The real interpetation of this is; for the life of the machine,which just died and not your lifetime.

It will be interesting to see how that plays out. We always used to drive Chrysler products in my family, but the crap they put out in the 70's and 80's convinced me that I could do better elsewhere, and I have bought mostly Mazdas, Nissans and Toyotas since then.

Maybe the new Chrysler organization will start making products that will continue to be reliable after the first 40K miles. Or they will go broke satisfying warranty claims.

Before I bought a new Chrysler product to take advantage of the "lifetime power warranty", I would carefully research just what they mean by lifetime power warranty. My guess is that there is a bunch of fine print that will make that phrase mean something different than my interpretation: that they will keep fixing the powertrain of the vehicle for as long as I LIVE.

Back in the 60's Chrysler sold lots of cars with their highly publicized 5 year or 50K mile warranty. But that was well defined as to the time and mileage limits. In general, cars last longer today than they did back then, due to advancements in lubricants and materials, and better machining. But unlimited mileage and time! If something seems too good to be true, it probably is not true.

It will be interesting to find out!

Better hope you don't have any electrical connector problems! I have swore off Chrysler because they could not get me several electrical connectors which melted-they were unique to a specific year, no more to be found! Greg

Very interesting" I called one Dodge dealer and was told that I could not change the oil to keep the extented warrenty in effect, although I could take to Grease Monkey or other Lube type stores and keep the receipt. Another dealer told me as long as I had a receipt from any oil retailer that I purchased oil, then I could change the oil myself. Both dealers thought it best that the new Vehicle was brought to the dealer to be sure the lifetime warrenty stayed in efect. I would definetly read the fine print several times.

I drove Chrysler Products for about 35 years. From my OWN experience, BEWARE!!!. Chrysler used to have the best warranty, now they have the worst. They will find any excuse to lay the blame on YOU! To say as briefly as possible why I will never own another Chrysler product. I had a Chrysler Concord that I bought new. Before the 3-36 warranty went out, I purchased the best extended warranty the dealer offered. Cost me $1,400. Went out to crank the car, 36,600 miles, wouldn't crank. Was told by the dealer that all 6 plugs were fouled and the bill was $275.00. Called Chrysler and they lowered the bill to $195.00. They said the plugs were supposed to be changed at 36K. My owners manual didn't say that! Traded the car that day and I got $400.00 back from Chrysler after cancelling the warranty. Cost me $1,195.00 to drive the car 600 miles.

A little OT but I heard that for the first time the big North American auto makers are under 50% market share subject to import names.. Dan-North American consumer.

With that warrenty and $100. you can get your oil changed. If you can leave the car for a week.

There is no trustworthy Chrysler corp dealer in my area. The service "advisers" push all sorts of unnecessary repairs on customers. So I quit buying from them.

It says it covers all pickups except Diesel and Ram chassis.

I have a Saab Sonett II that I bought new in 1969 with a lifetime warrante. I got in touch with Saab and they now don't want to honor my lifetime warrante. I told them that it's pretty bad when a guy out lives his lifetime warrante.
