An extended warranty can help you cut down on repair costs for covered vehicle components. Extending your warranty coverage is a good idea if you want to maintain the power, performance, and protection of your Jeep for as long as possible. When you visit your Jeep dealer to purchase a longer warranty, you will have a couple of programs to choose from.
What’s Covered in an Extended Warranty on a New Jeep?
For Jeep, extended coverage for your warranty is called a Mopar Vehicle Protection Plan. Mopar offers two tiers for this plan. The Mopar Maximum Care Plan will cover 5,000 vehicle components for eight years or up to 125,000 miles. This plan is essentially bumper-to-bumper coverage, similar to the new vehicle warranty that comes with your Jeep.
The second plan, Mopar Added Care Plus, covers the most essential components of your vehicle for a minimum of five years and a maximum of eight. This vehicle protection plan will cover drivetrain elements, the steering system, the brake system, the cooling and fuel systems, the engine, the transmission, the air conditioning, and the front and rear suspensions.
Exclusions
You can only purchase a vehicle protection plan for your Jeep before the basic limited warranty on your vehicle ends. These protection plans will not cover vehicle components damaged from reckless driving, lack of maintenance, severe weather, theft, or vandalism. The warranty does not cover wear and tear vehicle components like brake pads or the cost of routine maintenance.
Perks
These protection plans come with some perks, such as roadside assistance and towing assistance. Drivers can be reimbursed for car rentals and trip interruptions. The cost of key fob replacements or repairs will also be covered. However, these perks will expire after 100,000 miles, even if you are under a maximum-length vehicle protection plan.
Where Can You Have Repairs Under This Warranty?
Repairs are only covered if they are performed at an authorized dealership with genuine parts from Mopar.
Ask Your Jeep Dealer: What Other Warranties Does Jeep Offer?
When you purchase a new Jeep, you get the benefit of several warranty programs. The Jeep basic limited warranty lasts for three years, or up to 36,000 miles, while the powertrain limited warranty will last for five years or 60,000 miles. Jeep also adds a federal emissions warranty that lasts for up to two years and an anti-corrosion perforation limited warranty. If you purchase a certified pre-owned Jeep, your vehicle will have a limited powertrain warranty that will last until the odometer hits 100,000 miles.
A vehicle protection plan can cover the cost of repairs for expensive vehicle parts, such as your powertrain or drivetrain. Contact Bill Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to discuss your plan options today.
