* Original purchase date: The warranty clock starts ticking from the date the vehicle was first sold.
* Original mileage: Many warranties have mileage limitations in addition to time limits.
* Whether the warranty was extended: The original warranty might have been extended by the dealership or through a separate purchased plan.
* Previous ownership and maintenance: Some warranties may be voided if proper maintenance wasn't performed.
The original powertrain warranty from Chrysler (Jeep's parent company at that time) likely covered a specific period (e.g., 3 years/36,000 miles or longer, depending on the specific trim and any available extended warranties purchased by the original owner). It is almost certainly expired by now for a 2006 vehicle.
To find out what, if any, remaining warranty coverage might exist, you would need to:
* Consult the original owner's manual: This document should specify the original warranty terms.
* Check the vehicle's history report: A vehicle history report (from Carfax or AutoCheck) might note any extended warranties that were purchased.
* Contact a Jeep dealership: They may be able to access information about the vehicle's warranty history based on the VIN.
In short, don't expect any remaining factory drivetrain warranty on a 2006 Jeep Wrangler.
