Chrysler

Too bad, I had 3 of them and they gave me great service. I got rid of them at around 100k miles and they ran great.

I never had one in for anything then entire time I owned them.

My 2005 300 has been great also.

My '90 Grand Caravan's "A-604 ULTRAGLIDE" 4-speed, electronically-controlled automatic transmission bit the dust the first time at 35,000 miles; again at 69,000 miles, and again at 135,000 miles.

That transmission had given owners so much grief since being introduced in 1989, that Chrysler, at that time, had a 70,000-mile, 7-year warranty on it.... so, they fixed the transmission under warranty (free) the first two times.

The next one ($2,000.00- worth) was gonna be on me.

I told the prospective buyer exactly what was wrong with it, and sold it for $1,000.00.

I'll stick with 904's, thank you...

Let's not throw on the gloves just yet.... The person at Chrysler is correct.You bought the vehicle used from a broker and didn't apply for any extended warranty.That's their fault?? The 7/70 warranty was not on all 2002 vehicles,it went into effect around April or May of 2002 and it wasn't transfered to used vehicles.The vehicle is 5 years old,and the warranty is 3/36....not sure what the problem is.Granted the converter failing at 59K is very unusual,but man made parts do fail.It doesn't help your situation though.

BTW...I have a '02 Ram with 98K,no problems with it at all,1999 Jeep with 112K,again no problems with it either.Have had several other Chrysler products bought new and used,repeating again,no problems with them.I would buy a Chrysler product again with no hesitation.
