Jeep Certified Pre-Owned Warranty

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 Maximum Care Coverage

Jeep offers a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care Coverage warranty, which is a bumper-to-bumper warranty that covers over 5,000 components. The term is measured from the date your vehicle’s original factory warranty expires or on the day you purchase your CPO Jeep. For context, all new Jeeps come with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Jeep powertrain warranty

Select CPO Jeep model years (usually 2020 models or newer) come with a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Powertrain warranties typically only cover a few dozen parts inside your engine, transmission and drive axle.

Unlike the Maximum Care warranty, the term for the powertrain warranty is measured from the date your Jeep was sold new. Because all new Jeeps come with a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty from the factory, the CPO powertrain warranty really only adds 2 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?

Jeep’s CPO warranty isn’t very competitive with other automakers’ CPO warranties. While all CPO Jeeps come with a bumper-to-bumper warranty, the warranty only lasts for three months or 3,000 miles, which is worse than what many competitors offer.

While select model years come with an additional two years or 40,000 miles of powertrain coverage, powertrain warranties don’t cover many parts. Granted, they’re usually the most critical parts and the most expensive to replace.

Is a CPO Jeep worth it?

CPO Jeeps come with decent benefits and a bumper-to-bumper warranty, though the warranty is 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 traditionally only apply 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.

Reliability

Jeep has below-average dependability, according to the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study. Jeep ranked No. 28 out of 30 car brands, earning a score of 275 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), which is worse than the study average of 202 PP100.

RepairPal rated Jeep 3.5 out of 5 stars for reliability, which is an above-average score. RepairPal reported that Jeeps tend to have below-average annual repair and maintenance costs, though they tend to have more severe repair issues than the average vehicle.

Customer reviews

Greg, a reviewer from Washington, bought a certified pre-owned Jeep that experienced thousands of dollars worth of 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 8 years/125,000 miles or 7 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.
