Want to keep your car ‘till death do you part? Buy from Chrysler and you can, with a new lifetime warranty on Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles.

The plan extends the manufacturer’s previous three-year, 36,000-mile powertrain warranty to last the vehicle’s lifetime―that’s right, forever. Should anything ever go wrong with the engine or drivetrain, Chrysler will pay for all the parts and labor needed to fix it.



But forever does have a few catches. The lifetime warranty only applies to the initial owner of the car and can’t be transferred, nor does it apply to high-performance SRT or fuel-sipping diesel vehicles. Plus, to keep the warranty current, a dealership must inspect the car every five years of the car’s life.

Chrysler says the warranty “provides worry-free ownership,” but it also shows the automaker’s apparent confidence in their product reliability.

A “lifetime” warranty may seem like a long commitment but Kia, Hyundai, and Mitsubishi all already offer ten-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranties. The Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty only exceeds that if the first owner keeps their Chrysler for over 100,000 miles. For customers who sell their cars after fewer than three years or 36,000 miles, the new warranty offers no benefits.

yep
you can't redline the engine (the ECU will record that and you won't get insurance)

you can't modify anything, or you lose it

etc etc.

bottom line = you won't keep it forever

"Chrysler's lifetime warranty won't be offered in Canada


Jul 27, 2007 04:30 AM

Chrysler is offering lifetime warranties on the powertrains of its new cars and trucks in the U.S. but the auto giant won't offer the same coverage to motorists in Canada.

A DaimlerChrysler Canada Inc. spokesperson said yesterday the company has a different marketing strategy in Canada and won't change its coverage of five years or 100,000 kilometres on engines, transmissions and drive systems.

Before yesterday's move by Chrysler Group in the U.S., the company offered a lower powertrain warranty than in Canada, covering costs for three years or 36,000 miles south of the border.

The new U.S. warranty applies only to the first person who owns or leases a gasoline-powered vehicle. A company dealer needs to inspect a buyer's vehicle every five years for the warranty to remain in effect.

Canadians who buy Chrysler vehicles in the U.S. would lose the lifetime warranty once it crossed the border, the spokesperson said.
