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.

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
 

Up until the 2004 model year (with a few exceptions by manufacture
date:-) the 7/70 was attached to the vehicle. In the 2004 owners manual
it specified that although the 3/36 was attached to the vehicle a fee of
$150 would be charged to continue the 7/70 to the second owner. Remember
the good old days of the 12 month 12k mi. warranty that wasn't
transferable? And note that after 2005 the power train warranty was just
the basic 3/36. Compared to that paying $150 for a 7/70 is a bargain! If
you don't think so check what Chrysler charges for extended warranty
packages these days. Much more than $150 :-)

Re: Question on 7/70000 Powertrain warranty
 

From what I have heard dealers and manufacturers can be real foot-draggers
when it comes time to honor a power train warranty. Power train damage is
after all expensive. This is a real screwy deal from what I see in this
thread. Many of your used car purchases are from a used car dealer, or a
Jeep bought at a Chevy dealer, something like that. Are you saying that the
7/70 power train warranty is void in that case?
