What Warranty Coverage Comes with a Certified Pre-Owned Dodge Durango?

Every Certified Pre-Owned Dodge Durango carries a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty measured from the vehicle’s original in-service date, paired with a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care limited warranty that begins on the date of the certified purchase or when the remaining 3-year/36,000-mile Basic New Vehicle Warranty expires. Program benefits also include 24-hour towing and roadside assistance, a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report with the CARFAX® Buyback Guarantee™, and an introductory 3-month subscription to SiriusXM® Satellite Radio.

That factory-backed coverage is what separates a certified Durango from an ordinary used three-row SUV. The two warranties divide the work like this:

Powertrain Limited Warranty

• Term: 7 years / 100,000 miles
• Starts: Original in-service date
• Covers: Engine, transmission, driveline
• Deductible: $100 per covered repair visit

Maximum Care Coverage

• Term: 3 months / 3,000 miles
• Starts: Certified purchase date, or expiration of the remaining 3/36 Basic New Vehicle Warranty
• Covers: More than 5,000 components, bumper to bumper
• Deductible: $100 per covered repair visit

The powertrain warranty covers repair or replacement of most major powertrain components, including the engine, the transmission, and the driveline. Maximum Care coverage works as bumper-to-bumper protection across more than 5,000 components.

Roadside coverage runs concurrently with the warranty. The 24-hour “Sign and Go” program covers up to $100 per occurrence and includes towing, flat-tire service, battery jump-starts, lockout service, and gas delivery. Any expense beyond $100 per occurrence is the owner’s responsibility at the time and site of service.

How Thorough Is the Dodge CPO Inspection, and When Does Coverage Start?

A Dodge Durango must pass a 125-point inspection and a reconditioning process using Authentic Mopar® Parts to earn Certified Pre-Owned status. The 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty begins on the vehicle’s original in-service date — the day it was first sold new — while the 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care warranty takes effect on the certified purchase date or at the expiration of the remaining 3-year/36,000-mile Basic New Vehicle Warranty.

To qualify for certification, a pre-owned Durango must be under five model years old and show fewer than 75,000 miles on the odometer. The inspection covers:

• Under-hood: engine oil condition, transmission fluid quality, cooling system pressure, battery health, belt integrity
• Underbody and mechanical: suspension struts, steering rack components, exhaust systems, driveshafts, brake pad thickness
• Safety and body: airbag deployment history, frame structure, panel alignment, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection
• Interior and electrical: Uconnect® responsiveness, instrument cluster gauges, power seat adjusters, climate control function

Any part that fails to meet factory standards is repaired or replaced before the vehicle is certified, and all open safety recalls must be completed before a certified vehicle is listed or sold.

What Do Certified Pre-Owned Dodge Durango Models Cost?

Certified Durango pricing moves with model year, trim, mileage, equipment, and condition, and it moves often enough that any figure printed here would be stale within weeks. GT models with the V6 sit at the accessible end of the range, R/T and 392 models with V8 power command a premium, and SRT® Hellcat examples sit higher still on collector demand.

The practical answer is to compare live listings. Our certified inventory usually spans several model years at once, so the same nameplate can appear at very different price points depending on age and mileage. Bear in mind that the lineup changed for 2026, so a trim name alone no longer tells you which engine is underneath — our 2026 Dodge Durango trim lineup walks through the current configurations if you are cross-shopping new against certified.

Can You Negotiate CPO Prices or Certify a Used Durango?

Asking prices on Certified Pre-Owned Durango models are open to negotiation based on current market data, mileage, cosmetic condition, and trade-in value. A few things strengthen your position:

• Compare local listings for matching model years, mileage bands, and engine configurations
• Weigh the 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care coverage against a non-certified equivalent
• Review the vehicle history report for ownership and maintenance records

If a non-certified Durango meets the criteria — under five model years old, under 75,000 miles — our team can evaluate it for certification. Upgrading involves completing the 125-point inspection, resolving any open safety recalls, and finishing required mechanical reconditioning.

Financing a Certified Pre-Owned Durango in Victorville

Our finance center works with multiple lenders to structure terms across a range of credit profiles, and all credit is accepted. Commuters driving Bear Valley Road between Victorville and Hesperia often point to predictable ownership costs as the reason they shop certified rather than straight used. A covered powertrain takes the largest unknown out of a used-vehicle budget.

Common Questions About Certified Pre-Owned Dodge Durango Ownership

What components are excluded from the Maximum Care warranty?

Wear-and-tear items — brake pads, brake shoes, tires, wiper blades, clutch discs — and routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations are excluded. Exterior body panels, seat upholstery, trim pieces, and glass are treated as wear or cosmetic items and are not covered.

Is the Dodge Certified Pre-Owned warranty transferable to a second buyer?

Transferability depends on the plan and on the state. Stellantis’ published Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle terms state that the plans cover only the first CPOV owner and are not transferable except in Florida and North Carolina. Ask our sales team to confirm what applies to the specific vehicle you are considering before assuming coverage will follow a private sale.

What should I ask for when a Durango is listed as certified?

Ask to review the completed 125-point inspection checklist, the CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, and written documentation of the exact start date and remaining mileage on the 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. If the Durango you like is not currently listed as certified, ask whether it meets factory guidelines to go through the certification process.

Does Dodge CPO include roadside assistance and rental coverage?

Yes. Every certified Dodge includes 24-hour towing and roadside assistance running concurrently with the warranty, covering up to $100 per occurrence for towing, flat-tire service, battery jump-starts, lockout service, and gas delivery. If a covered repair keeps the vehicle overnight, Stellantis reimburses up to $35 per day for a rental vehicle, to a $175 maximum per occurrence.
