Sounds like I'm not the only one that's got an extended warranty that's worth less than the value of the paper it was printed on :-(
Had two dealings with warranty people.
First- Ford, I bought a Shelby GT500 used, got the Platinum warranty. Had the car for 6 months, put some engine visual mods on (one of which was a Moroso stainless battery cover). It spat a plug, I was advised by a friend to take everything off to avoid issues with them calling me out for goofy mods potentially voiding warranty (ironic). I took the box off (had to undo cables to get it off) and got a call saying I only had 8 ignition counts since I bought the car, they were gonna deny the warranty and charge me $8k for a set of heads. The ECU did a hard reset when I left the battery out for too long apparently.
Second- Dodge, like 6 months ago I turn car on and hear a vicious screaming noise. I assume the worst but car is literally untouched so it goes to a Mopar dealer. Get a call 2 days later that the blower wasn't bad, it was the serpentine tensioner that died. It'll be $800 to get it back as THEY HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED A NEW ONE, WITH BELT, without calling me first. I tell them its under warranty. Send them the literal text from dodges site that specifies that exact part under powertrain. He says "no its limited, not powertrain". I asked him to take the belt off and tensioner off, and turn the car on. If he can do that, I would consider it something other than powertrain, but since thats not possible it by definition is powertrain. After 2 weeks of back and forth with absolutely no help from FCA, I had to leave work early to go in person and see wtf was up. I get there and they had an entirely different vin entered in for my car. Even after the mix-up was fixed, they still wanted to deny it because of my speed registered, they stated it was considered harmful driving and that the tensioner blew up because of that. They didn't think it was odd that a car tagged, and driven in MD was under warranty by an owner who lives in Sacramento...I ended up having them take everything off the car and doing it myself. I then surpassed the age of warranty (60months) so I dont have to deal with this bs anymore
For every 10 bad warranty story there's maybe 1 good one where the owner made out whole. I'll take my chances at the casino before I accept those odds.
