That wording that My Cunter is quoting is no more meaningful than
recipes on the back of food products. For example:

http://www.kraftfoods.com/kf/recipes...era-90958.aspx

If this recipe is on the back of Kraft's Light Zesty Italian Dressing,
it will definitely tell you to use Philadelphia Neufchatel Cheese and
Kraft Grated Parmesan cheese.

In My Cunter's world, that is an absolute. The recipe simply cannot be
made without those Kraft ingredients, because the recipe specified those
ingredients.

In the real world, we know that Kraft is simply trying to get you to buy
more Kraft products, and that I don't need ANY Kraft products to make
this recipe.

Of COURSE they're going to word things to lead easily suggestible people
back to spend more money. My Cunter, who was "in the business" for 40
years, though--he disputes that. He says it cannot be any other way
than what's worded.

Default Re: GM warranties

Ya right! A warranty is a contract with the dealer, with specific language.
A dealer can repair you gas engine if you mistakenly use diesel fuel, but
the manufacturer will tell you your warranty was voided when you did that
and they will not reimburse the dealer.

An ingredient label is certainly not the recipe one can hardly duplicate
what is in that bottle by knowing the ingredients LOL

Default Re: GM warranties

I never said that, did you miss the "Normally" that someone quoted from the
warranty manual?

The manufacture warrants the vehicle to it dealer(s.) In a situation where
ones selling dealer has closed down or one has moved a great distance, (most
warranty agreements mention 50 miles) the manufacture will have it towed to
their nearest dealership, same as if one is traveling.

That dealer, unlike your dealer, will most likely not do the work before
receiving prior authorization to do so, till he knows he will be reimbursed.

Default Re: GM warranties

What I am trying to get you to understand is the warranty is NOT with the
customer, as apparently many of you believe!! NO dealer is required to work
on cars that were not sold by that dealership.

When I was is retail the partners ALWAYS encouraged our stores to service
any owner, to try to get them as a NEW customer of ours. Manufacturer
warrant to dealers not customers. I KNOW manufacturers do indeed have
warranty work completed at other repair facilities that are AUTHORIZED to be
reimbursed for warrantable repair work, I never said they didn't.

My fleet shops were under contract to just about EVERY manufacturer to do
warranty work, so are transmission, pant, electrical shops etc. That makes
it easier for dealers that do not have enough of that type of work or do
not want to invest in the equipment and workers, to do that type of work.
YOU however can not take your vehicle directly to those shops, you must
either take it to the dealer or have him make arrangements for you.

Before we were AUTHORIZED by the manufacturers, our shops were inspected and
we had to annually buy all of the manufactures REQUIRED special tools and
our techs had to be certified at the manufacturers schools.

When I was Group Sales Manager most of the partners newer group stores used
a single faculty to do warranty work for all of the franchises at the
location, as many as fifteen in one location, rather than as shop at each
store. Again we had to be AUTHORIZED by the manufactures because we did
not do repairs at the retail store. One car have an off site repair
faci;ity but only for the brand(s) sold a that store

I think the relevant word here is "senile."

When I took my Apple computer in for service, I had to do it under the
terms of the warranty, which is to the place where Apple specified.
Fortunately, there is an Apple store about 1 block from a stop on my
subway. Although I had to follow the terms of the contract, they
warranty is between Apple and me. Likewise, the warranty for my new
car is between Ford and me. They can specify where I have to take the
car for warranty work (i.e., one of their authorized representatives,
a dealer). But, the warranty is between Ford and me. Likewise, the
warranty on a GM is between GM and the buyer.

GM has this to day about their Pontiac warranty (http://
www.pontiac.com/warranty/):

Do I have to go the Pontiac dealer where I purchased my vehicle to
have this type of work performed?

While most customers prefer to have this type of work performed at
their selling dealer, it can be performed at any Pontiac dealership.

Can I take my Pontiac to any GM dealership for warranty repairs?

These repairs must be performed by an Authorized Pontiac dealer,
except in an emergency situation when a covered part or a Pontiac
dealer is not reasonably available to the vehicle owner. It’s in your
best interest to take your Pontiac vehicle to a Pontiac dealer for all
repairs since they are the most knowledgeable about the particulars of
your vehicle.

And on this page (http://www.gm.com/experience/quality/?exist=false),
it says that the owner (not the dealer) is covered.

When you get a clue, let us know.

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.

If the warranty is to the dealer, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
requires this fact to be stated in the warranty documents. It isn't.

Stop acting like a jerk (I am giving you the benefit of the doubt when
I sat that you are only *acting* like a jerk) and giving people
information that you make that is completely false.

The auto warranties are between the car makers and the buyers. If I am
incorrect, please provide real evidence.
