warrenty questions
When i got my car (an 02 accent) I also got the extended 10 year bumper to
bumper warrenty for around 600-$700. As i was reading some of the eariler post and seeing things what the warrenty does not cover, what exectly does it cover? For example to person who had the problem with the thermostat not working on his tiberon: will my 10 year bumper to bumper cover me if that same problems happens to me while i am with in the warrenty? Also i have been getting my old changed at a local shop but i do not have all the receipts, but i think that they do keep electronic records of their own, will this affect my warrenty, what happenes to people who do their own maintence, will the warrrenty not cover them? I know these are all questions that i should have thought of eariler, but i was 20 when i bought my car and i was happy just to have a car that was not made in the early 80's (i traded in a 82 tempo). Luckily i bought my car at what i feel is a good dealership, I even went 25 miles out of my way becasue i did not like the hyundai dealership in my town (on the one occision i have worked with them they charged me for something that the dealership that i bought the car from did not charge me for, it was only $10 so i paid it becasue i wanted the problem fixed) Thanks, i just found this board and am loving it!! |

I believe they cover everything bumper to bumper provided any trouble is not caused by your abnornal action (accident/bad driving etc) on your vehicle, it must be something internal trouble happened during normal driving of your car. If you have followed scheduled maintenance after you bought the car you should not have any problem. Try to get as much info on maintenance as possible. But my experience tells me that the dealer will refuse to pay anything, not even $10, even if you have full proof maintenance record, they will always try to show you did something wrong. So be prepared to fight. |
Re: warrenty questions
What extended warranty did you buy. Is it the Hyundai Protection Plan
(HPP) or someone else's warranty. If it's HPP, look on your warranty card and post the plan (4A, etc.) and I can look up the coverage. If it's someone else's warranty, you'll have to look at your contract to see the individual coverage. As long as you have your maintenance receipts, you should be fine. DIYers should have receipts from the purchase of the parts. Just remember, the warranty covers defects, not things that failed because someone caused them to fail. |
Re: warrenty questions
Hi Hyundaitech, My warranty is "Plan B"
Is there any way you could look that one up? J.W. On Tue, 03 Aug 2004 13:10:29 -0400, "hyundaitech" <howitsac@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote: >What extended warranty did you buy.

Re: warrenty questions
I don't see a plan "b." There are six options I see. They are as
follows: 4A: 6/75 bumper/bumper 4B: 10/100 bumper/bumper 5A: 6/75 powertrain 5B: |
Re: warrenty questions
OOPS! Hit the button too soon. I'll try again.
4A: 6/75 bumper/bumper 4B: 10/100 bumper/bumper 5A: 6/75 powertrain 5B: 6/75 bumper/bumper 6A: 10/100 powertrain 6B: 10/100 bumper/bumper Applying to all plans: "Unless required in connection with a mechanical breakdown, the following are not covered under this contract: A. Maintenance services and parts as described in your vehicle's Owner's Manual as supplied by the manufacturer. These include but are not limited to: filters, lubricants, coolants, fluids, refrigerants and the service operations necessary to replace them. B. Other normal maintenance services and parts which include, but are not limited to, alignments, adjustments, wheel balancing, tune ups, shock absorbers, friction clutch disc and pressure plates, |
Re: warrenty questions
Did it again. #@@!##!
I'll continue where I left off with the non-covered items: "...spark plugs, spark plug wires, hoses, v belts, brake pads, brake lining, brake shoes, brake drums, brake rotors, wiper blades, and thermostat. C. Glass, lenses, sealed beams, light bulbs, exhaust systems, batteries, trim moldings, bright metal, upholstery, carpet, door panels, headliner, crash pad, paint, outside ornamentation, bumpers, tires, wheels, wheel covers, seat belts, air bags, radio, antenna, and emissions system. I also believe each plan has a short list of things it doesn't cover. This should be pretty close though. |
Re: warrenty questions
As for my extended warrenty i have smart choive 2000 encore preformance, i
dont think its thru hyundai but a seperate company. Alsi again what are minimuns that must be done to keep my vehical under warrenty for the 30k? i am going to have it done, but my dealership siad about doinf a bunch of things that i feel may not be needed, ie injector additives, HELP, i dotn want to get things done that are unnessicary and expensive. thanks |
Re: warrenty questions
also the extened warrenty coverage is thru NAtional warranty insurance
company, and i was told that i can sell back my extended warrenty if i never use, or i can "sell" it to the person i would sell my car to |
Re: warrenty questions
Yes, I should have called it 4B, not just b. That's what it is. Thanks
for the info. Your help is appreciated. J.W. On Wed, 04 Aug 2004 12:40:35 -0400, "hyundaitech" <howitsac@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote: >I don't see a plan "b." There are six options I see. They are as >follows: > >4A: 6/75 bumper/bumper >4B: 10/100 bumper/bumper >5A: 6/75 powertrain >5B: |
Re: warrenty questions
i just talked to my dealer and they said that they charge 375 and tazes for
the 30k maintence, and also that they do the sever driving maintence becasue Of the weather???!?! I live in centeral pa does this count as a sever driving area? |
Re: warrenty questions
Whether you driving area counts as severe depends on what sort of driving
you do there. Most of the things on the severe chart are good to do at that time. This is what I would do if it were my car: Change oil and filter. Replace air filter. Replace spark plugs. Replace auto trans fluid and filter (and gasket). Rotate tires. Replace coolant. A really good overall inspection of the vehicle. It's my opinion that you don't need injector cleaner, additives, or whatnot, unless you have a problem that the particular additive will address. I see these products like the panaceas once pitched by the snake oil salesmen. These products are so good, most companies pay the dealership personnel to use them. Dealerships that include these items in their services do so because it's a profit generator. If the dealer has a free 27 (or whatever) point check available, price doing the items I recommended above separately. If it's significantly less than the 30k service, then buy the items individually. Many dealers also competitively price the 30k, so it's price may be less than or similar to the above items added together. Where I work, the items above would come to about $450 if done separately, but our 30k price is over $500 if I remember correctly. Just compare your options and pick what's best. To keep your warranty in force, you must do the minimums set in the owner's manual. What I've recommended above is a little more than the minimum, but there's nothing hatefully expensive there either. You may be able to do some of the things yourself. As to your (illusion123a) warranty coverage, you'll have to check your contract. I've not heard of the company you describe. My guess is that the contract covers significantly less than the HPP I described above. |
Re: warrenty questions
The 4B further exclusions are:
Powertrain for original owner (because you have the 10/100 new vehicle powertrain warranty), "...tape deck, cd player, normal wear and consumable items (i.e. fuses), towing," and the list provided earlier. |
Re: warrenty questions
I'm a little confused. I have a 2002 XG350 purchased in March 2002 with
25,000 miles covered by a 4B warranty. I had the passenger side beam housing (and lamps) replaced today due to condensation. About 2 months ago the power steering hose was also replaced. I paid nothing. Your earlier statement states these are NOT covered items. So...what's the deal? FWIW, I did have to pay for a SECOND battery replacement a month ago since this FIRST replacement was 19 days out of warranty, and the factory rep would not budge. Since it was only $60 total prorated, I'll just save my battles for something big. BTW - I'm very happy with my dealer - Glendale Hyundai (or should I say the service writer, who's been tops). -B "hyundaitech" <howitsac@nospam.hotmail.com> wrote in message news:6f8bc041d34691706e36c223e96e154c@localhost.ta lkaboutautos.com... > Did it again. #@@!##! > > I'll continue where I left off with the non-covered items: > > "...spark plugs, spark plug wires, hoses, v belts, brake pads, brake > lining, brake shoes, brake drums, brake rotors, wiper blades, and > thermostat.

Re: warrenty questions
Those items -are- covered by the 5/60 new vehicle bumper to bumper
warranty. Should you have a problem with these items after the new vehicle warranty expires, your HPP extended warranty (after 5/60 and up to 10/100) would not cover the lamp. I don't see an exclusion on the power steering line, so I would expect that would be covered by both the bumper to bumper and HPP warranties. The battery warranty is really weird. It works by time only. Up to two years, entirely free. Between 2 and 3 years, Hyundai pays labor and 25% of parts, customer pays 75% of parts. After 3 years, battery problems are the customer's responsibility. Since you partially purcased the replacement battery (which I'm betting will be much better than the original), you also have the time only parts warranty associated with that battery. I believe it's for for years and prorating starts after 1 year, but it's been so long since I've had to look this up, I'm not entirely sure about my memory. As long as we're on the subject of weird warranty quirks, the Hyundai radios are only covered for 3/36 and are not part of the new vehicle bumper to bumper or HPP warranties. This is the only area I can think of where the Hyundai warranty is a little bit of a rip. It's also set off a little by the bumper-to-bumper coverage of brake rotors and drums, which most manufacturers only cover for 1 year or 12k miles. All in all, I still think it's a phenomenal warranty. |
