Replying to: d08 (Mar 08, 2009 3:52 pm) If you intend to keep the car past 36,000 I would get a Chrysler Service Contract. I got the max care $100 ded. one. But that is something to seriously consider. There is a 36 month no interest deal on these too. as for the Jan. ref;ash, I don't know, I see if I can check it out. farour |

Replying to: Biggd1999 (Mar 10, 2009 12:34 pm) I have heard of some past the Dec 06 date being replaced. Are you having shudder issues at 1500 to 2000 rpm in 6th gear? Heck with the lifetime powertarin warranty (if you bought it new) what more can we want. It will be fixed. How many miles on yours, you do have the 4.L engine and 6 speed auto right? farout

Replying to: psycho_sam_1 (Mar 06, 2009 11:09 am) I have never lost money on a extended warranty yet. Frankly I would be pleased if I never ever used it.... it would be a perfect vehicle......just not my luck. farout |

Replying to: farout (Mar 10, 2009 12:41 pm) I am just curious, those who had the TC replaced, did your cars vibrate harshly when sitting still in park or at a stop light while in gear with your foot on the brake? Mine does and if I rev it just a little bit the vibration goes away. The dealer blamed it on the motor mounts and have replaced them at least 3 times now.

Replying to: Biggd1999 (Mar 10, 2009 2:17 pm) I had the TC replaced and that helped, but not as much as I had thought it would. The TSB reflashes did help over time. I did have both motor mounts replaced last week and a tire rod and a stabilizer rod. We hit a pot hole and broke to stabilizer rod in half. The dealer fixed it under 36,000 mile warrant. I have a great dealer. I expect some things to go wrong, and i try to handle it with patients and a smile. That doesn;t always come natural! At idle once in a while it seems a minor bit jumpy and smooths out in about 30 seconds. Hope this helps is some small way. farout

Replying to: farout (Mar 10, 2009 2:46 pm) Mine constantly vibrates. Just after I got it we took it to Florida from Michigan and it was a dream there and back. The vibration just got worse over time and that's when they replaced the mounts and that solved about 80% of the vibration in it. I am a perfectionist, so to me the little vibration that it has is unacceptable. Heck, my '07 Hemi Durango idles smoother than the Pac. Since you basically have the same exact car I do, when you fill yours up, what is the mileage the computer says? When I fill mine to full it says 353 or so.. Is that where yours is? Do you find the gas gauge moves around a lot,like after you fill it up and then shut it off and start it later on I can lose almost 1/8 tank or more. Does yours do that same thing? This is basically after driving maybe 10 miles or so home from the gas station. I do appreciate all your help. It's nice to be able to talk to someone that has gone through most of the same issues I am. Kinda helps me think I am not going crazy as my dealer thinks I am.

I checked out the sites listed above for the max care warranties. I think we'll have this PAC LTD for about 4 years. Shouldn't my local dealer be able to meet / beat their price...just wondering if I would get better service.

Replying to: tlars (Mar 11, 2009 2:25 pm) You don't say how many miles you drive in a typical 4 year period. With all the goodies on a limited I personally sure would want the Max Care. However, if getting together the money for the Service Contract is tight then perhaps the 3 year interest Sehe one to go with, as the other ones you have to russel up the dough. But call as many and see wher you think would fit you best. Have you had any problems with you PAC? Is your PAC an AWD, and what kind og mpg do you get? Hope this helps. farout |

Replying to: Biggd1999 (Mar 10, 2009 3:38 pm) The computer averages what you mpg was upon fill up and then based on that mpg projects how far you can go, thuss the 353 miles is arrived at. Some times my read out is 420, and sometimes it reads out 360 to the 420 miles. I don't hold that too close, eccept when it says 40 or so miles until empty. That I do pay attention to. Now you couls leave the PAC for them to work on, after leaving them with the keys, make sure you have the other key with you, upon just befor leaving with the doors lockes hit the Panic buttom and see if they scramble to shut off the alarm, maybe they might move into the shop the fix it. Go by the dealer a couple of times, if you PAC is still sitting there hit the ppPanic alarm everytime you drive by. Now that could be fun. They just might think you PAC is haunted. Years ago I had 1954 Chevy Convertable. I put a switch that when some opened the hood a 1933 Forf ugaaa horn would go off if I did not turm the horn off. A few times back when they washed your windshiled and checked the oil a few station attendents bumped their heads. Most generally I got some not so nice words said. Heck, life has to have some funny moments, keeps the boredum out of the day. Keep us posted. farout
