Basic Warranty
The basic warranty, also known as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, covers repairs to correct defects in materials or workmanship of any part supplied by Toyota. However, it does not cover repairs for normal wear and tear or maintenance. Based on the information provided, the basic warranty expired in 2008, after 3 years from the 2005 in-service date.
Since the basic warranty coverage is for 3 years/36,000 miles, whichever comes first, the time limit of 3 years was reached in 2008, which caused the basic warranty to expire, even if the mileage limit had not yet been exceeded. So as of 2023, the basic warranty on this 2005 Toyota has been expired for 15 years, leaving repairs outside of defects in materials or workmanship to be paid out-of-pocket by the owner.
Powertrain Warranty
The powertrain warranty covers repairs to the engine, transmission/transaxle, front-wheel drive system, rear-wheel drive system, seatbelts, airbags, and hybrid system, including the battery control module, hybrid control module, and inverter with converter. Based on the information provided, the powertrain warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2010, 5 years from the in-service date. Since the powertrain warranty coverage is 5 years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first, the time limit of 5 years was reached in 2010, which caused the powertrain warranty to expire, even if the mileage limit had not yet been exceeded.
Corrosion Perforation Warranty
The rust perforation limited warranty covers the repair or replacement of any original body panel that rusts through from the inside out. Based on the information, the rust perforation limited warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2010, 5 years after the in-service date, since the coverage is for 5 years with no mileage limit.
As the rust perforation limited warranty does not have a mileage limit, only the time period of 5 years determines expiration. Therefore, this warranty expired in 2010 unless it has already been voided due to damage, abuse, or neglect to the vehicle.
Air Conditioning Warranty
The air conditioning warranty covers repairs needed to correct defects in factory-installed air conditioning systems. Based on the information provided, the air conditioning warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2008, 3 years after the in-service date. Since the air conditioning warranty coverage is 3 years/36,000 miles, whichever comes first, the time limit of 3 years was reached in 2008, which caused the warranty to expire, even if the mileage limit had not yet been exceeded. Therefore, as of 2023, the air conditioning warranty has been expired for 15 years on this vehicle.
Battery Warranty
The battery warranty covers any battery that fails to hold a charge due to defects in materials or workmanship. However, it does not cover batteries that simply wear out over time. Based on the information provided, the battery warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2007 after 2 years from the in-service date. Since the battery warranty coverage is 2 years/24,000 miles, whichever comes first, the time limit of 2 years was reached in 2007, which caused the warranty to expire, even if the mileage limit had not yet been exceeded.
Therefore, as of 2023, the battery warranty has been expired for 16 years on this vehicle, meaning any battery replacement or repair needed would not be covered by the new vehicle limited warranty.
Tire Warranty
The tire warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship of original equipment tires. However, it does not cover normal wear or tire damage from road hazards. Based on typical Toyota tire warranties, the tire warranty likely expired within the first few years or tens of thousands of miles from the in-service date.
Most Toyota tire warranties are 3 years/36,000 miles, whichever comes first. So for this 2005 Toyota, the tire warranty likely expired around 2008, after 3 years from the in-service date. Since tire warranties have relatively short time and mileage limits, it is likely the tire warranty has been expired for many years on this vehicle as of 2023. Any tire replacement or repair costs would not be covered under the new vehicle limited warranty.
Federal Emissions Warranty
The federal emissions warranty covers repairs to correct defects in materials or workmanship in emission control systems. However, it does not cover normal wear or maintenance. Based on the information provided, the federal emissions warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2007, 2 years after the in-service date, since the coverage is for 2 years/24,000 miles.
The Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act requires vehicle manufacturers to provide coverage for some emissions-related parts for up to 8 years or 80,000 miles. For this 2005 Toyota, the federal emissions warranty expired in 2013 based on the 8-year time limit. However, under the Clean Air Act, certain emissions-related parts such as the catalytic converter, electronic emissions control unit, and onboard emissions diagnostic device may be eligible for extended coverage beyond the warranty if failure of those parts causes the vehicle to exceed emissions standards.
So while the emissions warranty expired in 2013, the Clean Air Act may provide additional protection for certain emissions parts past that date, helping the owner cover the cost of expensive emissions-related repairs. Owners should check with the manufacturer to see if their repair qualifies for extended coverage under the Clean Air Act.
California Emissions Warranty
The California emissions warranty covers repairs to correct defects in materials or workmanship in emission control systems. However, it does not cover normal wear or maintenance. Based on the information provided, the California emissions warranty for this 2005 Toyota expired in 2008, 3 years after the in-service date.
Since the California emissions warranty coverage is 3 years/50,000 miles, whichever comes first, the time limit of 3 years was reached in 2008, which caused the warranty to expire, even if the mileage limit had not yet been exceeded. Therefore, as of 2023, the California emissions warranty has been expired for 15 years on this vehicle.

Extended Warranties
Extended Warranty Available Upon Car Purchase
When purchasing a new Toyota, owners may have had the option to purchase an extended warranty for additional coverage beyond the factory warranty. An extended warranty can provide peace of mind by covering repairs due to mechanical breakdowns and other covered repairs beyond the expiration of the factory warranty.
The best way to find out if an extended warranty was purchased on this 2005 Toyota is to check the original paperwork from the dealership for an extended service contract. The owner may also contact the dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check if an extended warranty is on record for the VIN. Since extended warranties have individual terms and conditions, the owner would need to review the contract to see the specific coverage, exclusions, and length of the extended warranty based on time and mileage limits.
