Powertrain, Bumper-to-Bumper and Perforation. What does all that mean in regard to car warranty?

Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and this pretty much means it covers everything on the vehicle ,,bumper to bumper means just about every piece of it is covered and small things on the drive train are also covered ,usually a warranty doesn't cover some of the smaller things,but the warranty's are getting better on some of the cars,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Answer 2

Power train. Engine, transmission, drive shafts. Bumper to bumper. All the other parts (usually the small print makes it non wear parts so it wouldn't cover things like tires or wiper blades that do wear out).

Perforation. Beats me.: perforation (n.) A hole or series of holes punched or bored through something, especially a hole in a series, separating sections in a sheet or roll.
perforation (n.) The act of perforating.

Is that perhaps a typo on your part, or is the dealer going to punch a series of holes somewhere in your vehicle?

Answer 3

Powertrain covers your transmission. Bumper to Bumper dont go so literally with that one. Its doesnt generally mean cosmetic wise unless its just a defect. Its more for like Heating systems and the larger car componets. Normal wear and tear on the vehicle is not covered. Breaks, oil change wippers etc.

Answer 4

Powertrain = Tranny, engine, axles
B to B = almost everything, but items that can wear out, like tires, brakes,etc, unless they are defective
Perforation = More referred to as corrosion - Body holes due to rust from the backside.

Answer 5
