Freeway Ford here in Denver told me that my ford was out of warranty and billed me 450 for a 100 dollar repair. I looked it up on the internet and found the item they repaired was most certainly under warranty, sent a copy of the invoice to Ford, and received a check by return mail for the entire bill.

Reichenbach Volvo here in Denver did the exact same thing with my wife's Volvo, except the bill was 2400 dollars, and they said it wasn't covered by warranty. I went up on the internet and found that it was in fact covered by warranty. I sent a copy of the Invoice to Volvo North America, and by return mail received a check for the entire amount.

The dealers are charging the customer, and then also turning the repair into the manufacturer for reimbursement, for work "done under warranty".
The auto makers know this is going on, but refuse to do anything about it.............they are as culpable as the dealers as far as i am concerned.........

Everyone has to realize that almost everything in our lives is a scam........False Advertising went out in the Reagan administration, etc etc. That is why Corporate America loathes Elizabeth Warren.....She promised that the Consumer Protection Agency would start busting corporations right and left for their corrupt practices...............
