What Is a Vehicle Warranty?
- A warranty is a guarantee by the manufacture that the vehicle will function appropriately. Customers may purchase an extended warranty for used vehicles through third parties, if they wish. Any major defects found during the warranty period will be repaired or replaced by the warranty provider or manufacturer.
- Most basic warranties range 3 to 5 years, or 36,000 miles to 999,000 miles.
- Powertrain warranties cover the transmission, engine, axles and drive train, and are usually 10 years to life.
- Buyers can be protected from corrosion and rust that cause holes in the vehicle's body.
- Road assistance assures buyers they will be aided when stranded or locked out of their vehicle.
