Lifetime Powertrain Waranty....from Chrysler?!!? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

That would be great, but I'm sure they'd have some kind of fine microscopic print to cover just that. But it would be nice if GM jumped on board too. So let's see the break down here: Chrysler now has Lifetime Powertrain warranty, GM still up there with 5yr/100k, Ford (snicker) 6yr/60k.
Now like I mentioned before . . . or I think I did

if GM didn't want to go the Lifetime PT, then boost theirs to a 10?yr/100k bumper to bumper. This is going to be interesting to see what Ford comes up with and GM'll be bound to top it. We could actually wind up making out like bandits by the time 09 gets here.

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!!![/QUOTE]

Hehe merf, have had my 04 ram for awhile and no problems as yet (just changed plugs yesterday infact). My dad owned a 96 ram that ran for over 250k before my brother traded it in for an 06. my dad baught his 03 (hemi) and has had a few problems but they all arose because it sat in a garage for a year (deployment to bagdad). My brothers 06 is like mine, no problem. Yes there are a few issues surrounding them but not enough to warrant not buying a dodge.

Like pretty much all cars out there (YES EVEN IMPORTS) if you take care of them they last.

Back on topic, Im glad domestic brands are steping up to the plate with the warranties, especially after these new introductions of 5+ year warranties. Its finaly good to have a warranty that lasts longer than the average loan on a vehicle.

Every person I know who bought a durango from a dealer (about 14) has had their transmission go out on them before 30k miles. They driving style ranges from old folks to brand new licensed drivers. I'm glad their stepping up and saying, "we know our product sucks, but we'll fix it anytime anywhere." That puts confidence into the buyers. I might buy one as a beater and save my camaro for special occasions.

Either you'd get an LS24

, or some new electric-sports motor....

the EM-5 (electric motor)...

Regardless, it would be very nice to have that kind of coverage on my new Camaro.

where i work really tests a truck to its limits, i have a 2000 chev silverado and its almost dead. the average life span of a chev in the oilfield in canada is 4-6 years so im not doing so bad. but the average life span of a dodge is 2-3, we have 2006 doge rams that are going through "majors" which means the entire powertrain, suspension, etc. has to be replaced.

I was watching TV last night and saw a chrysler commercial. and it said that they not only produced the first muscle car, but they are offering a lifetime powertrain warranty! thats insane, for people who dont care about modding they're car (and there are a lot of em out there). I wonder what the catch is!:(

The_Stache · 08-15-2007, 01:35 PM

This was discussed already here

thread

Oh and the catch is that you have to have the drive train inspected every 5 years and it only applies to the buyer of a new car (non transferable with used vehicles)

this sucks military sucks up all my time. I find something out and post it, just to find out its old news :(

SSMUFF · 08-16-2007, 04:16 PM

Well I haven't had any problems yet on my 04 Jeep. Maybe the transmissions are different in the Jeeps vs Dodge.
