The differential went out at 43,000 miles. I had it repaired.
The transmission went out at 52,000 miles. I had it repaired.
The differential went out again at 57,000 miles. Dodge said, "Sorry! You are out of warranty."
The new car warranty expired at 36,000 miles, but Chrysler donated new parts as a courtesy. I had to pay the labor.
The transmission was over $1,200 to repair.
This latest fiasco is estimated at $1,100+. Chrysler says that since they already contributed to the first repair as a courtesy, that I will have to pay the entire bill myself.
I don't tow anything or abuse/misuse the truck in any possible way. Two rear ends and a transmission gone in a total of 57,000 miles sounds like a poor design to me. Chrysler should take full responsibility for this.
I don't know where you live, but in California if there is an ongoing problem with your car that was covered by warranty at the time it expired, it is still covered until fixed. I'd check your laws...
