I had the same experience when I made the mistake of  buying  a  Fiat.  The
warranty  had  a  clause stating that "wear items" weren't covered and gave
what seemed a reasonable, but not exhaustive,  list  (light  bulbs,  tires,
etc.).  When  it came time for warranty repairs, suddenly the whole car was
a "wear item".  Virtually nothing was covered.
