Ram is going to cut powertrain warranties too

[RollingsFarms]

What a joke! I might just have to say forget buying a new truck ever again. This is ridiculous.

Ram Cuts Powertrain Warranty for 2016 - PickupTrucks.com News

They are cheapening up parts.

 

[RollingsFarms]

All of them are, cheaper parts and charge a higher price and have an unreliable piece of junk that we won't have to warranty as long. Welcome to the American auto. Too bad Germans don't sell trucks here.

Yea... when looking for a car for the wife I went with Mitsubishi...

5yr/60K - bumper to bumper 10yr/100K power train - nothing made/assembled on this continent could compare.
I would love to spend my money on a product that at least had american hands do something in the build/assemble process, but you just don't get confidence in the quality

Depends, several Mitsubishi cars are assembled in Indiana. Gallant, Eclipse, outlander sport, endeavor. We own several and have had nothing but good luck with them. The 5/60 BTB warranty is hard to beat.

I've seen Dodge Sprinter parts made in Germany.... don't know if they still are?

I have a MB Sprinter. It is just about to go out of warranty at 36kmiles.its 18 months old and has been in the shop for several warranty issues already. It's a 2014 and already showing signs of rusting under the paint. I'm pretty sure I'm getting rid of it next week for a Ford. No matter what you get these days, they are all junk. Having a warranty is huge when shop labor rates are 120.00 per hour

 

[Egon]

Just keeping up with Ford ain't it?

 

[RollingsFarms]

If the American auto industry has somehow figured out some sneaky way to sell us a $40, 50, 60 and even $70,000 dollar truck AND make us buy the extended warranty just to have some piece of mind even though they will try their best to squirm out
Of honoring it. If that's the case then I hope they all go bankrupt.

Gentlemen, we are blaming the wrong people. The consumer is at fault, not the manufacturer. The manufacturer will produce the cheapest and least warranted item it can still sell. Regardless of country of origin. Regardless of product. Consumers are always in control of product quality.
