Lemon-aid site (secret warranties, advice, help, etc)

First, here is a link for getting a laugh or two:

Here is a link that might be of use to some of the folks that are getting "dicked-around" on brake warp issues, transmission problems, and other issues:

"The art of complaining"

Hey, does this sound familiar to some of the folks that had to fight to get the rotors and pads covered?

Common Secret Warranty Refusals

1. You're too late

2. Mileage is too high

3. Work was done by an independent garage

4. Your vehicle wasn't in the select group

5. Doesn't apply to used vehicles


And, an excerpt...


"Successful Replies

1. You're too late.
Of course I am. You're late, too—in notifying me I had additional warranty rights. I wouldn't have been late if I had been notified this extended warranty existed. Nevertheless, I will accept a pro-rata offer from automaker and dealer that may be a bit less than what the original extended warranty program entitled me (I don't recommend you settle for less than a three-fourths payout shared by the dealer and automaker).

2. Mileage is too high.
Mileage has nothing to do with problem ( i.e. paint). Mileage would not have been so high if I knew earlier this program existed. You cannot penalize me for your failure to notify me. Nevertheless, I will accept a pro-rata offer from automaker and dealer that may be a bit less than what the original extended warranty program entitled me (again, I don't recommend you settle for less than a three-fourths payout shared by the dealer and automaker).
