, the Ford New Car Warranty CAN BE VOIDED

Edited for length, but I'll bow out of the thread as this post sums up exactly what I was trying to say.

I posted this on the Corvette Forum yesterday for the same kinda nitpicking over words............

If not a direct and physical change to a part, the manufacturer must prove that some other usage/modification of the vehicle caused the failure of something in order to deny warranty, from a legal point of view. This means that if you hack up your exhaust, any attempt to get a warranty claim on the exhaust paid for is out the door. It also means that for something like a tune, Ford must provide evidence that the tune caused a failure in order to deny warranty work. Again, this is all from a legal point of view. From a practical perspective, good luck fighting a multi billion dollar corporation if your engine gets damaged (that you had tuned), even if the reason for the failure didn't actually come from the tune.

All I can say is with social media so in your face, don’t beat your stang at the track... break a few parts because you didn’t know and try to bring it back in for warranty / lemon law claims.

Who has more money for better lawyers? You or the dealer/Ford? Yes your warranty can be voided

15 U.S.C. 2310(d)(2)
If a consumer finally prevails in any action brought under paragraph (1) of this subsection, he may be allowed by the court to recover as part of the judgment a sum equal to the aggregate amount of cost and expenses (including attorneys’ fees based on actual time expended) determined by the court to have been reasonably incurred by the plaintiff for or in connection with the commencement and prosecution of such action, unless the court in its discretion shall determine that such an award of attorneys’ fees would be inappropriate.

Difference between a car that "has a warranty" but can not have warranty claims filed on it versus a car without a warranty is?.......??????

Stupid statement.

BTW? You're also wrong. So stop BS'ing everyone.

North Carolina Law states, verbatim:

BUT A WARRANTY CAN BE VOIDED OR REPAIRS DENIED
It is possible for a manufacturer or dealer to void a warranty or to deny warranty repairs. To do so, they must be able to demonstrate that improper repairs, improper maintenance or improper upgrades resulted in damage to the component that is subject to your warranty claim dispute.

If your engine fails and your warranty claim is denied because you changed the oil yourself, that's not good enough. If they can document that the wrong type of oil was installed, too much or too little oil used, or the oil changes weren't performed according to the maintenance schedule, they may be able to deny the claim and win. If your engine failed and they are trying to say that your new tires caused it to fail, that's not good enough. They may still try to deny it, at which point you should contact the North Carolina Attorney General's Office or a lawyer.

Your entire warranty can't be voided
It's a common tactic. Manufacturers or dealers will imply that they won't do any more work on your vehicle because your warranty is 'void.' If we go back to the failed engine example, your warranty for your vehicle electronics can't be voided if the warranty for your engine is voided.

It's also illegal and considered littering to throw cigarettes
butts out your window... But guess what?

If you have tens of thousands of dollars to risk go for it

This is a troll thread.

People that say a warranty claim can get denied versus people that say your warranty is void on a certain part... Yes, the wording is different, but the end result is still the same. People mean the same thing by both statements.

This situation is like saying irregardless versus saying without regard. They mean the same thing but nobody ever uses the word irregardless in the correct context.

Well I might not be that smart, but I can read.

Now this article is from North Carolina but I’d be willing to bet it is same for the other states as well.

You mean they can’t void my engine warranty for a broken power window? ;). My statement was general, not specific.
