At 44,000 miles, my 2nd EGR valve just gave up the ghost. Dealer says this one will not be covered under warranty as it is an emissions issue which is only a 36 month/36000 mile warranty. Anybody else have the same experience? Any options? |

I thought emissions parts were covered for 80k? |

I think the emission controls for cars and trucks fall under seperate warranty laws if you check in your manual it should have a seperate listing for such items. On a previous car I owned they were covered under a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty and a few certain items were covered even longer as mandated by federal law. Check your manual hope this helps. |

I've been doing some checking and it seems the EGR valve is only covered under the 36 month/36000 mile Emissions Warranty. I had one replace under warranty at around 16K and no real problems other than the occasional 55-60mph shudder. Now I am really bummed out. I really liked this vehicle but spending $450 every 16-18K miles to replace faulty EGR valves has me seriously thinking about dumping it. |

Mine is covered under the extended warranty for the full 7/70,000 along with the computers and electrics that are on the same 3/36,000. For the price and getting a free loaner everytime I needed one to get around if DC had the rig, I thought it was a good deal. I've gotten my money's worth almost now with loaner rentals alone. |

EGR is not covered under seperate warranty guidelines from other EPA stuff, all the seperate systems have different coverage to some degree. I looked it up on EPA website and it stated 12,000 miles or what mfg determined beyond length 12,000 miles or in case of the B to B warranty to that time/mileage. In otherwords on standard OEM warranty for the CRD it is 36/36,000 is all, I had thought it was 50,000 also and looked it up and my local SM was correct when he said 36/36,000 for warranty of EGR. Another reason for ORM before it fails in open position. |

Can you ORM, then hook it back up when you need service/inspection? |

Maybe its time to start a class action lawsuit to make them cover this? |

Is this the cause of my CRD occasionally stalling or lurching after the first start in the morning? |

Did anyone ever check on the details of this press release regarding the claim that DC was extending the warranty on the '06 CRD to 5 years or 100K? http://wwwsg.daimlerchrysler.com/SD7DEV ... 0,00.html# Since official press release, at least a lawyer or two could have fun holding DC's feet to the fire! |

Look at that press release wording carefully: Quote: Chrysler Group is extending the warranty on diesel engines in all 2006 model year vehicles; the Diesel Engine Limited Warranty covers engine parts and components up to five years or 100,000 miles.
I suspect that means the engine only, with DC determining what engine means... as in excluding items that may be attached to the engine, such as electrical parts and sensors, egr/afc valves, water hoses and non engine parts. A good way to see what isn't covered under engine warranty is to look at Chrysler's MaxCare warranty for all the extra parts they cover. Interesting read. |
