Dodge has announced a new three-year/36,000-mile free maintenance program for two model-year 2011 vehicles. It's only included on the top-of-the-line 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel, which starts at $42,645, and the Dodge Journey Lux, which costs a minimum of $33,490.
The "No-cost Maintenance Plus" program means owners won't pay for oil changes or any scheduled or recommended vehicle maintenance during the coverage period. Additionally, the plan covers the first $100 of any roadside assistance fees, and provides trip interruption protection should the vehicle break down more than 100 miles from the owner's home. If the failure was caused by something covered under the vehicle warranty, owners can receive up to $1000 to cover the cost of food, hotels, or car rentals due to the delay.
Other manufacturers offering free maintenance programs with new vehicles include Cadillac, BMW, Jaguar, Lincoln, Toyota and Scion, Volvo, and Volkswagen.
