Chrysler Extended Warranty Prices

I've seen a few comments regarding warranty's so I figured I would post warranty prices from Chryslerwarrantys.com. I used them to get my dealer to match their price for my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Lifetime Maxcare warranty which I paid $1625 for. Unfortunately, my buddy didn't listen to me and when he bought his Ram from a different dealership, he paid $2800 for the same warranty...OUCH! I plan on doing the same thing for the JGC. I'm only quoting Max Care not the Added Care Plus which is cheaper but covers less as well. Max Care is your typical "bumper to bumper" warranty. This assumes $100 deductible. There are options for $50 and $0 deductible which substantially increases the price. These are 5, 6 and 7 year options along with the Lifetime option. I'll be going with the lifetime option on the JGC like I did with my Ram. One other thing to note here is that when you buy an Extended Chrysler Warranty (at least the Lifetime one) you receive a booklet of 6 free oil change coupons. I received two booklets when I bought my Ram (one for the military $500 rebate which the JGC has and one for buying the extended warranty). Great deal if you ask me so in my opinion it's a no brainer. The Lifetime isn't transferable to anyone except in two states if I remember correctly but I plan on keeping my JGC quite a long time just as my truck so I love that peace of mind.

2011 JGC

5/60K = $845
5/70K = $1055
5/85K = $1210
5/100K = $1400

6/60K = $940
6/70K = $1120
6/85K = $1330
6/100K = $1590

7/60K = $1005
7/70K = $1150
7/85K = $1380
7/100K = $1665

Lifetime (No Mileage or Year Expiration)
Powertrain Alone = $885
Max Care Bumper to Bumper (including power train) = $2100

Also a thing to note.. When you go to their website the first time.. You enter your e-mail. Usually in a handful of days you get a coupon in your inbox.. My last coupon was for $207 dollars off the already listed prices above.. That is if you don't buy it the first time your on their website.. :)

I just slapped on the Lifetime Maxcare on my Jeep a few days ago. My salesman said nothing about getting 6 free oil changes though....... not that I care that much about it. I got the $100 deductible. My salesman said that it was useless to get the $50 deductible since the $0 deductible cost only $50-100 more. Paid $23xx for it after the employee discount.

I was told that if the repair cost more than what the car is worth, they would just pay me for the car so my dreams of driving it until the wheels far off isn't going to happen :lol:

Yes it is the exact same warranty the dealer would sell you. I would see if you can get your dealer to match or beat the price like I did with my dealer when I bought my Ram or just buy it off the site.

No, no tire/rim coverage.

Roadside assistance is included though (good for the term of the extended warranty, though the lifetime limits roadside assistance to 7 years)

Flat tire change if you don't feel like doing it yourself.

Free rental when you are having repairs done.

They also brought me 5 gallons of gas for free when I scr3wed up once ;)

The Chrysler extended warrantly served me very well on my 2002 WJ. You have to find a dealer service center that doesn't have marbles for brains though. My Father in law's dealer in PA refused to fix things like a seeping rear main seal, since it wasn't "leaking enough". They have since gone under.

My dealer on the other hand told me to bring in any problem, no matter how minor, because the dealership still makes money on Chrysler warranty repairs. Well duh.

Was that dealership in Doylestown?

Waiting for my ordered Overland to come in, and reading up on the extended warranties is very useful. Just curious: consumer reports is completely against purchasing an extended warranty, and says 75% of buyers do not. Is there a consensus among Jeep owners?

do you get the metal member card? I mean is the same warranty as this?

http://www.jeep.com/en/service_cont...pricing_max_new.html?opt1=opt1b&opt2=option2a

Maximum Care
Option Code: LM100N
Estimated Price*$3,995.00
Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price.
Taxes may apply

I paid 2800 for the above. Someone else paid 2300. I could live with 500, since I got a good deal on the car, but 700 is kind of bothering me.....

My consensus of one says get it.

A) The first year of any brand new model is risky. Lord only knows what will break after 3 years. Look at the number of TSB fixes that came out for the WJ and then the WK. Some of those TSB's were applicable to models that came out 5 years before the TSB. No extended warranty means you have to pay for those repairs. Fixing the blend door problem on the WJ's cost as much as the extended warranty does. Plenty of people are driving WJ's without properly functioning AC/Heat because of this problem.

B) There is a lot of equipment on the WK2. More to break.

C) This is a heavy AND fast vehicle, and the driveline/suspension/brakes are stressed much more than, say, an Accord.

D) I change my own oil, and because of that, I'm under my Jeep a few times a year. I always look for leaking seals, and can almost always find someting (Diff, Axle, Transfer Case, etc). If I had to pay for these repairs myself, I wouldn't do most of them. I'd just keep topping off fluid. The extended warranty gives you the luxury of keeping the Jeep in top notch condition throughout its life. This will extend it's useful life, and improve resale. All the warranties up to 7/100 are transferrable too, which has got to make the Jeep much more attractive to potential buyers.

I'm getting the lifetime warranty. I just wonder what they're going to do when say, a nav unit is no longer available 10 years down the road ;)

Extended warranties probobly aren't nearly as good of a deal for other cars (on my wife's, it would have been a waste), but for the Jeep, it's a good deal.

Really appreciate your "consensus!" I'm still on the fence, mainly because when I purchase insurance, I will buy the "mechanical breakdown" coverage: I purchased lifetime coverage ("lifetime" as long as you pay the premiums) when I bought my 1994 GC new, and just used it last month for a major rear axle repair. Current policies are only good for 7 years, but I figure that might be enough time to ring out the "bugs."

Everyone with the Quadra Lift suspension really needs to look at the fine print. Even the maximum care only states the rear shocks are covered. After owning a Range Rover you have to look at the fine print in the extended warranties. They do not like to cover those shocks since they are a normal wear part. On the range rovers they were $1,500-2,000 a piece without labor.

What's the point of having max care bumber to bumber if it is not bumber to bumber. That is just stupid ;-) Thanks for the heads up, I will look into the fine print.
Max Care is not the same as the factory bumper to bumper warranty, but close.

Wear parts like brake pads/rotors, wiper blades, battery, and shocks are not covered. Neither is 'soft trim'.

That said, I just read over the entire policy and there is nothing in there that excludes the QuadraLift system. NOTHING. The WK2 with QuadraLift uses standard shocks. It's the springs that are replaced by an air filled "bag", which is covered along with every other QL component.
--------------------


Maximum Care is an exclusionary extended warranty, often referred to as a "Bumper-to-Bumper warranty" and as such if it's not excluded, it's covered. The only parts and labor not covered are:
  • Maintenance services and items used in such services.
  • Glass, plastic lenses.
  • Body and paint items, including soft trim.
  • Wear items such as manual clutch assembly, brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums and belts are not covered at any time.
  • Snow plows, winches and trailer hitches

Sounds like a pretty good plan. So do they offer the tire / road hazard program like I have on my wife's Honda? Wish I would have had it on my BMW when I hit the NJ pothole!
They do, but they use local tow truck companies of course. I had a starter problem once, and a guy in a station wagon came out!

Chrysler does follow up to make sure they arrived on time, did they assist you, etc.

70% of the reasons that I got this was for the QL. So I called the service contract number (jeep) and they said that the QL is covered. Front and back suspensions. He also mentioned that it would not be covered with the regular limited power train warranty.

I am still waiting for the warranty package to arrive(they said it should take up to 60 days) but I would not think they are lying...(innocent me)

If you can get lifetime for 2100 as the original OP stated, is not bad (would run you about 4% of the cost of the (overland + tax)

I was also told by the dealer, but I am not sure of this, that if your warranty is no longer enforceable ( big accident, sell the car, etc) you can get a prorated refund. I am not sure how that works for the lifetime warranty, but it is something to consider and maybe clarify.

So QL should be covered...but I like double checking maybe getting in writing!

Then you still have to wonder why it was late availability on the QL system. If they have been planning for introduction since 2009 the air suspension should have been ready from the start with no quality control control set backs.

The touareg's have issues with their air springs as well going out. I don't think I have seen a mass produced personal vehicle that hasn't has mass issues with the air suspensions. I hope Jeep is the first mass produced model to break that trend. Then that would get some great PR :-D

I hate to hear about the Hitachi/Tokico link. The systems I'm used to dealing with have bags manufactured by either Goodyear or Firestone. Most of the air components are manufactured by Bendix on the large trucks and motorhomes. Are you certain this is the supplier for Jeep?
