That's not how it was explained to me. It covers anything "mechanical" some 5500 parts of car. If the repair is as much or more than value of vehicle, they write a check for value of vehicle. I had a similar warranty on my 07 van but it only went to 100000 miles. No issues with claims ad far as repairs, but chrysler screwed me as far as getting money back for trip interruption when tranny went on me while on vacation. 4000.00trans cost me 150.00 deductible 
When I first heard about it, I thought "awesome, if the trans starts to act up again at 200K, it'll get replaced". Then I read this on Page 5 of the contract:
THE PLAN WILL NOT COVER, OR APPLY TO LOSS OR EXPENSE RESULTING FROM:
• Repairs or replacement of any component covered by any of the Vehicle manufacturer warranties, Certified Warranty, part
manufacturer warranties or recall policies; roadside assistance, loaner vehicles or other services which are eligible to be
covered by the vehicle’s manufacturer warranty or marketing programs;
• Repairs required as a result of other than a manufacturing defect (such as a design defect or normal wear);
I'll probably go for the 100K one then, as anything past 100K can be considered normal wear and tear..

I looked at the lifetime for my Wrangler. Still have some time to consider it. One negative I see is that it is not transferable like the other extended warranties. So there is no help in resale value like other extended warranties.
Also at 7 years I believe the roadside assistance and loan car part goes away and once an estimated repair exceeds the value of the vehicle they will simply give you that amount and write the vehicle off somehow.

So if they did a cr@p design or it was designed to fail at 100K + one mile, it's not covered?
This is one of the reasons why I hate insurance. They will have 20 pages of legalese, but even though they probably also have a actuarial list of what is or isn't covered, they will NOT provide it. Instead, they will send your claim into limbo and await an answer...
