My 2007 Chrysler 300C has a lifetime powertrain warranty. I received the document listing the parts covered for the lifetime warranty. My ABS, esp and tcs lights came on. The right rear speed sensor went bad. I called graven and set up appointment for warranty work. I also called Chrysler Corp. I brought my car to graven Chrysler, 10-10-11 at approx. 2:30pm. Graven Chrysler called the next morning, 10-11-11 7:53am my car was ready. Graven said it was going to cost $135. I said that the work was warranty. Graven said it wasn't warranty work because part number doesn't come back as warranty. I explained to the assistant that it is warranty, that my car has a lifetime powertrain warranty. She said that only covers the engine, transmission and driveline. I said it also covers a lot of other parts which I have a list of. She then said, you will have to talk with Chrysler and there was nothing she could do. Chrysler said I have to pay a $50 co-pay. I said why should I pay a co-pay when this part has a lifetime warranty. I was told I can pay the $50 or $185. I said that I was told it was $135. I said for now I will pay the $50 but would file a complaint for the warranty and getting my $50 back. The next day I received a call from Chrysler. I was asked how my car was running. I said it drove home ok. She said that she would close the case then. I said that I can't understand why you made me pay $50 co-pay when the part is listed on the paperwork as having a lifetime warranty under the powertrain. She said that I could call graven Chrysler back and try and get them to except it. I said, why, you are the person who makes the decision as you did about the co-pay and the graven Chrysler wouldn't even do that.
