Default Warranty Question

Hopefully there is a Chrysler person on this site that can answer this question.
I just listed my Xfire on Ebay (I'm getting ready to retire and can't afford multiple vehicles and I need my truck).

I have the MaxCare warranty that has another year to run. I do not know how many people owned my Crossfire before me (1 I think) but I was able to transfer the 7/70 powertrain warranty into my name. Can I transfer the 7/70 and MaxCare to whoever purchases my Crossfire?

I am fairly certain that it only goes with the orignal owner and can be transferred once, after that, its over.

Someone feel free to chime in if I am thinking of something different...

Default Re: Warranty Question about a slight paint proglem

Hi Listers. I'veen around the list for 5 months and haven't posted much. I have a very clean 06 Base model coupe. It's black and only has 12.7k mi. I got it for $13.9k back in Nov.

Here's my quiestion on the roff are those 2 strips that go lengthwise front to back. they are soft and about 1/2" wide. A glossy clearcoat part of one of the strips came off on my towel today. It is still under the 3yr 36k warranty. Are these strips replaceable? Or does this happen alot?

Love the great car and chat group on this car.

I had those strips replaced under my 3/36 mile warranty back in 2005. They are covered in the bumper to bumper warranty. But you can be sure they will peel again. Mine did. I just used a little touchup paint and I can't tell.

It says that you can only transfer it once. So according to the contract the buyer would not be able to transfer. BUT I am a 3rd owner of mine and I worked with the service dept. and dealership, and they jumped through some hoops for me to make it happen.

Moral: Anything is possible, so be polite and ask nicely and they should be able to make it happen for ya.

Max Care can transfer to new owner for a fee but the 7/70 ends with you.

Default Re: Warranty Question

the correct answer is that it depends when your 2004 model year Crossfire was manufactured. if built on or after 10/1/2003, and you were the second owner, the warranty no longer applies to subsequent owners. however, if it was built before 10/1/2003, the powertrain warranty transfers automatically, without any costs or paperwork, to any number of subsequent owners, until the 7 years or 70K miles elapse.

from page 9 of the on-line warranty manual (Chrysler only displays the warranty for 10/1/2003 and later Crossfires on its website). but if yours was built on 9/30/2003 or earlier the manual will specify what i have highlighted above.

F. Transfer of Powertrain Warranty For Vehicles
Built On or After 10/1/2003
You can determine if your vehicle was built on or after
10/1/2003 by looking for the bar coded label on the
driver's door frame or door opening. Locate the "MDH"
entry on the label. The 1st two numbers are the month
and the 2nd two numbers are the day. The "DATE OF
MFR" entry shows month and year the vehicle was
built.
To transfer the Powertrain Warranty, you must have
an authorized Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer process a
"Transfer of Coverage Application" for you. The cost
for this service is $150. You pay this fee directly to the
dealer. You must apply for a coverage transfer within 30
days from the date you buy the vehicle.

G. No Coverage to Second Purchaser if
Transfer Fee is Not Paid
If you do not transfer the remainder of the 7 year/
70,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty coverage
and pay the transfer fee, or if you are the third (or
subsequent) owner of the vehicle, the Powertrain
Limited Warranty described in this Section 2.2 does
not apply to you.
