Find out more about the Kia warranty coverage you get with our guide from Kearny Mesa Kia.

 

What is the Kia Basic Warranty?

The Kia warranty program has been the best in the auto industry since Kia vehicles first rolled out of the factory. See what you get with Kia’s warranty program here:

  • 10-year/100,000-mile limited Kia powertrain warranty
  • 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty
  • 5-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty
  • 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan

You can tell from one look at the Kia Soul warranty that this is one of the most reliable models on the market. That’s why the Kia warranty is confident enough to provide such wide and enduring coverage – they know just how unlikely you are to need it. Of course, you’ll still want to know exactly how it serves to improve your peace of mind during everyday driving, so we’ve put together a quick guide to the following questions:

  • What Do You Get from the Bumper to Bumper Warranty?
  • What Do You Get from the Powertrain Warranty?
  • Is the Kia Warranty Transferable?

What Do You Get from the Bumper to Bumper Warranty?

As most drivers in San Diego or San Diego already know, even minor problems can leave you hit by high repair bills. That’s why the Kia Basic Warranty covers all the components of your new Kia Soul for:

  • 60 Months
  • 60,000 Miles

It goes on which of those landmarks you reach first from the date of your first service. The limited Kia bumper-to-bumper warranty doesn’t cover wear or maintenance items, but it does protect you from unexpected repair costs.

What Do You Get from the Powertrain Warranty?

The Kia Powertrain Warranty picks up when your Basic Warranty expires to cover key elements of the Kia Soul powertrain, except against wear and maintenance.

Parts covered include:

  • Engine
  • Transaxle
  • Axles
  • Transmission
  • Differentials
  • Propeller Shafts

As you can imagine, those are often some of the priciest parts to fix, so having them covered should take a load off your mind. Better yet, the Powertrain Warranty is active for 120 months or 100,000 miles from the date of first service.

Is the Kia Warranty Transferable?

Having a transferable warranty is a real plus if you want a good price when you come to sell your Kia. Only the 120-month/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty isn’t transferable, so you’ll be able to pass the Bumper-to-Bumper warranty on to a new owner.

What is the Kia Powertrain Warranty?

The Kia Powertrain Warranty covers your powertrain and engine against defects, minus wear and maintenance, for up to 120 months or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the Date of First Service in San Diego and elsewhere.

Only the following items are covered under the Powertrain Warranty:

  • In the Engine: Cylinder block, cylinder head and all internal parts, timing gear, seals and gaskets, valve cover, flywheel, oil pump, water pump, and turbocharger. 
  • In the Transaxle: Transmission case and all internal parts, torque converter, drive shafts, universal joints, front hubs, bearings, seals, and gaskets. 
  • In the Axles: Axle shafts and C-V joints New Vehicle Limited Warranty (couplings), seals, hub, and wheel bearings. 
  • In the Transmission: Transmission case, transfer case, torque converter and all internal parts, seals, and gaskets. 
  • In the Differentials: Front and rear differential assemblies, cases, all internal parts, seals, and gaskets. 
  • In the Propeller Shafts: Drive shafts, universal joints.

Main Advantages of the Kia Warranty

Travel with confidence in a Kia Telluride thanks to more than 17,000 roadside assistance providers available 24/7. Flat tire? No problem. Out of gas? We can help. Dead battery? It won’t ruin your trip. Overheated engine? You could get a tow to the nearest Kia dealer for repairs.

If your vehicle will need more than 24 hours to repair and you’re more than 150 miles from home, your Kia warranty can cover lodging, rental car costs, or meals up to a certain point with reasonable reimbursement coverage for the inconvenience when you’re far away from Kearny Mesa.

Is the Kia Warranty Transferable? 

Should you choose to sell your new Kia before the new vehicle warranty is up, any portion of the Kia warranty is transferable to the next owner with one exception. The only Kia warranty that is not transferable to subsequent owners is the 120-month/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty.
