> if your car's engine fails after 100,000 miles they are not paying for anything

And exactly what car companies will pay for engine if it fails after 100K miles? Come on, 100K miles and you want to complain about reliability?

> which has personally affected me.

And here you've clearly announced that your condemnation of VW has nothing to do with morals or ethics and everything to do with your personal inconvenience. Your indignation about the diesel scandal is a front to mask your self-serving agenda.

Chrysler (incl. Jeep and Dodge) has a standard lifetime powertrain warranty.

Which doesn't cover their diesel engines, hybrids nor SRT variants of petrol engines.
Thanks, that's pretty interesting. I wasn't aware of that.

Hyundai/Kia will, at least up to 100k. I think Suzuki tried to promise a 10/120 warranty for a little while before they went out of the US.
