100k Bumper to Bumper what?

When i bought my jeep i thought, "Chrysler will stand by it's product". So i ponied up for the "Bumper to Bumper 100 thousand mile extended warrantee". Hey, i'm going to be using this jeep as it was intended, let's make sure we're covered.

Right... So i thought you might like to see what has been covered so far so you can make an informed decision when faced with this clever Chrysler option.

Covered:

The $2 plastic retaining clip that holds the lever on to the cable of the transfer case selector. This was also repaired again by me, on the trail and getting fixed in the first place was a pain in the ass.

#1 spark plug failed.

Not Covered:

The soft top window clamps.

Front axle UV joints on both sides. The Dana 30

Front hub assemblies on both sides (bearing packs). The Dana 30

Throwout bearing is noisy after going through water.

Ripped front driveshaft dust boot.

Ball joints on the front axle.

Clock spring. This one really pisses me off. The airbag idiot light came on so i took it in. NOT COVERED. So i got the $111 jeep wash. Thanks guys.

So i hope some Chrysler employee can explain to me just exactly what IS covered? i seem to recall this warrantee was at least an additional $800. Don't quote me on that but FREE it was not.
