gf’s Chrysler 200 needs a tstat at 55k miles. I figured that much. But it has a power train warranty. So figured I’d let the stealership verify and replace. Yay I don’t have to get cold and nasty.
But oh, apparently it’s not covered..... If that housing springs a leak, life blood leaks out. Dead power train.... I get things attached to the engine not being covered. PS pump goes, PT still safe. AC goes, PT safe. But the way the service writer attempted to explain it, it’s only internals and such.
Then gave me the “deer in the headlights” when I questioned computers and modules. It just shows him on the computer if the work to be done is a warranty or not. So I politely asked for a copy of the description and details of the Chrysler power train warranty. Just so I can know in the future. Which he says they can’t get or some rubbish.
At which point I politely excuse myself before I get mad at the guy and allow the gf to pay for them to verify what I knew already. $450 for a dang tstat R&R! Makes me figure it’ll be really fun and impossible to get to at that price.... yay me...
Should have known I’d have to work on the dang thing when she bought it...
Rant off.
