From 100,000 to 60,000 miles.
And they say it is because consumers don’t care about it when purchasing a car.

Sales will tell if that is accurate. Wasn’t the long warranty a result of losing sales to others who had long warranties? Time will tell.
Honestly, my guess is that warranties are eating them alive. Talk to any tech and they hate warranty work. You make little to no money and sometimes even lose money. For the manufacturers, people are keeping their cars longer and getting them fixed for free. It’s a no win
For what new cars and trucks cost, they should come with a 100k mile powertrain warranty.
Ford has 5/60k warranty, GM is wanting to stay competitive. The 2/24 maintenance they build into the price should be the responsibility of the vehicle owner, not the manufacturer.
The price won’t go down :angry:
