Most company have been slowly improving their warranty coverage over the years, but according to reports, Volkswagen will be going in the opposite direction for ALL their 2009 models. Bumper to bumper warranty will now be 3 years or 36,000 miles. (power train warranty stays the same)

Volkswagen of America is set to change the warranty on all Volkswagen models starting in 2009, according to a tip from a Volkswagen dealership employee. VW used to provide a four year, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a five year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The powertrain coverage is remaining unchanged, but the bumper to bumper guarantee is being shortened to a three year 36,000 mile coverage. The roadside assistance service will also be adjusted to match the three year new vehicle coverage.
