New Chrysler & Dodge (Jeep too) vehicles now include a powertrain warranty (with a deductible). Previously the factory service contracts were available in three flavors: powertrain, added care, and max care. Since new cars include the powertrain coverage as a standard item, added care and max care only are available as extra optional coverage.
The max care and added care previously included the powertrain coverage. Since powertrain is now standard, you'd expect that the cost of max care and added care service contracts to fall, since they no longer need to cover the powertrain items.
But instead, added care and max care service contract prices (at the wholesale level) have increased quite a bit. Was this due to increased claims or did they just hope customers wouldn't notice they are getting less coverage with the optional packages?
