    Your car is still under the 3 year 36000 mile bumper to bumper warranty so YES it is still covered.........gl

    I believe it depends. If it was damaged because of something you did, then likely not covered. On the other hand, it is a matter of safety and if it had premature wear (wear that was not due to damage you caused), the warranty should cover. Pay very close attention to what dealer claims is reason for tie rod wearing after only 19K miles... most tie rods will last over the average powertrain warranty (e.g., 4 yr. and 60K miles).

    Having spent various years interior the motor vehicle commerce curiously such as you have bought an coverage style guarantee meaning the broker has bought of the legal accountability to a third occasion coverage organisation. you will maximum probable discover that the warrant covers the bits that seldom pass incorrect like engine bearings, gearbox and consistent with risk lower back axle. different niggling bits that generally pass incorrect are no longer often coated. grasp and so on (which needless to say would not prepare on your case besides) or on your case, motor vehicle transmission shaft or replace wont be coated. Sorry to declare that my guess is that in spite of is misguided wont be coated. yet you may ask for a replica and study by using (in case you may artwork your way contained in the direction of the jargon). Any probs, provide me a decision.

    If it's really worn out (to the factory's spec) not only will they replace it but they will align your car, too.

    That's what a warranty is for...premature parts wear within a certain amount of miles.
