Car Warranties 101

A car warranty is a guarantee by the manufacturer, whether Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM, that they will repair or replace any part that doesn’t function properly within your car for a certain timeframe. This promise ensures that you’ll have high-quality parts and a fully functioning vehicle for years after the purchase.

While many warranties only cover new cars, certified pre-owned models also come with warranties to better protect drivers from costly repairs down the road. Here are several manufacturer warranties and what they protect:

• Bumper to bumper: This warranty covers all of the car’s parts and systems, but doesn’t cover normal wear and tear items like tires or brake pads. This warranty coverage is usually offered for at least three years.
• Powertrain/drivetrain: Your car’s engine, transmission, and mechanical parts are covered under this warranty, and usually you have a longer coverage period than the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
• Corrosion/rust: Especially in colder climates with lots of snow and ice, rust can be a big problem. This warranty covers repairs necessary from early rust or metal deterioration.
