I am at unfortunately at 101,000 and some change. :-(
I don't recall the 100, 000 catalytic converter coverage, however.
I guess I should call the Chrysler Rep.
PS: Since posting here last...I've become suspicious of the dealer conclusion that I need to replace the cats. They actually said that is the first step before they determine why all four O2 sensors are reporting error codes.
Sounds backwards. The cats are more expensive than the 02 sensors...even if I replace all of them! Don't understand why they can't diagnose the 02 sensors on a bench or something. At least see if they are working correctly.
In addition. I took the car to an independant (non-Chrysler shop) They say the cats are not "leaking" or "coming apart" as the Chrysler dealer says. They put it in writing as well.
No charge.
Going to a third shop that specializes in exhausts and getting a "pre-test" at smog shop this weekend.
I'll see what those two have to say.
Yikes !
