[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 935926, member: 52972"] JimG, First, understand that regular warranties and Extended Warranties do not cover normal maintenance items like belts, brakes, oil changes, tires, filters, etc. Many emission control items are covered by the Federally mandated emission warranty for 8 years or 80K miles. The problem is that the manufacturer gets to pick which emission items it warranties. Often you don't know if it's covered until after the dealer makes repairs and you often have to take the invoice to the parts department where they will determine if any of the parts are covered under the Federal warranty. If the part is covered, you should get a refund for the parts and labor needed to remove/install the new part....but only for the covered parts. Oddly enough, most manufacturers do not cover the PCM computer under the Federal Emissions warranty? Where they do cover you is for catastrophic failures like the engine, transmission, differential, and can include other expensive repairs like A/C, Suspension and even some can cover door locks, power windows, seat motors, etc. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
