GM restructuring its warranty length for Chevy, GMC and Buick

Chevy, GMC Powertrain Warranties Get 40,000 Miles Shorter

This week, the automaker is moving in the other direction, announcing that model-year 2016 Chevy and GMC offerings will come with a five-year powertrain warranty that expires at a mere 60,000 miles.

Along with the reduction in warranty length, GM is tightening the girdle on its two-year free-maintenance offer. Beginning with 2016 model-year Chevy, GMC, and Buick vehicles, the offer will include only two free service visits, down from four. According to the dealer memo, Buick’s powertrain warranty will stay at its current 6-year/70,000-mile duration—adjusted down from the former 5-year/100,000-mile offer back in 2013. The memo makes no mention of any change to Cadillac’s current 5-year/100,000-mile coverage.

Hola.

Not surprised at this however I was not expecting it to be honest.

To be fair other auto manufacturers including ford have been less than 100k forever. Not defending GM just saying.

 

[Gone_2022]

Also GM's powertrain warranty is actually very robust. It covers crap like thermostats and water pumps through the full current 5/100k. Not just like the internal engine and driveline

 

[Ti28]

Because LSX's don't need no stinking warranty!

No I saw Mook posted this news and I entered the thread. Saw your post and here I am lol.


I would take the cut in miles happily if GM would bring back wheel bearing coverage under powertrain lol. They took that out in 2010...... wonder why........

 

[cacicgtp7]

Chrysler/Dodge still has 5/100 right?

 

[Gone_2022]

Correct as of right now dodge is still 5/100. As far as how much it covers besides your internal engine and transmission I do not know.

 

[Stink Star]

Thing is the only things I ever really do under powertrain warranty after 60K is like timing chains and piston replacements and those are under special coverage for like 10 years and 120k so it will make little difference to me

 

[radioguy6]

Reduced warranty coverage is like the cherry on top of their countless recalls. Really drives home that consumer confidence in GM :rollpicard:.

“Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another,”

what kind of drugs do they take before doing their "research" at GM? I guarantee the majority of new Hyundai owners would not have switched to a brand once perceived so negatively (much like Japanese cars of the 80s/90s), if it wasn't for that 10 year/100K warranty.


It would be nice if taxpayers could vote on our government handing over bailout checks to this company.

Yeah. GM is on full blown retard mode right now.

Recalls for years
Excuses for C7Z sucking dick
"Warranties don't matter" despite the absolute contrary
