- I am not sure that your warranty will cover anything they may find wrong:
- it covers only when something IS BROKE. If something were broke in your
- powertrain, you would know about that without any test.
-
- I am not an automobile guru, so this opinion is just my personal understanding
- and experience.
-
- I have Sentra for 4+ years and since the warranty expired I had nothing wrong
- except a pinhole in the antifreeze return hose, which wouldn't be covered by
- any warranty (except bumper-to-bumper) anyway.
