This Time the Extended Warranty was Worth the $$$

I have a 2K Max Icelandic White. I purchased it March 00 and I have 95k on it. Today it's back in the shop for more repairs. I had it in on Oct.11 for a rear axle replacement. I found out there was a problem when I slid around my garage floor from the fluid that was leaking from the bearings. I also had a loose brake clip in the rear brake assembly...or something like that...(I don't understand a lot about cars) Anyway, the dealer said they had to replace both sides...so they ended up replacing the whole thing the cost was $890 but I paid only $50.00 and I purchased the extended warranty (which I usually don't) Also while I was there they found a slit in my left cv boot so I had that replaced and unforunately I had to pay for that repair. Anyway, days later I began hearing noise in the front which sounds like the cv bearings rubbing together so I took it back. They found out my struts are bad...so here I go again...the extended warranty to the rescue. I'll pay another $50 bucks. I have about 5k let on my warranty...do you think I should have the dealership look for anything else that is covered by the warranty and have it fix? I purchase the car brand new and the only thing I've really disliked the whole time is the honking brake noise I get from the rotor....it does this periodically even after I've had the brakes serviced or replaces...it's always the right front making the noise. This is actually the second Maxima I've had the 1st one I kept for about 3 days (dealer had the bring it back if you ain't happy deal) Anyway, the 1st one would pull to the right and my steering wheel would shake whenever I stopped from 45mph or more ....anyway, I kept that one just over the weekend after purchasing it.

@ Y2KMaxGXE-R I don't want to sell it. I don't want a car note right now. And besides with all the work that's been done recently...I should be able to get another 100k out of it before I really will have to get another car. I might just go back to Honda or perhaps I might stay with Nissan and try a PathFinder the next time.
