I hope it doesn't end up costing you a lot of money.

Good luck.

Too bad it's not on the Armada, because Nissan would replace everything for free.

Of course I just saw this thread, but my immediate guess was that it was a heat-related issue. Anyhow, good luck.

sounds like a good time to ditch the car and buy a CX-9

Just out of curiousity, how many miles does the Touring have on it?

80k. Until today, on the original calipers at all four corners. I'm not positive which one was stuck (yet), but If I had to guess, it's the front right.

I expect the caliper to be covered. We'll see about pads/rotors when they call back...

If I only knew someone that wanted to buy a 325xiT with a stick and no moonroof. ;)

How does it get covered? Is it cpo?

Left front on the spousal unit's SpeedWagon, and at about 50k miles.

I think the difference shows the earlier additional maintenance that AT equipped cars require as compared to their MT siblings.

That, and maybe my 110 pound wife has a heavier than necessary brake-foot. :irate:

Before the factory warranty expired, I bought a policy with Warranty Direct that went out to 100k miles or 4 years from the end of the factory warranty.

My experience with them has been mixed. They haven't paid for everything that I would have wanted them to, but it has more than paid for itself (even if I'd done all the repairs myself) and there's still a year or 20k miles left.

I almost bought their coverage when my s4 avant was running out of warranty (then I sold the car). Let us know how it goes...
