i think its because they, gm, doesn't care! they want you to buy a new car so you have the new warranty.

The Used Car Certified powertrain warranty is only available in the USA and cannot be simply given to a customer who drives in and requests it. The vehicle has to be a dealer owned used car/truck and must to go through a certification process at the dealership. Not all vehicles end up getting certified because they don't pass the inspection. Current owners of 2006 and older are not eligible and cannot be given the warranty unless they purchased used from a GM dealership after March 2007. All 2007 and 2008 have the same warranty no matter if you purchased it new, used or from an individual. I know this bites for the 2006 and older vehicles but the dealers can't change a decision made by GM.

G.M needs to step up to the plate with the owners of the 2006 hhr models. It would be good P.R. to offer these owners(including me) the 5Yr. 100,000 plan just because we were the pioneers & bought the first one's. If they believe that their product is that good then the people like me who take it back to the dealer periodiocally should qualify if the dealer inspects the hhr & certifies it to be in the program.
I wll talk to my dealer (since my 2006 only has 17,000 miles) but I'm sure it's not his call. If anybody has any luck or finds more info let us know!!!

Since it's a POWERTRAIN warranty, why not extend it to the 2005, 2004 Cobalts????

Come on people, get real. It has to start SOMEPLACE. GM already selcted the "someplace".

The powertrain limited warranty is available on 04-05 Cobalts that are purchased as certified used vehicles.

The GM certified used vehicle powertrain warranty is available on all 2002-2006 GM certified used vehicles.

The problem, as I see it, is that an original owner doesn't have the option to bring in their vehicle for certification in order to get the extended warranty.

2005 and 2006 Cobalts and Aveos have a 5 year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty from GM. No other Chevrolets had that warranty, so you see life isn't fair to everyone on a lot of warranties. Also Buicks and Cadillacs have longer base warranties. Any Chevrolet dealer that really wants you as a customer won't turn you down on major powertrain repairs after the 3/36 expires, unless the failure was caused by owner abuse. All Chevrolet dealers have GM authorization to repair out of warranty vehicles for customer satisfaction. You won't find that with the other manufacturers. Chevy Rocks

This was good to here about, had no idea the dealership could adjust for "customer satisfaction" Think I'll be looking for a new dealership, since my current hasn't been real helpful on even simple issues with my other vechicles
