Problem With Warranty Companies
There are a large number of hidden exclusions. If someone failed to have a required oil or transmission fluid change, the warranty might not be honored. Some companies will pay a limited reimbursement or claim that the owner abused the vehicle. For example, if a car overheats, and the driver steers a mile to the nearest service station, the warranty company might claim the failure to stop invalidates coverage.
