Default Out Of Warranty Letter
I received a letter the other day from FCA reminding me the Jeep will be out of warranty in a few weeks time and to arrange an appointment with local dealership to discuss what options are available. Anyone had similar? Just another scam to take out extended warranty?

I received something similar back in 2018 - I round filed it in the recycling bin.

Normally I avoid extended warranties, but FWIW:

I bought my car used and took out an extended warranty, albeit a third party one and not FCA. I did hesitate, but it's been the best investment so far. Paid $1200 for the warranty and have made two claims totaling $2147, still have a year left to run on it. The claims? $900 for thermostat job and $1247 for a new a/c condenser. Given the prices for Jeep parts and repairs I'm glad I took it out. All I'm required to do is have the car serviced every 6 months which I do anyway (doesn't have to be dealer servicing).

You could thank them for the reminder.. and then book this...
http://www.mrtune.com.au/vehicle-ins...e-inspections/

Make sure your vehicle is in tip top shape before the warranty runs out. After that, if your mechanically minded, i would buy replacement and service parts at Rockauto and save $1000's.... You dont have to get those expensive dealer service and tunes anymore... chill out, have a beer and swap your own filters out for 1/10 of the cost..

Cheers,
