eBay

before you buy a car get the VIN number and run it and make sure it is not made in Canada. Chrysler and a few other automakers will not warranty the car. These dealers will sell these cars at Great unbelievable prices and they don't disclose that there is no warranty from the manufacturer. They did this to protect they're dealers in the US from Black Market sellers buying canadian-made cars in undercutting the dealers. I have a 2006 Dodge Magnum and I went through hell to have a gas tank replaced under warranty that was causing serious stalling issues making the car very unsafe to drive. My advice is if the car is made in Canada do not purchase it some of these safety recalls will happen long after the car has been bought and for the lifetime of the car. Run the VIN number make sure the car was made in the United States. I've seen models on eBay as new as 2016 made in Canada with unbelievable prices not fully disclosing. I think it should be illegal and I have emailed the FTC and my congressman.

Its a magic gas tank.

I filled my tank with uranium 4.47 billion years ago, and never used it- and now it is half empty. Must have a leak.

It is beyond its half-life.

Chrysler probably didn't warranty that either.

They will not if it is an improperly imported Canadian made Chrysler product

I imported mine from Krypton- and the dash still fell apart. (Just kidding. I'd never buy a Chrysler!)

There's only one way you're going to do anything about gray/grey market cars. Have Congress enact legislation.

1. That will take a LOT of public input many thousands of consumers.

2. Auto dealers and manufacturers spend countless millions on lobbyists.

Guess who is going to win this battle?

As for Chrysler, I'm a Mopar fan. My daughter recently bought a new Sublime Green R/T Hemi Challenger and it's the cat's meow. And then some. 🙂

A subtle ride it is not. The Portland cement seats make sure of that....

No! No! Not MORE legislation! Caveat emptor is all we need.

Well Rip, at least yer daughter's car is green! 😉 (Gotta love green!)

Hey, I meant to tell the OP: I bought a 1912 Stanley Steamer, and now the company won't honor the warranty- They just ask me if I'd like my carpets cleaned..... [cymbal crash]
