car warranty question need some help.......?

ok heres the deal.. i bought a focus from a nissan dealership in houston, tx.

car had 30,000 miles when bought.

ford factory warranty is 3 years/36000 miles bumper to bumper

i bought the extended warranty on it which i got the deluxe warranty(keep in mind from a nissan dealership) n deductible is $50

the extended warranty from nissan is 60months/99,989 miles

and right now has 40900 miles on it and the transmission feels like it is starting to go out. and my o2 sensor is out which i know isnt covered.

ok the guy from a nissan dealership in houston said that i could take it to any nissan dealership and should be fixed with the warranty. i live in ft worth area.

so will the nissan dealership still fix the transmission on the car with the $50 deductible.. i really dont get all that warranty stuff please help

    if you bought an extended warranty for a Ford from a Nissan dealer, what you bought is an aftermarket warranty. coverages range greatly with the aftermarkets compared to the factory extended warranties. If the warranty is backed by Nissan at all (which I doubt) then what they told you is probably true. However, any car dealership that has worked with that aftermarket warranty in the past, should be able to get your work taken care of with your deductible. They will have to diagnose the issue and contact the aftermarket company for approval before the repair is made. In some cases they will send out an adjuster, like an insurance claim, to evaluate the repair and decide as well if it is covered or not. You might be responsible for the diagnosis time until they get approval.

    What you need to do is go to the dealership and give them all your information on the policy and let them know what you need and they should be able to walk you through it.

    Feel free to email me for more info or with other questions.

    What you bought is really an insurance policy and any dealership that works with the company that owns the policy can fix the car with the deductible. Call the warranty company and see what dealerships in your area take that warranty

    yes it should pay any covered parts that is listed - also check exclusions to make sure - gaskets and fluid are covered as well
