I just wanted to let you know that my dad owns a 05 ram and has had the dealer email him about 6 to 9 months later trying to sell him an extended warenty. So I think you should be able to get an extended warrenty at a later time but I'm sure their are som exceptions. We are talking about corporate America here.

 

But you will pay more for the extended warenty, if you buy it after you buy the car
or truck. The best time to buy that is when you buy it, if you can.

 

Was the extended warranty offer from Dodge, or from a third party company?

 

I'm fairly sure it was from dodge. Any how 05's came stock with 2 warrenties: 3 year 36,000 full cover and 7 year 70,000 power train. But mine aint gona hold out much longer anyhow. I'm around 45,000 now.

 

I just got the same extended warranty mailing for my 06 Dakota. It was from Chrysler.

I purchased the 7/70K when I bought, though, so I'm covered.

 

Has anyone on here had any problems with there dakotas. I just bought my 2007 dakota TRX and i love the truck but My fan clutch has already broken my door doesnt close right and i now have a water leak throught the heater core. It's kind of disheartning you know you buy a new truck and it has so many problems. I just want to know if all the dakotas are like that or if i got one made on someones bad day? THnx guys.

 

I'm thinkin you got a bad one, mine's been quite good.

 

You can find Chrysler/Dodge Dealers on the net that will sell you an Official Chrysler warranty for a lot less than your local dealer. Any time before your current warranty expires.

I bought my LHS warranty from a dealer in Iowa [ I live in Ohio] for $1100.00 the same exact package that my dealer wanted $2500.00.

When I asked the guy in Iowa about the difference in price he said if I were in Iowa he would charge me the 2500[so that he doesn't make local dealers mad] but he only makes 200 on out of state deals

 

NOPE mine has a been a good girl!

 

As a practical matter
the only reasonable cost way to try to force a dealership
to honor a warranty
is to go to your local small claims court
without a lawyer.

In most small claims courts the citizen wins more than 70% of the time
especially if you bring good pictures, receipts, etc.

Mag-Moss is a US Federal Law that you have to get in line
at the Federal Courthouse with an experienced lawyer.
Count on minimum expense of $15,000 to $30,000
and more than a years time.
Can you 'succeed' that way to get a vehicle warranty
of less than $15,000 honored?
The majority of the time the Federal judge will NOT order the dealership
to pay your legal costs even if you win.
"Parties pay own costs" occurs most of the time.
The Federal Judge may also be annoyed that you are 'clogging' his court.
