This is the second engine in the car and only has < 15,000miles on the new engine the original warranty expired which I believe was 100,000 miles or 8 years. The 8 years are up already and the car only has 64,000miles but I will be contacting the corporate offices.

I live in British Columbia, Canada and I just rechecked the miles on the new engine are only 21,000. The car was imported from the states. I know the cars come with a 100,000mile, 8 year warranty. Would my car still be covered as it only has 64000miles? Not sure about sea level

With failures that quickly, I'd check what flash you're on and if the OMP system is functioning. Something is up there.

If the 8 years are up you are on your own...I don't think the warranty is still valid on the re-man either. Cn't hurt to call the dealer and see what they will do for you

FYI the Remans are $2400-2700 here in Canada still
