He took the truck into the Ford dealership when he starting hearing noises from the engine, they told him that the problem with the engine was from the filter and the WHOLE engine needed to be replaced. Hi there I live in Prince George British Columbia and my husband just bought a 2007 Ford in January 2010, which came with a warranty and he also purchased a $3,000 extended warranty.

We have represented many organized drivers in these types of breach of warranty claims and manufacturers have no idea what hit them! If you have proof that you have covered all of your responsibilities and the manufacturer still is not covering the repair under warranty, that is where we step in. If you choose to change the oil yourself, you want to keep the store receipt and the proof of purchase, as well as keep a written log. Those receipts outline the date and mileage of the service. There is nothing wrong with going to Jiffy Lube or Grease Monkey but hold to those receipts do not discard them with the egg mcmuffin wrapper from the sandwich you enjoyed in the waiting room. Now more than ever, as manufacturers continue to look at the bottom line, it is imperative that you keep records of all maintenance. Why? because the consumer did not keep proof that he fulfilled his responsibilities. Perhaps, he went to a franchise, but when and how many miles were on the car? Did he take it to his mechanic? Did he change the oil himself? Before he knows it, the consumer is socked with a repair bill in the thousands and there is nothing anyone can do about it, including us. He doesn’t remember if and when he got his oil changed. The dealer blames the problem on engine sludge and asks to see the driver’s oil change receipts confirming that they have cared for the car as outlined in the owner’s manual. After all, he is under manufacturers warranty and therefore there should be no issue with the car being fixed, right? The car starts to sputter, the service engine soon light comes on, and then all of a sudden, the distressed driver finds himself stuck in the middle of a busy highway. ![]() An interesting article today in AOL’s automotive section sparks a debate we have seen many times over the years: Will an oil change void your manufacturer’s warranty? A consumer starts to encounter problems with their engine.
