5yr/100k Powertrain Warranty on 2010's

[Malu59RT]

Is this new? Did the 08's have this warranty?

I believe that's new - I noticed the exact same thing and was trying to figure out what the story is. I know that my '09 just came with a 3/36 for everything but corrosion and emissions (those are five years). I wonder if pricing on an extended warranty for the '10 cars is cheaper because of the extra powertrain manufacturer's warranty?

Awesome!!!! Glad I waited for a 2010!!

Holy cow, viper power & style, & now a 100K mile warranty, geesh, what else could you want ... next thing they'll include a clone of Megan Fox.

Way to go Dodge!

Just bought a '10 and I've been told it has the 5yr/100k. It's on the sticker, too, just like the picture above. The dealer (who sells many, many Vipers every year) hadn't heard about this change -- it just showed up on the sticker of the new '10s coming to his dealership. He made a call to corporate and they said that was correct but they wanted to take it up the chain further to make sure. I haven't heard anything further (that was about 10 days ago) so I'm assuming I have the 5yr/100k powertrain warranty.

Maybe a dealer out there can verify this.

Regarding any impact on the extended warranty --- it may not have any impact since pricing may have already been completed assuming the old 3yr/36k warranty was in effect. And, I wonder if these extended warranties for Vipers are already underpriced a bit since they may be based on cost modeling of higher volume vehicles and not adjusted upward enough for the cost of repairing a Viper. Just guessing on this one.

I tried to do some quick checking, but it appears the pricing isn't out yet on the Max Care warranties for the '10 cars. I will say, though, that a 7/50 Max Care warranty with zero deductible on an '09 ACR was dirt cheap in my opinion... I guess they figure people will track their cars and the warranties will automatically be voided, so they make them cheap

When the 2010 Chrysler Group Models were launched last fall, Chrysler announced they were moving from the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty to a 5/100 Powertrain Warranty, and the SRT and Cummins models that were previously excluded would now be included in the warranty. See note below from bulletin D-09-23:

"This “NEW” 5/100 Powertrain Warranty stays on the vehicle, regardless of ownership. The Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair a covered powertrain component – gasoline engine, diesel (except Ram Chassis Cab and Sprinter) transmission and drive systems (FWD, AWD, RWD or 4WD. The 5-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty covers the cost of towing a vehicle to nearest authorized Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep dealer if the vehicle cannot be driven because a covered part failed.

Important: All Sprinter and Ram Diesel Chassis Cab are excluded from this coverage. Excluded vehicles will have the 3 year or 36,000 miles Basic Limited Limited Warranty regardless of ownership. Cummins Engines will continue to have a 5 year or 100,000 miles warranty regardless of ownership.

SRT Vehicles (including Viper) as well as police, limousine, taxi, ambulance, postal, rental and government (fleet) vehicles will be included in the 5/100 Powertrain coverage."
