Jeep Warranty Review: Coverage, Cost and Overview (2023)

Understanding your Jeep warranty will help you identify what vehicle components are protected and what repairs you may need to pay for out of pocket. Factory warranty coverage is included with all new Jeeps, but it doesn't last as long as other manufacturers’ coverage.

We at the Guides Auto Team will explain what the Jeep warranty covers, how long each part of the warranty lasts and whether you should consider purchasing extended warranty protection. Our experts researched and ranked the best extended car warranty companies to help provide you with choices as you search for extended coverage.

Jeep's factory warranty is a promise from the manufacturer that the company will repair your vehicle if something goes wrong during the warranty period. Stellantis acquired the Jeep brand (along with Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Fiat) in 2021. Its parts, services and customer car division, known as Mopar®, provides the genuine parts used in all Jeep vehicles.

All Jeeps come with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Here's an overview of how long each part of the Jeep warranty lasts:

Jeep Warranty

Warranty Length

Basic Coverage Limited Warranty

3 years/36,000 miles

Anti-Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty

All panels: 3 years/unlimited miles

Outer panels: 5 years/100,000 miles

Powertrain Limited Warranty

5 years/60,000 years

Federal Emissions Warranty

2 years/24,000 miles

Specified components: 8 years/80,000 miles

The separate sections of the Jeep factory warranty cover specific parts of the vehicle. Your Jeep dealer should provide you with an owner's manual that gives more details about your new car.

Here's an in-depth explanation of how the Jeep warranty protects your vehicle:

Many of your Jeep's genuine Mopar parts not included in the coverage above are protected against defective materials or workmanship with other warranties. Most of the other warranties only last for 1 year/12,000 miles for both parts and labor.

Covered Mopar parts include:

Like most other manufacturer warranties, Jeep's Basic Coverage Limited Warranty and Powertrain Limited Warranty come with restrictions. These warranties require Jeep owners to go to authorized Jeep dealers for covered repairs. Only original Jeep or Mopar parts are protected under these warranty plans.

There are modifications that could void your Jeep warranty coverage if you don't maintain your vehicle correctly. The following additions to your Jeep won't void your entire warranty, but any repairs needed because of them won't be covered:

However, some modifications — including disconnecting or tampering with the odometer or attaching any device that disconnects the odometer — will void your entire Jeep warranty.

Jeep warranties also exclude damage caused by collisions, weather and acts of nature. You won't have repairs covered for:

In addition to providing a new vehicle warranty, Mopar offers warranty coverage for certified pre-owned (CPO) Jeep vehicles. All CPO vehicles must be five model years old or newer, have under 75,000 miles and pass a 125-point vehicle inspection.

CPO Jeeps come with a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain limited Warranty. This warranty runs seven years from the date the vehicle was originally sold as new or until there are 100,000 miles on the odometer. It covers the repair or replacement of most major powertrain components, including the transmission, engine and driveline.

CPO Jeeps also have a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care Warranty, which starts on the CPO vehicle sale date or when the original new-vehicle warranty ends. The Maximum Care warranty covers over 5,000 vehicle components.

Jeep offers short-lived warranty coverage compared to other manufacturers. Purchasing a Jeep extended warranty can give you long-term protection and peace of mind if your vehicle isn't reliable.

Based on a survey our team conducted, most consumers are satisfied with their extended warranty as it provides them peace of mind; however, just over 50% of 1,000 respondents purchased their extended warranty through the manufacturer rather than a third party.

The J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study℠ ranks Jeep 24th out of 32 automakers for reliability. In the 12-month survey period, Jeep experienced an average of 141 mechanical issues per 100 vehicles, higher than the industry average of 121.

Our review team reached out to Jeep parent company Stellantis for a comment on these scores and received the following response:

"We carefully consider third-party ratings such as this in our pursuit of continuous product improvement. Accordingly, we are confident that our recent initial quality achievements are a harbinger of future vehicle-dependability studies."

If you’re interested in lengthening your Jeep warranty, you can purchase extended warranty coverage from Mopar. Mopar Vehicle Protection offers two vehicle service contracts that cover up to 8 years/150,000 miles.

Here's an overview of the two vehicle service contracts for Jeeps:

The Mopar Vehicle Protection plans come with several benefits, including:

All Jeep vehicles that are covered by a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty are eligible for Mopar Vehicle Protection coverage within three years of the in-service date and 36,000 miles.

Manufacturer warranties from a Jeep dealership or Mopar aren't your only option for long-term coverage. Jeep owners can also purchase extended warranty coverage through reputable extended car warranty companies.

Here are some benefits of choosing a third-party extended warranty for your Jeep:

We recommend getting quotes from several providers before you purchase an extended car warranty. This will allow you to compare your options to find the best price and coverage for your situation.

Jeep's basic limited warranty, also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty, lasts for 3 years/36,000 miles. The Jeep powertrain warranty lasts for 5 years/60,000 miles.

Jeep's Basic Coverage Limited Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed for repairs caused by faulty parts or workmanship. This bumper-to-bumper warranty lasts for 3 years/36,000 miles.

No, Jeep doesn't offer a lifetime warranty. If you want coverage beyond the manufacturer's standard warranty, you’ll need to purchase extended warranty protection.
