September 6, 2006 -- General Motors took another step on the comeback trail today, upping the standard powertrain warranty on all of its 2007 models to five years or 100,000 miles. The increase, up from three years/36,000 miles, gives GM a warranty on par with those offered by Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi (10/100,000) and Suzuki (7/100,000). The move is intended to boost resale values, and comes at a time when GM has enjoyed improved quality scores from companies such as J.D. Power & Associates. This is the second warranty boost this year for a domestic automaker: earlier, Ford Motor Co. increased the length of warranties on all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles to five years/60,000 miles.
