The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Here, have another couple helpings. http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/auto/car-guide/outofwarrnty.asphttp://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=721&scid=112http://www.lemonaidcars.com/secret_warranties.htmQuote:
Getting your money back from an automaker or dealer is easyââ?¬â?if you use the hundreds of confidential service bulletins and unreported court decisions found only in the annual Lemon-Aid New and Used Car and Truck guides. Here are the top ten auto problems covered by secret warranties:
GM, Ford, and Chrysler paint delaminationââ?¬â?Paint turns white and peels. Pictures, plus, the Saskatchewan judgment where a GM owner got $3,000 a decade after buying her car
GM, Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota rotten-egg exhaustââ?¬â?Reprints of ââ?¬Å?smoking gunââ?¬Â bulletins that blame the catalytic converter; replacement is usually covered by the emissions warranty.
GM inaccurate fuel gauges (registers Full when tank is Empty)ââ?¬â?More secret bulletins where GM admit its error. Problem can be caused by high-sulfur Shell or Texaco fuel, a faulty fuel pump and sensor, or a defective catalytic converter; this repair may also be covered by the emissions warranty.
GM, Saturn, Ford, and Chrysler engine head gasketsââ?¬â?Too many service bulletins in the book to count, plus some important court cases that nailed Fordââ?¬â?¢s hide to the wall. This failure can ruin your engine if not fixed in time. Symptoms: overheating, windows fog up, and poor gas mileage
GM and Ford engine intake manifoldsââ?¬â?Same as above, plus, pictures of the defect.
GM, Ford, and Chrysler automatic transmissionsââ?¬â?GMââ?¬â?¢s internal bulletins say the problem affects all GM cars and trucks because the companyââ?¬â?¢s own tranny design is faulty. GM, Ford, and Chrysler failures usually begin with slow or harsh shifting, slipping, or the tranny stuck in low gear.
Chrysler AC evaporatorsââ?¬â?Use Chryslerââ?¬â?¢s own document as a benchmark; it says repair or replacement should be free up to 7 years.
Ford Windstar front springsââ?¬â?We have the proof in Lemon-Aid that Ford will pay for new springs up to 10 years.
GM minivan roof rustââ?¬â?According to GMââ?¬â?¢s own service bulletin, 1997-2003 minivans will get a new roof and 10 hours of free labour to fix rust holes
GM diesel enginesââ?¬â?Owners of 1994-2000 6.5L diesel-equipped trucks will get free fuel pump replacements up to 11 years/193,000 km.
Honda and Toyota engines and transmissionsââ?¬â?Both companies will extend free ââ?¬Å?goodwillââ?¬Â repairs up to 8 years.

how is that a 'hidden warranty'? Looks to me as if those are TSBs... Originally posted by MFE: Here, have another couple helpings.

Yeah, TSBs that have goodwill, unpublished, non-public, undisclosed warranties behind them. If you chuckleheads would put down the standup routine for 30 seconds you might learn something. And whatever you do, don't quit your day jobs.

I was actually thinking about quitting my job so that I could paruse forums all day and crack jokes. Hopefully the forums will just pay me per joke to keep their forum light hearted. I think with your new piece of advice, I'll just stick with my job I have now.
