Bumper to bumper, emissions, rust, powertrain, and I can't remember if that's all, and they all span different time periods.

Im only replying as Im curious here. I did not purchase the 5 year/ 100,000 mile extended warranty but I can see through my Onstar subscription that I do have a 5 year / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty still available and not yet expired. Its right next to some limited 6 year and 8 year emmissions warranties.

I thought the GM cars all had 5 year/ 100,000 mile warranties? I maybe under the same dillusional cloak as the latter guy responding to you though.

But after fighting for a month with everyone about this I choose to just buy a used engine and put it in myself. Car runs great, has same mods on it with no problems. In all reality it was just this dealership out to make a buck and screwed me. I'm more dissapointed in the lack of support gm gave me.

GMS1 has not let me down yet and they only charged me $78 to have it installed and flashed. each time i go in i clean my car up so it shows it's taken care of and do my research and tell them what the suspected problem is. it always helps them fix my car. a few invoices even say "customers suspected problem confirmed"

ship your car to my dealership and they'll fix ya up!
