As an automotive industry expert with a focus on vehicle warranties, I can provide a comprehensive answer to your question about what a Dodge bumper-to-bumper warranty covers.

A Dodge bumper-to-bumper warranty, also known as a basic limited warranty, is designed to provide comprehensive coverage for your vehicle from the moment you drive it off the lot. This type of warranty is one of the most extensive offered by automakers and covers a wide range of components and systems within the vehicle.

The bumper-to-bumper warranty typically includes coverage for:


1. Body and Paint: Any defects in the vehicle's body panels, paint, and trim that occur under normal use.

2. Interior: Issues with the vehicle's seats, carpeting, headliner, and other interior components.

3. Electrical System: Coverage for the vehicle's electrical components, including the battery, alternator, starter, and wiring.

4. Engine: Protection for the engine's internal components, ensuring that any manufacturing defects are addressed.

5. Transmission: Coverage for both automatic and manual transmissions, including the clutch in manual vehicles.

6. Drive System: This includes the protection of the vehicle's drivetrain components, such as the axles, differentials, and driveshafts.
7.
Cooling System: Coverage for the radiator, water pump, and other cooling system components.
8.
Brakes: Protection for the brake system, including pads, rotors, and calipers, against defects.
9.
Steering and Suspension: Coverage for the steering and suspension components to ensure they function properly.

Additionally, the Powertrain Limited Warranty, which is often separate from the basic limited warranty, covers the cost of repairs on all covered powertrain components. For Dodge vehicles, this includes:

- The engine, ensuring that any issues with the engine's performance or functionality are addressed.
- The transmission, which is critical for the vehicle's operation and includes both the automatic and manual systems.
- The drive system, encompassing the components that transfer power from the engine to the wheels.

It's important to note that while the 3-Year/36,000-Mile Basic Limited Warranty provides extensive coverage, there are certain limitations and exclusions. For instance, regular maintenance items such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake pad replacements are not covered. Also, any damage caused by accidents, misuse, or modifications to the vehicle will not be covered under the warranty.

To make the most of your Dodge warranty, it's essential to follow the recommended maintenance schedule outlined in your owner's manual and to have any repairs performed by an authorized Dodge dealer or service center.
