Yesterday my car stalled on me, and I dropped it off at the dealer. Its an '05. I'm assuming its the fuel injection. Should that be covered by my warranty?

Provided that my car is covered by warranty, I didnt think I'd have to pay for the problem. Am I incorrect?

Fuel choking in the system is due to impurities Ianthe fuel or developed in storage condition. Excess fuel flow also cause
over heating decompression.That lead to
stall the Engine.
Before buying any automobile ,it need orientation about the
construction of that motor vehicle.
Anything can be brought under warranty with extra payment.
Anyhow before buying this point should be clarified with manufacture and dealer.

If it is the fuel injection, and it's a manufacturer defect, it should be covered by your warranty as long as you haven't gone over your months or mileage limitations. If it's standard wear and tear (meaning it just got clogged over time because of regular use, which is pretty common) it won't be covered. One good way to keep the fuel injectors from clogging is to use a good-quality fuel injector cleaner like Valvoline every four to six months or so. You can buy it at most stores like K-Mart or Wal-Mart, and all you do is dump it in an almost empty tank and then fill up with regular unleaded. Don't use the cheap stuff like STP -- it's worthless.

Sounds like you got some bad gas somewhere. If you did, it will clog the fuel filter or even the injectors which can cause stalling and lack of power (acceleration). As far as the warranty coverage, it will depend on how many miles you have on your car and how many months the coverage is for. If you bought it new take it back to the dealer you bought it from and they can tell you if it's covered.

Unless it's a maintenance-related problem, it is covered by factory warranty: bumper-to-bumper 12/12, basic 36/36, emissions (Federal warranty) 60/60. Some items like corrosion to SRS covered up to 10 years/unlimited mileage.

yes it should. if the fuel injection is out, the vehicle is not getting enough gas, causing your stalling. before i would have dropped it off and payed a ton to get it fixed, u should have replaced the fuel and air filters since it is fairly new
