Jeep Grand Cherokee Warranty FAQ

What does the Jeep factory warranty cover on a new Grand Cherokee?

New Jeep Grand Cherokees include a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Some powertrain components are covered for a longer period on newer 4xe plug-in hybrid models.

Is the Jeep Grand Cherokee reliable?

The Grand Cherokee ranks below average in long-term reliability compared to Toyota and Honda SUVs. Its electronics (TIPM), air suspension, and ZF 8-speed transmission are frequent failure points. Repair costs run significantly higher than average due to the vehicle's complexity.

What Grand Cherokee model years are eligible for coverage?

Most Grand Cherokees with a clean title and under 150,000 miles at enrollment are eligible. This includes WJ (1999–2004), WK (2005–2010), WK2 (2011–2021), and WL (2022–present) generations. Contact us with your VIN for specifics.

Is the Grand Cherokee air suspension covered?

Yes. Air suspension compressors and airbags are covered under Deluxe and New Car Coverage plans. Air suspension failures are one of the Grand Cherokee's most common and expensive problems, with total repairs often reaching $2,000–$3,500.

How much does a Jeep Grand Cherokee extended warranty cost?

Jeep Grand Cherokee plans typically start at $45–$110 per month depending on model year, mileage, and coverage tier selected. Call (833) 251-9786 for a free personalized quote.
