Warranty on radio ?

[Dawson]

When we were doing paper work for our telluride the salesman mentioned the radio unit is not included in the 5 year warranty but only has a 3 year warranty. Is that correct? I researched the telluride quite a bit before purchase and don't recall any mention of a separate shorter warranty on the radio? Just the 5 year bumper to bumper (which you'de think would include the radio ) and the 10 year on the drivetrain.

If so, why would they do that?

Yes, it’s true. As to why they’d do it, probably because electronics have a higher rate of failure. I purchase the extended bumper to bumper, which covers everything for 10/100.

Would you mind giving us the cost to the extended 10/100 bumper to bumper? Trying to have an idea or something to compare if we decide to do add that.

There is a more lengthy discussion on additional warranty packages in the forums, Mine was $1800 but some folks got a similar package for $1400. . It is from third parties so prices vary and are generally negotiable. It is my understanding that all electrical systems are covered for only 3 years from KIA.

Here is one thread on the subject

Anyone purchase an extended warranty?

Did anyone buy an extended bumper to bumper warranty or extended warranty on electronics for their Telly? If so, what was the coverage/cost? My SX should be in next week and I'm debating whether or not to get an extended warranty.

Definitely read through the other threads, It’ll give you something to base negotiations off of. I purchased mine for around $1600

Who did you get extended warranty through if I may ask.
