Chrysler Introduces New Lifetime Powertrain Warranty

Chrysler Introduces New Lifetime Powertrain WarrantyNEW YORK (August 3, 2007) - Chrysler recently announced that it would extend its powertrain warranty from the three-year/36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty to a new Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty applies to most new Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles purchased from dealer inventory and delivered on or after July 26, 2007. The Lifetime Powertrain Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components - engine, transmission and drive system. The new powertrain warranty is limited to the first registered owner or retail lessee. Customers should contact dealers for details on vehicle selection. To continue warranty coverage, the owner must have a powertrain inspection performed by an authorized Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealer once every five years. This inspection will be performed at no charge. The inspection must be made within 60 days of each five-year anniversary of the warranty start date of the vehicle. "The new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty underscores our focus on quality and customer satisfaction," says Steven Landry, executive vice president for Chrysler's Sales and Marketing, North America. "It's peace-of-mind reassurance for as long as they own the vehicle. That's why we put 'lifetime' on it."(Source: DaimlerChrysler)
