Dodge Charger Extended Warranty FAQ

What does the Dodge factory warranty cover on a Charger?

Common Charger issues include 8-speed and 5-speed automatic transmission shudder and failure, TIPM (totally integrated power module) electrical failures, A/C compressor wear, wheel bearing failures on rear-drive models, and throttle body issues.

Most Dodge Charger model years with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible. Contact us for your specific model year's eligibility.
