warranty

My manufacturer's warranty will expire this December and I'd love to hear perspectives from other owners on this board regarding purchasing an extended warranty. FYI: I did do a search on this topic, and the only relevant thread I found was from 2022, and it had only one actual reply, so I'm...

So I bought a 2022 SE Premium in March 2025 from a used car dealer with excellent reviews and EV car selling inventory and experience. I bought it knowingly as a manufacturer buyback forced by the previous owner who lemon lawed it because of the 12v battery failure 3 times. The car had 10k miles...

2022 EX Premium, 14k miles So earlier this month I got a sudden "Check Electric Vehicle System" warning message. Couldn't find much about an actual cause online other than the 12V battery. Called the dealer, they didn't have an opening for 2+ months. I tested the 12V battery under load and it...

My dealer ordered a sunshade, and now it's been 2 months since they started waiting for a replacement part. They said VW admitted it is a warranty covered repair, but the part is not arriving, and they give no ETA as to when. Is it normal? Is there any customer service line to complain? When my...

This thread has become cluttered Click HERE for simplified How-To instructions A new tool is now available for HV Battery Capacity readout. This tool utilizes the ELM327 Vgate iCar Pro BT4.0 adapter which many members already have. It is a web browser-based tool that allows your PC or Laptop...

I bought Kia Niro EV 2020 love it. Purchased MUSTART Level 2 Portable EV Charger from Amazon Warehouse. First time using charger I monitored it while charged for 45 min. Kia Niro EV and MUSTART charger had no issues both charged happily. I unplugged at 45 min and the charger and charging...

Hey Guys, I am not sure if this is ok, but I want to give a shout out to the finance guy at Durango, CO KIA. Below is what I posted on Reddit (My account is Datadisney27 and I have photos of my "Ghost" Niro EV and a very close call with a truck video also) I see some post about warranties and...

Hi EVeryone, Our 2018 Clarity Touring joins the ranks with apparently failed air conditioning. 40+ K miles. I'm going to continue reading threads here to form a plan of action. Honda is covering AC defect quite well in this NHTSA bulletin: Civic 10 years / unlimited miles ALL trim levels...

Team: Looking for information on purchasing an extended warranty; I'm buying 2021 RAV4 Prime, SE, tomorrow(!). Did you purchase warranty? Why yes/no? "$2,500-$2,700" is handwritten on a brochure for "Vehicle service contracts" provided through the Zurich American Insurance Company. No...

This thread has become cluttered Click HERE for simplified How-To instructions A collaboration between @lincomatic and @MrFixit has resulted in a some success in capturing and deciphering the relevant CAN messages that are associated with the Clarity’s HV battery parametrics. Our hope was that...

This thread has become cluttered Click HERE for simplified How-To instructions I would like to report a significant breakthrough with the Autel AP200 diagnostic scanner... Background: Many of us have had a desire to be able to obtain the Clarity's HV battery capacity ourselves (without the...

I've only driven my leased 2019 Leaf 500 miles since it’s last service interval. Will I be out of warranty if I miss the next service interval (this month!)? Is there a way of contacting Nissan with this question?

So, I bought my new honda clarity base 2020 today. I got convinced to buy a additional warranty called Service Contract Warranty from a provider "The Mechanic" for 2900$, 72 month - 75000 miles. Includes roadside assistance and rental service From what I understand, this warranty covers more...

The topic of battery longevity comes up repeatedly here. We know Honda's policy is that a warranty replacement will occur only when the capacity drops below 66.6% of the nominal new capacity of 55 Amp-Hours within the 8 year (or 10 in California) warranty period. The vehicle constantly...

There are threads posted on the $1300 extended warranty and Clarity's low reliability score (which is most likely BS). However, I bought a honda since I wanted a reliable vehicle. So I'm a little lost and wanted to know if there is an argument to be made against getting the warranty. My...

Thanks to @Atkinson for sending me a treasure trove of docs he found on Honda Tech. The best of the lot is the attached Pre Delivery Inspection (SB 17-093) that lists a lot of info not previously sourced on the forum. Here are some of the highlights: 1. We finally have a documented metric on...

Hello, I am planning to purchase Clarity touring in coming days. I have seen couple threads for extended warranty, however most links (Hyanis) don't offer it to CA residents. Can you folks share info for a CA dealer that will offer competitive extended warranty. I am considering D80 at the moment.

I read in one of the threads that an extended warranty can be purchased from 10 years for $2,000. The poster noted its bumper to bumper warranty. I am curious to learn 1) Have others purchase such warranty and for how much? 2) What does the bumper to bumper warranty cover? Thanks

Wondering if any of you sprung for the factory extended warranty....Given all the technology & electronics (and that it is a first year model), I ended up getting 8yr/100K Hondacare for our PHEV. Got the best price from College Hills Honda, in case anyone is interested (~$1330). My dealer's...

About 10 people I know bought a KIA SOUL EV from California and use them where I live in Arizona. They were fantastic the 1st year or two but then I think the HEAT is winning out. Over half have reported a failure of the OBC On Board Charger. Over half have also had battery problems. KIA uses...
