Power sliding door repairs are the most frequent claim - $1,500 per door with two doors is a $3,000 repair event that most minivan owners don't budget for. Coverage at $46/month is straightforward protection for a high-utilization vehicle.

Dodge Grand Caravan 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.
