Hyundai/Kia/Mitsubishi/Chrysler already share the same 2.4 I4.
 
This is not accurate, although a common misconception. There are some common design elements between the 2.4L engine manufactured by Chrysler and the one manufactured by Hyundai (and also Mitsubishi's), due to the alliance between Hyundai, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi, but they are different engines produced at different factories. That accounts for why, for example, the Chrysler and Hyundai engines have different output, different NVH etc.

Well, consider that Chrysler's engines have a lifetime warranty and Hyundai's have "only" a 100,000 mile warranty (or ten years).

Doesn't matter how I define "lifetime", it's how Chrysler defines it. And that's public knowledge. It was in all the papers.

I hadn't read Chryslers "lifetime" warranty, just thought you knew what it was. I'll just have to look it for myself.

Sorry, the way your original post was written (with the smiley face) I thought it was in jest.
 
Lifetime = as long as the original owner or leasee owns the car.

Oh no, that would be terrible if Hyundai decides to put Chrysler-made engines in all their vehicles. It will ruin Hyundai's reputation again, and all the investment they did to improve reliability and customer satisfaction is for nothing.

Not all Hyundais.....just the ones made in the US.
 
Thanks Backy for the info. Kinda makes you want to buy a Chrysler product. NOT. Unless you live in China and get one with a Hyundai built engine.

Chrysler's "Lifetime" waranty is only in effect if ALL your scheduled service is done at the dealership. With the price diferential between the dealer and private shops or self service I could buy 3 new engines over the life of paying dealer prices for service.
