I cant believe they even initiated anything like that considering they build garbage. I remeber when Road & Track magazine tested their 300C SRT8 they had to leave the car at a dealership for 6 weeks because the engine blew while sitting at a stop light . pathetic .

Did that moron really say thet consumers want fixed time warranties???? They assult the public with their low rent cars and then they insult your intelligence as well. I wouldnt drive a Chrysler if it was for free.

No disagreeing that Chrysler has built some garbage, I know many people that are more then happy Mopar fans, it's odd cause I would describe Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep as building cars in 2 different factories, the V8 vehicles seem to have a much higher build quality then any of the same vehicles with V6's or smaller engines, just with the 300's, 5.7 & 6.1 Hemi models are pretty reliable and problem free, where the 300's equipped with the 3.5 or 2.7 liter V6 engines just seem like they are completely different cars, way more problems with them.

I probably wouldn't drive a Chrysler product either (though I like the Dodge Challenger's looks), but as far as the warranty is concerned, he's not necessarily a moron. What would YOU prefer......a 5 year, no-nonsense warranty that you could rely on (assuming proper care of the vehicle, of course) or an unlimited one full of loopholes?

I'll take the 5-year one myself. In fact, I usually get a new car every 5 years or so.
