Default Chrysler cuts powertrain warranty to 5 years
I wonder if this is going to be going forward or if they are somehow going to get out of the unlimited power train warranty somehow with Obama. I would assume when you purchased your vehicle it was a contract between buyer and seller but....

The last sentence in the article:

Notice also that the 5yr/100,000mile is transferrable to a new owner unlike the Lifetime.

I paid $1000 for a 7 year B2B plus have the lifetime powertrain on my 2009. I still like that deal better.
