B.S. The warranty is good anywhere. If you bought the truck someplace
else, they should be glad to be getting your service business.
My truck was originally sold in Idaho. I bought it used in Utah, and
had warranty work done at two different Utah dealers with no hassles
whatsoever. Then after moving to Canada, I even had one warranty job
done up here. They did call me up to tell me that Chrysler Canada had
refused the warranty claim, so I had to tell them that it was an
American truck (that's why the speedometer is in miles, geniuses), so
then they called Chrysler in the US and got it taken care of, no
problem, no checkout charge, nothing.
Look for a 5-star dealer, and don't take this kind of crap from them.
