Warranty Expanded General Motors said last week that engine and transmission warranty coverage on its 1986 cars will be expanded to a minimum of 36 months/36,000 miles.
James G. Vorhes, GM vice president in charge of the Customer Sales and Service Staff, said the new warranty extends coverage on major engine, transmission and axle components on both front-drive and rear-drive cars from the current 24 months/24,000 miles.
The basic 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on the entire car remains unchanged.
Safety Tip Rear-end collisions can be prevented. Drivers should never tailgate and should retain a two- to four-second interval between the front of their car and the rear of the car in front of them. When stopped in traffic, drivers should check to see if they can see the tires of the vehicle ahead touching the road. When being tailgated, here are some recommendations: routinely use the rear-view mirror to check the distance between your car and approaching traffic: touch your brakes to signal that traffic behind you is too close: and, if necessary, change lanes or adjust speed to remove the potential hazard.
