I don't understand how his warranty isn't void for operating the vehicle as a taxi.

Why would it be? When you buy a vehicle, you get a warranty that covers you for either X years or Y miles(or both). What difference does it make if you do those Y miles driving for pleasure or for work? It's the same to the car. I would be really really surprised if they refused to honour his warranty because he was using it as a taxi.

  He has the 'infinite mile' warranty, which is offered with certain assumptions that definitely aren't holding in his case.

  Most vehicle warranties specifically state using a vehicle for work or fleet is not included in the original warranty. Same thing for insurance.

    Insurance, sure. But show me one vehicle warranty that varies between personal/commercial use. I've had Peugeots, Land Rover, Nissan, Citroen and most recently a Mercedes(some of those I've purchased under business contracts and used for work) - none of their warranty booklets made any distinction between personal and commercial use, and frankly - I don't think that by law they can. The only thing that maybe applies if you are using the car commercially is the "heavy use" servicing schedule, so instead of changing the oil every 16 thousand miles you have to do it every 10.

      Chrysler has a specific fleet warranty that calls out using vehicles for work.

        Fleet vehicles and work vehicles are different things. Fleet generally refers to the purchase process. Fleet sales are when a company is buying greater than X number of cars, and they likely purchase a separate warranty. They go through a separate department (fleet sales). If someone walks into a lot and purchases a vehicle, the warranty likely covers them if they use it as a work truck (for example).
