Description

Extended warranties are generally offered by manufacturers to cover major drivetrain parts (engine, transaxle, transmission, etc.) at an extra cost. Some of these warranties may include a deductible that is paid by the owner. Service contracts and "wrap-around" warranties are offered by manufacturers and warranty companies. They generally cover repairs for a longer period than the manufacturer's drivetrain warranties. They operate like an insurance policy and are regulated as such in Florida. For information on service contracts, check with the Florida Department of Insurance at 1-800-342-2762.

New Vehicle Warranty - New cars carry a manufacturer's warranty which will vary in months and/or miles. Some dealers offer extended warranties. These warranties are sold either through the manufacturer or insurance company. Warranties that are offered through insurance companies are regulated by the Florida Department of Financial Services. For additional information on these warranties offered by insurance companies, please contact the Florida Department of Financial Services at 1-800-342-2762.

Buyer's Guide/Used Car Warranty ? Read the window label (Buyers Guide) to find out if a used car has any dealer warranty or remaining manufacturer's warranty. Ask who will transfer any remaining manufacturer's warranty and who will pay transfer fees.

Florida's New Car Lemon Law - Florida's Lemon Law applies to new or demonstrator vehicles sold or long-term leased in the state. When consumers buy or lease a new or demonstrator motor vehicle, they must receive from the selling dealer or lessor the "Consumer Guide to the Florida Lemon Law". This publication explains consumer rights, gives steps to follow to resolve problems, contains a toll-free number for the Lemon Law Hotline and a form the consumer can use to notify the manufacturer of chronic defects and time out of service for repair.
