Mopar Extended Warranty: Plans, Costs and Claims

One transmission failure on a Jeep Grand Cherokee can cost $5,000 — which is exactly why Stellantis sells its own extended coverage. A mopar extended warranty, officially Mopar Vehicle Protection (now transitioning to the FlexCare brand), extends factory-backed mechanical coverage beyond the original warranty for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo vehicles, with genuine Mopar parts and certified technicians.

This guide breaks down the real plans, coverage levels, costs, exclusions, and how to buy and claim.

Quick Answer: Mopar Extended Warranty at a Glance

Mopar Vehicle Protection offers three core plan tiers: Extended Care Premium (formerly Maximum Care — 5,000+ components, exclusionary, up to 8 years/125,000 miles), Extended Care Plus (formerly Added Care Plus — 850+ components, up to 8 years/150,000 miles), and Powertrain Care (300+ components). Deductibles of $0, $100, or $200. Plans include rental allowance, towing, roadside assistance, and trip-interruption coverage. Buy from your dealer or call 1-866-818-9929.

Mopar Extended Warranty Plans in Detail

Extended Care Premium (the former Maximum Care) is the flagship: an exclusionary plan covering 5,000+ components — if it’s mechanical and not explicitly excluded, it’s covered. Engine, transmission, driveline, steering, suspension, brakes, electrical, safety systems, luxury electronics, even infotainment. Terms up to 8 years/125,000 miles, and coverage is measured from the vehicle’s original warranty start date, not from when the factory warranty expires.

Extended Care Plus (the former Added Care Plus) covers 850+ major components: engine, transmission, drive axle, steering, suspension, air conditioning, cooling, fuel system, and electrical. A stated-component plan — strong on the expensive systems, lighter on electronics and luxury features. Terms run 5 to 8 years with mileage options up to 150,000 miles.

Powertrain Care is the budget tier: 300+ components covering the core powertrain — engine, transmission, driveline — plus steering and air conditioning on some versions. It suits owners who only fear the catastrophic bills. Your dealer may also offer Powertrain Care Plus (400+ components).

Extra Benefits Included in Every Plan

Beyond parts and labour, each Mopar plan bundles convenience coverage: car rental allowance, towing allowance, roadside assistance and “Sign-and-Go” service (up to $100 per occurrence), trip-interruption protection (up to $1,000), and key fob repair or replacement (up to $600 total on Premium/Plus). The Customer Convenience Upgrade adds a $0 deductible per repair visit plus first-day rental. Note: on some plans these perks expire at 100,000 miles — check your contract.

What the Mopar Extended Warranty Does Not Cover

• Excluded Wear items. Brake pads, rotors, tires, wiper blades, belts, manual clutch assemblies, and shock absorbers (on lower tiers) are not covered.
• Excluded Routine maintenance. Oil changes, filters, alignments, and tune-ups are maintenance, not breakdowns.
• Excluded Cosmetic damage. Paint, upholstery, glass, and body panels are excluded.
• Excluded Non-mechanical parts. Catalytic converters, particulate filters, trailer hitches, and winches are excluded on most plans.
• Excluded Pre-existing conditions. Breakdowns known before the plan’s effective date are excluded.
• Excluded Misuse and racing. Damage from racing, overloading, or lack of required maintenance voids claims.
• Excluded Aftermarket alterations. Non-Mopar performance modifications can void related coverage.

Mopar Extended Warranty Cost

Mopar publishes no price list — every plan is priced by the dealer based on vehicle model, age, mileage, term, and deductible. Third-party 2026 sample quotes put typical Maximum Care/Extended Care Premium contracts in the $3,000–$5,500 range and Added Care Plus in the $2,000–$4,000 range; treat these as rough benchmarks, not quotes.

Your deductible choice ($0, $100, $200) moves the price meaningfully — a $200 deductible can cut hundreds off the contract.

Two money tips: buy before 3 years/36,000 miles for the best terms and pricing, and get quotes from multiple dealers — the same Mopar plan can be priced very differently across dealerships. Mopar occasionally offers same-day signup incentives through dealers.

Maximum Care vs. FlexCare: What’s Changing?

Stellantis is rebranding Mopar Vehicle Protection under the FlexCare name: Maximum Care → Extended Care Premium, Added Care Plus → Extended Care Plus. Coverage substance is unchanged — if your dealer quotes “FlexCare Extended Care Premium,” it’s the Maximum Care plan you researched. Older Maximum Care contracts remain valid under their original terms.

Mopar Extended Warranty vs. Third-Party Warranties

The main alternative to a factory plan is a third-party vehicle service contract from companies like Endurance or CarShield. Third-party plans can be cheaper upfront and sometimes allow repairs at independent shops, but they typically use aftermarket parts, require pre-authorisation phone calls, and have more claim disputes.

Mopar’s edge is structural: genuine Mopar parts, factory-trained technicians, honoured at any authorised dealer with no pre-authorisation battles, plus Stellantis backing instead of a third-party administrator. If you plan to service exclusively at the dealer and keep the vehicle long-term, the factory plan usually wins on hassle alone. If you want the lowest price and use independent mechanics, get a third-party quote to compare.

How to Buy and File a Mopar Extended Warranty Claim

1. Get a quote from your Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealer’s finance office, or call 1-866-818-9929.
2. Compare terms — years, mileage cap, deductible, and which plan tier — across at least two dealers.
3. Buy before 36,000 miles for the widest plan and term eligibility.
4. For a claim, visit any authorised dealer — coverage is honoured nationwide at Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo dealers.
5. Pay your deductible ($0/$100/$200 per the contract) and the dealer handles the claim with Mopar directly.
6. Use the benefits: ask for the rental allowance, towing, or trip-interruption coverage when a covered repair strands you.

Selling the vehicle? Transfer the plan to the buyer for a $50 fee in most states — a genuine resale sweetener.

Mopar Extended Warranty FAQs

Conclusion

A mopar extended warranty is the only extended coverage built specifically for your Stellantis vehicle — factory-trained technicians, genuine Mopar parts, and nationwide dealer acceptance that third-party contracts can’t match. Extended Care Premium is the closest thing to extending your bumper-to-bumper warranty; Plus and Powertrain tiers trade coverage for price.

The honest caveats: dealer-set pricing means you must shop around, and wear items were never covered. Explore plans at mopar.com or call 1-866-818-9929, then make two dealers compete for your business.
