Replying to: tlars (Apr 01, 2009 10:03 am) About 5 yeras or so ago the nations biggest vehicle Warntee Company, that many Chrysler dealers used instead of Chrysler Service contracts, because they cost less. went bankrupt! Many were left with nothing. I have never bought anything but the Chrysler Service Contracts. They pay right then and there, no sending you a check, or paying the bill three months later. The 3 year 36,000 mile warranty does not cover rental or loaner cars. If you have a Chrysler Service contract you do get a car they rent for you, starting from the day you buy the Chrysler Service Contract. Chrysler does have a 36 month no interest plan but you have to push to talk to a supervisor. I haver had four this way. It does exist so be persistant. Oh, you might ask to test drive a car for the day? That might be a possibility. farout Replies to this message: jtg61 (Apr 01, 2009 6:24 pm) tlars (Apr 01, 2009 7:14 pm) jtg61 (Apr 25, 2009 2:45 am)

Replying to: farout (Apr 01, 2009 10:46 am) Chrysler has a deal for military veterans. If you present your DD214, they will give you an additional $500 credit and a 3 year service contract. The only catch is the military 3 year service contract doesn't include the free loaner car. I previously received a dealer provided 3 year service contract and it included the loaner car. It just depends which service contract you get. The standard 3/36 warranty does not include a loaner car. I bought one of the last new 08 Pacs available to receive the lifetime powertrain warranty. I only hope Chrysler is around long enough to honor it. Replies to this message: tlars (Apr 01, 2009 7:14 pm) jtg61 (Apr 25, 2009 2:45 am)

Replying to: jtg61 (Apr 01, 2009 6:24 pm) Even though I've been out since 1992, they will give me this discount? Are you saying they GIVE you a 3 year warranty or offer a $500 credit towards the costs of the warranty? Or was this applied toward the purchase of your new car?

#679 of 746 Hard shifting into 2nd gear by brusterm May 18, 2009 (4:37 am)
I have an '04 Pac with 130k miles. It has started a problem where it sometimes shifts hard into 2nd gear. After that it is smooth in the upper gears. The mechanic doesn't seem to have an idea yet. Reading through these posts, now I'm worried about motor mounts and transmission fluid. Is there a way to check the motor mounts are good. He checked the trans fluid and the level is OK. Another problem is that it seems to shudder sometimes when going about 60mph. Dropping to 55 or increasing to 65, the shudder will go away. I'm worried these sound like expensive problems....

Replying to: brusterm (May 18, 2009 4:37 am) I believe that the majority of the problems were with the 4.0 engine and the 6spd transmission. One way to check the motor mounts is to have someone put the car in gear with their foot firmly on the brake and accelerate while someone else is watching the engine. It if lifts up substantially, you have a motor mount problem.

Replying to: rhollis (May 22, 2009 4:05 pm) I was saying that in a joking way. Howerver I have heard of a person getting hit against a wall in just one instance just as I warned against. I remember you got your money back, or some of it on a PAC, what is your ride now? I sure hope you are having better luck with the new ride. farout Replies to this message: rhollis (May 23, 2009 3:56 am)

Replying to: farout (May 22, 2009 4:13 pm) Years ago when vehicles had points and distributors, a friend of mine was tuning up his tow truck. He tapped the remote starter buttom to locate the timing mark and the next thing he knew he was being hauled off to the hospital. The truck was in gear and lurched forward pinning him against a work bench. He did not lose any vital parts, but walking is not as easy as it used to be.
