surfaced semanticallyUsed Car Dealers Delay Warranty Repairs Until Problems Qualify as Routine Maintenance
Used car retailers ignore early customer reports of defects long enough for problems to escalate from warranty-covered conditions to routine maintenance exclusions, then deny claims on those grounds.
