Powertrain warranty on a 3 yr old honda civic?

hi, i went to a body shop to get my 2006 civic checked out because it was making noise whenever i turned my steering wheel all the way to the right. The body shop said that there was something wrong with the right front axle, in which they needed to take off the cv boot to check out the actual axle. But was going to charge more than $200!!My limited warranty is already up but my honda still has the 5 yr powertrain warranty so i was wondering if i bought it to a honda dealership will checking and fixing the axle be covered under the warranty? What is a powertrain warranty anyhow?

    Power train warranty is the engine and transmission. The CV boot is part of the drive shaft, which SOME power train warranties DO cover. I'm not sure if Honda's does. Things like the CV boot are usually excluded because they are wearable parts (which just means they wear down even if you drive normally) Your axles however should be covered if drive shaft is covered under honda warranty (and i believe it is as i know it is for certified used honda cars) If you bought the car used it was certified it should have come with a 7 yr 100,000 mile warranty, under which axles should be covered but your CV boot would not be. If the dealership refuses to cover the cost of damage (and its the axle not the CV boot) call up American Honda and let them know that your car is only 3 years old and your axles already need replacing, American Honda takes customer issues seriously (from my own experience) and will do the best to help you out - sometimes they'll go beyond warranty coverage, especially for customers who took good care of their car and have proof of it. The axles should not have to be replaced in 3 years, my Honda is 11 years old and on the same axles it was bought with 11 yrs ago.

    Get the Civic. in case you do % to get the camaro, get a 2001 rather of a 2002. For some reason the 2002 camaro and corvette engines have terrible reliability. take a seem at client comments and jd ability until now you purchase, each engine interior the camaro and corvette for 2002 rated at "lots worse then average" for reliability. you're type of between a rock and a complicated place nevertheless with the aid of fact the final reliability each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days for the camaro became into undesirable in any case. The 2001 has an engine score of "extra powerful then average" yet gets a "lots worse then average" ratting forpersistent equipment, exhaust, paint/trim, physique integrity, ability kit and recieves a "worst then average" score for transmission and brakes. The 2000 is even worse. The 2002 "purely" gets a "lots worse the common" score for engine andpersistent equipment yet then recieves a "worse then average" score for brakes, exhaust, paint/trim, physique integrity, ability kit, and electric. So %. you poison. The 2006 honda civic inspite of the undeniable fact that recieves the utmost achieveable score of "lots extra powerful then average" in 13 out of 15 catagories and the two last catagories that are soreness/trim and ability kit nonetheless acquire a score of "extra powerful then average" in fact, the honda civic has the two "lots extra powerful then average" or "extra powerful then average" scores in each and each catagory from the three hundred and sixty 5 days 2000 until now. So if it became into my funds and my sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous woman, i might bypass with the honda civic devoid of question. additionally, inspect the national motor vehicle reliability document that got here out approximately 2 months in the past. It became into the single you heard on cnn and such. so a ways as overall reliability is going it rated Honda #a million, Ford #2, and Toyota #3 (ford might have been #3 and toyota #2, I dont undergo in recommendations yet Honda became into deffinately #a million it extremely is the proper subject on your question). Honda (and Ford) the place the only motor vehicle manufacturers that did no longer have a single considered one of their automobiles acquire a mark of below average. Chevy became into ranked way down on the record, I dont undergo in recommendations precisely what type inspite of the undeniable fact that it became into like 8th or something.

    Pwertrain = engine + transmission. Sorry dude. The good news is that they are overcharging you and if you take it somewhere else you will get a better deal. Dealers are an awful place to take your car.
