Griz Posted November 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Only because I purchased the extended warranty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 So did they give you a loaner while you wait? That seems like it's going to be a long wait with no car? I also didn't realize they dropped the drivetrain warranty on these cars. My 2015 has a 7 year/100k mile standard warranty. Just got a new tranny put in. Good luck. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted November 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 No loaner as of yet called dodge customer service filed claim with them hopefully it helps waiting to hear back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Mine was in for almost 4 weeks and I needed a car before getting approved for a dealer loaner/rental, so I rented one. After submitting all off my paperwork they are paying for my rental, and they did give me a car for the last 3 days they had it. Glad they came through. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 Called dodge best they can do is help with 35 day for rental for 10 days theirs 3800 of penstar 3.6 litter cylinder heads for number 2 cylinder on back order asked them how they can not have recall for so many issues with cylinder block.dealer is saying he has 5 vehicles in for same thing one has been their for 6 weeks with no cylinder head insight.kind of dis heartening all my vehicles are dodges just missed 60k dodge warranty by 10k luckily extended warranty is taking care of it but I'm making payments on new car that's inoperable .wish dodge could treat its customers little better I understand stuff happens but 2 months or better without car is crazy. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
