I am wondering why people with a 5 model year old used car think that GM should pay for a repair? The warranty on GM cars and trucks is 3 years 36K miles which ever comes first. The PCM and cat convertor is 8 years 80K miles.

This always puzzles me. People with a problem in the car expect everything to be free no matter how many years or miles on on the car. I have dealt with car owners bringing their 10 year old car into the shop wondering why we don't fix it for free. I have seen people break shit on their car and wonder why it isn't fixed for free. I have seen people alter their cars and it causes problems yet they want it fixed for free. The warranty is for defects in material and workmanship not abuse, use or alteration. I hear daily about this breaking or that breaking on my 7 year old car and it should be a recall fixed for free. I have dealt with people that never changed their oil in 2 years wondering why the engine blew apart and that it should be fixed for free. Truthfully I don't understand car owners most of the time.
