Life time powertrain warranty...

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

Chrysler will announce today a new Life time powertrain on all Gas vehicles sold in the US.

Great news for wrangler owners!


What we know:
Excludes Diesels
NON transferable
Must have dealer inspection every 5 years and you get a 6 week window to keep the warranty

Wow, my warranty has already not been honored a few times. A lifetime of false promises sounds like a pain in the ***.

Wow, I was just 10 mins ago coming into work thinking when I get my SRT8 and race my buddies M5 out of our parking lot that I might rip out my drivetrain through the intersection because the intersection is a bit bumpy and will cause that live rear axle to do weird things... so tell me my '08 on order will have this warranty? :)

Well, a Jeep dealership in another forum just posted:


Here in the next hour or so, Chrysler will be announcing their new warranty program. Lifetime powertrain warranties!!

So why is this in the off-topic section you ask.............it excludes SRT's and diesels.

All other Dodge Chrysler or Jeep vehicles purchased on or after today will have the lifetime powertrain warranty included.


So I guess my srt8 is out unless he's incorrect.

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

I'll post up the official press release!


Just in:

SRT's are excluded
Diesels
Dodge Sprinters
Rentals
police,fire and taxis

Chrysler Introduces New 'Best-in-Industry' Lifetime Powertrain Warranty
on Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge Vehicles


* The New Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty – the first from an OEM and the longest in the industry – is a statement of confidence in the reliability of Chrysler products
* Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components – engine, transmission and drive system
* Provides worry-free ownership for new Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge owners


Auburn Hills, Mich., Jul 26, 2007 - Chrysler today announced that the Company would extend its powertrain warranty from the 3-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty to a new Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty applies to most new Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles purchased from dealer inventory and delivered on or after July 26, 2007.

The Lifetime Powertrain Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components – engine, transmission and drive system. The new powertrain warranty is limited to the first registered owner or retail lessee. Customers should contact dealers for details on vehicle selection.

"This new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is a statement of confidence to our customers to the reliability of their powertrain. It's peace-of-mind reassurance for as long as they own the vehicle," said Steven Landry, Executive Vice President – North America, Sales and Marketing, Service and Parts, Chrysler Group.

To continue warranty coverage, the owner must have a powertrain inspection performed by an authorized Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealer once every 5 years. This inspection will be performed at no charge. The inspection must be made within 60 days of each 5-year anniversary of the warranty start date of the vehicle.

Landry added, "The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty underscores our focus on quality and customer satisfaction. It demonstrates our commitment to customers and the confidence we have in our ability to produce quality, reliable and durable vehicles. That's why we put 'lifetime' on it."

That's great but 90% of us here have already voided the powertrain warranty.

Pretty hard to void a JK powertrain! Superchargers,hemi swaps,axle swaps..etc

get hammered by folks that bought last week. If you see a guy you sold a Rubicon to yesterday walking into Airpark with a bulgy trenchcoat I would suggest you start moving !!! :D Good luck to you!

Powertrain warranty would usually cover defects or failure under normal use.

I doubt some of the stuff we do falls under normal use or failure due to workmanship :D

[lancetkenyon]

Surprising that DC is not covering deisels, since they are supposed to last longer anyways. And are they gonna try the old "The engine just wore out, that is not a manufacturers defect. Sorry." routine?

[Jdemonto@Airpark Jeep Sales]

Warranty's and Jeep trail use is a fine line and dealers will use descression on whats considered abuse.

"Warranty" what does that really mean? There is always a loop hole i fall through. Some power option is going to be my downfall.
