Replying to: faschulz (Mar 04, 2009 6:20 am) When buying of a new car (or a used one as well) the buyer is at a huge disadvantage. The art of selling is very detailed, and a good sales person has an answer for everything you ask or objection you make. These salespersons are in constant training. The web they weave is strong and it has trapped people who who thought they were very sharp to salespersons tricks. I hope you are able to get the vehicle you want. farout |

I know it doesn't have to do with the transmission (yet at least), but I have a question about the warranty. I'm pretty serious about buying an '07 Pacifica FWD Touring. It has 20k miles on it. It's not "certified used". 1. Did Chryster have a 3yr/36,000 mile warranty or a 7yr/70,000 mile warranty in 2007? 2. With either, do they transfer to a new owner? 3. For the Max care plan, does anyone know where I can find actual prices, or do I have to get those from the dealer? EDIT: The dealer sticker only shows a 3 month/3,000 mile warranty. That's the reason I'm asking about the factory warranty. |

Replying to: psycho_sam_1 (Mar 05, 2009 9:45 am) I just purchased a maxcare warranty from this on-line site. They are from Golick chrysler in Pennsylvania. Before I purchased, I contacted Chrysler to see if they are an actual dealer and indeed they are. I paid 1715.00 for the life time warranty since I am stuck with this car for a long time. The price they advertise is for a vehicle with less than 12/12000. I paid 1715.00 because I am way over that but within the 36/36000. Another thing, the day after I purchased the warranty, my information was added to my account information in the Chrysler Financial website. When I click on warranty information, my maxcare was listed. Hope this helps.

Replying to: psycho_sam_1 (Mar 05, 2009 9:45 am) You can go the 1800 992 1997 and select the one for service conyracts. they have a paynebt plan for 0% interest on the service contracts, you do have to push to get it. My lifetime Max Care $ 100. ded. was $2500. and payments over 36 months. The prices I think are up. But that is bumper to bumper. I always get the Service Contract (extended warranty) If there is one bad vehicle in a lot of 100,000 I can pick it! So I buy the warramties. I have most always got my money back in repairs. But I go to a dealer who really helps me out a bunch. farout |

Is anybody having any problems with front end nosies, like feeling and hearing every little bump in the road??? The sound is espeically coming from the right side. The dealership claims that everything is OK. Can I take this and have it fixed somewhere else? I have the lifetime warranty on it. Also, I have taken it back in for transmission problems 3 or 4 times. They replaced the torque converter, motor mounts, reprogrammed it. This makes me sick. I wish that I had never bought this car!!!!!

Replying to: d08 (Mar 06, 2009 4:59 pm) First if you bought the PAC new, and the PAC has less than 36,000 miles there is a good chance you can get a buy back. 2nd. If you have the tickets from when you went in for these problems your case gets stronger. If you have for a fact been 3 times (for is even better) for transmission issues that increases your case. 3rd, Have you gone only to the selling dealer for service? If you hopped about to several dealers this makes it harder to prove, but if you have the service tickets this too will work, Call the selling dealers Service manager, tell him or her, the problems and what has been dome. Tell him you want the Zone Rep to come and meet with you and the Service Manager that you want a buy back. Now call the owner or manager of the selling dealer, tell him that tou have talked with the Service manager and requested the Zone Rep to come and you would like a buy back, as him to follow up and make sure the Zone rep is contacted and is coming. Now call 800 992 1997 and tell then you want a buy back and tell them your issues and dates you have taken the PAC in for these problems. Someone will contact you in about two or three weeks. However call the Service manager every friday and ask what he has heard. Be polite, kind and do not loose your temper! If you blow off and loose your temper you have just about ended much help from the dealer, which you really need! If you bought your pAC used there is NOTHING that can be done except by the dealer as acustomer relations good will. We started our buy back on Feb 16, 2007 and we were totally done by April 4, 07, and the complete paper work was done by May 3, 07. If you don't have thenrepair tickets, you must get them from the dealership you took it to, one fro everytime, if not there is little hope. Hope this helps. farout

Replying to: d08 (Mar 07, 2009 4:26 pm) Personally, I would work for them to replace your Pac with a 2008 PAC. Or have them fix yours even if they had to replace the transmission. These are very well built vehicles and very high on the safety ratings. I too have had the motor mounts replaced, and the Torque Converter replaced and several reflashes. I consider these minor problems considering the PAC has a Lifetime warranty on the powertrain. I added the Max care Service contract so our PAC is just about bumper to bumper for a very long time. That's my oiinion. farout
