Which one of these statements is true about a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty.


A. Normal wear and tear is NOT covered by the warranty.


B. All expenses except gasoline and routine oil changes are covered by the warranty.


C. Every part and system is covered without exception.


D. All parts and systems are covered except those controlled by computer chips which require an extended

the answer is D because A bumper to bumper warranty means that whatever goes wrong (unless caused by an accident or other abuse of the vehicle) the warranty will cover the repair. A power train warranty only covers the engine, transmission, and drive line. Some only cover internally lubricated parts, meaning that it does not cover things like the starter and alternator.

A bumper to bumper warranty covers much more than a power train warranty, and because of that, it is better for the buyer.

I disagree, Alicia.

I agree with Ms. Sue.

To determine which statement is true about a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty, let's break down each statement and analyze them one by one:

A. Normal wear and tear is NOT covered by the warranty.
This statement suggests that normal wear and tear is not covered by a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. In order to determine if this is true, we need to understand what components fall under the "bumper-to-bumper" warranty.

Explanation: A "bumper-to-bumper" warranty typically covers all the major components of a vehicle, including engine, transmission, electrical systems, brakes, and more. However, since this statement mentions normal wear and tear, some components like tires, brake pads, and windshield wipers, which are typically considered normal wear and tear, may not be covered.

B. All expenses except gasoline and routine oil changes are covered by the warranty.
This statement suggests that all expenses, with the exception of gasoline and routine oil changes, are covered by a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. Let's analyze this further.

Explanation: A "bumper-to-bumper" warranty usually covers the cost of repairs or replacement of major components due to mechanical or manufacturing defects. However, it doesn't typically cover regular maintenance expenses such as oil changes, brake fluid flushes, tire rotations, or fuel expenses.

C. Every part and system is covered without exception.
This statement suggests that every part and system is covered without any exceptions under a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty.

Explanation: While a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty provides comprehensive coverage for most parts and systems of a vehicle, there are usually exceptions. These exceptions could include wearables like tires, brake pads, or components that are prone to regular wear and tear.

D. All parts and systems are covered except those controlled by computer chips which require an extended warranty.
This statement implies that all parts and systems, except those controlled by computer chips, are covered by a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty, and those parts require an extended warranty for coverage.

Explanation: In general, a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty covers most parts and systems of a vehicle, including those that are controlled by computer chips. While it's possible that some extended warranties may focus on computer-controlled components, it wouldn't be accurate to say that a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty excludes these parts.

Based on the explanations provided, it seems that statement C, "Every part and system is covered without exception," is not entirely accurate as there can be exceptions to what is covered under a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty, such as normal wear and tear and regular maintenance expenses.
