The warranty on your new vehicle can save you significant money on repair costs during your first several years of car ownership, so it's a good idea to understand your coverage terms and limitations. The Mitsubishi Powertrain Warranty is one of the most generous in the industry and comes with a few perks for new drivers. Benefits of Mitsubishi's 10-Year Powertrain Warranty The powertrain warranty lasts for 10 years or up to 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. This powertrain warranty comes with all new Mitsubishi models. The warranty will cover repairs for defective powertrain parts at a Mitsubishi dealership. The specific parts covered by this powertrain warranty are the transmission, transaxle, and engine. Mitsubishi Powertrain Warranty Exclusions Your Mitsubishi warranty has some limitations. If your car components or powertrain is damaged from a collision, misuse, and wear-and-tear, then repairs won't be covered by your warranty. Improper maintenance or failure to meet maintenance recommendations can also void repairs for your powertrain warranty. All warranty repairs should be performed at a Mitsubishi dealership. Additional New Car Warranty Plans The purchase of a new Mitsubishi also comes with a 60,000-mile or five-year New Vehicle Limited Warranty, which covers the repair or replacement of virtually all other vehicle components. Vehicle components excluded from this warranty are the audio/entertainment system, navigation software, tires, battery, refrigerant, and exterior light bulbs. The body panels of your new Mitsubishi are covered by a seven-year or 100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty. This warranty comes in handy if your Mitsubishi develops corrosion on the body panels from damage caused by internal mechanical defects. This warranty does not cover body panel damage caused by chemicals, car accidents, or weather damage. What About Perks? As part of your New Vehicle Warranty, you will have access to five years of 24/7 Roadside Assistance. This program will cover the cost of services for towing the vehicle, replacing a flat tire, jump-starting the engine, or delivering fluids for the vehicle. You will also get trip reimbursement for up to three days for a maximum of $175 if your trip is derailed because of mechanical issues. Should You Consider an Extended Warranty? Mitsubishi drivers have the option of extending the terms of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty by two years for a total of seven years of coverage. It might be a good idea to extend your bumper-to-bumper coverage if you plan to own your vehicle for a long time. You can speak with your dealership's service department about extended warranty coverage. Between a generous 10-year powertrain warranty to a limited bumper-to-bumper warranty for new vehicles, Mitsubishi offers comprehensive coverage for new drivers.
