Engine light. Codes, P146B, P0114, C2B00 @ 64000 miles and the emission purge pump has failed, ECU, purge solenoid. I see an extended warranty has gone out for the same year Envision. As this is the same P/N for this brand and same problems, (I.E. 2020-2022 Encore extended warranty) will this be covered anytime in the future?

Three nuts snapped, which secure the front muffler to the length of the exhaust system. The engine side of the exhaust pipe became disconnected and dragged along road, which occurred while driving the vehicle on a residential road. Steering was not impacted, however the pipe would have eventually come completely free, without driving directly to an auto-bod…
