Coverage
Just curious,,,,you get 5 years of coverage on powertrain...so if you have trans problems or motor problems you are covered....BUT does fixing those problems involve things that need to be done thats not covered?? Do items come up that would only be covered in the 3 year part???

Engine & transmission are covered for 5 years or 60k miles, whichever comes first. Items are either covered or not covered, there is no partial coverage for a repair. With that said, if things are outside of warranty coverage, GM can "goodwill" a repair (Honda & Jeep both have for me as well), or cut you a break on the costs to repair (partially at the dealers discretion). It pays to have a good relationship with your service advisor; I've learned all sorts of beneficial things by mailing gift cards for Christmas.

Good luck navigating through all the legal speak when it comes to warranty coverage and exclusions.

I was just trying to decide if I wanted the extended warranty...which would cover all...
So if my trany went out within the 5 years and millage was not an issue why get the extended warranty..I would think that the motor and tranny is the most expensive thing to replace?
Thanks for the imput...

You MUST purchase GM's GMPP one month prior to the 3yr/36K mile factory B2B expiring.

I waited til near the end of the expiration of the 3/36 B2B, and then purchased the 8 year Platinum Protection Plan. After the B2B expires, there are only certain dealers that can/will sell the Platinum Protection Plan and even then the cost goes way up (statement based on other forum posts).
