Stellantis will do this kind of tricks to refuse warranty on a brand new vehicle - long story short at 18k kms during normal driving in the city my engine died. Turned out a valve seized, bent and wreaked havoc inside - cracked block, pistons, etc. Stellantis blamed it on a "heavily modified" suspension - aka 2.5inch MetalCloak Game Changer kit. Ended up paying 30% of the cost after a lot of arguments and the "good will" of Stellantis to support their customers.
Then I lost the transmission due to sand ingress - was fully covered under warranty. Go figure.
