    Some places around albuquerque have been offering these HUGE extended warranties. So I assume others are doing it too.

    I am waiting for my 3rd to start getting pissed with me.

    Same thing happened to me yesterday at the dealership. They told me $205 to look at and fix boost leak. If it was modified or not a warranty issue. As it turned out it was the guage went bad, and was covered under warranty.

    That sucks. I had the 100k warranty too. I had the 3rd gear prob for bout 40k miles and I got 100,300 miles out of mine. NOw I have the Pwerks stage 3 with billet 3/4 shift fork and billet selector, and also cryoed tob fork and centerforce dual friction clutch, solid bushings and mopar sts. I love this setup. It shifts so smooth and tight. Good luck with yours and hope it is warranty

    Make sure to call and bitch. I wouldn't let them get away with burned trans. They will call you to find out if your satisified. I'd give them a bad grade for sure..

    F'ing stealership! I bought my 05 with 32k on it in Dec 07 and when I looked at the sticker it said it was certified. I bought it and paid 700 for the extended warranty(85k or 8yrs), drove it for about a week or so and 3rd was popping out when down shifting. Took it in to the place I bought it from, got my free rental and left. Waited a few days to find out what they were going to fix then another day later I get the call.

    Hello sorry it has taken four days but the car is not able to be under warranty. WTF??? So I ask them what the fuck does that mean and he says well we will fix it but after that no warranty. Got the car back after 2 weeks fixed, called a friend at another dealship and he said it they should of never sold me it since the engine and trans was voided(had S2, and other mods and 3rd was fixed once before). They had to send the $700 back to where I got the loan from so after a month I didnt get a warranty and my payment is 20 dollars extra a month for no reason.

    I got a little payback though, I went off on the Manager in the show room for 10min. There was 2 couples waiting for test drives and walked out the door with me as I was getting banned from the dealership so two deals lost for them.
