Dodge Durango Extended Warranty - Coverage Guide 2026

The TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) controls fuel pumps, airbags, power windows, and other safety-critical systems. When it fails, multiple systems fail simultaneously - a $1,800 repair that often accompanies a HEMI lifter issue or transfer case failure in the same service visit. The Durango's $1,100/year average repair cost is among the highest in the midsize SUV segment.

Dodge Durango Factory Warranty - What Expires When

Bumper-to-Bumper

3 years / 36,000 miles

Powertrain

5 years / 100,000 miles

Coverage gap: Once the bumper-to-bumper warranty lapses, mechanical failures - electrical, HVAC, infotainment, suspension - are fully out of pocket. Third-party extended coverage bridges this gap and can extend beyond the powertrain warranty as well.
