Sorry to bring up an old subject but it is illegal to void the warranty of the entire car by adding an aftermarket part to the vehicle. This act was enacted by the Federal Trade Commission in 1975 to protect consumers and aftermarket companies. Basically the only thing they can void is warranty on a specific component that was damaged by the aftermarket part that caused it. This must also be proven that this was the cause of the defective part.
