Sears
Five year protection plan covers only four years after warranty

I purchased 5 yr. Extended warranty policy when I purchased new dish washer in Sears store. After I get home, I realize that the policy expiration date is 1 yr. Shorter than I expect. After calling store back, I was informed that 5 yr. Master product protection plan is actually 4 yr-1st yr. Is under manufacturer warranty. The person on the phone advised me that it's written on policy and he can not do anything about it. After reading through the entire pre-print document, I finally locate this statement. However,

1. The term of 5 yr. Is not true and shall not be called 5 yr. Plan. Car extended warranty policy kicks in after initial warranty expires. Why and how can this policy be written in this tricky term? Can 90% Fat Free milk be labeled as 100% Fat Free milk? Can 55% Poly; 45% Cotton fabric be called cotton rich? What happened to Federal Fair trade regulation?

2. The sales rep in store never explained this REALITY. Shouldn't customer be informed needed information in details prior to purchase?
