End of bumper-to-bumper warranty

[dani]

Hey there! So I'm coming up on the end of my bumper to bumper warranty for my 2012 sonic hatch, and since I've only ever had used cars out of warranty before this, I'm wondering if you guys think I should go in to the dealer and see if there's anything worth fixing?

I don't necessarily see anything wrong with my car, but is it common practice to take it in anyway at this stage? If so, is there anything you recommend I ask in particular? I saw a previous thread with some mention of this, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Thanks!

I'd say look for any signs of leakage (oil seals, waterpump), check condition of sway bar end links, any body rust where it shouldn't be.

Since it's bumper to bumper, I'd certainly not hesitate to get appt with dealer for that last checkup.

Make sure they don't tack any extra services they'd charge you for as well.

You will still have your 100,000 mile warranty on your drivetrain and trans so I'd look over the interior and cosmetics for any flaws.
