MOPAR lifetime warranty

I had a similar warranty with my 2014 Wrangler. It came with the Wrangler when I purchased it new and was incorporated in the initial cost of the vehicle. The "fine print" problem I had with the warranty was that it required you to go to the dealership or licensed repair shop to take care of every tiny little thing stipulated in the factory owners manual. You could not do any of the work yourself, basically had to be somewhere that keeps computerized records of the work performed, mileage, etc. So basically, if you went 1 mile over or over the time limit of when the owners manual said to rotate the tires or any other little thing, the warranty was void. Another PITA stipulation was that if you got the work done at any place other than the purchasing dealer you had to call a certain phone number and give them all kinds of information about the work, the place you had the work done, mileage, etc. Me being a DIY handy fella I wasn't willing to pay for every little thing that I could easily do myself. Needless to say I purposely voided the warranty and have saved myself a ton of money I'm sure. Basically what Old-Biscuit was trying to warn you about. Hope this helps

You did a good job of explaining the stipulations of these lifetime warranties. We visited a Jeep dealership in Phoenix looking at the new JL Wrangler. Every new Jeep on the lot had big banners on the windshield advertising the lifetime warranty. I requested the warranty brochure and found out about all the details you mentioned above. Just not worth the hassles especially if you do some things yourself.
