There has to be more to this story than what you are telling. I've never replaced a driveshaft or suspension bushings on anything. I'm siding with Chrysler on this one. Anything that moves will wear and tear. You're lucky they covered the driveshaft.

We bought a maxcare with our 18 Durango that we bought used. It had a massive list of things it covered but I don't recall if suspension bushings were on it, this was not a lifetime one just a 5 year bumper to bumper. The main reason we bought it was for electronics, suspension work I would do myself normally.

Rubber or rubber type items are considered wear items and aren't covered by any warranty beyond the typical 12/12. Examples would be belts, hoses, weatherstrips and suspension bushings so your anger may be misplaced. Good luck with an aftermarket bushing as well as most of them are pretty much garbage.

Wife and I bought a 2014 Jeep and paid a pretty good penny for the lifetime warranty. Maxcare was the name I believe.
I took it in to get a driveshaft replaced and some bushings in the rear end replaced which should have been covered under the warranty.
They replaced the driveshaft but said the bushings were declined because it was considered a normal wear & tear item. I can't find the original sales brochure but I am pretty sure it said it covered the suspension for life.
I realize that eventually they would say the XYZ repair was worth more than the car and pass on the repair but I didn't figure they would just make excuses to not cover repairs that were supposed to be covered.
I called to complain and it was a complete waste of time.
I won't buy a new Chrysler again and when I replace the bushing it won't be with a Chrysler part either.
Sorry had to vent.
Hmm. Just looked at the website and this is a partial list of what the website lists as "COVERED COMPONENTS WITH OUR MOPAR MAXIMUM CARE EXTENDED WARRANTY" "Bushing, rear axle housing Bushing, rear spring Bushing, rear spring shackle Bushing, spring eye Bushing, starter pilot Bushing, tension strut bar Bushing/cushion, rear stabilizer sway Bushing/cushion, rear sway bar" I'm not familiar enough with Jeep to know which bushing you are speaking of AND I am not sure this is the plan you have but I think I would look at the website and have another discussion with them. Maximum Care Warranty

The Charger and 300 people are having a field day with their screens peeling and door panels separating and Chrysler doing nothing about it.
I'm not sure if I'd expect driveshaft and bushing problems at that age but I would expect them to honor extended warranty over it. The screen in our '18 Charger started looking as if it was delaminating in the upper left corner. Couldn't even see it from the driver seat. I stopped in the dealership to show it to them. They asked me to wait while they took it back into service to read some data and ensure they ordered the correct replacement. In a few weeks, I went back and they installed a brand new unit and sent me on my way. Funny thing is that the tech didn't bother setting the clock, but did take the time to tune the radio to a religious station.

There is nothing Jeep about the Compass except the emblems. It is a re-badged Caliber. And rather than give a list of negatives on those vehicles, I'll just say that there are better choices out there for basic transportation.
If a CV boot and a couple of bushings are the first and only problems the OP has had so far, he has been very lucky. Sway bar end links are very prone to early failure on a lot of vehicles anymore.

Chryslers haven't been made for quite a while now. Our beloved Corporation passed away long time ago.Raped and pillaged too many times.

I normally would agree about the extended warranty thing. But my wife and I bought one on our 2018 Durango R/T that we bought used. We bought the Mopar MaxCare for it strictly for the electronics. We figured one failure of the nav/radio system and we would be close to even on money, two failures and we are golden lol. Our 2015 Journey had two nav units replaced in it under warranty in just two years. But because we bought the extended warranty the system in the Durango has been flawless now for 18 months or so.
Also having extended warranty keeps me from doing things like changing the camshaft, and other modifications I shouldn't do to my wife's car.
