2008 a leap year ? I never thought of that...Sure feels good to be on the right side of a warranty expiration just once anyway...I still am amazed I even looked at the warranty or the reciept since we had the dehumidifier for so long...5 yrs to the day..How often does that really happen..I bought 5 lottery tickets...

our HP camera, we bought in a week or two prior to x-mas so we could take digital pictures. it worked well for about 6 months then started messing up. we called them on the warranty (1 year) they said ah common fix just do this and gave us some instructions and it worked untill thanksgiving and acted up again only the FIX didnt work so we called them and they said they would get back to us right away a week or two goes by and nothing. We called and emailed again. they got back and said to try the same thing which we already had done and didnt work and they said they would get right back a week goes by we call for 4th time (mind you we were emailing them too) they said sorry the warranty was now expired and they would be happy to sell us a NEW or REFURBISHED unit for the same price!?!?!? ya no thanks. I have not and will never buy a HP product again...

The funny part is that you used up your luck on the warranty so the tickets wont be any good.

Last year I drove my truck to work and it started acting up and smoking like a freight train. Now mind you, I have had LOTS of trouble with this truck over the past 5 years. Every time it "failed", the dealership was VERY helpful and had the truck fixed in no time, no charge due to warranty. Well, this last time, I was thinking, no problem, I am still under warranty. I paid for the GM Platinum 5yr/100K warranty. Well, I guess I had time warped and thought I bought the truck in July. Turns out I actually bought it in June! My warranty had expired 6 DAYS before!!! This truck only had 53K miles and had not been abused in any way. I spoke with the Service Manager and he said "normally", they could honor the claim being so close, but at the time, GM was undergoing bankruptcy and ALL warranty claims were being scrutinized, so no luck, I had to pay for the repair. It was the EGR valve, and ended up costing me $750! Talk about mad! I had a real good talking to the svc mgr, and informed him that it would be a cold day in he$$ before I would buy another GM product, and then busted GM out on the "after" service survey.

So GM wouldn't cover your truck AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS OVER so you bash them in a survey and online...?
Try buying a Ford, Chrysler, or Foriegn truck and see how much they cover AFTER THE WARRANTY ends... :mur:

So you are in NH and giving this poor guy a hard time over GM warranty! I was at the Manchester Chevy dealer and they gave me nothing but a hard time when I took my truck in there for a warranty problem. Last Chevy I will buy from them. With the cash for clunker deals the dealership didn't have time for people that buy the expensive trucks and cars. I was told to come back in a few months and they would talk to me when I tried to trade the HHR they sold me.............ended up buying a Volvo and now I am happy.

WTF does my location have to do with whether or not my opinion matters? I don't care that it's a GM, I am hardly a protector of GM's reputation, I am simply dumb-founded that this guy is complaining that a company won't cover an item out of warranty, it doesn't matter what company made it. Bashing a company for not standing by a warranty after it expired is just plain dumb...
