Chrysler cutting Warranty

[itguy08]

Better buy those Mopars soon as the only good thing about them, the 100k warranty is gone in 2016.

FCA Gutting Warranty

Guess you have to do something to shore up the lowest margins and profits in the business.

That is pretty funny this "lesser brand" comment.

Will not the warranty be in line with Ford and GM?

Exactly. For some reason though this ID10T has a problem with Dodge products. Keep bashing a brand and you'll need a new IP address Ram hater (and a new user name). "Fordrules" is open I hear.

Rule 11
You may post about problems you have with a product or organization, however the use of the forums to repeatedly attack them is strictly forbidden.

I've never read any problem this OP has had with Dodge. I bet the farm he's never owned one. That would leave one to believe he is breaking the rules of RV.net.

How strong are these rules? Who knows....

I'm guessing the "repairs and expensive work" weren't powertrain related?

I too had GM products which cost me a pile of money for repairs as well. So I got rid of em as well.

yes, the Chryslers were power train issues, but it was out of warranty based on time, not mileage and they weren't willing to accomidate. 2 transmissions were amongst the failures.

What would be interesting is to see what each mfg has for expenses for warranty cost/vehicle sold. But I'll bet that is pretty highly guarded info.

Matches the Ford warranty. Ford has had the 5 year/60,000 mile power train warranty on their diesels for some time and some people don't realize it. Including some on this forum

I guess my experience is substantially different than yours.

let's see. 6 GM vehicles over the years, each one went 150K + miles, NONE ever were in the dealers shop for any warranty or repair work.

My Chysler's another matter. every one ended up with major warranty repairs, and expensive work needed after the warranty expired. and I got rid of all of them before 75K miles.

And GM will continue the 100K warranty on it's diesel power train.

It says the change doesn't apply to Fiat, Alfo Romeo or diesel powered models. I wonder if that means trucks with a Cummins and Ecodiesels or European cars with a diesel engine.
