Parts Installed By At Car’s Factory, THEN your covered.
It’s ideal to avoid buying a vehicle that’s been modified by a third celebration. What you can do is ask a dealership to install authentic branded parts or accessories in your automobile that fill your needs.
Common aftermarket accessories include: alarms, DVD players, remote starters, stereos, navigation systems, back-up cameras, and sunroofs. However, you should insist on a vehicle with factory-installed accessories or components.
The deal with this is you have to wait for the dealership to either tracked down the automobile you’re looking for, or order it from the factory. The upside is that if you’ve problems with any of the accessories on your vehicle, it won’t void the warranty like aftermarket products might.
Aftermarket components are typically installed by third-party facilities & not the manufacturer or the dealer. The selling dealer usually does not extend any warranty covering these components. The manufacturers warranty does not cover them because they aren’t the manufacturers components.
Sometimes even the third-party component maker won’t offer you any kind of a warranty on their products. if you find you’re having trouble with aftermarket components or that they might be interfering with the factory components, you might just be out of luck.
Very likely, your state’s lemon laws will not apply to your situation. We hear many cases, where things go horribly wrong with buyers of automobiles that have aftermarket components installed.
* The battery went absolutely dead when a remote starter was installed wrong.
* The third-party sunroof, ended up funneling rainwater right inside the vehicle.
* An incorrectly installed DVD player actually kept the vehicle from starting.
* The highway guidance system from a third celebration messed up the whole electrical system in the vehicle.
Although these were serious problems, the state’s lemon laws didn’t apply. As a result, these people either lived with the problems are caused, or had the components removed at their own expense
Components or accessories added to you automobile might just void the automobiles warranty and cost you plenty in the long run.
