I remember someone who bought a low-mileage used car under warranty. The transmission started acting funny and making strange noises, but the dealer wouldn't do any repairs because it worked. I think he was about 8 months into a 12 month warranty.

He drove in such a way as to make sure it didn't work before the warranty was up, and then they fixed it.

Surely driving the vehicle in a manner that was certain to break the transmission within 4 months caused no other excessive wear in the vehicle, right? Sounds like a terrible idea, really.
