    Hello All,
    I am trying to locate anyone that has a copy of this powertrain
    warranty.. My 02 Cruiser was totaled in an accident 2 weeks ago and I
    have found a 02 limited to replace it.. My dealer is a total jerk and
    read to me that this warranty was transferrable at no charge..
    Chrysler is saying they are not, but if the dealer has a copy that
    says it is they will reinstate it.. 5 days 6 phone calls to the dealer
    no response.. If ANYONE has a copy of this warranty they could email
    me I would really appreciate it.. PS. If you want any Kind of
    Chrysler or Dodge Stay as far away as you can from Main Street Dodge
    In Cartersville GA. That is another long horror story LOL
    Thanks
    Sue

    Normally they are transferable to another person at a $50 charge..... mine
    goes back to 99 so I doubt it would help you but I doubt it is transferable
    to another car. But it probably can be canceled for a refund and then buy
    another on the new car. The first 3 years you haven't used it so it is
    probably a full refund. Otherwise it is a prorated refund.

    I've never heard of a warranty being transferred from one vehicle to
    another. I very much doubt that any car maker would do that. The
    transfers that some allow are transferring the warranty from one owner
    of a car to another owner of the SAME car.

    when they say transferable they mean the warranty can be assigned to the
    new owner when the car is sold so if the salvage yard wants to get
    something warranted after it's been totaled then he will have to pay the
    transfer fee
    it can not be trnasfered to you new pt

    Extended warranties are transferable with the car to another owner (not between
    cars). You should be able to get a refund for the unused time on the warranty.

    Guess I did not make myself clear it is my new 02 limited that HAD a
    7 yr 100mile powertrain warranty.. Not the crashed one.. the warranty
    goes with the car so on my crashed one it is dead.. when I bought the
    new car Chrysler said it was not tranferrable to a second owner but
    the dealer read me part of the contract that said it was and they will
    not call me back.. I am still looking for anyone that has a copy of
    this warranty on an 02 bought before July 9/02.. Chrysler said it
    would reinstate it if the dealer would show where it says
    transferrable.. Sorry I confused so many people..

    Sorry to be a bearer of bad tidings, the 7 year/100,000 mile powertrain
    warranty was not transferable. What is complicating the issue, is that
    Chrysler actually had two warranty programs. The 7/100,000 program started
    in November 2001 and ran till the late Spring. They replaced it with a
    7/70,000 powertrain warranty which was transferable. I believe that one is
    still in effect. Unfortunately, my scanner is kaput so I can't scan the
    paper, however at the top it states:

    "THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXTENDED ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER of a 2001 or
    2002 Model Year Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep Vehicle who purchases or leases
    from an authorized DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation dealer during the
    program period."

    Under WHAT IS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY it starts out in bold "For You, the
    original purchaser of the vehicle only,

    On the back under WHAT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY: is the killer:

    Repairs that may be needed by a subsequent owner (someone other than You or
    Your legal dependent) of the vehicle. COVERAGE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS NOT
    TRANSFERABLE.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.
