The car made a big boom and the CEL blinked at me
The dealership took a picture of my Cobaltss.net sticker on my car for what i am not to sure, i was told i would be getting a piston/rings a rod a bearing head gasket etc but they wouldnt hone/bore the cylinder wall if i paid for them to fix it.

i say get them to pay for it, genuine stage 2 + blown engine = bullshit that they gotta fix, I can't tell you how much **** they put me through about my transmission housing cracking, but engine blowing is even more rediculous. The CAI argument blows but make them prove that you sucked up anything bad. Our intakes are actually in a very safe spot free of direct water and debree.

lol they can refuse to fix your car for anyreason basically especially with a "sports" car. **** my warranty was voided basically the day I drove it off the lot. hey voided mine for bullshit reason, even had the regional rep come down and tell me to get my car out or they were gonna charge storage fees.
But the hell with it..... the gm mech's by me are tards anyway, and my car is much faster now lol

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act
The Federal Trade Commission has enacted a law which protects you from discrimination when dealing with aftermarket products and new vehicle warranties. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act states that your original vehicle manufacturer's warranty shall not be voided if you properly install a properly functioning aftermarket product on your vehicle. If you should experience a problem with your dealership, you should direct your dealer representative to the Federal Trade Commission regarding the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act. For more information about this law and your rights as an aftermarket consumer, you may visit www.ftc.gov or contact your vehicle manufacturer. SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) is also very active in protecting aftermarket consumer rights. We encourage you to visit the official SEMA website at www.sema.org for more information. In some cases, dealers may deny the warranties for new vehicles when it is evident that a specific product and/or the installation of the product are a direct cause of the warranty claim. In many cases, new vehicle manufacturers state this in writing.
We have found that many new car dealerships DO NOT know this law and may attempt to void a warranty claim on a vehicle which has aftermarket parts installed, yet have no relationship to the warranty issue. Surprisingly, we have also found that many law enforcement officers DO NOT know this law and may attempt to issue you a citation based on your vehicle having an aftermarket product installed. If either of these issues happens to you, we advise that you contact SEMA and/or the FTC regarding your rights.
