A Dodge vehicle comes with the original three year or 36,000 mile warranty, whichever comes first. This provides bumper to bumper coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. In addition, Dodge includes an extended powertrain warranty (for vehicles purchased between 11/1/01 and 7/8/02) for seven years or 100,000 miles. This powertrain extended warranty is limited to the original owner only. Vehicles purchased after 7/8/2002 and up to the 2005 model year came with a 7 year/70,000 mile powertrain warranty. Dodge dropped the powertrain extended warranty on all models starting with the 2006 model year. It can only be assumed that this was done as a cost cutting measure. The powertrain warranty is great if something major happens, like your engine or transmission going out. But, if you like being prepared for anything, it's a good idea to purchase an extended warranty, preferably before your original warranty expires.

Regular vehicle maintenance is one of the most important ways to maintain your Dodge warranty. Keep a log of your maintenance along with your receipts as proof that you have adhered to your maintenance duties. Refer to your owner's manual to ensure that you perform the proper maintenance.
It is best to take your vehicle to a franchised Dodge dealership for repairs unless you are in an emergency situation. This will ensure that repairs are done properly, by a trained professional. Most people expect that repairs are always made with new components; however, this is not necessarily true. Repairs may actually be made with repaired, manufactured, or reconditioned parts.

You may want to consider a factory backed plan. Factory backed warranties are usually more expensive then those from independant providers and your choices of repair facility may be limited. A good source for a Dodge
extended warranty is www.chryslerwarrantys.com. Compare our pricing with Chrysler backed plans.
