I think the 100,000 started in 2013 if I am not mistaken. It started years ago at 50,000, and has moved up bit by bit thru the years.
It does suck when it fails just after the warranty is up.
My aunts problem was around 55,000 on a 75,000 mile federal required warranty. They originally tried to tell her it was the muffler, and the muffler wasn't covered. It was the muffler. I was clogged full of the failed cat converter pieces. I told her to have them smog the car, and that pretty much pinned them in the corner.
