I know the brake rotors are covered until the 3y/36k warranty. but i bought the extended warranty, something like 7y/80k. my 2000 max has about 52k on it and the brakes started to shake really bad. took it to the dealer the other day, the service manager told me the exteded warranty does not cover brakes!!!!!!!!! what should i do?
thanks guys.

 

Man I went through hell with my stock rotors and Nissan Service too But that's when the car was still new approx 8,000-10,000 miles old. I don't think that they cover it past 36K miles though. Then again I could be wrong.

 

Nissan service sucks]

 

You are correct. Brakes are covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.

 

Time for an upgrade...
Someone was selling brembo, x-drilled/slotted rotors for a decent price last week.. It might still be available.. Check the parts for sale forum..

 

You need to read the booklet that came with the extended warranty.

It should list the parts covered.

Most extended warranties do not cover "wear" or maintence items such as brakes, tires, plugs, etc...The extended warranties are not as bumper to bumper as the dealers make them sound!

If its in the warranty booklet, they HAVE to fix it!

Or as RBa said, time for a brake upgrade!

 

Brake rotors are only covered for the 1st 12k of the cars life. That's it. No more warranty coverage for wear and tear parts after that.

 

No they aren't. Read the owners manual. Brakes are a wear and tear item, covered for the 1st 12k or 1 year.

 

If getting them serviced under the brake judder TSB, the TSB specifically states the repairs are covered under the 3year/36K warranty coverage.

I got my 2k1 brakes serviced, at 26,000 or so, under the TSB and warranty

If the TSB doesn't apply, though, you are right.

My dealer wouldn't fix the rotors on my 2k1 max. I only have 16000 miles on my car. I pleaded with the sales manager and he said only the first 12000 miles will they do anything under warrenty. Time to take it to another dealer.

 

Get a copy of the TSB... it's available through the "Technical Service Bulletin Inside" sticky... show it to him if he objects.

Well I have a copy of the TSB... Looks like the TSB is technically only good for 2000 maximas.

 

NO!! I missed that! Well... my dealer did the work on mine. could it be built in 2000? as mine was.

If not... well, I guess I got one for a change!

Finally... you might also be able to make a point that rotors aren't a "wear item" while allowing pads are. If he will do the rotor work, you pay for the pads. An idea, if it works.

Finally... if you routinely operate at and brake hard from high speeds (100+, say. no lectures) you'd probably benefit from aftermarket rotors as the Maxima stock rotors seem to be prone to warping, even with great treatment.

I have a 2000 Maxima with 33,000 miles on it and I just got my rotors resurfaced for free last week. Take in a copy of the TSB and they can't argue with that. I have to say I was dealing with a good service dept. though. I'm getting my new Bose stereo tomorrow too!

 

i have a 2k max with 52k miles on it and it is the 2nd time in about 6k miles that the rotars warped... IM GOING TO KILL NISSAN SERVICE... They say that it is all my fault and that my extended wrntty. doesn't cover it.

IM SO ****ED. i need stillen rotars

 

 

What was that for?

 

Because I felt like it.

 

that's just Russ' way of saying "ooops, guess I was wrong"

 

Can you provide a link to the TSB? Greatly appreciated.
