They possibly could although they have to prove the tire size increase caused the issue but i work for GM here in Canada and we typically would not see this as an issue . Your warranty isnt void if you tow a trailer nor increasing the tire size but not all dealerships are created equal or the district service managers that say what is warranty and what is not . Lift kits are an issue though and a harder mountain to climb , excuse the pun , when fighting for warranty . The higher the lift the bigger the denial , here in Canada a customer bought a brand new truck with a Rough Country 6 inch lift installed from a dealer then rolled the truck killing him , family is suing GM , the dealer and Rough Country . Not sure what the outcome was but dealers , if they want GM backing , have stopped installing lift kits on new trucks ..

@@Lianpe98 Everything you listed is easily diagnosable and repairable at the point of failure, and usually with cheap universal parts. Not only that, you can fix all of those issues in your garage with a set of second-hand tools and an afternoon. Good luck trying to replace a broken subsystem on an electric component, it won’t happen. You’ll end up replacing the entire main system because you can’t even tell where the fault is coming from. Hello empty wallet and months of delay from electronic component shortages. Everything breaks, what makes something reliable is how easy it is to repair it.

[@Lianpe98]

@@briany990 There are plenty of "simple" failures in combustion cars that due to poor design are extremely hard or time consuming to fix and therefore expensive, like the oil gaskets in a northstar Cadillac or a modern BMW, there are also Audis that require dissasembling the entire front end, recent GM turbocharged 4 cylinders that are anything but easy to fix, the AWD system on any BMW or the infamous Ford 5.4 3 valve that is so expensive to repair when it fails that it's cheaper to simply replace the whole engine. My point is that it isn't the technology, it's the design and the quality. Mechanical components can be and often are extremely unreliable, complicated and expensive to fix.
