I talk with an Audi mech buddy at a high level In Audi... he says the mech is prolly wrong. Dealerships don’t head hunt, and to caution their side “”generally””

Got off the phone with the dealership....So I slightly misunderstood. They have not tried to warranty the tranny nor notified Chrysler as they feel the warranty would no doubt be voided if they do. So they’re standing by waiting on me.The local shop swears all was well.The truck ran fine from 58-63 k no issues...Not sure if I should try a lawyer, or risk the warranty.
If they say there’s a “hole” in the filter have them show it to you. They have to prove that part X caused the failure in order to decline warranty coverage. This is more involved than someone just saying so. If there’s shoddy workmanship and a transmission filter that is faulty, then that’s not the dealership’s problem or Chrysler’s problem. That fault lies on the shop who installed the parts.
The truck has zero aftermarket anything on. Bone stock.They are calling the filter aftermarket somehow.They are very hung up on the loose bolts proving that the work was shorty. I have a picture of the filter with a tear in the seam, but have no clue how they could prove loose bolts, or the tear wasnt done when they tried to remove it.Invoice shows a compatable filter, and a compatable fluid.

Basically he said they have no real reason or gain to feed a line of bs despite what people think. And often time prefer tomwarranty it vs have a consumer pay as the money is guaranteed, and the consumer comes back.

You guys are *censored*es.
Back up the warranty gravy truck and start pouring!!!
Ask them for point of failure. A seam torn on a transmission filter that is submerged in the pan will not cause the transmission to fail. Been in the business 29+ years.

Been in the business 29+ years. What would happen if the filter wasn’t even there? Seems like a broken-in transmission with fresh fluid wouldn’t give up the ghost even if the filter was omitted?
Is this work and battle under the Mopar warranty, or under a third party warranty. My Gf's car had the idler arm bolt break, and it's kind of a big deal. The third party warranty didn't want to cover it because they claimed "the idler arm bolt isn't part of the idler assembly" (which was covered). They backed down when I told them that they will have to explain that logic to a judge.I still chuckle overthe brazeness of that.
New dealership warrantied the tranny for me.... Thank goodness. lolAppreciate all the help.WB

I got a construction company to start bringing me all their local trucks for repairs a few years ago because another dealer wouldn’t warranty a transmission for a really dumb reason. These guys now spend $5000 plus a month with me. If only those other guys knew what they blew out the door.
