While the warranty benefits for a new Chrysler under the factory-limited warranty may last for three years or 36,000 miles, drivers can opt for longer-lasting coverage with an extended warranty plan. You can generally purchase a Chrysler extended warranty, which is provided through MOPAR, at your Chrysler dealership. more 1. Multiple Coverage Plans New vehicles covered by MOPAR's vehicle protection plan have three tiers of coverage. The first tier is the MOPAR Powertrain Care Plan, which covers 300 vehicle components, particularly parts of the powertrain and transmission. The MOPAR Added Care Plus is the middle tier and covers 800 major vehicle components, such as the engine, transmission, and brake system. The MOPAR Maximum Care Plan covers 5,000 components and essentially functions as bumper-to-bumper coverage for most mechanical parts. Key mechanical components covered by this plan include the drivetrain, anti-lock brakes, air conditioning system, and suspension system. 2. Additional Perks Your MOPAR vehicle protection plan comes with added perks like an allowance for a rental car and trip interruption coverage, which reimburses you for certain travel-related expenses because of unexpected vehicle repairs. Roadside assistance and towing benefits are also perks of your MOPAR extended warranty, which means you can access assistance if you need a battery jump start or your vehicle needs to be towed to the nearest authorized repair shop. 3. Long-Lasting Coverage Extended warranty plans can last for eight years or 125,000 miles for the middle-tier plan. The extended warranty starts from the vehicle's original warranty start date when your Chrysler was first purchased and the odometer was at zero miles. You can figure out the estimated length of your warranty by subtracting the current miles on your vehicle from 125,000 miles. Do Warranty Benefits Include GAP Insurance? GAP insurance or guaranteed automotive protection is a bridge between what your extended warranty covers and the remaining payments on your vehicle. Typically, GAP insurance is used in cases where your vehicle is declared a total loss because of vandalism or an accident. When you purchase an extended warranty plan through MOPAR, you can opt for GAP insurance for additional peace of mind. An extended warranty can give you certain perks like roadside assistance and reduced fees for major vehicle repairs.

Several of these systems actively intervene to prevent accidents. As your Chrysler dealer, we want to tell you about some of the features you'll find in your vehicle. more Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning With Active Braking This system combines alerts with active assistance if required. It uses radar to detect a vehicle in front of you, then compares your speed to the other vehicle's to determine if you're closing too fast. If the system identifies that an accident might occur, it provides visual and audible warnings to alert you so you can slow down and avoid an accident. If the distance continues to close, the system activates braking to slow your vehicle or bring it to an instant stop, depending on the situation. Instant braking will prevent a collision or reduce its severity at the very least. Adaptive Cruise Control With Stop and Go This feature allows you to set a specific speed that your Chrysler maintains until you intervene or it detects a vehicle ahead of you. You can also set the following distance, and your Chrysler will reduce speed if necessary to keep this distance. Stop and Go allows your vehicle to slow and stop if a vehicle ahead brakes, and then will resume its original speed when the other vehicle moves again. Blind Spot Monitoring System This system uses sensors that continually monitor your blind spots for vehicles you won't see. If a vehicle is detected when you're actively changing lanes, a warning icon appears in the corresponding side mirror, and a warning tone sounds. This gives you enough time to steer away and avoid a collision. ParkSense Rear Park Assist When you shift into reverse, this system activates and uses powerful sensors to detect stationary objects behind you. If something is detected, a warning icon will appear on your screen, and you'll hear a warning sound. Rear Cross Path Detection This system also uses sensors, but they monitor the area to the left and right when you reverse. If they detect a vehicle, the system provides audio and visual warnings and will brake to prevent a collision. Your Chrysler has many other safety features.
