Now ADs cannot void your warranty!

[RogerNg_185295]

LTA can say, but they may not enforce. Thats where the risk is.

i was surprise he say yes to u.

i thought LTA law say now AD must honour the warrently even if service outside??

 

anw  just to highlight a case,

my neighbour commerical nissan van had some major repair @20k under warrently.

after that he went servicing outside all the way

 

@around 60k, breakdown again, he went back nissan got foc repair/replacement.

AD and PI can say what they want, it the still subject to how the law interpret it. of course most of us won't spend money to fight such case because the lawyer fee will cost more than your repair. However, if they find someone just to prove a point, i am sure they will do private settlement.

 

so, buy one with less such issue and if you still must stick to a problematic one, just pay lah.

IMO, if you are within the warranty period and are worried, stick with the AD..

I wanted to quote the law when he said yes but don't feel like wasting his and my time since i'm not a real buyer. He probably sensed that too thus just want to brush me aside...

But people want to save money. They want the warranty but find agent servicing too expensive. They want to have the cake and eat it

According to the Service Advisor...He said 100% can service at other workshop for AD warranty car 

 

But the thing is...WS must use only AD approved oil and parts for servicing 

 

And in the event when wanna claimed warranty AD will assess the damage whether is caused by other WS or Manufacturer Fault 

 

Nowadays even DashCam, Coding or even retrofitting original equipment also warranty gone 

 

Then he said...play safe warranty period bear with AD better 

 

No point taking risk right

It is NOT under LTA.

 

It's under Competition Commission

Do you have a service booklet? Usually you will be able to find what is covered. eg: engine/gearbox warranty XX years, Headunit/ entertainment system XX year.

 

Usually the entertainment system has warranty for around 1 year. Just call and ask. Scared?

Was at KIA showroom over the weekend looking at Stinger. During my conversation with the SA, he highlighted the warranties for the car which i asked "if i service outside, all warranties are void ?". He replied "yes".

 

As i was just window-shopping, i moved on without probing much.

 

End of day, i'm skeptical of ADs honoring warranty when servicing not done with them. Will be great if they does but not surprise if warranty will still be void.

Never believe what a salesman tells you - do your own research.

The nine major dealers here for marques like Chevrolet, Toyota, Mazda, Kia and Hyundai have agreed to remove the restrictive warranty terms by Dec 31.

I am not referring to the entertainment system warranty......want i meant is will AD claimed that by changing the entertainment system it will affect other parts of the wiring system which will void the warranty....eg headlight lamp blow, the speedometer screen go haywire, etc?? :(

Yes. They will do that. It's a lot of time and effort to troubleshoot such stuff and they definitely will charge you Edited October 26, 2018 by RogerNg_185295

Never believe what is reported in newspaper.

 

Warranty terms has to be updated.  Otherwise, useless.

 

Has CCS follow up with respective dealers to ensure compliance?

So what is the conclusion?

 

Is this fake news?

 

So warranty will be void if service outside of the agent?

What's T&C service outside of AD?

 

Any thing that has no followup or enforcement is bird talk only.

My AD car is registered in 14 June 2012. With extended warranty for hybrids batteries up to 10 years. Now Borneo motor denied warranty and claim that servicing has to be done by them to honor the battery warranty when other workshop did not touch the hybrid battery. What’s should I do?

[Vratenza]

This just highlights what almost every MCFers here warn about those "attractive" fancy 10 yrs warranty by ADs.....

 

usually it means you are subjected to terms and conditions to tie  you down to the AD's workshop to "enjoy" the marked up servicing costs which they use to cover any potential warranty claim.

 

My advice is to look at your purchase documents fine prints....but highly likely you got to suck it up.
