First GM, now Chrysler. Powertrain warranties are cut, because they hate you.

of all the reasons not to buy a crappler product this is just another.

well any of the fail 3.

why is that guy lumping hyundai in?

they make a better product year after year.

They used to make complete crap. It seems they are making better cars now but how they will fare long term remains to be seen.
 
Exactly. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Hyundai these days. They used their gimmicky warranty to get people back in the showroom but backed it up with a quality product. I'd argue GM isn't far behind. Fiat on the other hand.....

And I disagree with the statement about warranty having no correlation to quality. If you produce a quality product offering a long warranty is basically a low cost way of marketing. If you have to offer a long warranty to peddle your crap you'll be losing money quick.....

Exactly this. No company is going to design a crappy product that's only going to last until the last car loan payment is made, then put a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty on the drive train.

When I bought my 2009 Sonata, I paid an extra $1700, and extended the factory bumper to bumper warranty out to match the drive train warranty. Bonus, it was transferable to a family member, so last year, once it was paid off, I drove it up to my sister's, and handed her the keys. She got a not quite 5 year old car, with 35,000 miles on it, and over 5 years left on the bumper to bumper warranty. :thumbsup:
 
You'd have to drive over 12K miles a year for it to matter. From what I read, 12K is a bit above average for most GM buyers.
