About factory warranty

my car is 06 with 49000 miles. i think my car is still under warranty because 49000 miles is still under warranty mileage.

A 4-year/60,000-mile Basic New Vehicle Limited Warranty
A 5-year/50,000-mile Federal Emission Defect Warranty
A 6-year/70,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty
A lifetime seat belt warranty
And a 7-year/unlimited-mileage Limited Corrosion Warranty.

A few months ago i changed the spark plugs and i think coilpack wires are making ticking sound. RIght side of engine. WIll the dealership fix this for me for free?
Also, my brake pads are squealing, will they fix the pads for me also?

thx

The Stealership might cover the coilpack depending on when your G was purchased. Forget the brake issue, is the squeek you're hearing just dust/dirt or are your pads shot? Not something you want to ignore....

when i go up to a dealer, should i say that after i replaced the spark plugs, it started to make ticking noise? or say that i didn't replace the spark plugs.

my pads r unevenly worned. maybe from bad alignment. O! is alignment under warranty?

No, when you go to the dealership give them zero information with the exception of...."I hear a ticking noise could it be a coilpack?" If you mention installing plugs the blame for the coilpack might fall on you, and they would if possible! Brake pads and how your G is aligned have nothing to do with one nother....primerib & apples. If you have uneven pad wear you have a possible clamping issue, don't believe the calipers could be that wasted. Alignment doesn't fall under our warranty, that's your responsibility....Sorry!

oh god..my inside of both front tires have no treads..lol.. but center and outside are like BRAND NEW lol i dunno what i should do. Fixing alignment is gonna cost me like $400 since i have to get aftermaket stuff. But just leaving it like this will kill me with tire costs... (my rims are 20inchs, so )
BUt i'll b selling this car before october...
Any suggestions?

^ If you're selling the car in October, just get some cheap all season tires with a treadwear rating over 300. Flip the tires every 5K-6K miles. That should buy you some time till then.

is it ok to have different brand tires? I think my tires r brigestone front and back.
Rear tires have plenty of treads left so should i just change the front tires with different brand?

this is lil off topic but what brand is cheap and reliable? i just found one with $100... that's still $200 for two tires. Goodyear Eagle GT for 116.
Yokohama AVID W4S for 123. they all have ratings like 7.2

$200 for two tires is cheap. Just make sure that the treadwear rating is 300 plus (they won't wear out as quickly).

Flipping the tires means you move them to the other side rolling a different direction than what they were. That way the inside wear in now on the outside....understand? Who's on first? LOL
