QualityGuard+plus warranty from Nissan

[robert_4.5_S]

 When I purchased Infiniti m45 in may last year I also bought quality guard plus warranty from Nissan Dealer ( at that Time I didnt Know about Elite warranty fro Infiniti). I took the car to infiniti because my passanger window was opening/closing slowly. They told me its not cover under this warranty. Right now i have big problem with oil. The engine consumes a lot of oil. During start ups, the blue smoke comes from exhaust. I want to go to the Dealer and have Them change oil and perform a oil burn test But i dont Know where i should go. Should I go to Infiniti Dealer with this warranty or just go straight to Nissan (place where i bought car and warranty)?? Does anyone Know if engine replacement is covered under this warranty??? Any advice will be helpfull.

Robert,

What year is your M? The powertrain coverage is for 72 months/70,000 miles--Infiniti should cover that assuming it fails the oil consumption test

I purchased a Mechanical Protection Plan Execu-Care extended coverage plan from a Nissan dealership where i got my car from, before i knew about the Elite Infiniti one. According to the claim procedures in my booklet, and I quote:

CLAIM PROCEDURES:

1. Return YOUR VEHICLE to the dealership from whom YOU purchased this agreement or notify the administrator as soon as possible and obtain approval for an AUTHORIZED repair facility. If the FAILURE occurs during the WARRANTY period, YOUR VEHICLE must be returned to a dealership that sells the same vehicle make

WRT whether an engine consumption issue is covered by your warranty, you should examine your warrantly coverage. Fortunately for me, my warranty policy tells me "what is not covered," which I have heard is better for the owner compared to policies that tell you "what is covered"

my policy won't cover certain wear and tear items like brake pads, lining and shoes, wheel balancing, and body parts/bits-weather stripping, moldings, body panels, etc.
my policy also won't cover costs under any warranty period of the manufacturer (regardless of whether or not the warranty was revoked for any reason whatsoever or whether or not the manufacturer is still doing business)

basically it's best to follow what it states in your warranty policy details so that they can't deny your claim for some bullsh*t reason because you didn't follow the instructions to the letter.

don't know if this helps you at all, gl with the car

Well i have 2006 Infiniti. I thought powertrain was for 4 years/60000 miles. If the powertrain warranty is for 7 years/70000 miles then i think I' ll go to Infiniti dealer and have Them do the oil burn test. Thanks for help

Hey pedsemdoc, how is that MPP warranty working out for you. Debating between the Infiniti warranty and that one. The MPP is cheaper for me by 400 dollars.

tacomaguy,

don't know what the infiniti elite warranty covers--seems like everything as well, based on what members have posted.

i've been pretty lucky thus far...no warranty issues (had the gas tank prob on one fill up, but hasn't occurred again so didn't need to get that looked at) knock on wood...

we'll see what happens when and if-- something breaks, would have to bring it back to Grapevine Nissan, or else call and see if they'll authorize the diagnostic stuff and repair at Grubbs or Sewell.

thinking about just having a code puller for the homestead (when i get a new iphone, i'll prolly buy a bluetooth OBD II connector and get a car diagnostic app) vs UpRev cipher

Well I was debating with myself about extending the warranty. I currently have the certified preowned warranty which expires in two weeks. Well I took my car in for an ATF flush two days ago and turns out I had a leak in the steering and would have cost me 1600 dollars to replace if I didn't have my warranty. So out the door 50 dollars for the repair because of the warranty. And I had to do a repair previously for the fuel gauge misreading what was in the tank. Don't know how much that repair would have been but probably expensive. Both of those repairs convinced me to purchase the extended warranty now. It appears that even at 80,000 miles I can purchase a mpp warranty 3yr, 36,000 miles. They have the bronze, silver, gold, and premium. It looks like I can get the premium for 1625 through my local infiniti dealership. I'm going for it.
