Default Courtesy Cars from Dealer

I was wondering what kind of courtesy cars people have received from their dealers when they take their car in for warranty repairs?

You are entitled to a courtesy car when your Crossfire is in the shop for repairs. Customers of premium Chrysler vehicles are eligible. If your dealer told you to take the bus or call a friend, then I recommend you find another dealer.

I will be when it goings in later. The thing is they must be doing warranty work or you will not get one.

I received service contract from Chrysler (at no cost) which requires the dealer to provide a car, free, for the duration of the warranty, to include oil changes. I keep it in the car with the manual. As an aside, both the Crossfire and Pacifica are listed as covered cars.

The one time I needed a car the dealer was our of "premium" cars, so they gave me a new Dodge Stratus. It was OK for a couple days.

Cars never been back for service so I wouldn't know. It definitely qualifies for a car as per Chryslers notification of this premium car policy but the car has required nothing yet, so I haven't needed a loaner. First oil change will be coming up but that's a do it while I wait.

The dealer I use for service has an arrangement with Enterprise. Twice I received a Dodge Durango, and when I asked for something smaller the last time, I received a Jeep Liberty.

My dealership said, all they could offer me was an 05' sebring and they had my car for 4 weeks.

I would of preferred a nice rubicon or a roadster.

Got a 2000 Town & Country with 135,000 miles on it! It was actually in great shape, but seemed like a whale after driving the Crossfire. The Crossfire was in for the radiator hose recall. Been waiting 2 months for a new latch assy. for the rear hatch TSB. The squeaking is driving me nuts!

You have any info on that TSB? My hatch was tight and the bump stops wore through the paint and all they did was adjust the thing what the latch attaches to.

So you guys that have received other Crossfires or the 300C did you have to ask for them or did the dealership just give it to you? I received a 1996 Cavalier and it had no gas, so I complained and they gave me a Magnum. I couldn’t believe they had the guts to give me a 1996 cavalier like that would be acceptable.
