The actual validity of my extended warranty.
Did you not keep service records? They don't just invalidate a contract without the terms you broke being in the contract...
I was offered unlimited oil changes for the duration of my contract. Apparently, unlimited is limited to one oil change every 8000kms. Bumper to bumper coverage did not cover numerous items found between those bumpers, including the cv axle joint. Additionally, the payments they tried to offer me far exceeded the agreed upon price. Dealerships are con artists that employ fast talking finance officers to recoup the money they "lose" from desperate salespeople. Don't pretend they're not.
8000km? That's a 5k mile service interval. Maintenance plans go by the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule. Not by whatever your grandaddy told you is proper.
What if you wanted an oil change every 500 miles? Are dealers thieves if they don't give it to you, even though it's not in the contract you didn't read.
This is the kind of nonsense from stupid asshole customers that gives dealers a bad name.
CV JOINTS? Really? How about brake pads too? Wear and tear items. Parts that wear out over time and are not covered.
I dont know of a single warranty ever that pays for wear and tear items.
Again, you didn't read or understand anything you purchased. You simply heard someone say "bumper to bumper" and "sign here" and you did.
You have 30 days to cancel a warranty after you purchase it for full refund. You didn't even go home and read it. It's so much easier to blame a dealership than to take responsibility for your own actions.
People invalidate contracts all the time. There's nothing you can do about it either unless you're willing to spend months battling in court. In the meantime your car needs to be repaired so you can go to work. They know only a small percentage of people will take the time and effort to battle them in court, so overall denying claims is economically efficient.
As a side note: NEVER buy an extended warranty from a car dealer. It's always a scam. If you buy one and something goes wrong they will try everything in the book to avoid covering it, and 9 times out of 10 you won't need it as long as you aren't buying from a shit car company.
Ask the salesperson why they're telling you how unreliable the car is in the middle of trying to sell it to you. Sometimes it's fun to get the sales manager and ask them why they let this guy be a salesman when he's sitting here telling customers how the cars are going to break down on them. It's like watching Jen Psaki explain "Putin's price increases."
"Mr. Customer, the vehicle you are buying is bulletproof. Do the general maintenance and this vehicle has 300k miles on the engine and transmission no problem. Here is the issue. The manufacturer outsources all of its MICROCHIPS, sensors, sonars, radars, LCD screens, electric motors for doors, windows, sunroof etc. Cars are more high tech than they've ever been and this stuff can't be fixed with a wrench. It must be replaces. What you're paying for is a guarantee that even with inflation like it is today, in 10 years we will fix all that stuff for free if it breaks."
