so if a dealer refuses warranty, or voids it altogether, can you demand a refund for the cash value that the warranty would have had?


i wonder....

 

Good question. I didn't get an extended warranty and just have the free dealer one, so no question there for me. But I think you could argue getting your money back if you paid for an extended one.

 

You can always get a refund with an extended warrenty if you haven't reached 3/36,000 yet. If you're past it, you might be able to get a partial refund.

 

The Magnusson Act states that they can't void your entire warranty due to modifying the vehicle, just what the modification could possible cause damage to.
Don't know all the details, but if you do a search, there is a link somewhere on this forum.
