OK I need some help here, please. When I bought the Auris I was offered a 2 year extension of 5 year warranty of the car. I told the car salesman that I had had problems with warranties before and that I was not interested. I was then told that this was an extention to the original warranty of the car and it was underwritten by Toyota. I was tempted by this and again made sure that it was `Toyota` warranty. I then paid £500 for the 2 year warranty. Now this warranty is advertised on the Toyota website and the whole thrust of the blurb is that your are buying a Toyota product. I therefore assumed that the 2 year extension is `seemlessly` tacked on to the original 5 year warranty. Hence if any fault occured it would be treated as if the car was under the orginal warranty. Well when I had had the car a few months an intermittent fault occurred with the horn. I took it back and they could not find the fault. The horn worked for a few months and the fault reoccurred. I rang the garage up and arranged for the horn to be repaired when I bought the car in for its MOT and servicing. This time they found a fault in the horn (but it still past the MOT!?)

The situation now is that because I originally reported the fault the fault some months ago it has not `failed` but has malfunctioned due to wear and tear. Thus I have to pay £40 for a new horn. Now my gripe is that the Toyota warranty I bought does not seem to tack onto the orginal warranty but is, in fact, subject to separate conditions. I mean, can I presume that if the horn had failed during the 5 year period of the orginal warranty it would have been replaced by a new horn? If this is the case then this warranty is no better than any other warranty. Have I got the wrong end of the stick. I have now lost all faith in the product and feel like instigating a complaint. Thanks for any help.
