Today I went to the store driving the 2004 Dodge Neon. WHen I came out I put the key in the ignition and it wouldn't turn. The igniton switch was frozen. So I had to get it towed to the Dodge dealer.
Luckily, when I bought it, I also purchased the Extra Protection plan which covers everything for 70,000 miles. I only have 26,000 miles on it. So the new ignition switch is covered, the towing is covered and they gave me a loner car because my contract allows for that too. I do have to pay $100.00 deductible, but that's alot less than the total cost of the repair. The car should be ready tomorrow. I am having fun driving the Dodge Avenger they loaned me.
Also, I am lucky I didn't have the baby today. I had her yesterday. I wouldn't want to break down with the baby in the car and then have to deal with towing and the time I spent at the dealer.
So all-in-all, everything worked out in my favor today.

I bought it in June of 2004 so the original warrantee expired this past June. It's 36 months or 36,000 miles or which ever comes first. So June came first even though it only has 26,000 miles on it, but it doesn't matter since I have the extended warrantee.

I too had car trouble..but was very lucky. My 2001 Dodge Caravan didn't "die" until Bill drove it into the service station...and my warranty is covered until 75,000 miles....I had 74,200....all in all....it turned out well
