That would be nice. GM's 5yr/100,000 isn't bad either. Maybe if GM changed theirs to 5yr/100k bumper to bumper? But your right they're going to have to do something to compete with the imports. Still not gonna change anything for me, still going after my Camaro

Yeah, I know. But I was just saying that if it weren't for hyunduh and the others I don't think the big 3 would be pushing up their warrantys to this extent. It's gonna be interesting to see what kind of warranty is around for the Camaro come 09.

I would love to hand down my SS to my boy...but, he's got another 14 years to go. So, don't think that's going to happen. Plus, all I see are tickets if he gets something with that much power.
But, yes. I'm planning on keeping it for a VERY long time too. |

This is the car to do it with IMO. Not for money, but because it's part of a new era in Muscle Car history, where efficiency, and quality*, meet Power.
*: the Lifetime Waranty! |

Me and my boyfriend saw a Dodge commercial tonight and it said on the commercial where they are offering the Lifetime Powertrain warranty! We were impressed, none the less, but since we've had so much trouble out of his 2005 Dodge dually, we thought it would have been more handy for us to have had this warranty in 2005 when he got the truck
Lifetime warranty for our Camaro!! Woo!!

I know we have some Dodge people on the board, and I'm usually decently fair about other makers....but I LOL when I put "Dodge" and "reliability" in the same thought string.
Unless they have made monstrous improvements lately, I don't see how they're gonna stay in the green, especially when it domes to transmissions...IMO Dodge's weak link. Ford has crap electronics, Chevy has weak interiors/rear ends, Dodge has crap trannies/poor quality mechanics. Just how I view the big-3. It's completely biased, and barely based on fact. /disclaimer. |

I read your disclaimer, but I have to say...I've got a 1995 Dodge Grand Caravan. And if it wasn't for the rust all over, it'd ride and look like a brand new Van...

With all the Dakotas I've had, I've never had a problem with them . . . though till now, I've never held onto one long enough to test the theory on the bad transmissions.

This would be awesome to have on GM products. The key here to Chrysler being able to offer this is that the 'lifetime' warranty is non transferrable. Most people who can afford to buy a brand new car put themselves in a position to buy another brand new car within 5-7 years, if not sooner. It's the 2nd and 3rd owners that would benefit from this and the warranty will not apply to them.
The small population of new vehicles that are retained by their original owners for 10+ years would most likely be well maintained with low mileage. These vehicles would probably never require an engine, transmission or differential. With all that said, it still would be pretty cool to have on GM products. Imagine blowing up the motor in your 2009 Camaro in the year 2030 and bringing it back to the dealership for a warranty replacement!!! |
