It sounds like great news: a puretech 10-year warranty extension<\/em> that promises peace of mind for years to come.But there is one detail that almost no one explains to you: not everyone will really benefit from it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

And when you find out why, you understand how important it is to know the fine print before you trust it.<\/p>\n\n

What does the new Stellantis warranty really consist of?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The so-called puretech 10-year warranty extension<\/em> extends coverage to 10 years or 175,000 km<\/strong>, whichever comes first.<\/p>\n\n

It sounds good at first glance. But the important thing is not what it promises, but what it actually covers and for whom.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vehicles and production years falling under coverage (2014 to 2022).<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

This extension applies to:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Vehicles with 1.2 PureTech engine<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Manufactured between 2014 and 2022<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    If your car is outside this range, you will not be able to benefit.<\/p>\n\n

    The scope of the warranty: Does it cover 100% parts and labor?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    Here is one of the key points.<\/p>\n\n

    In theory, it covers:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Failures related to known engine defects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      But in practice:<\/p>\n\n

        \n
      • Does not always cover 100% of<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Depends on very strict conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        That’s where the problems begin.<\/p>\n\n

        The strict conditions for not losing the right to the warranty<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

        The puretech 10 year warranty extension<\/em> is not automatic.You have to meet several very demanding requirements.<\/p>\n\n

        Maintenance history as an excuse for denial of payment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

        This is the most common filter.<\/p>\n\n

        If you cannot demonstrate perfect maintenance:they may refuse the warranty.<\/p>\n\n

        Revision deadlines that have changed over time.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

        Many users followed old recommendations.<\/p>\n\n

        Problem:<\/p>\n\n

          \n
        • Conditions have changed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • And now stricter criteria are being applied<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

          Result: reviews that were valid before, are not valid now.<\/p>\n\n

          Exclusive use of homologated oil (0W20 or 5W30).<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

          Only specific oils are accepted.<\/p>\n\n

          If you used another one:may invalidate the warranty, even if the failure is not directly related.<\/p>\n\n

          The need to provide the last three itemized invoices<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

          You must present:<\/p>\n\n

            \n
          • Complete invoices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • With all technical details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

            If information is missing:possible rejection.<\/p>\n\n

            What happens if the failure results in major damage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

            This is where the situation gets really complicated.<\/p>\n\n

            Vacuum pump blockage and brake leakage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

            Belt degradation can generate residues that affect other systems.<\/p>\n\n

            This may cause:<\/p>\n\n

              \n
            • Braking failures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Risk situations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

              Complete engine seizure and costs not assumed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

              In the most severe cases:<\/p>\n\n

                \n
              • The motor can break down completely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                And here comes the problem:<\/p>\n\n

                The warranty does not always cover all consequential costs and consequential damages.<\/p>\n\n

                These breakdowns can easily exceed 7,000 \u20ac.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

                What legal options do you have if Stellantis rejects your warranty?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

                If you are rejected, it does not mean that you do not have the right to complain.<\/p>\n\n

                How to demonstrate the maintenance if you went to an independent workshop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                Even if you have not been to an official workshop:<\/p>\n\n

                  \n
                • You can submit invoices<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Revision history<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                  This may be valid in a legal claim.<\/p>\n\n

                  Claim for hidden defects (Art. 1641)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                  There is a clear legal path:<\/p>\n\n

                  Claim for defect of origin when failure:<\/p>\n\n

                    \n
                  • already existed when the car was purchased<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • was not visible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                    How to join the class action lawsuit against the trademark<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                    Many of those affected have already taken this step.<\/p>\n\n

                    A collective claim allows:<\/p>\n\n

                      \n
                    • Joining forces<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Increase pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Claiming fuller compensation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                      With thousands of people affected, this type of action is gaining momentum.<\/p>\n\n

                      What no one tells you about the warranty extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

                      The puretech 10-year warranty extension<\/em> may seem to be a solution.<\/p>\n\n

                      But in reality:<\/p>\n\n

                        \n
                      • It has many requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Does not cover all damages<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • And it leaves out many affected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

                        That is why it is key to analyze your case before relying solely on this route.<\/p>\n\n

                        Frequently asked questions from our customers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

                        Does the PureTech 10-year warranty extension cover any breakdown?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                        No. It only covers certain failures and only if you meet very strict maintenance conditions.<\/p>\n\n

                        Can I lose the warranty for a small delay in revisions?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                        Yes. Even a few months or kilometers too many can be a reason for rejection.<\/p>\n\n

                        What do I do if my warranty is denied?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

                        You may claim through other avenues, including legal action or class actions, to recover full compensation.<\/p>\n\n

                        If you have come this far, you already know something important:it is not enough to have the warranty, you have to be able to use it.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
