Some dealership personnel are telling customers that if they install certain products on their vehicle that they will automatically void their warranty! That is totally false and against the law.
US Code – Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312
Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302©) .
Service advisors that tell customers their warranty is automatically Voided if they add a remote start are IN VIOLATION of Federal LAW. For best results, consider working with customer service-oriented dealerships with a proven history of working with customers.
If federal warranty protection is denied, contact the FTC at (202) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov
You have the Right to use high-quality aftermarket parts and know that your new car warranty claims will be honored. In fact, your vehicle dealer may not reject a warranty claim simply because an aftermarket product is present. A warranty denial under such circumstances may be proper only if an aftermarket part caused the failure being claimed.
You have the Right to patronize independent retail stores and shops for vehicle parts and service.
