my wife driving the vehicle and suddenly the battery light comes on and few minutes later all the light on the cluster comes on. good things she’s only a block away from home so she manage to go home safe. I open the hood and I notice the smell like burnt rubber so I look around the engine compartment and I found the drive belt was snapped. found out the water pump seized up. the car has only 56,000 kilometers and just a little under 5 years , but we have bought extended warranty for 6 years. Is this covered under power train warranty? i do believed water pump is part of the engine. please need an answer.

Ruben , how would anyone know what your extended warranty covers. Either read your warranty contract or call the warranty company.

I know a lawyer that would read and explain what is and what is not covered by your extended warranty. Initial consultation is $500.  
Or, you could ask at the dealership that sold you the warranty.

The water pump is covered by the powertrain warranty, 5 years/60,000 miles.

I hope you see in hindsight that the car should have been immediately parked. Those were drastic symptoms.
