Hi Guys,

newbie here, i bought a nissan pathfinder 05 LE with 45k mi. last week and was upsell by the dealer to get the Nissan extended warranty.(Securty+Plus Pre-owned Preffered)

i would like to know if any of the memebrs here has a good/bad experience of this kind of warranty from Nissan? they say i can bring it to any Nissan Autorized Service Center

will i be better off with other? like warranty direct?


Thanks a lot and more power to the group.

Derrick

That Nissan extended warranty they offered you (Securty+Plus Pre-owned Preffered) hardly covers anything! Us techs at the dealership call this warranty the "cheapass" warranty. Don't get this one!!!

Thanks for the reply, can you recommend what other type of warranty should i get from nissan?

The top 2 warranties:
Security Plus Gold
Security Plus Gold Preferred

These 2 just about cover everything on the vehicle, except wear and tear items. Btw, these 2 warranties cost a bit more and you can choose the deductible you wanna pay.

is this applicable to a pre-owned car?

I tried to go to nissan extended warranty website and they dont offer it for a pre-owned car with 46k miles

They sold me a warranty just like this you speak of. It has $0 deductible and covers everything on the car except wear and tear items. I cant remember the specific name of it. But, it was around 1600 extra.

Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned Preferred Warranty Coverage

As long as your Nissan has less than 60,000 miles on the odometer or the in service date is not greater than 5 years, your eligible for a Nissan factory backed extended service contract. Namely Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned plans... Here is the info...

Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned Preferred coverage extends to 1,440 components of your Nissan vehicle's mechanical performance. Pre-Owned Preferred provides superior features with ultimate protection for your Nissan. Please refer to the Component Coverage detail below for specific areas of coverage. You may also download a sample service agreement or component coverage chart for a complete listing of what is covered with Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned Preferred.

I kinda thought I was ripped off when I bought an extended warranty from VehicleOne. I bought the Premium package that includes the "Tech Package"...so far it has almost already paid for itself because I am having to have the factory Bose amp replaced and it is covered under warranty. I do have to pay a $200 deductible but that is pale in comparison of what I would have had to pay with labor and parts in finding that this was the issue with my radio. So so far I would say that this is worth the $1200, especially since it does cover wear and tear and I am sure I will need that some time soon...

These plans are just like insurance...you hope you never use it, but when something fails...you're happy that you have coverage. As long as you get a good price on a Security+Plus plan it's a good idea to be covered, right?

Don't bother getting the warranty. I reported a problem to my dealer, within the basic warranty period. The problem was an acknowledged Nissan manufacturing defect (rust on rear hatch handle on Nissan X-Trails and Pathfinders). I wasn't able to get coverage under the basic warranty, nor under the extended warranty (which is still in effect). While I love the Nissan products (I have a 2002 Maxima and a 2005 X-Trail, both bought new), I am thoroughly disenchanted with Nissan Canada's warranty service.
If you want to learn more about my issue, look at my thread: Do a search of this website for my username (Sailorguy) to find the thread.
Good luck!
