Heed warning when pressured to purchase third-party extended warranties and maintenance plans w/ your new Subaru. I was rushed through a couple options with the finance manager at the dealership we purchased our Ascent from. Leaving details out for now, I settled on both an extended "bumper-to-bumper" plan and a maintenance plan, to the tune of over $1800 that would get factored in to our monthly payments. I thought he did a decent job at explaining the details of both, signed my name on the line and that was that. Upon thinking about it further, I decided to go back and actually look at the exact details of both (which I had to find on the internet, no paper copy of such was ever passed on to me)....only to find out that the "bumper-to-bumper" plan is absolute garbage. The maintenance plan was crap too after factoring in the length between recommended service intervals. So long story short, I feel absolutely duped and yes I'm completely aware it's my fault for not reading everything in detail before signing. I'm pointing out my shortcoming in hopes that nobody makes the same mistake I did.
Both are through "Fidelity Warranty Services, Inc" out of Deerfield Beach, FL.
The warranty plan is called "TERM CARE SELECT." I attached a snippet to this post highlighting the covered parts, but here's the full details if you want a really good laugh... http://jmtc.info/T8773
The maintenance plan is called "CAR CARE SERVICE PLAN."
After doing some extensive reading on both, I'd highly advise you to stay away from these if you're offered. Unless of course you like throwing your money away.
I'm in the process of trying to obtain a refund for both, and will post an update if anyone cares, lol.
