Drive train warranty

6673709 · 05-08-2012, 11:20 AM

Hey!

I'm having 3 cam sensors being replaced today. Any chance these are covered by the drive train warranty considering they're for cam shaft control?

THanks!~

how many miles do you have?

6673709 · 05-08-2012, 11:31 AM

Within the limits.
2009 with about 40k.

As far as I know, anything motor,trans,diff related is covered in the drivetrain warranty.

I'm gonna push for it to be included.
My concern it that the camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft position sensors are also in the Fed Vehicle Emission Control section of the warranty - in the section that timed out at 3yr 30k miles. Not that it matters but, by what was (or wasn't) going on, seems like I need two camshaft and one crankshaft sensor.

I'm gonna try to go with the following passage:

TRANSMISSION AND TRANSAXLE
Case and all internal parts, torque converter and converter
housing, automatic transmission control module, transfer case and all internal parts, seals and gaskets, clutch cover and housing, and electronic transmission controls.

Relying on the sensors to fall under electronic transmission control.

What do you think?

The standard warranty I feel should be slightly longer.

what mods do you have since you are so worried?

6673709 · 05-11-2012, 05:43 AM

No mods. Just stock.
As it turns out, seems like the car was hit by lightening.
Fried the three sensors and apparently affected the fuel pump.
All covered 100%.

Thanks for your help.

I have a 2004 Suzuki Forenza with 79,000+ miles on it. I left work a week ago Friday and got five blocks away and heard a horrendous rattling noise start in my engine. I immediately pulled off the road and stopped. Had the car towed to a repair shop (not the dealer) and they tell me that the timing belt tensioner pulley blew the bearings. They showed me the pulley, still in place, and there are NO bearings in it that I can see. It was completely gone. Is this covered under drivetrain warranty?

If you still have drivetrain warranty yes but doing a search reveals the factory 100k/7yr drivetrain warranty is probably up.
