I don't have my warranty in front of me, but:

1.) Are you sure you have to 'transfer' the warranty? I assumed it was a
manufacturer's warranty that was instantly transferrable.

2.) If so, are you sure there is a _charge_ to transfer the warranty?

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
 

There's a hundred dollar deductible associated with the 7/70 warranty,
but that's peanuts if you need service on a failed drive train
component. I have an '04 that I purchased with 14K on it and was under
the impression that I would have to pay the $150 transfer fee. The
dealer ran my VIN to confirm when I came in to pay. (you must do this
before the 3/36 runs out) He said because of the manufacture date of my
'04 the 7/70 warranty was "on the vehicle" like previous years and I
didn't have to pay the $150 to "transfer" to a new owner. They aren't
exactly cheap for service, but they're honest (Fuller's White Mountain
Jeep in Show Low Arizona). As to your question about the dealer nit
picking the 7/70 warranty I guess that depends on the dealer. I don't
worry about mine. :-)

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
 

basic powertrain
Jeep Warranty (2001 or older) 3 years/36,000 miles 3 years/36,000
Jeep Warranty (some 2002) 3 years/36,000 miles 7 years/100,000
Jeep Warranty (2002-2005) 3 years/36,000 miles 7 years/70,000
Jeep Warranty (2006 and later) 3 years/36,000 miles 3 years/36,000

These are "standard" warranties. Many dealers offer extended warranty
packages from Chrysler or independent sources.

AFAIK Jeep has always quoted warranties in miles in the US. I don't know
about other countries. Canada is somewhere that would probably use
kilometers instead of miles.
