So my power train warranty expires this Friday. ..is there anything I should get checked under it before it ends? Any tips or suggestions on what to check? I have noticed that lately the gears do shift a bit rough and don't hold as well as they originally did. Sometimes when going down hills the gears do hold rather high and upon hard acceleration when the car bits 3krpm the gears shift rather hard. I have a automatic v6 2011.

Get a fluid and filter change or even better a flush with your cars age. That should help the tranny.

5year/100k - You should've already flushed the transmission fluid at least once during that period. If you feel something not right, you should've already took it to the dealer. Waiting till the last minute if you think something is not right is crazy.

You drive the car everyday, you would know better then anyone here if your car is tip top or not.

Wasn't waiting to the last minute. The problem only started to develop in the last three or so weeks. I have 54 XXX miles right now. I am going to go report it tomorrow. I am just curious as to what the "limited power train warranty" actually covers.

Time to go crazy. :P Mine expired this summer, and I think next summer is the year I step things up a notch. Headers, tune, maybe a cam. Getting ready for that FI.
