Used 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. Buyers who attempt good-faith resolution immediately after purchase are systemically disadvantaged by this delay-and-reclassify pattern. The approach transfers repair costs to consumers for failures that originated before purchase.
