Chrysler cuts 7/70K warranty

[aswedc]

In fact GM covers wear items such as tires and rotors.

I don't know about rotors, but any new car is going to come with a tire warranty. Average maybe 4 years?

Well to add to the list, when we purchased our Honda Civic EX in 2001 the warranty was:

3yr/50,000mi for everything...except

5yr for body panel rust

7yr for selected components of the emissions systems including fuel tank and EGR valve among other things.

Lifetime: muffler as long as original owner owns the vehicle

No additional powertrain warranty of any kind.

edit....wow bad spelling.

Interestingly for me it is a huge selling point. When I bought my 00 maxima at 37k it had only powertrain left and I was comfortable knowing that I had 23k more miles coverage of the most expensive part of the vehicle. Save freak accidents, there's nothing on a vehicle other than drivetrain that can really cost you tons of money. For me it's a huge thing.

Covering wear on items like tires and rotors is not bad for the 36k, but I'd take powertrain over that any day.

From what I've heard, a lot of car owners figure that they can skip maintenance because the warranty will bail them out if they have trouble, but that's not how it works.

As an aside, what do you need to maintain in terms of records for maintenance that you do yourself in the garage? Will receipts satisfy the warranty claim, as long as you're doing the recommended maintenance?

Tell that to people that own toyotas and the engine went bad in.

Toyota and THEIR long warrenty

A warrenty is only as good as the company standing behind it.
