I'm very interested in feedback regarding this issue. A local ZCCA Club member and Z enthusiast was recently contacted by a service writer at a local Nissan dealership and was told that the dyno testing he had done on his car voided his warranty. Evidently, the dealership acted on information shared by another dealership where the dyno took place, which is owned by the same group. Aside from being livid that the dealership with the dyno facility would actively seek out and share whether cars had been dynoed that had been sold by any affiliate dealership (thanks go to the Orwellian-named 'Privacy Act'), the fact that this is a blanket denial without a failure on the car, and that it is not specifically excluded in the warranty docs (dyno testing is NOT abuse, nor is it racing) would seem to me to be a violation of the Magnusson-Moss Act. I'd be inclined to immediately get a lawyer, as well as to contact SEMA and all dyno manufacturers to get their feedback, as well as local enthusiast groups and any potential/existing customers of the dealership group to advise them of what can be expected after using the dealership's services. Especially those well-versed in law or with prior experience with this type of issue - What do you think?
