I am paranoid that my car will pop something after warranty ends in a month.You should be ok. It's stock and you've had it 3 weeks! Straight back to the dealer.

boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 8m 13d Posted 10/05/10 11:47 PM Share Posted 10/05/10 11:47 PM Regardless if the car is stock then it will be covered under warranty unless the damage was caused because you were trying to mount a curb etc and broke something...(unlikely I know but if it was an ex police car this wowuldnt be so unlikely...) Just make sure that if you have had oil leak from the tranny that it is topped up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
