It does only cover those, but they're proven Japanese technology that will probably last well beyond 100k with little maintenance. Engine accessories (like anything attached to it) are typically not covered by many warranties, but I've never had an issue with them even on older 100k+ Japanese cars.~tc~ wrote:I'm not so sure about that ... The "powertrain" warranty apparently only covers the engine, transmission, and diffs - not anything bolted to them like the alternator, power steering, etc. GM covers these items under their powertrain warranty. Unless you have a catastrophic major failure, the Suzuki warranty is going to be tough to invoke.
I'll probably hold on to mine a year after it's paid off (0% interest is free money) and then get killed on a trade in for something else.
GM may cover certain things under warranty, but when I think of them as a manufacturer, I always wonder how much of that warranty is to make up for the defect rates already known by them.
I just got off the phone with Suzuki USA to register a change of ownership and they still seem to be quite responsive to warranty issues and taking care of their existing customers. I felt like they cared more than when I've talked to Nissan and Honda.
