What does Chrysler leaving the UK mean for owners and their cars? - News - What Car?
When is Chrysler backing out of the UK. New Chryslers will stop being sold in the UK some time in 2017. We'll know precisely when later this year. In 2014, Chrysler sold less than 2000 cars. This is partly down to the small range of models, most of which - the Grand Voyager in particular - are getting on a bit. Also, CO2 ratings are high on the 300C and Grand Voyager, but it's worth noting that the Ypsilon is competitive in this area. The decision to stop selling in the UK will mean that current Chrysler dealerships can focus their attention on selling more Jeep models. Until 2017 there will still be Chrysler dealerships on hand and warranties will still be valid. A spokesman for Chrysler has said that Chrysler-brand aftersales mandates and operations will continue and that all warranties and service agreements will be fully honoured. You'll still be able to take your car to a dealership or an independent garage to get it repaired up to 2017. After 2017, you will take your car to a dealership that is part of the Jeep network or any other approved garage. Thanks to part sharing within the Fiat Group we don't anticipate a problem. The Ypsilon in particular shares a number of parts with Fiat models, and so should be well catered for. Source: www.whatcar.com
