WARRENTY?

Rhyno · #1 10-23-2003, 03:38 AM

If you break your tierod and CV joint well offroading should it be covered under warrenty? It was my second time offroading in my H2 and I went too see how much articulation I had, I drove up a hill sideways and BANG the tierod and CV broke. What do you guys think.

Sometimes I wished most of them would. Most are just too smart to fall for that trick.
What's 100 lawayers driving their H2's over a cliff? A good start.

A buddy of mine broke up his new Jeep Chreeoke several years ago. Now he is a lawyer. The dealership said the driveshaft and all the other stuff would not be covered under warranty. He said he was not doing anything he had not seen in a jeep TV ad. If you don't fix it I will sue for repairs and fraud. They fixed everything. They were really pi$$ he never bothered to hose the mud off. He just had it loaded on a flat bed and taken back to the dealer. Now I have noticed the H2 ads are pretty tame compaired to the old Jeep ads. Maybe the word got out?

WOW 26 replies! Well to give you guys some more info, I had just started wheeling and about five minutes in I decided I wanted to see how my H2 articulated. I was on a road that had dirt banks on both sides so I decied to drive up the bank on a 45' angle I gave it some gas and bang the tie rod, brake line and cv blew. I got my H2 from southgate in edmonton and the broken parts have been sent there for the service department to decied if they will warrenty them or not. My truck is in great shape NO scratches and No signs of abuse.

As I understand it dennis, they were in the wrong, they headed up when they should have waited, tried to get out of the way, the front unloaded causing it to go over, and over, and over...

You’re only doing what they do in the H2 commercials. Right? Then it should be covered! BIG-C

If you spend $50k plus on a truck that was made to offroad everything should be covered.

I have 37" Super Swamper SSR's that measure 35" tall. This is the second tierod that has broken, the first one broke in a accident. The Parts manager thinks that the tierod must of hit a rock and when it broke the tire traveled past its limits causing the cv to break. I didn't even no the brake line was broken untill the parts manager told me.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey wait....doesn`t putting bigger tires affect the warranty? Or I may be wrong.

hmmm, I am having a hard time believing the CJ just went from a sudden thrust of the wheel when the tie rod went. I mean, that IFS isn't that strong, but should have taken that with no problems
Why did the brake line go?

It boils down to this guys, how you aproach the situation. Depending on how the rig looks, will determin how you can get it covered, like as in does it look like It was wheeled. Only a very SMALL portion of parts are sent back, and that has no bearing to it being covered, since all that happens after the fact, after the repair has been made. Now, if it was failed, and the dealer covers it, and it gets sent back, and GM frowns on the repair, the dealer is dinged the $$ back to gm..

Ok.. small question.. If you break your stuff off road.. WHy tell them... " Well officer I was driving down the road felt a major bump then my car wouldn't go no more1. Off road, are you kidding this thing costs more then $50K do you think I would be crazy enough to take it off the road?' Shot in the dark.. or turn into Insurance because a Deer ran out in front of you and when you ran over it it broke your stuff.. Animal attacks on vec are a Comp. Loss , not a collison loss. Just a thought.
