Are Brakes part of 100K Powertrain Warranty?

[tomp]

Are the brakes part of powertrain warranty? I know the pads are not, but how about calipers, etc. I would think not because brakes are not part of the actual driveline but wanted to check other owners' experiences to see if folks have ever had them covered, specifically under Powertrain Warranty as we have about 65K miles on our H3?

Doubtful. I think brakes are considered "wear & tear" type parts. However, I have heard of calipers being replaced but, only at extremely low mileage (like under 5K miles). Obviously if you have a brake problem at this low mileage it would be considered defective when it left the assembly line. BTW...if you plan to replace your front calipers...I'll buy your old ones.

Ill have to agree with 4speed. They said that my radiator was not part of the power train warranty even tho the tech agreed it should be. So I am doubtful the calipers would be

I had to have the rear calipers replaced on my H3, well within warranty period, and they were not covered.

Not covered under powertrain. Paid for my replacement caliper when froze

fwiw- The front brake lines were included on a TSB and will be replaced under warranty if corroded.

Offer still stands to buy your old ones. I want them strictly for mock-up reasons...they don't have to work.

Summit has a decent price on replacement calipers.
