Chrysler Extended Warranty: Pacifica and 300 Coverage

Common Chrysler Repair Costs

Chrysler Pacifica and 300 models share many components with Dodge and Jeep, making their failure patterns and repair costs similar to those platforms.

• Pentastar 3.6L timing chain and tensioner: $1,200 to $2,500
• Pentastar 3.6L water pump (inside timing cover): $800 to $1,500
• 8-speed automatic transmission service or rebuild: $2,500 to $5,000
• Pacifica sliding door motor and rail: $400 to $1,000 per door
• Uconnect infotainment system replacement: $600 to $1,500

Chrysler Pacifica Extended Warranty

The Pacifica is America's best-selling minivan and Chrysler's primary volume model. Sliding door motor failures, Pentastar V6 timing chain concerns, and Uconnect issues are the most common out-of-warranty repairs. The Pacifica Hybrid adds a plug-in hybrid system with a 16 kWh battery pack -- a significant cost to cover if not under warranty.

• Pacifica Hybrid battery pack: $5,000 to $10,000 out of warranty
• Pacifica Hybrid electric motor: $3,000 to $6,000
• Sliding door track and motor replacement: $400 to $1,000 per side
• 3.6L Pentastar timing chain: $1,200 to $2,500

Chrysler 300 Extended Warranty

The Chrysler 300 is a large rear-wheel drive sedan that has remained largely unchanged since 2011. Its longevity means many 300 owners are seeking extended warranty coverage for aging vehicles. The 3.6L Pentastar and optional 5.7L HEMI are both known quantities at high mileage, with the HEMI's MDS system carrying the same failure risks as in Dodge products.

• 300 5.7L HEMI MDS lifter failure: $2,500 to $5,000
• 300 3.6L Pentastar timing chain: $1,200 to $2,500
• 8HP70 automatic transmission: $3,500 to $5,500
• Electronic stability control module: $600 to $1,200
