As any other car company, you can't mod your car without the dealership voiding your warranty. Some companies will over look a few things. Hell I got my motor rebuilt by GM with NO2 on it. I just happened to find a dealership that was cool with it. And as for your "built" car, no doubt your car can wear out a stock car, But if you were to take your car stock to this one stock, it would own your car. Don't go thinking that there are not cars out there that are not going to own you all day long.

This thread started with a completely inaccurate statement and lost control from there.
And also, NO, your warranty can't be voided unless the dealership can show the mods contributed to the part failure. For example, if you install a supercharger on your car, and the power motor in your seats fail, your warranty is not "voided" because of the aftermarket part being installed. ****, if you blow your motor and you changed gears in the rear, added a CAI, added a shift kit to the tranny, ran drag slicks, your motor is still covered under warranty.
Educate yourself here:
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C))

your all full of do-do! It pretty much comes down to the dealerships intially. If you spray and blow the rear-end, most times dealerships are going to say "so sorry charlie", you voided your warranty with the mod. Now if you fight them and take it to the regional warranty person it might be overruled.
I had a local dealership ask me about a mod I wanted to do and told me they raced also and would hellp me with the install. A lid intall I think. Then later the water pump went out and I took in for warranty on the water pump and they had annotated on my record that I raced the car and that the warranty was void. How about that fucked up ****.

This may be true but it misses the point.
They have the right to void your warranty IF they can prove your aftermarket part caused the part failure of the part you want warrantied. <--THAT'S THE POINT, AND THAT ENTAILS OUR RIGHTS.
If they voided the warranty on your water pump because of a lid install, I'd say you didn't know your rights, you should have educated yourself, and I hoped they lubed up before they gave it to you.

lol at this thread, yes you if you modify even a ford you your warranty will be jeopardized, as for the correct spelling from spooky, your just retarded, no one here cares that your modified car can beat the new camaro hell at only 23k miles id say you ruined your with all the **** you have, just my opinion because you may still have the factory warranty as for putting bolt ons on your car, if your going to go through the trouble of buying them and installing them, how hard would it be to remove them before you go back to the dealership for warranty work, its the price you pay for wanting to faster than the car was built to go.

Mitsubishi had every right to void all the warranty's of people who where doing any sort of racing (i owned an evo and beat the **** out of it every day for almost 2 years). No reason a corporation should have to pay to fix every morons mistakes. Thats what makes it harder for normal people who actually get a defective part to get warranty work covered.
If you are going to play you better be able to pay for what ever you break.

They can also void a warranty if the vehicle is being used in a competitive environment. No Company will warranty "wear items" such as clutches and brake pads.
