Chrysler warranty (non E30 discussion)

[damith]

I'm no Chrysler fan but they have just annouced (everybody knows about that by now) this "life time warranty" offer. What do u guys think?

[E30SPDFRK]

Probably just for the original owner. If not, just a long term way for them to lose more money.

[KenC]

Yeah, it's original owner only... most people who buy a car new don't drive it for 15+ years anyhow.

I think it's a good sales idea. It's drivetrain only though. If it were lifetime bumper to bumper I'd buy one.

its a good marketing idea...It might have convinced to to buy a new wrangler (something I would probably keep forever)

[Jscotty]

The term "lifetime warranty" is subjective. Even though we are led to believe that this means "indefinate" it could very well mean for the life of the product. So if the useable life of an automobile is estimated to be 15 years or 100,000 miles this warranty could be identical to the KIA warranty with a different way of saying it.

Also I read the fine print on the bottom of the screen. It said something about a deductable but it vanished before I could finish reading it.

It is hard to get wrangler stuff fixed under warranty. They normally will play it off as abuse. So clean the hell out of it before you take it in :)

And the BMW uses lifetime tranny fluid... so don't get too excited :)

I'm most likely getting the new JK Sahara 4 door, I've always
wanted a Jeep and now that it has four doors I could pass it off
as being practical to the wife. Perfect for living in MI, good in the snow and fun in the summer.

[delatlanta1281]

I don't think heeps I mean Jeeps are covered.


And lotsa car companies use the "lifetime tranny fluid"
Change that shit though. They are banking on the thing breaking out of warranty so you have to get it fixed. You can't prove a faulty tranny is caused by fluid, so the average Joe will take it back to the dealership stating the "lifetime fluid" is to blame. Joe is then stuck there at the dealership's mercy and is fucked per usual.

bmw lifetime fluid means 100k

You sure Jeeps aren't covered?

My boss has one, biggest bitch to get the top on and off, seriously takes forever. The hardtop is fucking HUGE too. Its an alright car, lots of plastic...but I digress.

[delatlanta1281]

I believe I heard it on the radio commercial, jeeps, srt4's, vipers, etc....

[emi325i]

The new v6 minivan motor is a joke.. I drove my boss's wrangler limited 4 door.. My toyota echo will run circles around it. First thing I'd do is .. not buy one..

I had a 87 wrangler - first year of the YJ. It was a toilet. My parents has a 94 Grand Cherokee - it was a toilet too. So I am turned off on Jeeps cheap ass build quality.
