First time in my life I bought a bumper to bumper warranty when I bought our last used Kia minivan - it supposedly covered bumper to bumper for 5 years or until it gets to 160K miles. I had great luck in the past with Kia vans but I just had a bad feeling about this one - but with Covid the used market was very limited. First time we had an issue was about a month after we bought it - power steering failed - a hose had popped off while towing it to the shop the power doors quit working (?). To fix the power doors they had to drop the headliner, to drop the headliner all the seats had to be removed to feed it out the rear hatch. The warranty people at first denied everything - then eventually picked up half the cost (instead of the full cost less $100 - took them 3 weeks to finally approve and we were without the van for almost 4 weeks.
About 2 months after that the transmission failed. I had a suspicion about it as once in the while it didn't feel right - lots of slipping in the lower gears then it work as it should for a week or more. They didn't want to cover anything on that - even though the transmission was in my opinion pretty cheap - only $2300 installed. Eventually I pulled the dealer in and they chewed on them for a while and eventually they agreed to abide by their written contract - van was in the shop for almost 2 months that time - 6 weeks of it was me waiting on the warranty people to make a decision. I truly think they were wanting me to do the work then they would claim it wasn't authorized and either not pay or only pay a small amount. I do my own oil changes and document the work in the owners manual but I am pretty screwed if the engine ever needs any work - I don't have receipts for oil changes since I do them myself.
The after market warranties are hardly worth the paper they are written on. I will have warranty coverage on electrical items and the like - if they decide to cover them.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot.
