Default Warranty dropped for 2010

Chrysler just announced this evening that they are dropping their "lifetime powertrain warranty" throughout their entire product portfolio. To be replaced with a five year bumper to bumper/100K.

It was just marketing anyway. No big deal.

That's because their crappy workmanship is getting the best of them.

I would hope those that are waiting for their "born on date" will be covered. Chrysler's excuse was that of "confusion" by the purchase and second hand sale as to the "lifetime while you own" the vehicle coverage.

Makes leasing more attractive again - the warranty goes with the vehicle once the lease is done.

Not surprised with all the tranny/engine problems.
