10-Year Mitsubishi Warranty Question

[Leungsta]

Hi all, I bought my used 2014 Mirage just over a month ago and a check engine light came on recently. Car still works fine so I’m not concerned, but I started thinking about the 10-year warranty and what’s covered.

Anyone in Canada have experience regarding Mitsubishi warranty? I believe my car would still be covered considering it’s within 10 years and below 200k km? Is it worth bringing the car in?

...my car would still be covered considering it’s within 10 years and below 200k km?

I thought the warranty was good up to 160,000 kilometers in Canada?

I’m at 143k so I guess I’m still good! Lol wasn’t sure what the limit was

Nobody’s gonna be able to answer that one until you figure out why the light is on. Look up warranty coverage…powertrain warrant is 10 years, 160,000km. The engine light doesn’t mean power train. If you have to ask, maybe it’s better to take it in and be at the mercy of the dealer. If you’re up for trying to fix it yourself, find out what code you have. Then post it here.

Goes back to my original question, what defines “powertrain”. If I’ve got a rattle from my engine at idle is it something that is covered? Or will they charge me for labour to identify the issue and then decide after if it’s covered ?

In the States, the 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty does not transfer to the 2nd owner of a Mirage. The 5-year/60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty does transfer, however.

I hate to say this but....Mits offered a double warranty during 2017, everything IIRC including roadside BUT there's no reference to the program on Mits Canada. I printed out the program and filed it in case I need coverage under the extension.

What @mark said, i thought the warranty was non-transferrable?

[Wallythacker]

Don't quote me, but Mits Canada didn't exclude transferring the warranty. Legally they do need to point this out up front or they get hammered hard by the various agencies.

Hope for the best, expect the worst…I have no clue what’s wrong with your car. Maybe a dealer will fix it under warranty, maybe not. Find the warranty booklet. Call the dealer and ask them. They’ll probably say bring it by, if it’s covered under warranty you won’t pay. If it’s not you pay $$$$. Nobody can answer your questions.

You might be able to get a new engine if it’s knocking and using oil. I got a freebie engine in my previous car that had a slight knock. I was the 3rd owner and had zero maintenance recorded. Car was over 6 years old at the time iirc. There was a recall for the engine so if line was replaced because of the recall or if it was actually a warranty job.
A few others in the US got freebie engines covered as well with no service records and not the original owners.
