Dodge Journey extended warranty coverage options
Stellantis offers its official extended car warranty through Mopar. FlexCare is available for up to eight years and 125,000 miles. Extended warranties offer protection for covered repairs after a vehicle’s factory warranty expires.
This official Dodge extended warranty guarantees repairs using factory-backed parts by certified technicians. FlexCare is honored at Dodge dealerships, as well as participating Chrysler, Jeep, Ram and Fiat dealerships in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Three types of vehicles are eligible for a FlexCare extended warranty:
- New vehicles with fewer than 36,000 miles and within three years of the warranty start date
- Certified pre-owned vehicles with fewer than 75,000 miles and an active CPO limited warranty
- Traditional vehicles no more than 10 model years old with under 150,000 miles, or under 125,000 miles with a manufacturer's five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
New Dodge Journeys are no longer being made, but your used or CPO Journey may be eligible for an extended warranty. Be prepared for a dealer vehicle inspection to ensure eligibility, and save all receipts and work orders in case they are needed later.
Further details about owner requirements can be found in your owner’s manual and warranty guide.

The cost of a Dodge Journey extended warranty can vary significantly, depending on factors such as the vehicle’s age and mileage, the plan you choose and your deductible.

Canceling your plan
You also have the option to cancel your Dodge Journey extended warranty. There is no penalty to do so, but you must file an official request. A prorated refund may be available, depending on your case.

A Dodge Journey extended warranty requires an initial investment, but it may be worth it if it helps you save money down the road.
