Tunes void warranty?
#41
No argument there Matt. Ford Racing picks up the warranty once installed. His other claim about FRPP not being Ford is wrong though.
I am simply referring to the dealers liability selling you a modified car. Not who the mod came from or what it is. I'm not sure I follow that last part. Ford Racing does their own calibrations. They are not "contracted out" to other companies.

This is not just Ford. All the manufacturers are now looking for mods and especially racing of the cars when mechanical failures take place. I have been on another forum, for a foreign maker, who is really questioning every engine failure.

On my 05, I would reset it back to the stock tune and take off the CAI when I took it into the dealership for any work than I would reinstall the SCT tune and CAI when I got back home. Never had a problem at the dealership. Sounds like the problem is on the newer models 2010-2011.

Yeah, as I stated according to my service guy at my dealership he states they would KNOW by looking at the car's computer system that it has been tampered with on the 2010-2011's. But on this thred here Chris states different.

So I really don't know what to believe. I guess better to be safe then sorry.

Dealers that take it upon themselves to submit warranty claims without the proper documentation or the required preapproval runs the risk of eating the cost of repair or trying to extract that cost from you.
Will some people get away with stuff? Sure. Just be forewarned ...

They can't see what you did to your PCM. We simply replace the binary with ours and then swap it back out for stock when you click "Return to Stock". That's all there is. Many people use this to trick Ford into paying out warranty claims. I don't condone that, but I do understand it if the warranty claim is obviously unrelated to the custom tunes. A custom tune isn't going to cause your window motor to fail. Nor is it going to cause a control arm bushing to rot out, etc.
Ford has been getting more and more strict. It really depends on individual dealerships and service writers, at the end of the day. I've seen dealers let people get away with murder (superchargers, nitrous, etc.). I've seen dealers void a warranty over a tune when someone brought a car in for an oil-change (which he fought and won). I've seen everywhere in between. SVT dealers are sometimes more lenient. Sometimes SVT dealers are even more brutal. Dealerships have personalities like women!
