Are you still under a warranty?

Sir Sam · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 4:44 pm

And I guess post details. How much longer you are under it, etc. Anything you feel is relevant.

Nope, All levels of Factory warranty expired or exceeded the mileage limits. Just turned over 100,000 miles

ATXKJ · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 6:19 pm

I have about 5K left on the extended 100k warranty

SmokinJoe · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 6:25 pm

Yes...Third party CarMax Warranty...11K left.

What good is the warranty if no one can competently work on your CRD?

bhc04 · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2011 9:12 pm

2006 CRD, Chysler extended warranty to Feb. 2014 or 125k miles, currently at 66k. Plan on selling it this year when 2012 Wrangler Unlimited's hit the street. Anyone interested in buying it now? Original owner here, all maint. done at dealership. Liberty Limited, 4x4, auto trans, sunroof, no wrecks, loaded, new 235x70x16 Khumo's, located in Bullhead City, AZ. Very light off road use.

Since Seal Team Six and the CIA got Bin Laden, there is hope someone who does not do their own work can find a good repair shop. Perhaps these shops who have done major CRD diesel related work well, should be posted in a sticky. The list should not include the places that changed oil or air filters with out blowing up the engine. You may think I am making a jab, but we have seen many cases of Dealers and Shops that could not even change a fuel filter with out a come back.
Finding a good dealer on the other hand to work on a CRD for anything beyond the Chrysler Diagnostic Flow Charts used for justifying warranty work may take the CIA or comparable private contractor. :ROTFL:

No more warranty means: Basic knowledge & DIY attitude + LOST support & Nice mods = Happy CRD :pepper:

When my extended warranty ended, I ended my ownership of the jeep.

18 months and 20K miles to go on DCJ 7/100 ESP. We have already recovered three times the cost of the warranty in repairs (inc $3500 for two rebuilds of the rear diff/lsd). I am not sure we will keep it for long after the warranty expires, but if no similarly capable vehicle materializes in a couple years, we may end up just fixing it out of pocket. It will probably be less than $300 a month, on average, for repairs.

LOL, I can take guesses and still have thousands in my pocket and my CRD in my own garage, instead of some dealers waiting for an answer or a part, plus all the repeat trips back to fix the new problem they created my time is worth more then that. Ask Woodtick about his TC warranty? After all, it is the fault of the aging acid headed hippies that have caused us our problems. :ROTFL:

Patience and persistance.

They'll eventually figure it out

just never expect it to be right the first time.

(I've trained several mechanics.)

6 months or 14000kms left on my warrantee, hope to get the shuddering TC replaced. Only problem is it does not always shudder and is hard to re-create as evidence to the Dealer.

Bought this one at 74K. Now at 100K. Haven't had warranty since the day after I bought it. (Used car dealership DID cover the $500 CAC hose failure 400 miles after I bought the Jeep thankfully).

Been wrenching on this thing monthly since I got it. Keep thinking it's going to eventually line itself out and just be driveable, but no such luck. Last week it was a dead rear gate switch. This week it's vibration that's getting worse and I've been chasing it for months. Who knows what it'll be next week. Did I mention the tranny occasionally takes a few moments to build up enough pressure to operate? Last week I was just backing out of the driveway and it stalled and caused my son to hit his face on the steering wheel (he was "helping" me drive).

The ONLY thing on this Jeep that has been rock solid is the engine. Interestingly, that engine is the only reason I own this Jeep in the first place. So I'm going to hold onto it for a little longer because of that alone...but the CRD's days are slowly being numbered.

I keep hoping that Jeep will drop the CRD into the Wrangler or perhaps a Jeep pickup and give me an excuse to trade this thing off...we'll see what 2012 holds.

Mine was a 2006 that came with 3 year/36,000 mile that was up by over 1000 miles. The first owner did not buy an extended so there was nothing for me to transfier. I left the lot the day I bought mine with only the dealer's standard used warranty which was 1 month/1000 mile bumper to bumper and 6 month/7,500 mile powertrain. I had mine back with in a week for a computer programing issue that didn't let some features work correctly and that was the only time its been in the dealer for work since I owned it. the only repair other than maintance I have paid for was thermostat and cooling flush.

LibertyCRD: Check your front tires for cupping around the entire circumferance of the tire tread. Mine was doing the same thing, the tires are BADLY cupped b/c of a bad set of original struts (after 108k). The vibration and sound is terribly loud.

Have you ever had to use your warranty? If so, how good was Chrysler about it and what did you have done? I got the lifetime warranty on my KK and just want to know if I got to fight with every claim that I have.

BlackLibertyCRD · **Posted:** Tue May 10, 2011 12:42 am

Both factory and third party warranty expired on mine. At 100k now.

RAF 3829 · **Posted:** Thu May 12, 2011 5:57 am

Factory warranty ran out yesterday @ 70K.

no real point in having the warranty when no dealer in my area is educated enough to fix it. :banghead:

it's a good thing the heavy line techs at my shop can fix anything with pistons :lol:

Are you still under a warranty?
