What’s Included in the Warranty on a New Jeep?

When you purchase a new vehicle from your Jeep dealer, you will get the benefit of a new car warranty. The limited warranty on a new car is typically bundled into the cost of your new vehicle, which means you won’t have to pay for the warranty coverage separately. You can make claims under your warranty by contacting your local dealership. 

Jeep offers two warranty plans for every new Jeep vehicle. The Basic Limited Warranty plan will last for three years or up to 36,000 miles. This is a limited bumper-to-bumper warranty that will protect you from the cost of vehicle repairs for components that are damaged by manufacturer defects. The major vehicle components covered by this warranty include the transmission and engine. 
The Powertrain Limited Warranty plan lasts for five years or up to 60,000 miles. This warranty plan reduces the costs of labor and parts related to powertrain repair. The powertrain of your vehicle includes the components of the engine, transmission, and axle. There is also a corrosion warranty for new Jeeps; sheet metal panels are covered for three years, while outer-body sheet metal panels that have been finished with body paint are covered for five years. 

Exclusions

The limited warranty on your new Jeep will not cover the cost of routine maintenance, damage to the vehicle that is caused by aftermarket parts, or damage caused by car accidents. If your vehicle is damaged because of the environment, such as natural disasters, the repair costs are not covered by the limited warranty. 
Although the Basic Limited Warranty offers bumper-to-bumper coverage, this new vehicle warranty does not cover repairs for tires or other parts that were not originally part of the vehicle when it left the factory. The Powertrain Limited Warranty will not cover the cost of tune-ups, brake pad replacements, filter replacements, or scheduled lubrication. 

Should You Purchase an Extended Car Warranty From Your Jeep Dealer?

While the limited new vehicle warranty for your Jeep will protect your vehicle for the first few years of car ownership, it can be a good idea to take out an extended warranty in the future. When the factory warranty on your Jeep expires, an extended warranty can bridge the gap for your vehicle’s coverage for several more years. You will be able to choose a level of extended coverage that works for your needs when you discuss extended warranty plans with your dealership’s finance department. 
The new vehicle warranty on your Jeep can shield you from repair costs associated with manufacturer defects on covered vehicle components. After your new vehicle warranty ends, you can speak with your dealership about extending your warranty protection. Call Northern Prairie Auto Sales to discuss the details of your new vehicle warranty today.
