Dissapointing year end with my Roush 427R

Who will determine what the line ought to be, and who will deal with the next person who comes in and says he's got another one with 10 years plus a day?

I also note that there seems to be folks out there who come in and post only after they've had a problem and expect everyone to jump on the bandwagen. Why not join in and post earlier on when initial problems (such as oil consumption) start up? Makes one feel a bit used.

Folks that have been around here and put their toes in the water are known by others...there's a certain amount of credibility that comes with that.

If you went to court, you'd lose. There's a reason for that. Announcing to others that a company should be tarred and feathered because they won't make an exception in your case where the time lapse is not even close to the warranty period...sorry, I don't buy into that. If you approached them on that basis and demanded they cover it, well, maybe they're going to be less inclined to extend a helping hand. I'm sure you can say you were really nice and all, but how do we know how you act? All of your posts are in this thread.

You want a lifetime warranty? Get a Zippo, a Swiss Army knife or a Fisher Space Pen. Hartmann's damn good about their travel bag zippers too. other than that...read the warranty when you buy something. It's not like it's new concept.

As to others who have had problems with this particular company (or others for that matter) during a warranty period (or a damn sight closer to it after notifying folks of the problem before expiration), I say hell ya...raise some stink and hold their feet to the fire if you have to.

Just my thoughts on the matter. You post here...expect feedback. That's the way it works.

Dude, this has "I'm a lawyer" written all over it.
