Chrysler Warranty Options

Cost & Coverage Review

Chrysler bumper-to-bumper factory warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

The engine factory warranty is 5 years or 60,000 miles, extending 2 years after the bumper-to-bumper warranty expires.

The average length of ownership and the most common car loan term is 6 years. Chrysler offers three options for owners who want to finance extended warranties to avoid unexpected cost during the second half of their car loan: Maximum Care, Added Care Plus, and Powertrain.

What do the Chrysler Factory Warranty Options cover?

Maximum Care

Chrysler Max Care is a bumper-to-bumper, factory-backed, repair plan that pays the cost of parts and labor for breakdowns on the entire vehicle including all electrical and mechanical components except a few items disclosed on their exclusionary list.

Max Care includes 5000+ components coverage.

Exclusions | What is not covered

Added Care Plus

Chrysler Added Care Plus is the second best plan with 800+ components coverage.

It includes the engine, transmission, RWD, FWD, AWD, steering, cooling, heating, shocks, struts, rear entertainment system, sunroof, instrument panel, cruise control, and more.

Not a bad choice for a base model Chrysler 300, but for a fully loaded Pacifica the Maximum Care is worth the additional cost.

The Chrysler Pacifica has more mechanisms than other vehicles and therefore a greater return on investment from a bumper-to-bumper plan like Maximum Care, especially considering it takes the beating of growing families and children.

Max Care coverage includes power sliding doors, power liftgate, stow-and-go seats, navigation, entertainment, vacuum, three row climate system, and all the other unique features of the Pacifica.

Powertrain Coverage

Engine coverage. Not worth the cost unless the price is rock bottom. Spend the money on a better plan or pass if this is the only option.

How much is the repair copay?

Chrysler has three options of deductible copay: $0, $100, $200.

The $0 copay option looks like the best option until the difference in upfront cost is calculated.

The $100 copay plan is $500 less to purchase than the $0 plan, but only $225 more upfront than the $200 copay plan.

Therefore, the F&I Tools Review finds the Chrysler Maximum Care Factory Warranty extension with $100 deductible the best bang for the buck!

8 years / 100,000 miles
$100 Deductible: $3440
