I bought my Chrysler 300 M about 2 years ago from a well known dealer. It was used and have 26000 miles on it , now it has 57000 miles.
I bought the extended warranty and i got 1 year left on it. My problem is that my car is over heating and i took it to the dealer 3 times for the same problem and the problem has not been fixed. The last time i took it i took it to the actual Chrysler dealer. But it still overheats and also this last time it happened it drained my coolant out of my car my guess is that the pressure of the heat was to high and let the water out of the reservoir. Any Opinions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks
 
Although the special provisions discussed above apply to new motor vehicles, Song-Beverly has many general rules that apply to any consumer product sold with an express written warranty. As a result, there is important coverage for motorcycles, the living quarters of a mobile home, used vehicles sold with a dealer's express written warranty, "lemon" vehicles repurchased by the manufacturer and sold to consumers with an express written warranty covering the defect, and vehicles sold with a service contract.

A full description of warranty rights is beyond the scope of this message, but you should be aware that coverage is not identical to the coverage for new motor vehicles. For example, a warrantor who is unable to conform a consumer product to its express warranty within a reasonable number of attempts is required to replace the goods or refund the purchase price less an amount attributable to the consumer's use. Unlike the special rules on new motor vehicles, however, there is no set formula for determining the charge for the consumer's use before the discovery of the defect, and the Lemon Law presumption does not apply.

For complete advice concerning your legal rights, you should consult your own attorney.
