Warranty question

We had an auto car starter installed in the 2002 venture (after market). Is it true that this will void the warranty. Can anyone tell me where GMAC has this POLICY in writing. I can't find it ANYWHERE.

Have you asked a GM dealer if that is in writing, and if they have a copy? I know GM frowns on the matter of aftermarket remote starters. In fact, I read last year that they were considering installing their own because of all the problems that have cropped up from these. I even think I have seen some new cars with that option installed from GM. I have talked to a number of people in my area who have experienced electrical problems after having a remote starter installed in their vehicles, and they all weren't GM models. When these things became popular in the early '90s, I seen a lot of people come into the garage I was working in with assorted electrical problems. I told myself I would never get one in my vehicle. Well after I married, and we bought the Venture, my wife wanted one...badly. I kept telling her NO and that I've seen so many problems. After 3 years of nagging I finally gave in after somebody told me they had improved them. I gave it to her for a Christmas present but couldn't get it installed until March. After it was installed we had so many miscellaneous electrical problems occur such as the rear wiper would work intermittently, interior lights would stop working, directional signals would act funny,power locks would screw up, plus a host of others. Unfortuneately, the company that installed it went bankrupt and closed about a month after installing ours, and nobody else wanted to touch our van. Most of these problems subsided within a few weeks, and things went back to "normal"...until we started to use it the following winter season...

Oh yeah, I wanted to add to my previous post that my wife now agrees that it was a mistake to put that remote starter in our van. And she wished she had listened to me in the first place.

I am not an legal eagle but I believe that if you read your owners manual you will find a paragraph about contacting your dealer before you add any electrical aftermarket products to your vehicle. Yes, they can refuse to fix your car under warranty if the aftermarket product is what caused the problem in the first place.

Are you having problems or you just wanting to know?
