How can I add odometer miles without physically moving my car? Does putting it on bricks and running the wheels work? I need to add 25 miles for my extended warranty to kick in and my car will not drive.
Thanks!

Hi nicole24thomas,

Running the engine in gear with front wheels off the ground works but you mentioned the vehicle cannot be driven. If it is a faulty transmission, it is not going to work.

CAUTION : If you are running as described, DO NOT run at a high speed.

Yes it is a transmission problem. So I guess there is nothing I can do. Thanks for the quick response.

If vehicle is under warranty, why do you need to get it to extended warranty condition?
