what preformance mods can i do with out effecting the warrenty

 

From what I've read, and have been told, you can pretty much do any bolt-on and maybe a few "major" upgrades (unsure about which ones). The delaership has to prove that the modification did infact cause the malfunction on whatever is being worked on. So say you put a CAI (Cold Air Intake) on and the MAF went bad. They'd have to prove that the CAI did that!

Hope that helps. There was also a sticky about this, somewhere............I think General Cobalt!

 

BTW, Welcome to

 

You don't have a Warrenty on your Cobalt. You have a Warranty

Welcome also, we like proper grammEr.

 

US Code - Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312

Legally, a vehicle manufacturer cannot void the warranty on a vehicle due to an aftermarket part unless they can prove that the aftermarket part caused or contributed to the failure in the vehicle (per the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. 2302(C)) . For best results, consider working with performance-oriented dealerships with a proven history of working with customers. If your vehicle manufacturer fails to honor emission/warranty claims, contact EPA at (202) 260-2080 or www.epa.gov. If federal warranty protection is denied, contact the FTC at (202) 326-3128 or www.ftc.gov. For additional information, check out the following links:
