But they refused to fix it under warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mike was upset and took the issue to social media! &nbsp;He was upset that a dealer would treat a faithful customer this way. &nbsp;The dealer stood fast in its&nbsp;decision. &nbsp;Prestige&nbsp;claimed the pinion seal was ruined because of a road hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his frustration, Mike took his new truck to another Dodge dealer and they fixed it, presumably under warranty. &nbsp;But then that other dealer got a big surprise! &nbsp;Chrysler denied it because the truck was placed on &nbsp;&#8220;warranty restriction&#8221;. &nbsp;Say what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IN OTHER WORDS THE WARRANTY ON THE TURCK HAD BEEN VOIDED! &nbsp;BUT WHY?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turns out Prestige got pissed off at Mike for posting bad reviews so they called the factory to cancel his warranty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After Mike called my radio show for help, we got Chrysler involved. &nbsp;They dispatched factory technicians to investigate and concluded the pinion seal&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY<\/span>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">CONCLUSION<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chrysler paid for the repair and immediately lifted the warranty restriction. They also offered Mike (the consumer) an 75-thousand mile extended service agreement that covers even regular oil changes and maintenance!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Longmont handled this case so totally &#8220;off the wall&#8221; that I would never set foot on their lot to buy a vehicle or get one serviced! &nbsp;And to think &#8230; &nbsp;the original repair would&#8217;ve only cost Prestige around $200! &nbsp;Morons.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I&nbsp;hadn&#8217;t witnessed this story and verified it and hadn&#8217;t been directly involved, I would have never believed it! &nbsp;Based on how this dealer handled this case, Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Longmont should be avoided!
