Warranty
I bought my 2019 Mini Cooper five-door hatch in 2020 along with an extended warranty service plan giving me coverage for 100,000km or 10 years. To date my mileage is 16,900 km. I was recently called in urgently for a transmission issue which I was told would cost $1200 as it didn't fall within the scope of my service plan. I don't know how they fixed the problem or if there was a problem in the first place. But how can such an important and potentially costly item not be covered especially when I was told that all major service costs were covered including wear and tear except for tyres and battery?
Exactly what model CVT is used in the 2025/26 Subaru Crosstrek and is the warranty affected if you use it off road?
I purchased a Kia Seltos GT-Line in April 2023. Late last year, randomly, the driver’s seat started moving on its own while driving. The dealership where I purchased the car looked at the vehicle and couldn’t replicate the issue so reset the driver’s seat. It was fine for 16 days and then the problem occurred again. I rang and emailed Kia Australia, and after a three week wait, another dealership looked at the vehicle, failed to be able to reproduce the problem and returned the car. Two days later, the problem occurred again. I contacted both the dealership of purchase, the dealership who last looked at the car and Kia Australia. I have an appointment set for a month’s time. My question is: what rights do I have under the warranty? If the dealership can’t replicate the issue and repair the seat, can I sell the car?
My 2013 Holden Cruze was brought brand new, and only has 70,000km on the clock. I have been told it has a blown gasket, which causes oil to go into bottle that's connected to radiator. Would this be a warranty claim?
How do you prove that a 2022 Kia EV6's battery capacity is below a certain percentage for warranty purposes? I think it would need to be established independently as the dealership/manufacturers are not likely to tell the truth. There is a lot written about EVs, but not about failures and difficulties with repairs!
