Jeep’s certified pre-owned program
Certified pre-owned Jeeps must pass a 125-point quality inspection at a dealership, which includes a thorough check of its undercarriage, engine and transmission. All CPO Jeep models also come with a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, while select model years come with a powertrain warranty.
Jeep CPO warranty plans
According to the Jeep website, the company offers three CPO warranty options:
- CPOV: Three-month/3,000-mile Extended Care Premium Limited Warranty and a seven-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
- CPO Gold: 12-month/12,000-mile Extended Care Premium Limited Warranty
- CPO Go: Three-month/3,000-mile Extended Care Premium Limited Warranty
Additional information on CPO warranties may vary, so contact your local Jeep dealer for specifics.
Jeep powertrain warranty
Select CPO Jeep models (usually 2020 or newer) come with a seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Powertrain warranties typically cover only a few dozen parts within your engine, transmission and drive axle.
Unlike the Maximum Vehicle Coverage warranty, the powertrain warranty term is typically measured from the date your Jeep was sold new. Because all new Jeeps come with a five-year/60,000-mile factory powertrain warranty, the CPO powertrain warranty only adds two years/40,000 miles of coverage.
CPO Jeep benefits
CPO Jeeps come with the following benefits:
24/7 roadside assistance
CPO Jeeps come with 2/47 roadside assistance. This includes flat-tire services, gas delivery, battery jumps, lockout services and towing. This benefit is limited to $100 per occurrence.
SiriusXM trial subscription
You’ll also get a three-month SiriusXM trial subscription, which includes access to over 150 channels.
Vehicle history report
All CPO Jeeps include a free Carfax Vehicle History Report so you can make sure the vehicle is in good shape before you purchase it.
How good is Jeep’s CPO warranty?

Is a CPO Jeep worth it?
CPO Jeeps come with decent benefits and a bumper-to-bumper warranty, though it's on the shorter side at just three months or 3,000 miles. Plus, the CPO warranty won’t necessarily protect you from all issues, since warranties typically apply only to manufacturing defects. So, if your Jeep’s previous owner damaged the vehicle, your warranty probably won’t pay to fix it.
A CPO inspection should usually catch damage, but dealerships have less of an incentive to notice problems that they aren’t on the hook to fix. That’s why it can be a good idea to get your own pre-purchase inspection on a CPO vehicle.
Still, if you can find a Jeep dealer willing to sell you a CPO Jeep for not much more than a used Jeep, getting one might be worth it.

Customer reviews
Greg, a reviewer from Washington, bought a certified pre-owned Jeep that had thousands of dollars in issues.
“We bought our Jeep certified pre-owned with 30,000 miles. We have had the Jeep for [three] years and 20,000 miles. The touchscreen went out[.] [...] Cost $1,400. [...] The passenger window cracked for no reason[.] [...] In the back, [there are] controls for air, heated seats and a 110 outlet. All of those stopped working ($600). [...] I just can’t get past the fact [that] when I took it in for the problems[,] the sales tech asked if we bought the extended warranty for the Jeep[.] I said, ‘No[,] I figured a $34,000 [SUV] would have decent reliability.’ He looked up and smiled[.] ‘Oh you should’ve.’”
Do you need an extended warranty for your Jeep?
Since Jeeps are known to be less reliable than other car brands, getting an extended warranty could provide peace of mind and coverage for potentially expensive repairs. These plans have their pros and cons, but they can offer the same level of coverage as your original warranty long after it runs out.

Jeep extended warranty
Jeep’s official extended warranty program is called Mopar FlexCare. It offers three plans:
- Extended Care Premium: Covers over 5,000 components
- Extended Care Plus: Covers over 800 components
- Extended Care: Provides basic powertrain coverage
With FlexCare, you can get either eight years/125,000 miles or seven years/unlimited miles of coverage.
Third-party extended warranty
If you’re interested in getting a third-party extended warranty for your Jeep, it’s usually worth shopping around. Because extended car warranty companies price their plans to match your vehicle, there’s a lot of variation in the industry, so you may be able to get a deal by comparison shopping.
