I called Chryslers extended warranty at 1-800-521-9922. They would not confirm or deny if EGE realted parts are covered. They said ask the dealer. So if they administer the plan how can they not know?????

Has any one been able to have EGR issues fixed under Chrysler Maint Plan??????

Asked them about the mystery 100k diesel engine warranty that has been mentioned here also, they say its not true???

FYI they said the computer and cat converter are covered 8/80.

I recieved the pamphlet from Jeep regarding buying the extended warranty package. They offered the basic plan and then the other that says 5007 reason to buy the major plan. I called regarding the basic covering the EGR system and was told that this plan does not cover EGR. However, the 5007 reason plan will cover EGR. I looked at a plan with Warranty Direct and they offer a wrap around plan that covers you for the 7/70000 for a little over $900.00 and includes the EGR system. I had called them and was specific to ask this and the response was that it was coverered at an additional cost. This cost is what brought it to the $900.00 price. I had asked in an earlier post if anyone was familiar with this plan and as yet no response.

Seems like most of us are looking at chryslerwarrantys.com or warrantydirect.com for extended packages. The latter specifically lists the egr valve if you purchase the emissions coverage. I'm putting 30K+ miles/yr on my CRD, so the 5yr/100K package is the only one that makes sense to consider (I'll have 100K in ~2 more yrs). However, the $2230 price tag is causing me heartburn. Has anybody found something less expensive??

That does seem steep but in line with the stuff I'm getting in the mail. I got 7yr/100K b2b when I purchased the Jeep for @ $1100. I guess this is like trying to buy life insurance. It's much cheaper while you're young and healthy than when you're over 45, overweight, and known to have a heart condition. At $2300, if you have an '05 with a 7/70 powertrain warranty, I would risk cashing-out a major repair. If your transmission is going to fail, it will probably be before 70K miles and you can do several EGR's for $2300. Also have a weird feeling DC will eventually end up making some warranty concessions to save face if they expect to sell any more diesel in this market.

This is the route I'm taking as I was unable to determine what warranty they were trying to sell me at the dealership. They had dropped the price all the way to $890 for me, but would not confirm if it was the 7/100 b2b or not - which told me it was not - so I walked out with no extended warranty.

I figure for $2300 I can do a good 2 EGR valves and 2 EGR air flow control valves on my own and with the 7/70 powertrain, I'm sure to get a rebuilt or new transmission in that time due to the substandard front transmission pump in the 545RFE (redesigned for MY 2007 vehicles).
