1 most vehicles have the manufacturers bumper to bumper warranties for tree yeas or 3600 miles, four years or 50000miles or five years 60000 miles on the drive train (engine and transmission). The warranties are transferable to buyers who purchase the vehicles second hand.
2 if the warranty has expired you are stuck with paying for repairs and maintenance. Remember that major repairs can be costly.
