How much factory warranty is left on your Pacifica?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Chrysler Pacifica factory warranty
New Chrysler vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Chrysler dealer.
Why body style matters
Vans carry people and cargo, and the parts that wear are often the ones unique to the body style: power sliding doors, the power liftgate, and rear heating and air conditioning.
Naturally aspirated gas engine
A conventional gas engine has no turbocharger, which removes one expensive part. The costly failures are internal: timing chain components, head gaskets, oil pumps and, on direct-injection engines, the high-pressure fuel pump. Powertrain-level plans cover these internally lubricated parts.
Plug-in hybrid system
A plug-in hybrid has the parts of a gas car and of an electric car: engine, transmission, a larger battery, an onboard charger and a charge port. Ask specifically whether the onboard charger and high-voltage components are covered.
About Chrysler
Most Chryslers on the road are minivans, and minivans carry a lot of moving parts: power sliding doors, a power liftgate, rear climate control and rear entertainment. All of it falls outside powertrain coverage.
