The 7/70 Protection plan has long since ran out.......
More like 23/100 warranty.....
Chrysler didnt realize how long these could go with as little repair as they have needed....
Aside for the inevitable head gasket failure,not much else were major trouble areas.
The 3spd automatic was rock solid,the electronics basic,no frills,nothing not already tried and true..
Had they had the gonads to try it,they could have easily offered a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty (with a $100 deductable) and absolutely stole the thunder from the competition.
GM years later went to a 10/100K powertrain warranty as a marketing ploy....
Chrysler even dabbled in a Lifetime powertrain warranty.....when it was in deep trouble.
However with the simple Ks,their minds would have been at ease,because they would never had gotten into trouble offering that kind of coverage on those cars.
To me,when the warranty is over,the car isnt Late Model anymore.
Its just another Used/older car.
