Helpful Tips On Purchasing A Nissan Extended Warranty

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:20:00 +0000

Helpful tips to consider when making a purchasing decision about Nissan Extended Warranty coverage for your Nissan vehicle. Is a factory backed extended warranty the best choice or would an aftermarket auto warranty fit my needs and budget?

Whenever researching an Nissan Extended Warranty, keep these helpful tips on purchasing an auto warranty in mind:

- Always ask for the actual (or sample) copy of the service agreement that you will be purchasing. This allows for you to identify items that may or may not be covered under the product.

- Always call your local ASE certified repair shop and Nissan dealership. Ask them if they accept or have had dealt with the Nissan Extended Warranty (a.k.a. extended service contract) you are considering. This will give you a good read on whether the company you are considering actually pays their claims.

- Have questions about what is covered and what is not? Call the claims number on the service agreement you requested earlier. This will allow you to see how quick and how knowledgeable the companies claim department is with its customers. Not just how quick their sales department is! If they have it, also ask for a complete list of components that are covered by the plan.

- Always check A.M. Best rating of the administrator of the product. This should be an A or better, if at all possible.

- Always check with the BBB for the rating on the seller and administrator of the product. Yes, these are often times different.

- Never purchase an Nissan extended warranty from a company that will not provide you with contact information (eg. address, phone number, etc).

Consumer Auto Warranty Quote:
"I wouldn't take a third party warranty if my life depended on it. There's nothing but horror stories everywhere, about them. I've purchased Nissan factory plans on every vehicle I've owned over the years and I can say without a doubt factory plans are the best option, if you're into purchasing these types of things" .... titanguy10

A factory-backed warranty is usually a better way to go, says Stacey Bradford an consumer action author at SmartMoney.com There are numerous reasons for agreeing with Stacey's statement here. Whether it be an independent shop or a dealer that would be working on your vehicle, they all have pre-conceived perceptions about working with an Nissan aftermarket warranty or a Nissan factory-backed plan.

Their perceptions are driven by the experience they have with the warranty companies handling of the mechanical breakdown claims. Talking with any of them would lead you to a stories about lengthy inspections, lack of full payment or lack of confidence in the ability for the consumers repair to be fully covered. Stacey further went on to say: "the factory-backed warranties come from the manufacturers themselves, [where] there's more of an incentive to keep their customers happy.

Remember - eligibility for a Nissan factory backed extended warranty (a.k.a. service contract) is available while under Nissan factory warranty for Nissan Security+Plus Gold Preferred (the best vehicle coverage that Nissan offers). Plus you may still be eligible for a Nissan Security+Plus Pre-Owned plan if you are less than 5 years and 60k miles from original purchase date. As a Nissan owner, factory backed coverage is worth consideration.

Missouri Attorney General Pursuing Scammers

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:26:00 +0000

Attorney General’s News Release

November 12, 2009
Attorney General Koster files lawsuits against six separate vehicle extended warranty companies

Kansas City, Mo. — Attorney General Chris Koster today warned consumers about new tactics businesses are using to try to trick people into purchasing bogus auto warranty products of limited value. Koster filed lawsuits against six such businesses today.

According to Koster, the businesses marketed what appeared to be “extended auto warranties” to consumers, but actually were “service contracts” or “automotive additives.” Many consumers did not realize they were not receiving auto warranties until they received the package in the mail. The companies sold the products as service contracts and auto additives with the effect of avoiding Missouri’s service contract laws, which provide some minimal protection for consumers.

Customers who purchased “service contracts” often later realized the significant limits to coverage. Many contracts contain a 30 to 90 day, 1,000 mile period during which consumers cannot make claims, because that is considered a “pre-existing condition” of the vehicle. However, the extended service contract is only fully refundable within the first 30 days. Customers asked for a cancellation or refund when they discovered the provider would not pay a claim after that initial period, but were refused refunds because they were not within the 30-day cancellation timeframe. Many of the contracts have also been promoted as extending a warranty for 7 years and 100,000 miles. These companies do not tell the consumer that the coverage may be limited to the actual cash value of the vehicle. For an older, high-mileage vehicle, the coverage may soon be less than the price paid by the consumer for the contract.

For companies using the auto additive scam, customers were sent a bottle of fluid for their car’s transmission, engine, or cooling system, with instructions to immediately add it to the vehicle. Customers were instructed to install the additive in order for the warranty to be valid. But they later were denied a refund and told the purchase is non-refundable if the product has been used. In effect, the companies encouraged consumers to use the fluids immediately, knowing that would nullify their opportunity for a refund. Many consumers did not request the additive and did not realize they would be sent this additive until they received the packet.

“These businesses are using a ‘bait and switch’ scheme and preying on consumers’ fears of not having adequate vehicle warranty coverage,” Koster said. “They lured vulnerable consumers into purchasing ‘auto warranties,’ and then switched to sell them into service contracts and auto additive warranties with inferior or negligible repair coverage, while making it almost impossible for the consumers to cancel the contract or get refunds.

“I believe this auto warranty business continues to be rife with fraud, and Missouri continues to be at the center of this deception,” Koster said. “This office will continue to pursue and prosecute businesses such as these that target unsuspecting, innocent consumers.”

Koster said the companies marketed these products using misleading letters, postcards, and telemarketing techniques, some also in violation of Missouri’s No-Call law. He said the businesses would lead consumers to mistakenly believe their current vehicle warranties were about to expire and that they would not have another opportunity to purchase an extended warranty unless they acted immediately. Many potential customers were not informed that the businesses were not affiliated with the dealership or manufacturer from whom the customers bought their vehicles.

In addition, some of the businesses sought to illegally obtain the consumer’s bank account or credit card information by misrepresenting the purpose of the information. The businesses would then cause automatic charges to consumers’ bank accounts or monthly charges to their credit cards without the consumers’ permission or knowledge.

The six businesses Koster filed suit against today are:

* National Dealers Warranty, Inc., d/b/a/ StopRepairBills.com
* Warranty Activation Headquarters, Inc., d/b/a/ Nationwide Automotive Protection
* Extended Warranty Corporation, Inc., d/b/a/ Key Protection Group
* Dealers Warranty, LLC, d/b/a/ MOGI
* U.S. Auto Warranty
* Dealer Warranty Services

Koster’s suits charge the businesses with unfair and deceptive practices violations. Some were also charged with violations of Missouri’s No-Call law. In addition, he charged National Dealers Warranty with violation of a prior Consent Judgment and Permanent Injunction issued by the Circuit Court of St. Charles County in 2008, and Warranty Activation Headquarters with violation of a prior Assurance of Voluntary Compliance approved by the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis in 2008.

Koster is asking the court to issue preliminary and permanent injunctions requiring the companies to comply with Missouri’s Merchandising Practices Act; provide full restitution to victims and to the state; and pay civil penalties and court costs.

Koster encourages consumers who have complaints about businesses selling motor vehicle extended service contracts to contact the Attorney General’s Office at ago.mo.gov or by phone calling the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection hotline at 1-800-392-8222.

Inquiries from consumers should be directed to consumer@ago.mo.gov or 1-800-392-8222 (from within Missouri) or 573-751-3321 (outside Missouri).

All media inquiries should be directed to the Press Secretary.

(d) Remedy without charge
For purposes of this section and of section 2302(c) of this title, the term ''without charge'' means that the warrantor may not assess the consumer for any costs the warrantor or his representatives incur in connection with the required remedy of a warranted consumer product. An obligation under subsection (a)(1)(A) of this section to remedy without charge does not necessarily require the warrantor to compensate the consumer for incidental expenses; however, if any incidental expenses are incurred because the remedy is not made within a reasonable time or because the warrantor imposed an unreasonable duty upon the consumer as a condition of securing remedy, then the consumer shall be entitled to recover reasonable incidental expenses which are so incurred in any action against the warrantor.

(e) Incorporation of standards to products designated with full warranty for purposes of judicial actions
If a supplier designates a warranty applicable to a consumer product as a ''full (statement of duration)'' warranty, then the warranty on such product shall, for purposes of any action under section 2310(d) of this title or under any State law, be deemed to incorporate at least the minimum requirements of this section and rules prescribed under this section.

Section 2305. Full and limited warranting of a consumer product

Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the selling of a consumer product which has both full and limited warranties if such warranties are clearly and conspicuously differentiated.

Section 2306. Service contracts; rules for full, clear and conspicuous disclosure of terms and conditions; addition to or in lieu of written warranty

(a) The Commission may prescribe by rule the manner and form in which the terms and conditions of service contracts shall be fully, clearly, and conspicuously disclosed.

(b) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent a supplier or warrantor from entering into a service contract with the consumer in addition to or in lieu of a written warranty if such contract fully, clearly, and conspicuously discloses its terms and conditions in simple and readily understood language.

Section 2307. Designation of representatives by warrantor to perform duties under written or implied warranty

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent any warrantor from designating representatives to perform duties under the written or implied warranty: Provided, That such warrantor shall make reasonable arrangements for compensation of such designated representatives, but no such designation shall relieve the warrantor of his direct responsibilities to the consumer or make the representative a co-warrantor.

Section 2308. Implied warranties

(a) Restrictions on disclaimers or modifications
No supplier may disclaim or modify (except as provided in subsection (b) of this section) any implied warranty to a consumer with respect to such consumer product if

(1) such supplier makes any written warranty to the consumer with respect to such consumer Product, or

(2) at the time of sale, or within 90 days thereafter, such supplier enters into a service contract with the consumer which applies to such consumer product.

(b) Limitation on duration
For purposes of this chapter (other than section 2304(a)(2) of this title), implied warranties may be limited in duration to the duration of a written warranty of reasonable duration, if such limitation is conscionable and is set forth in clear and unmistakable language and prominently displayed on the face of the warranty.

(c) Effectiveness of disclaimers, modifications, or limitations
A disclaimer, modification, or limitation made in violation of this section shall be ineffective for purposes of this chapter and State law.

Section 2309. Procedures applicable to promulgation of rules by Commission

(a) Oral presentation
Any rule prescribed under this chapter shall be prescribed in accordance with section 553 of title 5; except that the Commission shall give interested persons an opportunity for oral presentations of data, views, and arguments, in addition to written submissions. A transcript shall be kept of any oral presentation. Any such rule shall be subject to judicial review under section 57a(e) of this title in the same manner as rules prescribed under section 57a(a)(1)(B) of this title, except that section 57a(e)(3)(B) of this title shall not apply.

(b) Warranties and warranty practices involved in sale of used motor vehicles
The Commission shall initiate within one year after January 4, 1975, a rulemaking proceeding dealing with warranties and warranty practices in connection with the sale of used motor vehicles; and, to the extent necessary to supplement the protections offered the consumer by this chapter, shall prescribe rules dealing with such warranties and practices. In prescribing rules under this subsection, the Commission may exercise any authority it may have under this chapter, or other law, and in addition it may require disclosure that a used motor vehicle is sold without any warranty and specify the form and content of such disclosure.

Section 2310. Remedies in consumer disputes

(a) Informal dispute settlement procedures; establishment; rules setting forth minimum requirements; effect of compliance by warrantor; review of informal procedures or implementation by Commission; application to existing informal procedures

(1) Congress hereby declares it to be its policy to encourage warrantors to establish procedures whereby consumer disputes are fairly and expeditiously settled through informal dispute settlement mechanisms.

(2) The Commission shall prescribe rules setting forth minimum requirements for any informal dispute settlement procedure which is incorporated into the terms of a written warranty to which any provision of this chapter applies. Such rules shall provide for participation in such procedure by independent or governmental entities.

(3) One or more warrantors may establish an informal dispute settlement procedure which meets the requirements of the Commission's rules under paragraph (2). If -

(A) a warrantor establishes such a procedure,

(B) such procedure, and its implementation, meets the requirements of such rules, and

(C) he incorporates in a written warranty a requirement that the consumer resort to such procedure before pursuing any legal remedy under this section respecting such warranty, then

(i) the consumer may not commence a civil action (other than a class action) under subsection (d) of this section unless he initially resorts to such procedure; and

(ii) a class of consumers may not proceed in a class action under subsection (d) of this section except to the extent the court determines necessary to establish the representative capacity of the named plaintiffs, unless the named plaintiffs (upon notifying the defendant that they are named plaintiffs in a class action with respect to a warranty obligation) initially resort to such procedure. In the case of such a class action which is brought in a district court of the United States, the representative capacity of the named plaintiffs shall be established in the application of rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In any civil action arising out of a warranty obligation and relating to a matter considered in such a procedure, any decision in such procedure shall be admissible in evidence.

(4) The Commission on its own initiative may, or upon written complaint filed by any interested person shall, review the bona fide operation of any dispute settlement procedure resort to which is stated in a written warranty to be a prerequisite to pursuing a legal remedy under this section.

If the Commission finds that such procedure or its implementation fails to comply with the requirements of the rules under paragraph (2), the Commission may take appropriate remedial action under any authority it may have under this chapter or any other provision of law.

(5) Until rules under paragraph (2) take effect, this subsection shall not affect the validity of any informal dispute settlement procedure respecting consumer warranties, but in any action under subsection (d) of this section, the court may invalidate any such procedure if it finds that such procedure is unfair.

(b) Prohibited acts It shall be a violation of section 45(a)(1) of this title for any person to fail to comply with any requirement imposed on such person by this chapter (or a rule thereunder) or to violate any prohibition contained in this chapter (or a rule thereunder).

(c) Injunction proceedings by Attorney General or Commission for deceptive warranty, noncompliance with requirements, or violating prohibitions; procedures; definitions

(1) The district courts of the United States shall have jurisdiction of any action brought by the Attorney General (in his capacity as such), or by the Commission by any of its attorneys designated by it for such purpose, to restrain

(A) any warrantor from making a deceptive warranty with respect to a consumer product, or

(B) any person from failing to comply with any requirement imposed on such person by or pursuant to this chapter or from violating any prohibition contained in this chapter. Upon proper showing that, weighing the equities and considering the Commission's or Attorney General's likelihood of ultimate success, such action would be in the public interest and after notice to the defendant, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction may be granted without bond. In the case of an action brought by the Commission, if a complaint under section 45 of this title is not filed within such period (not exceeding 10 days) as may be specified by the court after the issuance of the temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction, the order or injunction shall be dissolved by the court and be of no further force and effect. Any suit shall be brought in the district in which such person resides or transacts business. Whenever it appears to the court that the ends of justice require that other persons should be parties in the action, the court may cause them to be summoned whether or not they reside in the district in which the court is held, and to that end process may be served in any district.

(2) For the purposes of this subsection, the term ''deceptive warranty'' means

(A) a written warranty which (i) contains an affirmation, promise, description, or representation which is either false or fraudulent, or which, in light of all of the circumstances, would mislead a reasonable individual exercising due care; or (ii) fails to contain information which is necessary in light of all of the circumstances, to make the warranty not misleading to a reasonable individual exercising due care; or

(B) a written warranty created by the use of such terms as ''guaranty'' or ''warranty'', if the terms and conditions of such warranty so limit its scope and application as to deceive a reasonable individual.

(d) Civil action by consumer for damages, etc.; jurisdiction; recovery of costs and expenses; cognizable claims

(1) Subject to subsections (a)(3) and (e) of this section, a consumer who is damaged by the failure of a supplier, warrantor, or service contractor to comply with any obligation under this chapter, or under a written warranty, implied warranty, or service contract, may bring suit for damages and other legal and equitable relief -

(A) in any court of competent jurisdiction in any State or the District of Columbia; or

(B) in an appropriate district court of the United States, subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection.

(2) If a consumer finally prevails in any action brought under paragraph (1) of this subsection, he may be allowed by the court to recover as part of the judgment a sum equal to the aggregate amount of cost and expenses (including attorneys' fees based on actual time expended) determined by the court to have been reasonably incurred by the plaintiff for or in connection with the commencement and prosecution of such action, unless the court in its discretion shall determine that such an award of attorneys' fees would be inappropriate.

(3) No claim shall be cognizable in a suit brought under paragraph (1)(B) of this subsection -

(A) if the amount in controversy of any individual claim is less than the sum or value of $25;

(B) if the amount in controversy is less than the sum or value of $50,000 (exclusive of interests and costs) computed on the basis of all claims to be determined in this suit; or

(e) Class actions; conditions; procedures applicable
No action (other than a class action or an action respecting a warranty to which subsection (a)(3) of this section applies) may be brought under subsection (d) of this section for failure to comply with any obligation under any written or implied warranty or service contract, and a class of consumers may not proceed in a class action under such subsection with respect to such a failure except to the extent the court determines necessary to establish the representative capacity of the named plaintiffs, unless the person obligated under the warranty or service contract is afforded a reasonable opportunity to cure such failure to comply. In the case of such a class action (other than a class action respecting a warranty to which subsection (a)(3) of this section applies) brought under subsection (d) of this section for breach of any written or implied warranty or service contract, such reasonable opportunity will be afforded by the named plaintiffs and they shall at that time notify the defendant that they are acting on behalf of the class. In the case of such a class action which is brought in a district court of the United States, the representative capacity of the named plaintiffs shall be established in the application of rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

(f) Warrantors subject to enforcement of remedies
For purposes of this section, only the warrantor actually making a written affirmation of fact, promise, or undertaking shall be deemed to have created a written warranty, and any rights arising thereunder may be enforced under this section only against such warrantor and no other person.

Section 2311. Applicability to other laws

(a) Federal Trade Commission Act and Federal Seed Act

(1) Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to repeal, invalidate, or supersede the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.) or any statute defined therein as an Antitrust Act.

(2) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to repeal, invalidate, or supersede the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. 1551 et seq.) and nothing in this chapter shall apply to seed for planting.

(2) Nothing in this chapter (other than sections 2308 and 2304(a)(2) and (4) of this title) shall (A) affect the liability of, or impose liability on, any person for personal injury, or (B) supersede any provision of State law regarding consequential damages for injury to the person or other injury.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section and in paragraph (2) of this subsection, a State requirement -

(A) which relates to labeling or disclosure with respect to written warranties or performance thereunder;

(C) which is not identical to a requirement of section 2302, 2303, or 2304 of this title (or a rule thereunder), shall not be applicable to written warranties complying with such sections (or rules thereunder).

(2) If, upon application of an appropriate State agency, the Commission determines (pursuant to rules issued in accordance with section 2309 of this title) that any requirement of such State covering any transaction to which this chapter applies

(A) affords protection to consumers greater than the requirements of this chapter and

(B) does not unduly burden interstate commerce, then such State requirement shall be applicable (notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection) to the extent specified in such determination for so long as the State administers and enforces effectively any such greater requirement.

(d) Other Federal warranty laws This chapter (other than section 2302(c) of this title) shall be inapplicable to any written warranty the making or content of which is otherwise governed by Federal law. If only a portion of a written warranty is so governed by Federal law, the remaining portion shall be subject to this chapter.

If I purchased a Nissan from a private owner, was never made aware of a Nissan Extended Waranty, can it be transfered?

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:53:00 +0000

Just a Question, if I purchased a Nissan vehicle from a private owner, and never made me aware that he/she in fact had a Nissan Security+Plus Gold Preferred on the Nissan vehicle and I did not find out till something went wrong a year later, can it still be transfered to me?

I don't see why not. However, the pre-existing repair is all on you. It is the responsibility of the buyer and seller to transfer that coverage at the point of sale. The policy in this case would have been under the previous owner.

To transfer the policy, you will need to contact the selling individual.

Obtain a Transfer Request from your dealer, and have it signed by both the current vehicle owner and the new owner. Mail this form to the address below, along with a copy of the vehicle maintenance history or a Security+Plus Inspection check sheet from your Nissan dealership. Also include any applicable transfer fee (depending on the state, in the form of a check or money order payable to Nissan North America). Allow 4-6 weeks for the transfer to take effect. A new agreement will be mailed to the new owner. Nissan North America, Inc. Vehicle Service Contracts P.O. Box 680 Gardena, CA 90247

Nissan Bumper to Bumper Warranty, is it TRUE?

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:19:00 +0000

For years consumers and auto professionals have been referencing Nissan factory warranties as "Bumper to Bumper Warranties". Is this correct?

So does any vehicle these days have a "Bumper to Bumper" warranty?

Not really. Think about the words. Bumper to Bumper implies that the factory warranty would cover everything from front to back, bottom to top of the vehicle. Like most factory warranties out there, the basic 3 year or 36,000 mile covers mechanical breakdown of all components except a very short list of excluded components. In addition, the coverage is only for repairs needed to correct defects in materials.

So what is not covered?

Damage, failures or corrosion due to accidents, environmental conditions, lack of improper maintenance, misuse or alternations; altered or uncertain odometer mileage; salvage title; maintenance service expenses; seat belts, tires, drop-in bedliners and emission control system, and nissan spray-in bedliners. Read more about what is not covered under the Nissan Factory Warranty by reading section 6 of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty in the warranty information booklet.

What legitimate warranty product exists for vehicles post 100K miles?

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:58:00 +0000

That's a tough one. The vague answer is very few. Be cautious when purchasing a plan with mileage over 100k on your odometer. Make sure you read the fine print. Most legitimate companies will ask for a vehicle inspection to clear any pre-existing conditions before selling their legitimate extended service product. Nissan does not offer such a product at this time. Expect to only have minimal coverage. Engine and Drivetrain ( Powertrain Coverage ).

POWERTRAIN FACTORY WARRANTY COVERAGE: The Nissan factory warranty powertrain coverage period is 60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. This Nissan warranty covers any repairs needed to correct defects in materials or workmanship. Nisan powertrain warranty coverage applies to components listed in the warranty information booklet, supplied by Nissan except for those items listed under the caption "WHAT IS NOT COVERED" by the Nissan factory warranty

Nissan posts Year over Year increase in Sales

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 03:16:00 +0000

Nissan Security+Plus

noreply@blogger.com (Nissan Warranty) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:41:00 +0000

Nissan Security+Plus is commonly referred to as a Nissan Extended Warranty. However, truly the Nissan Security+Plus is not a Nissan warranty at all. It is a service contract that picks up where your Nissan factory warranty left off. Even better! Complimenting your Nissan by providing much more covereage that starts when your Nissan hits the road and extends your coverage (even after your Nissan warranty expires) for years to come.
