Elizabeth asked:


I got a new treadmill, but it squeaked when I ran, so they replaced the drive belt. That fixed the squeak, but it was a brand new somewhat pricey treadmill, and I’m concerned about it already having replaced parts. It’s still under warranty, so should I try to return it altogether and get a new one, push to have the warranty period extended a little, or is it as good as new with the new drive belt? Thanks!

   Hey!

   If you purchased a new treadmill and it is giving problems, to the extent that you have to replace a part, take it back. If one thing is going already, then another is sure to follow. The last thing you want is gamble on the treadmill being fine, and then the warranty runs out. It’s better to get it replaced now, and save yourself the uncertainty.

   Good Luck!

   still as good as new if you bought a new car and had to have a new fan belt put on under warranty you wouldn’t try to get a new car would you?
