When you first buy your Jeep, you aren't thinking about the warranty, since you don't expect anything to go wrong. However, there may be a time when you need to know what is covered in your Jeep warranty. Fortunately, Jeep offers a very comprehensive warranty to protect your investment.

Basic Warranty

Your Jeep is covered for the cost of all parts and labor that are necessary to repair any defective component that was provided by the manufacturer (Chrysler Motors). The basic warranty covers all parts except tires or items that were added after the vehicle left the manufacturing plant (i.e. customizations or aftermarket accessories), so you don't have to track down a list of covered components to verify whether or not they're covered. You don't pay a cent for these repairs. Towing costs are also covered under the basic warranty, within limits. Your Jeep must be towed to the nearest Chrysler dealership if a defective part makes your vehicle undrivable. The basic warranty goes into effect on the day you take ownership of the Jeep and ends when you hit 36,000 miles or have owned the vehicle for 36 months, whichever comes first. Brakes, wiper blades, and clutch disks are covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Powertrain Warranty

All new Jeeps come with a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, which covers the engine; transmission; and rear-, two-, and four-wheel-drive systems. Specifically, some of the parts that are covered under the powertrain warranty include the timing chain, oil pan, water pump, engine control module, transfer case, transmission mount, axles, and constant velocity joint, among others. These parts should last longer than the parts under the basic warranty, so they are covered longer as well.

Corrosion Warranty

If you need to replace any of the sheet metal on your Jeep because it is rusted through (meaning, there are holes in the metal), the repairs will be covered for 36 months. There is no mileage limit for this part of the warranty; however, the damage must be the result of rust or corrosion, and not from stone chips, scratches, or environmental causes. Outer body panels that are finished and painted are covered for five years or 100,000 miles.

Emissions Warranty

In compliance with federal law, certain emissions components are covered for at least two years or 24 months, whichever comes first. These parts include air system controls, the electronic fuel injection system, the fuel cap and tank assembly, oxygen sensors, spark plugs, exhaust pipes, exhaust manifold, transmission control module, and vacuum hoses, among others. Some parts, like the catalytic converter and powertrain control module, are covered for 80,000 miles or eight years, whichever comes first.

Claiming a Repair Under Warranty

To claim a repair under warranty, you must bring your vehicle in to an authorized Chrysler dealership as soon as a problem is noticed. Chrysler can deny warranty coverage if it's apparent the repair is necessary due to neglect, abuse, or lack of maintenance, Your repairs will be completed within a reasonable time frame, which is not to exceed 30 days. If you've noticed anything on your Jeep that needs to be repaired, check to see if it should be covered under the warranty.

Discover the Redesigned 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee has been an instant fan favorite with drivers since it first rolled off the assembly line. Its popularity can be easily explained by its contemporary, stylish design and its available 4x4 powertrain, as well as its uncanny skill at navigating through challenging off-road scenarios. Add to this a wide array of sophisticated tech and safety options, and it's clear why the redesigned 2022 Grand Cherokee is a must-drive SUV for every type of driver. Discover the Redesigned 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Bold Performance Along with your choice of either a 4x2 or 4x4 powertrain setup, you can also select what type of engine you prefer, with a V6, V8, and gas-electric hybrid as options. The V6, a 293-horsepower 3.6L, offers Auto Start-Stop Technology, so you won't waste gas during unnecessary stops. more The V8, which is a 5.7L, can automatically turn off four of its cylinders at times when all eight aren't needed, which can also cut down fuel consumption. Then there's the 375-horsepower 4xe hybrid engine, which naturally saves gas by offering you the option of using either fuel or electric power. A First-Class Cabin Depending on how much passenger space you think you'll need, you can opt for either a two- or three-row model. The Grand Cherokee L three-row model has room for up to seven people, while the standard two-row edition can fit as many as five. Plenty of comfort-focused features are available, as well as a leather-wrapped, genuine wood steering wheel. Take a load off and relax with the heated front row seats and their relaxing back massage function or give the cabin its own vibe by illuminating the available multicolor ambient lighting system. Novel Technology As for technology, the Grand Cherokee features Uconnect 5, a convenient infotainment solution. After pairing an Android or iPhone to this system, you can then call anyone on your contacts list without pressing a single button. Its hands-free functionality also allows you to get directions to your next destination with voice-instructed navigation assistance. Combining both a rearview camera and mirror together is an ingenious idea and one that has been implemented in the Grand Cherokee. The available Digital Rearview Mirror projects footage from behind the vehicle directly on the mirror's glass, giving you an unobstructed view to make reverse parking easier. Autonomous Safety Many of the vehicle's safety features can work autonomously to monitor conditions or maneuver the vehicle with reduced driver input. The Active Lane Management feature is both a warning and evasive driving system. If you happen to drift over into another lane without intending to do so, this system will first warn you that it's happening before taking corrective action to stop it. Finding parking spaces is simpler if you opt for the Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist System. This system can identify appropriate spots with enough space for the vehicle and can then control steering to simplify the process of parking. Not too many SUVs can deliver the same tremendous performance, intelligent safety features, and first-class technology that the 2022 Grand Cherokee does. Come visit us at Tom O'Brien CJDR in Greenwood, IN today to see all of its amazing features from behind the steering wheel.
