[mak1118]

Has anyone that bought this extended warranty used it yet and if so what has your experience been?

There's a member on here that can sell you the Chrysler warranty at a significant discount, I'm sure others will chime in with his name.

I have one, though I've not used it yet. I bought mine from Clay Robbins, clay@zellermotors.com, who is on here I believe. Great guy and excellent pricing. He's an ACR owner, so he's "one of us."

I Had it on a 2500 Ram I owned. Never had a problem with them ,though I did not use it much, used the free rental car service when the truck was in service, and had a "0" deductible on repairs. I don't know if all max cares have a "0" deductible.

[bassplayrr]

The lowest deductible that was available for my '13 GTS was/is $100.

[mak1118]

You can get a no deductible but its quite a bit higher

i have the powertrain only extended warranty, 7 years instead of 5, i didnt see the need for max care, im just anxiously waiting to see the first engine to pop after warranty runs out to see what happens

So what happens if FCA decides to extend every to 10 years? Do all those warranty payments just go to waste? I was told there was a 60 day reversal period... but if the 10 year extension comes 6 months from now..... $1500-$2000 down the drain?

You can cancel your policy and get refunded on the balance.

But I was told it was only within the first 60 days, so what happens 6 months later?

Or just wait to purchase right before standing warranty runs dry

That's what i was thinking... Is there a chance that the warranty extensions will disappear, or drastically go up in price? (more than a few hundred bucks)

For sure the 3rd party ones wont be refunded, but hey think of it as your 2 year extended warranty you paid for was turned into a 5 years -\_(-i-)_/-

The power-train warranty covers @300 components. The Maximum Care plan covers 5000+ parts. The power-train is internal lubricated parts only. You can cancel for a prorated refund.

So a year from now I can cancel for a prorated refund?

While I'm loathe to say what FCA will and won't do a year from now, as it stands today, a warranty can be canceled and refunded on a prorated basis. They will look at the number of miles, and the time left on the warranty to determine what you get back. But, that said, a lot of warranty things aren't as easy today as they were just a few years ago - so buyer beware and try to get it in writing if it isn't already in the warranty terms and conditions.

I can verify with much certainty that if you want to cancel your warranty sometime down the line, you can get a pro-rated refund. They do this all the time when people buy the warranty and then wreck their cars. A totaled car isn't eligible for warranty coverage, and all you need to do is call them and tell them to cancel it. You'll get a refund check in the mail shortly thereafter.

I had the MAX Care on my '08. When I traded it in on my '09 that's exactly what happened. New warranty only cost me $500 on the '09 after refund.

Oh cool, I was thinking about getting the full bumper to bumper (max care?) 8yr/60k mile warranty (so 6 more years) for $1900

DHX...I demanded a free extended warranty from SRT after my engine blew and they gave it to me. Just an FYI....

I actually have a message in to one of the warranty guys at FCA, waiting for a call back, I politely requested that they give me what everyone else has received.

I'm pretty sure the cancelation/prorated refund stuff is law. Every manufacturer does it and they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts.
