If you have a bumper to bumper warranty they should cover anything that goes wrong. Unless you have mods done, some may still honor it. But if the problem can be traced back directly to the mod then your SOL. For example: if you throw a CAI on your car and drive through a puddle and it hydrolocks. Then you take to the dealer with the CAI on there, they probably won't honor your warranty. Dealers should never charge you to take a look at your car if your under the bumper to bumper warranty. In my case i got lucky, i was out of the bumper to bumper warranty, but i was still within the powertrain warranty (5yrs/60k miles). So there was no charge.
