Aftermarket warranty almost up. Need advice.

Hi guys,
My aftermarket warranty is almost up and wanted to know if there is anything I should have checked out.

My 66K 06 5AT Coupe is at the dealership now getting my tire pressure sensors checked out (has been on since last heavy rain) along with a small "popping" sound when I slowly go up or down driveways. My deductible is $100 per visit.

I have already had my passenger seat replaced (bad motor) and another tire pressure sensor replaced (broken) and a window motor replaced under the warranty.

Any advice would be appreciated!

If you had the 6mt I'd say probably, but it's hard to say for the auto.
It's a crap shoot with every car.
This thread has a lot of info. https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...nty-worth.html
I guess you can get some pretty good deals on extended warranties through Courtney at Scottsdale Infiniti.
"Extended warranty" search comes up with 100s of threads.

I'd look through all the TSB's and see which ones are applicable.

Off top of my head I'd say

compression rods
possible leaking oil in coil pack
40 mph 'judder' on shifting @ ~2k rpm or uphill


Just print alot of em or have em on your phone, complain about something extraneous, and get the coupe up on a lift to inspect the hell out of the undercarriage.

Thank you Irish and S854. I will look into both of them. I do not want to miss an opportunity to save money with this already expensive "extended bumper to bumper warranty"

UPDATE:
My tire sensor was replaced under the extended warranty ($100 deductible)

The popping sound had them confused and they are now blaming it on my AFTERMARKET Hotshkis swaybars. They found another rattle and replaced one of my CATS under dealer warranty. They told me my Nissan Motorsports exhaust system is still considered "factory" or they would NOT have replaced the cat. (free)

They found my "crossmember bushings" having some future issues but the after market warranty does not cover that. I thought bumper to bumper meant exactly that. I still have to look into what a crossmember is and why it's not covered.

The dealership recommended I put my old factory sways on and bring it in again before the warranty is up... which means another $100 deductible... to figure out what the popping sound is..

Constructive opinions, thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thanks again guys!
