Almost every major product (and many services) sold in the U.S. advertise a warranty from the manufacturer or seller to protect your purchase. However, many times the warranties advertised become vastly different when put into practice or a claim is made by a consumer. Often times the pages of fine print that come with that "limited warranty" become a loophole so the seller can avoid warranting. Should sellers or manufacturers be allowed to limit their warranties in such a non-obvious manner?

Also, describe a personal experience you have had with a warranty claim. How easy was the process? Did you receive a repaired or replaced product or service? Do you feel as though the warranty was honored in the way it was advertised to you?
