So after 4 and 1/2 years and ~36k miles my water pump took a crap. I was going WOT on the interstate 60-100mph with the a/c on full blast on a 90+ degree day. I knew something was weird when the a/c started blowing hot and then shortly thereafter I started getting a chime and check engine light on the dash that read coolant over heating...it read 270F. So I limped it a couple miles to an exit and parked it safely, temp stayed at 265-270 for about 5 minutes until I could get the car off.
Called my dealership who told me to Call Chrysler Cares for a tow, they actually had a truck there within an hour and towed it for free and then my dealer repaired it all under warranty! So yeah I’m the original owner and my 5-year/100k mile power train warranty still gets it done! Car seems happy again, it never got like a bad hot where the coolants steaming or burnt rubber smell when it overheated when I had to drive it for a few minutes. Kinda glad it did crap out at a time it’s still covered because I know it’s a pretty common thing for our cars...
