Denso Wire Set Issues and Warranty
So I purchased some tune-up parts a ways back knowing I would do the tune-up down the road. All were Denso which included a wire set, plugs, cap & rotor. The other day I decided to do install the parts and two of the plug wire connector that sit inside the boot were loose and when I pushed them on the plug it would not securely stay on the plug. I pulled the two problem wires off and the connectors was stuck on the plugs. The third wire which is my #3 cylinder wire had a cut on the wire insulation itself which exposed the wire, which I found out the hard way. So I had to use 3 of my old wires to keep me on the road for the time being before I grab another set.
I've tried reaching out to Denso USA through their Long Beach Branch and through their websites contact fill in page but have yet to receive a response back. Anyone had any issues with these wires and used Denso Warranty service before ?

So I got a hold of Denso USA through their Long Beach location and spoke to Sheryl I believe was her name. I was flat out told I am SOL since Denso does not have a warranty for Maintenance products such as ignition wires even if they are defective from the factory.
I guess from now on I will be giving my Business exclusively to NGK, thought I should let yall know. I am really pissed to be honest, I heard great things about Denso wires and wanted to use OEM parts for my 4Runner but the first time I do I feel like I got screwed. Either way I hope yall out there don't have to deal with this kinda stuff when using Denso parts.

I purchased them over a month ago and that is outside of the return/exchange policy from where I originally bought them from. I tried to exchange them but was told I should contact the Manufacturer. The wires sat in their box for a month with the rest of the parts I purchased until I installed them the other day.
Ignition Wires Set # 671-6171 were the wires that were used. I am just really surprised that Denso does not Warranty defective parts.

Well I made a post on Denso's Facebook about this and I was directed to email their product manager. Matt Ford from Denso is hooking me up with a new wire set and I am pleased to say Denso has stepped up and are a Class Act.
