I bought the car used and found receipt in the glove box where the transmission had been rebuilt a few months before I bought it at a national transmission shop, and in about a year had to have the transmission rebuilt about 1300 dollars to a regional transmission shop, then at almost exactly one week after the 1 yr 12000 mile warranty ran out it seized up while on the highway, just started jerking and the check engine light came on and I barely got it home. Hubby said take it to that national transmission shop, get it rebuilt and buy the lifetime warranty. 2200 dollars including warranty. Done. Took it in every year faithfully to have it checked to keep the warranty people happy. Three years later it seized up on the freeway on the way to work, I thought no problem, I have the LIFETIME warranty. Get it towed to the shop and they start asking where the paperwork (RO's) are. What? Everytime I took it in I was told there were no receipts given for warranty work. Well they finally rebuilt it again under warranty, but I think the shop had to eat the expense because the shop where the warranty had been purchased was gone.
I love this vehicle, it is absolutely the most comfortable thing I have ever driven. It's been to California and back from Texas twice since I've owned it. But I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone I love, and I most likely will not purchase a Dodge product ever again. It has also had many many A/C problems.
