Welcome to Wayalife!
My dealership rocks! They installed my lift at the time of purchase. They told me that if they put it on, they would warrantee it. I have purchased many vehicles there and have a great relationship with them.
You know what Ray Stevens says; "when you get a hair cut get a barber that you know. .."

I had similar dealing with 2 dealerships. Had a few warrantee things that i was 100% sure were covered in my bumper to bumper. Not one was covered and it took weeks and multiple agents telling me every different run around possible. I was so mad i wanted to sell my baby out of spite for the corporation. but like you say, i love my jeep and the lifestyle it allows me. My next jeep will be used from a privet seller because i cant stomik dealing with them.
My jeep needs some work done now and i dont know were to take it. Had i had a positive experience with my local dealer, it would be there now, but its not. In between my 2 jeeps i drove a Murcury wagon. I took it to Ford the first time i had an issue, sure it cost me a bunch to have a dealership fix it but is was done right and i was treated great. and for the next 6 years they were the only one to touch my car, and i was greeted with my first name every time i walked in the door for a oil change or what ever. The point i am getting at is they took the time to build that customer relationship and it payed off for both off us. They got my business and i felt comftorble letting them at it. I am 0 for 3 on Jeep dealerships. I guess the trick is finding a good one, i am sure they are out there.
I was shocked to get a quote of $900 each for the cruise control sensors. Cruise control is covered by warrantee but the sensors that tell it wether it is on or off is not coverd. Same dealership told me i had chunks missis from my synergy belt and need it replaced emeditly, for $230 and they could get the belt in that week. I could find nothing wrong with the belt, rocked it for another 8 months before getting one installed off the self for $50 from JiffyLube.
Sorry for the ramble, I hope it all works out for with your light and exhaust

In my experience, Chrysler will fight you because you choose to drive your Jeep.
I've got the same warranty. I've had a TON of problems and so far my dealership as well as grand junction, co has taken care of everything under warranty. I would just go chat with your service manager. That's what I've done on multiple occasions and so far so good :thumb:

The Moss-Magnussen Act allows individuals to install aftermarket parts. Further, it prevents the manufacturers from wholesale voiding of warranties based on the installation of said aftermarket parts. For a manufacture to challenge the Act, they must prove by a preponderance of evidence that the aftermarket part caused the failure of a related system, part, or associated material covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

.....and Chrysler would love to see if your willing to take the time and effort to shell out your cash on a lawyer and take the matter to court. They have no doubt that 75%+ give up on step one of this battle. Saves them millions in the long run to dick over as many as they can until they reach the few that press the issue!

I've done it before, not against Chrysler, but against another of the big ones and prevailed. It shouldn't be any money up front to the litigant but it does take time.
I might be in good hands
My local dealership does not install any mods even the Mopar products. They did however go as far as recommending two local companies to install lift, wheels, tires, and other mods. They said that they have good reputations of proper builds. We'll see if that makes any difference when I have to go see them for anything other than oil changes. Wish me luck.

What have you tried getting fixed or replaced under warranty?
Well, talk to me again when it's something that isn't so minor regardless if it's near the suspension. Of course, as I always say, every dealership is different and they are ultimately the ones who will flag your Jeep. If you've got one that's willing to work with you, you might be fine but if you actually took the time to read what I wrote way back when this thread was originally started, you'd know that I just went in to have a cracked exhaust manifold replaced when I got flagged - a very common problem with the old 3.8L and it has nothing to do with suspension.

In Cali it is illegal for dealers to do that though I am sure some will try. And all of the ones near me were willing to do the same lifts for me thru DSI, warrantied , for a fee of course, which around here is also 4x4 parts.com. 
. Don't know how they would ever win

I thought it was illegal to "blanket" void a warranty :thinking:
