Are brakes covered under the Chevy warranty?

My new Chevy has been giving me trouble with the braking system, which seems weird since I just got it! Does the warranty cover brakes?

Sorry to hear your Chevy’s having brake problems! The brakes are covered by Chevy’s three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, so long as they fail due to a manufacturer error. Since your Chevrolet is new, it’s likely that your brakes will fall in this category.
However, if it’s determined that the brakes are failing due to wear and tear, an accident, or an alteration you’ve made to the car, the Chevy warranty will not cover your repair costs.
For reference, here are some other situations when repairs will not be covered by your Chevy warranty:
  • Improper maintenance
  • Environmental conditions and severe weather
  • Aftermarket products
  • Contaminated or poor-quality fuel
  • Regular maintenance, including oil changes, tire rotations, and brake pads
  • Normal wear and tear
If you want to fill in these gaps in your warranty coverage, consider adding car insurance policies. If you’re worried about your
