You can consider it voided all you want, but it's not.

Say what you want but if they are not going to cover the big things when they happen, what is the point of even having a warranty.
Its ****ing pointless! Josh L |

Well, you can say the warranty as it applies to the transmission is voided can't you? Sounds like it all comes down to semantics but the end result is the same. I guess you can call it what ever you want if it makes you feel better. |

Look, I'm not defending SOA's actions here, I'm not real thrilled think that my transmission could go pop, and I could be left holding my dick in my hand. But saying Subaru weaseling out of coverage is the same as voiding a warranty is incorrect, and it gets the discussion off track. In the end, it's pay to play, and if you modify a car, you MUST accept the possibility that your warranty claims will be rejected. That's why mine will stay stock for a while longer. |

A catback exhaust and lowering springs dont do much for performance.
I even called my dealer before installing both parts to confirm that it would not void my warranty. They guy on the phone told me that he has the same car with the same springs and catback. I just dont understand why my car was not covered. It was driven like a baby and never raced. If I knew they werent going to cover it I would have beaten the **** out of it and raced it at the track instead of watching everyone else. Josh L |

And it is not just Subaru. A friend had a brand new 911 that developed a noise within a few weeks. The dealer told him he had abused it my over revving the engine. He eventually prevailed, but he is old and rich, which probably helped! |

OK...now we have ventured out of the realm of "Your warranty can not be voided" into "Manufacture doesn't support the warranty the way I think it should". Let's leave that to another thread.

ok heres my story, i have a 2003 wrx with 72000 miles on it with extended waranty. it has a cat-back exhaust and header/up-pipe with a new act pro street clutch all install by me. 2 days ago driving back from work pick up my dad from my cousin place and pull to a stop light. i was the 3 car behind the other two on the stop light. turn green went smooth shift to 2nd around 3000 rpm getting up to speed because the street turn into a freeway. than boom, gear gets stuck in 2nd pull to the side of the road, pulled out of 2nd gear. looks like my 2nd gear went out. i was wondering if my tranny will be cover under the drive train waranty.

Talk to your dealer, did you buy the car used and modified, or did you do the work yourself? Aftermarket clutches on WRX's seems to be pretty much a recipe for disaster, so I wouldn't hold out hope.

i bought it with a cat-back and got the extended warranty. car is used. the clutch i got was pretty much just like stock just not oem. cant really see that any of these would cause a 2nd gear failure.

.....don't forget about the header and up-pipe. Also, the failure could have easily been the end result of a latent problem caused by the power increase, past abuse or (possibily) a defect. .....it all depends on what they find when they open it up.

I took my 04 STi in with 25,000 miles because it had a cracked exhaust housing on the turbo. They didnt cover it because I had a downpipe
"you have a downpipe which causes the exhaust to heat up and thats what cracked it. I told them if anything it helps the flow of the exhaust which would aid in cooling. "well you could of over torque it and cracked it" I guess this "you warrenty is not voided" talk only works when you take some sort of legal action. |

Because you put a less restrictive downpipe on your exhaust system, you very likely caused that cracked housing at the waste gate. Your car suffered from boost creep because of it. They are in their right to deny this.

Half of you posting in here really show that you are just stubborn or just clueless.
The warranty CLAIM(as in the repair claim from your dealer or from SOA) is what is voided, not the entire warranty. Say if you come in with an 05 STI with 25k on it and have an engine overheating issue and your cd player wont take a CD. You took care of the maintenance and forgot to add coolant when you drained it, they will void that claim on the engine/overheating, but still will cover the CD Player under a seperate warranty claim for you. The Warranty claim on the engine was denied, but the warranty claim on the CD player was valid. So according to all of you who think the warranty is voided because you didn't get your way at the dealership, should be paying for a new CD player too and not even bother to submit a claim for it. The way I see it, if you want to play, then you certainly can afford to pay. If you do, then dont cry when it is time to pay. |

All manufacturers have a warranty and yes if there wasn't one, NO ONE would spend a dime on a car. That is a selling perk of ALL brands. I have plenty of customers come in and get their cars fixed under warranty. I also have people that come in and try to blow smoke up my butt thinking I am stupid. I know what a fried clutch looks like at 4400 miles and can tell that you burnt it up trying to get out from being stuck. The sand all under the frame and trans crossmembers proves that. I drag race and mod both cars and into the racing scene heavily and can tell you that most, not all but most who modify their car, do it for a reason and chances are, there is racing or abuse involved. I have the same passion as most of my STI/WRX customers. |

Not a problem. Sometimes some get so upset about it, they refuse to listen to what the deal really is. Working in the Automotive Repair business for 5 years now I havent seen an entire warranty voided.

Unlikely, but possible. It really depends on what the damage is though.
