Default gotta love chrysler

got my truck a month ago, and really love it. i get a letter in the mail from chrysler saying i have to give them $150 to keep my 7/70 warranty. WTF is this all about. the dealer told me when a bought it, that the truck had the warranty. so now i have 2 weeks to send them the cash, or the truck only has the 3/36! ready to ring someones neck over this one

I think it covers the bumper-to-bumper part. The powertrain is covered by the 7/70.

Did you buy the truck new? If so there should be no cost for the 7/70 powertrain warranty. If you bought it used there may be a fee for transfering the warranty.

Did they offer the 7/70 bumper to bumper when you bought it? They should have, if not, thats what it is. It covers almost everything in the truck.

The after sale 7/70 bumper2bumper was more expensive than that. I thought.

Mine was 1300 @ singing. It sounds like the truck was bought used and thats to keep the 7/70000 drivetrain.

I didn't get that letter. Isn't it in your contract about 7/70

i did buy it used with 13000 miles on it. the dealer sold it to me with the 7/70 powertrain warranty. now i get off the phone with the dealer and he has no clue of this fee to transfer it. i have to go there on wed to get this fixed. bottom line, they sold me a truck with the warranty, and they didn't transfer it. i asked before i even signed papers if it had the 7/70 powertrain.

A little off topic but does anyone know if Dodge will offer the extended warranty right before your current warranty expires? I know Ford did when I bought my Mustang, and it was almost half the price of when I bought the car. I believe the only difference is that if you purchase it after you buy the car/truck, you have to pay cash as opposed to tacking it on your car payment.
