Mopar has many good alternatives to the Lifetime warranty such as the 7 Year / Unlimited Mileage and the 8 Year / 125,000 mile extended warranty. The discontinuing of the lifetime Mopar warranty has definitely created a lot of talk! With no return in the plans for Mopar maybe a little tally of opinions will help bring it back in the future.

I'd recommend two things:

1. When you create a new topic and are polling people you should use the poll functionality at the time of posting.
2. You should clearly state your interest is commercial of you are advertising or working for the companies offering the insurance.

I'm only interested in what is covered and not the duration of coverage that may not cover what's costly and important (hint: hybrids)

 

I would buy it. I would have bought it instead of the 8/125000 had it been available.

 

Thank you for your feedback

Was disappointed to discover that it had been discontinued. Would absolutely buy it if available again.

 

It was a money-loser for me on my 2008 T&C.

 

I bought it for several Dodge Caravans that we used for my company. Transmission goes out at 200,000 miles? Covered.

 

If lifetime covered commercial use then it could be worth it.

 

I went with the 7 year unlimited mileage. Given the way I drive that should be about 175-225k miles. Probably be ready for a new car by that time anyway. Free repairs or not, having to constantly go to the dealer for repairs gets old.

I remember there was a catch in one manufactures "lifetime" warranty where they could buy the vehicle from you rather than continue to fix it.

Yes, at the point where the market value of the vehicle is less than the value of the repairs. At that point, the claim would pay out the value of the vehicle and the policy would be terminated.

 

Running the numbers from my 2010 T&C and what I actually paid in repairs (really, not that many all things considered, and only 3 or 4 that might have actually been covered by anything other than Max Care), the 7 and 8 year plans just aren't worth the cost. Yeah, the radio could be exorbitantly expensive to replace, but I've got a 2015 Journey that the radio and all associated components are still working the same as they did when I drove it off the lot.

I did get a lifetime Added Care+ warranty on it, because it covered all the things that I can't/don't want to deal with myself. The key there being "lifetime." My T&C lasted 8 years with us (9 years total in service) before it developed a leaking rear cylinder head due to the mind numbingly stupid combination of plastic heater return hoses directly above an inadequately shielded exhaust manifold - the y-connector failed and blew coolant all over everything, which allowed the cylinder head to overheat just enough to warp. It was leaking maybe half a cup a month of coolant onto the exterior of the block, but that's enough for me to A) not want to drive it more than I needed to, and B) get rid of it due to lack of remaining value versus the cost of the required repair. Doing that repair the right way is beyond my skill set, and far out of my budget.

But that failure was 9 years and 147,000 miles after the in-service date. No current Chrysler factory plan would have covered it. So what's the point?

Bring back the lifetime plan (even if it were just the powertrain), and I will be first in line to buy it. Without lifetime coverage, I'm not even marginally interested.

 

Good Feedback

I got the lifetime ($100 deduct) + the 7 yr road hazard wheel/tire back in Apr 2018 for $2800. obviously havent had to use it yet but having never owned a FCA car before and hearing horror stories, I felt I had no choice.

 

The Hybrid warranty had too many exclusion to be a good value even at the old discounted price.

 

It's pretty obvious you are bumping for self promotion. Do you have a marketing agreement with this website?

 

Thank you for your feed back. My goal is not to offend anyone or give bases for any type of argument.
So I apologize if this is not a topic you wish to see.

You didn't really answer the question. You don't seem to be contributing to the community. Do you have an agreement to market your products on this forum?

 

I did buy the lifetime warranty before it was discontinued. Most of the issues with my 2002 Town & Country occurred after it passed the 10 year mark... but I had other reasons not to replace it at that time, and then held out for the hybrid to become available. I'm not sure I'd have purchased an extended warranty once it was discontinued.

 

CONFIRMED- Chrysler shill-

Business Manager at Gaddis Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram


Look up his Linkedin...

Go away shill- or be more transparent in your market research....

 

Being honest and upfront about things sure makes a difference. This guy isn't. Is that a person anyone would want to do business with?

 

LOL! But he is a car salesman...and even worse- management of car sales people... The king shill LOL!

I'm always amazed when people think nobody is paying attention- he just killed any business he would get from this site... And I SERIOUSLY hope NOBODY responds to him from here on- he deserves to go away... Misrepresent yourself somewhere else.

You can't hide these days.

 

You haven’t been honest and forthright, Sam. It’s pretty simple to disclose who you are and your purpose. You’ve not chosen to do that during your time here. You’ve earned your reputation.

 

I follow maintenance requirements to the letter (spelled out in the Chrysler manual) for the lifetime of the vehicle.... and their reviews are actually positive regarding warranty work - so I am not that worried. I don't go by the dealer schedule of services (which are always filled with fluff/unnecessary work at higher cost), I go by what Chrysler requires in their manual. My 2013 200 is now at 105k, and I recently used my warranty there (they asked if I had a record of the maintenance, which I then provided). The repair went flawlessly & at no cost to me.

 

You’re missing the important part here. The power train lifetime warranty that you value isn’t what you think it is. Read it carefully before your purchase. It’s going to require you to do every service at that unethical dealership. It’s designed to make you feel obligated to having your services performed at their inflated prices. It also gives them an out. When you come in at 9 years to get the transmission replaced, they’ll happily tell you that your warranty is void because you missed a radiator flush by 1,500 miles six years ago.

 

Yup, there’s certainly no way you’ll get screwed on this. They’ll take your shirt, your pants, and your shoes, but that’s all.
