Yes and no. At first they told me I was out of warranty (TOB qualifies under the 3yr/36k Mile Warranty). I told them to look up the "Elite Protection Plan" I purchased, which is basically an extended warranty. It added 2k to the total price of the car and technically doesn't cover parts that are going bad, but if that part was to fail and result in a "Mechanical Failure" aka leave me stranded, it would be covered. The service rep called to make a claim for me, and they decided to cover it under that. I thought I was suckered into it when I bought it, but a $50 deductible vs a huge hole in my wallet was pretty nice.
As far as getting it fixed under that 3yr/36k mile warranty, it's sort of hit or miss depending on the dealer. I've seen a few posts where they actually covered it, and others where they wouldn't. Good luck!
