Read your warranty people. Ran a diagnostic on my car the other day after the check engine light

[Floyd R. Turbo]

illuminated. Turns out the ESIM needs replaced. I’m thinking, “no big deal, I have a lifetime full warranty”. WRONG! The warranty contains a clause requiring me to have a powertrain inspection every five years. Even though the vehicle received the manufactures multipoint inspections during routine maintenance, none were dedicated powertrain inspections.

So, it’s going to cost me over $500.00 to install a $40.00 part because I didn’t read or forgot about the inspection clause.

I did contact Chrysler and was told that they would review my situation but the rep said in all honesty they will likely deny responsibility for the repair.

Live and learn!

1. I don't really trust warrantees

As Tom Waits said, the large print giveth, and the fine print taketh away. Good luck though I hope you win your case

4. I feel that way about all insurance. They hire teams of lawyers & experts to craft the exclusion

language. Even if you hired your own lawyer to review every single policy you have, the odds on any of them being able to second guess the loopholes and minefields put in my the insurer is pretty limited.

I have recently heard that electronic damage from the smoke terminating from wildfires may not be covered by car insurance. I've not yet had time to research the validity of that claim, but I'm starting to get really riled.

6. Yep!

2. Most folks don't know "top tier" gas is required by warranty

If they can prove (or reasonably allege) damage was caused by low quality fuel.

Here is link to which gas is ok:

Sorry to hear of your situation.

3. I have always assumed that I have no warranty

When I drive off the lot. It’s just easier than trying to fight with them.

20. Floyd you can do this. Come on everybody root for Floyd.

Floyd! Floyd! Floyd! Floyd! Floyd! We're your support group.
That plastic inner fender should come right out. Most are held in with plastic push pins. Take a screw drive and pop them up, the stay with the fender. Push them in you put the fender back. Replacing the ESIM unit is like changing out a headlight bulb, twist and turn.

I think you should save $500.00 (fuckers) do it yourself then go out and have a nice dinner.

we're here for ya.

Corporate America only cares about money

11. "Read your warranty"? Sadist. n/t

14. Did they explain what all is involved in a dedicated powertrain inspection? I'm curious.

And how much does that cost you. Or do they just raise the car up and take a look, transmission check, driveshaft check, rear differential check, yep, it's all there. That will be $500.00

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. No. Apparently the dealer was obligated to perform the inspection at no cost to the customer. As

I research the issue I’m finding that Chrysler is facing a number of lawsuits relating to the warranty.

[Mosby]

22. It sounds kinda dubious.

Warrantees often say you have to service whatever with them or the warrantee is voided, usually thats not true.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

23. Seems as though, when Chrysler discontinued the life time warranty in 2018 they also began

refusing to honor existing warranties using the five year inspection clause to do so. 🤬

17. insurance is a scam

Car warranties are not written to protect you if your vehicle breaks down, they are there to separate you from your money.

19. Oh no! Say it ain't so! 😨
