but aren't anytime you take ur car to the dealership to be fixed under warranty, they make you sign a paper saying that if it turns out not being under warranty u'll have to pay for what was being worked on...they can't just take a car in and then start working and decide its not under warranty and all of a sudden hold ur car hostage right?

Check your local laws, as well. Michigan has a law requiring a written estimate be provided to and signed by the car owner before any work is done.

They told me that if any of the parts they offered service on gets faulty, I would be denied warranty. I just ended up challenging them to not giving me warranty Ill take them to the Customer Services Bureau... So they chilled
