Anyone buy an extended warranty on the Telluride?

More detail please...

Appears to be Fidelity Warranty Services :: Home Page based on a look up of the customer service number in the contract details you linked to... they have a Kia Branded Program...

A copy of your contract page would be nice (redacted for personal info of course), giving the coverage info (time period and miles)

Which dealer did you purchase this from?
-- Do you think they would sell to others by phone?

$1,366 is a good price if the contract is for 10 or more years and at least 10,000 miles per year of coverage (i.e. 10 years/100,000 miles) with the zero deductible
-- becomes a very good price if it's 10 years/ 120,000 miles
---- a great price if it's 12 years/ 120,000 miles

Did you find out if this dealer will sell to others by phone?

That is the plan. Reading some of the above should have never happened to you guys. I'm hopeful to have something in place after the holiday.

Did you ever get something together for forum members? I am a new owner and am interested.
 
I got mine from @Jason Fox and the Muncie Team. I hope I'll never have to use it but at least I know I am covered for the next 7 years!!!
 
Hey @Jason Fox After buying the warranty do we receive proof of coverage or is the signed paperwork our proof?

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I see you got good info about Muncie Kia...

I went with something from my selling dealer that was about the same price as Muncie for 10yr, 125k miles. My dealer is not willing to sell to others - sorry.

Thanks yes I did get the info from Muncie and it sure seems like the way to go. Thanks so much for the reply.
 
I am in a position to buy this warranty. I just got my Telluride Saturday and purchased the CNA National warranty for 10/100K at the dealer and I cost $2500. I called later that day to tell them to cancel it because of the costs I saw in here folks were paying. They obliged so i can now shop around.
I got a quote from Endurance to day for $2100, but obviously this one at under $1500 is a good price for the same length of time.

My concerns are this: In the attached "Fine Print" which was provided by someone earlier in this thread, there is NO mention of the infotainment and all the complex radar and camera based sensors. Those are what I am most concerned about. If you look at the brochure from Kia of Muncie, it says there are exclusions and to read the contract. Maybe someone can set me straight if this is not the proper fine print, or if I am overlooking something. The fine print does list many covered things but not these electronics.

My whole reason for an extended warranty are those complex systems not easily repaired. I will be awaiting an answer before proceeding. I also plan to read the fine print in the Endurance contract I just downloaded.

OK I guess I answered my own question. I skimmed too fast and missed the part in the fine print.
"Includes the POWERTRAIN and GOLD Coverage Plans plus ANY OTHER MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN except for those items listed in the sections EXCLUSIONS FROM COVERAGE."
The Exclusions list and definition of Mechanical Breakdown is acceptable and seems that these systems I was concerned about are covered. I was contemplating just removing my previous post, but figured this may help someone else with similar concerns. Now I just need to contact Kia of Muncie...

I too was wondering the same. My continued concern is that when it says mechanical breakdowns, does that include infotainment systems? I too want to be sure the things you mentioned are covered as I agree on those
being a large part of the allure in an extended warranty for this vehicle. And is the warranty voided if you are late on an oil change or service? This would be a first for us, getting an extended warranty, therefore I have a lot of questions. If we do get one Jason’s package seems like the way to go, thank you Jason for putting it together for us.

Very welcome
 
Ok I'm sure I have read it somewhere on this thread, but can't seem to find it. The warranty that Kia of Muncie is offering is a KIA backed warranty correct? My dealer is trying to sell me theirs because it is backed by KIA and only uses KIA parts. This is the same with the Muncie warranty correct? Muncie is $1578 for 8/120,000 and my dealership is offering same time frame but for $3,260. Just want to be sure that I am comparing apples to apples.
