Chrysler today leapfrogged every other car maker by extending its powertrain warranty on every new car and truck it sells to the life of the vehicle. The warranty will apply to the entire powertrain including the engine, transmission/transaxle, drive shafts, and axles. The new warranty goes into effect today, July 26, 2007 and applies to all new 2007s that are on the dealer lots as well as 2008 models.

 

is this for real, and does this cover the trucks too. i am real close too buyin a new mega cab:YEAH

 

I'd go bitch until the dealer gave it to me.

 

That's the oldest trick in the book, you know you will be out of business in a few years...........so offer a lifetime warranty. Chryser is going to the auction block within two years. The dealerships are going to sold the chinese maker CHERY, someone will buy the HEMI patent rights and rights to the Minivans and the rest will close up shop. The new owners, a private investmate company will be happy a can be, Writing is on the wall.

 

Your gonna need it anyways with all the transmissions your gonna blow.

 

There is this bridge in my town.... I'm not supposed to tell anyone about this... but... I can get you in on the ground floor.... cheap...

 

Tony should go bitch to the Ford dealership to give him the Chrysler warranty?

 

I have to agree with you on this one Dan. Funny thing is a lot of people will buy vehicles for this reason alone. The goal is to sell vehicles if you offer a lifetime powertrain warranty isn't that going to make people hold on to vehicles longer and cause a sales to be lower in the future. O wait like Dan said they are setting up to sell a crap load of vehicles now and bail out before they have to invest the money made today into the vehicles that fail down the road.

1. Dan is retarded and is just bitter because DCX came up with a way to sell off the bloated inventory.

2. The warranty covers new 2006 vehicles as well and you can also buy the warranty for $750 if you already own an 06 or 07.

3. See this thread for some of the details. A salesman from Hall D/C/J in Fenton is posting:

warrenty is just a word - nothing more. Say a shift selinoid fails, so your car defaults back to first gear and blows the motor.Guess what! that selenoid caused the problem and it's not considered part of the drivetrain, it's part of the electrical sytem...bye bye warrenty this is why I got rid of our Dodge neon...got sick constantly paying out the butt to find out what the warrenty DOESNT cover. Anybody know what it cost to make Neon tranny shift properly while still under warrenty? I do - $950.00 for the selenoids then they try to sell you a clutch pack cuz it needs that now too.oh yeah no warrenty there either cuz it was caused by the electric part that is'nt covered. You wanna talk about Chrysler and warrenties? cuz I can go on......

 

I love Brandi.

 

If had read that thread on GL, you would not have bothered posting this, as this question was already specifically asked of the Dealership employee and answered. I also think you're retarded for having the "look a gift horse in the mouth" attitude.

Some of the verbiage of the warranty is now also posted thanks to a Member that works at Clarkston Jeep in addition to the Dealer Salesman answering questions.

Look through this list and you'll find some really surprising items, such as viscous couplings, etc:

its a limited life time warrenty and its only offered to the original owner. it doesn't transfer to anybody and limited usually means you get one time to replace and the second time you pay

 

shoulda went with the new chevy
they look wicked! i want one :YEAH

 

Default to first gear? Obviously you dont know anything about limp mode. This was already in the works before Daimler sold off the sales so it may or may not be a ploy to sell alot of cars before they sell out. If its not then good for chrysler taking the right step to support the customer.

 

Speaking of Limp Mode(WTF), that reminds me I got to take my viagra, and a Drain-O Speed ball , got a wicked night with my hands........personal moments

 

you sir are a crack head, when are you hooking it up for me over there anyway Mr. I have too much time on my hands!!

 

I didn't read what kind of support you get when they sell all of Chysler off and rename it something else.

 

All I know is I would rather take a chance with a chrysler then by an over priced chevy!

 

Yeah over priced Chevy or underbuilt Chrysler with some of the worse quality numbers in the automotive world. Funny thing is any vehicle built by about any manufactor if optioned the same are usually extremely close in price. Funny the vehicles they don't include.
