It's very disappointing but at the same time you have one in million dealer who is willing to accept responsibility and compensate you.I would recommend that dealer to everyone I know.

Oh don't get me wrong, I am very happy with my dealer they did a great job fixing the problem, the only reason I havent said which one it is is because of the initial problem that happened otherwise its been a great experience and I would not want to bad mouth them in any way.

I think you should ID the dealer, seems more than stand up taking care of the issue, this is good.

In a year it won't make any difference but you will still have that extended plan.

Does this mean for the next 5 years you can't do any engine mods or add true duals or a tuner for fear it will void your warranty?
