So... read all that warranty material that came with the car very, very closely!
Now, what we do have that the U.S. doesn't is another level that we can take warrenty claims to if the dealer or manufacturer won't play nice. Purchasers of vehicles either new or up to four model years from new have access to the Canadian Automobile Manufacturers Vehicle Arbitration Program which offers free arbitration to consumers embroiled in warranty disputes with manufacturers. CAMVAP www.camvap.ca can (and often do) order repairs or even vehicle return in certain cases. In the couple of cases we have seen on here where warranty was refused for bearing failure even though proof of service was provided I would be willing to bet that CAMVAP would have ordered the repairs completed. |

Just one more time though

And
one more time (LOL I wanted on that band wagon as well) we have a different recourse we can turn to if they void your warranty and you don't feel that it is right. Know a couple of people that used the above and both won full repairs.
