warranty

Hello friends! I've had my 2015 smart fortwo for a couple weeks now and I LOVE it! I'm now looking at extended warranties because I'm scared to death something will happen to it that will end up costing an arm and a leg. Does anyone know of any known issues with the 2015 smart fortwo's that...

Hey guys! My 2013 Smart ED is coming to the end of the 4 year warranty in November. I just bought it last month and it only has 12k miles. I imagine not much (if anything) will be warranty worthy. I took it in for it's first service at the MB dealer two weeks ago and I asked the service...

2013 Passion, 10K. I bought the car used at 8K and noticed just now that when I attempt to spray the rear windshield wiper fluid, the fluid just 'bursts out' underneath the rear left wheel. I suspect some tubing/connector is broken/stuck. Since the car is under 12K but over the 1 year on...

Hey, I have found Beshoff Motorcars and brought my smart (Lucy) to get her first 10,000 mile check up. They will NOT accept the extended maintenance warranty I bought from smart of Stevens Creek. They did the oil change and something else that they would accept as part of the warranty. The air...

Hi All, My 'warranty' (extended service contract) is up in April, yep - 5 years already! Is there anything I should be on the look out for? Any 'common' problems? My heater blower is acting up so I am going to have that replaced. I am also going to ask about replacing the 'sunroof'...

:( Since September our 2009 Smart Cabriole has been in the shop over 65 days. Each time they return it, the check engine light comes on within a day or two of normal driving. The dealer says it has replaced the engine control module twice and a wiring harness. Frankly, I want to trade the car...

Just found out, in case no one posted, Mercedes has now extended the Warranty on 2012 Smart Cars to 4 Years or 50,000 miles.

I did some research and plan to keep this updated. I took the time to do a side by side comparison on the warranties of all the 'micro cars': Micro Car Warranty Comparison Chart I am under the impression that SmartUSA is working on improving the warranty, but nothing official has been...

Here is my questiion in telegraphic english: The dealer says that it is the earlier of "2 years or 24,000 miles" - in other words, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. (THIS CAR ilesis 28 months old but has 3k miles) Seller says whichever comes later. Hi smartcar geeks and geniuses: who is right?? :)

I have 2008 smart passion. I purchased the extended warranty which covers me for 5 years/75,000 miles. I have 35,000 on it now, so the warranty is still good. I have what sounds like a pinhole in either the muffler or an exhaust pipe and will be taking my car in next week. I can get an...

My ex bought the smart fortwo passion I now have to drive because we lived in Manhattan and for space reasons, he thought it was a good idea. For parking purposes it's actually not bad (aside from the giant blind spot). Everything else about the car is just appalling, most of all SMART the...

I have a 2008 Smart Pure Coupe. It is the one with the black composite roof and not the panoramic transparent roof. 1 week before I hit my 24,000 Warranty expiration, I was washing the car and noticed some small hairline cracks in the black roof panel. One of them is about 18 inches long, and...

Greetings Everyone, I have an interesting issue. The passenger disc brake caliper is not fully releasing causing the brake pads to rub the rotor. This is very apparent when driving under 10mph. To confirm this I put my 09 Passion Coup up on the lift and the drivers front wheel made no noise...

Well, after 9 months of dealing with intermittent reverse problems, and two dealerships (neither one where I bought it) unable to replicate, I found the posts on this site about the clutch problems in some 2008 builds. 2 weeks before warranty was out, I went back to my local dealer for the...

Hi, I did a search for survey and didn't see this topic so I apologize ahead of time if I missed it. smart HQ sent me a service survey today asking about my service visit last week. I took the car in for its 23 month warranty checkup. My rear hatch had water in it, the transmission often stuck...

I'm considering purchasing either a fortwo or a MINI. I've taken both cars for a test drive and would be happy with either one. I'm just wondering if anyone here has spent considerable time with both cars and can share their experience. I'm finding it very hard to make a choice just based on my...

Hey everybody, On Sunday while driving the twisties of So. Cal. my beloved Charlie up and died on me. The tale of the adventures of getting Roadside Assistance and a flatbed tow in the sticks where there is no cell coverage is a tale for another day. The bottom line is I had a short in the...

Hi everyone! just took delivery of a passion with leather in san francisco. As I was parking in front of my place, one of my neighbors comes out and asks - wait for it - "is it electric?" I wonder what the record is for the shortest time after driving off the lot and getting this...

Looking for recommendations on extended service warranties/mechanical breakdown insurance. Many companies such as GEICO do not cover the Smart car for 2009, but may do so in the future.

These are great cars & we love 'em, but they're not perfect... Let's start a list of warranty claims for service needs and/or failed parts that require(d) a trip to the dealer. What failed? Approximate age/mileage? Dealer service dept. rating: A, B, C, D, F This can be a good, running...
