And your suggestion is probably wrong. Most of the attorneys I know handle these cases with a 1) we win, I get paid by the Defendants or 2) we lose and I don’t get paid. Read more

I dismiss posts that contain profanity aimed at me.

There was a time when Chrysler was denying claims on Jeeps if they were taken off road. Despite the fact that the literature, advertising and even the warranty manuals showed Jeeps off-road. They tried the old “Do as we say, not as we illustrate” argument. Kind of hard to make that to a jury, however.

They can deny the claim. You would then have to sue them. They would then have to prove that you failed to maintain the vehicle properly. It would help their case if you had no records.

Yes, that is the point. They can’t just SAY that they think someone abused the car - they’d have to prove it. Of course, they could deny your claim to see what you would do and then you’d have to sue them. Read more

The ones I saw the most were when some engines had known sludging problems. But if you could not provide a receipt for every single oil change back to Day One, they’d deny the claim. Even though every one of the engines had the problem.

I’ve never heard of a warranty claim being denied before the dealership even saw the car.

Where does it say that it would void the warranty?

But they still have to get the work approved. It can happen that they send in the request and someone from the factory decides to take a look at it before the authorize a whole engine replacement (etc).

Most attorneys I know will consult for free and then, if you have a good Mag Moss or Lemon Law claim, handle it for free - hoping to get paid by the defendants when you win. If you lose, no one gets paid.

I used to have a toll-free number. And the only one who used it was a client who lived one county over. Took it as an invite to call me every day for updates.
