I was told by a Dealer that if you lift the 2007 AV it will void any Warranty, is this True?
Thanks

US Code - Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312
Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) .

Unless you want to hire lawyers and sue, be ready for plenty of opposition from some dealerships. I would suggest having it dealer installed and warranted if I were to do it again. Just my 2 pennies.
good point, they won't go down without a fightTheBeast said:Good luck though.

I'm perfectly calm, and you have no idea about my experiences with dealers, so please don't try and speak for meAvalanche Fox said:hey now, calm down... not all dealerships are like that. besides, u don't even have a lift, it's not like u've ever experienced that...

OviedoAv said:I? have had 2 lifted Avalanches, and have taken both to the delaers for work, never had a problem with warranty work. The only comments that I ever got from the dealer were.."nice truck"...
the av is not the only vehicle I've ever owned and I've been through GM arbitration before. The dealer tried to blame a electrical problem on it, it took quite a bit of time (hence my agreeing with TheBeast's post), but I got the money they charged me backAvalanche Fox said:well, since you have no lift, why don't u go ahead and explain to me how YOUR personal experiences have been regarding your lift and your av?![]()
