When I pick up my xfire tonight if completed I'll look at the work order I have to sign for warranty purposes. This work order goes to Chrysler for reimbursement and has the total cost of repair on it. My copy will not.
I'll post the cost here.
I was thinking the same thing on how widespread is this issue. I searched this site to see what others were saying and I found a lot of posts talking about this. Several said to do nothing. I almost did just that as I have a strange feeling this is not going to get done correctly the first time.
I decided to "get ere done..." because I have a lifetime maxcare warranty on the car and I still have a year left on my 36 month warranty and has the lifetime powertrain warranty. I think I'm covered with all this.
I never buy extended warranties but could not pass the extended lifetime maxcare that was offered to me. $1,100.00. The service contract has 999,999 miles on it.
I purchased a 2006 roadster new in 2008 off of Ebay from a dealer in NC. My immediate concern was that the car had sat for 2 years. I got the car with 16 miles on it for 1/2 price and the added insurance cost of the maxcare lets me sleep at night.
This is the first time the car has been into the shop other than oil changes. My hope is that I can pass the car down to my son one day. Not too soon, lol.
