Consumer Protection Act. (Canada)
Any manufacturer or vehicle dealer stating that any
aftermarket product installed on your vehicle will void your
vehicle’s warranty is a violation of the Consumer protection
laws established by the federal, provincial and territorial
governments. The manufacturer or vehicle dealer would have
to prove in a court of law that the after market product had
a direct impact on whatever part or parts that you wanted
changed under warranty before they could void the warranty
of the vehicle. A properly installed remote starting system
can’t have any negative effects on your vehicle.
All the Provinces have a Sale of Goods Act, which are the
laws governing contracts for the sale of goods and implied
warranties. Certain related warranty provisions may also be
contained in other statutes. Such legislation may establish
the basis for a private right of action against a merchant.
Certain Provinces have also enacted much more extensive
consumer warranty legislation. See
New
Brunswick’s Consumer Product Warranty and Liability Act (S.N.B.
1978, c. C-18.1) and Part III of the Saskatchewan’s Consumer
Protection Act (S.S. 1996, c. C-30.1)
Many provinces have Business Practices Acts, to contact
representatives in the provinces for more information you
