I certainly hope this sparks some sales!]]>Jul 26th 2007 12:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 26th 2007 2:08PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 29th 2007 7:11PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
What good is a Lifetime warranty that doesn't transfer to the second owner of the P.O.S?

We all know that nobody, in America, drives the same car for more than 5 years. Besides, as soon as hybrid, electric and any other enviromentally friendly technologies catch on, nobody's gonna want a gas guzzling Chrysler anyway.

Sounds like a desperate marketing gimmic to keep oil companies in style for another 20 years, to yours truly. Plus, how long do you think it'll be before every other car manufacturer jumps on the "too good to be true" warranty bandwagon? Remember "Employee Discounts for everyone," anyone?

Last question. If these engineers are so good that their designs don't fail, why are they so slow to adopt efficient technology?

I doubt that this Lifetime Warranty has anything to do with the actual quality of the vehicle. My '03 PT Cruiser has had thousands of dollars of issues, and the dealer hasn't tied any of them to the powertrain. So if your power trains are so good, why don't you focus on the rest of the vehicle already?]]>Aug 15th 2007 7:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
Chrysberus is coming out swinging. Top that Ford, GM Honda, Toyota.....

Still, you need to de-uglify the Sebring.]]>Jul 26th 2007 11:44AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/

No thank you Chrysler, I'm not that interested in seeing your dealership every few months for repairs. I'll take my GM or Toyota and see the dealer maybe every few years...]]>Jul 26th 2007 1:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 26th 2007 11:45AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 26th 2007 11:49AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Aug 1st 2007 10:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Ford turns first profit in 7 quarters...
Now this...

All I can say is, go Detroit!]]>Jul 26th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
Four months does not a trend make--not against the backdrop of decades of erosion. This is all good news, but all it means is that the patient is off critical life support. He's still in hospital, still needs serious medical attention and certainly isn't out of the woods yet.]]>Jul 26th 2007 12:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 26th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
This warrenty would be great for me. I own two cars now, both 2001 models, bought new, one with 112,000 miles and one with only 68,000. It would be great if these 6 year old cars were still under warrenty.

That said, I have never had a single problem with either car's drivetrain, so maybe its a non issue. (Both GM cars)]]>Jul 26th 2007 1:58PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Jul 26th 2007 2:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/Reason being- if you can afford a new car at some point, 5 years later you can probably afford a NEW new car with a new style that you really want.
But yeah- very bold move- as pickup trucks are a different story. Someone who actually uses a truck generally doesn't care how old it is as long as it gets the job done. I would seriously consider shelling out $40k for a custom-ordered Dodge diesel 2500 with that kind of assurance. (way overkill for my needs, and double the cost of my current truck- but I don't have to worry about breaking it!)]]>Jul 26th 2007 10:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
Bold Move indeed. I'm a Honda driver for life, but hats off the the Ram guys.]]>Jul 26th 2007 8:47PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/26/breaking-chrysler-announces-lifetime-powertrain-warranty/
Speaking of "I'm not a lawyer," did anyone watch the daily show a couple nights ago and see Jon Stewart playing clips of Bush and his advisers saying "I'm not an expert," and "I'm not a scientist," and "I'm not a lawyer?" It was good for a long ROFL.]]>Jul 27th 2007 11:19AM
