Is an extended warranty worth it/ how reliable is the G37S sedan?
#31
I bought my car about a year and a half ago CPO and opted for the warranty. Everything I read at the time said these were reliable cars and I likely wouldn't use it. I've only put about 12k on it since I got it, but I have yet to use the warranty still. Honestly I paid too much for it, but I still think it's worth it. It's better to have it and not use it, then need it and not have it. Just a few issues will add up way over the price of your warranty, so I'd say go for it.

Bought my car new in 2011. Sunroof drains replaced last month, carpet pulled to get the water out of the passenger footwell. Cost me $2,200 and the tech kindly gouged the paint on the door jambs and plastic surrounds when removing the seats. Happened just as I was preparing for a trip. Dealer knows I'm coming back to have this addressed. The A/C quit, too. Their quick-fix of evacuate and refill didn't completely fix the problem.
Up until this last visit, I was satisfied with my dealer's service. Now, an extended warranty looks like it would have paid itself back.

I have an Elite warranty and had a sensor go at 22K miles. It would have cost me $2500 to fix, but the warranty took care of it. Also I had a seat issue, and while it took quite a bit of complaining, after 4 visits, Infiniti said OK. It would have set me back $4000! So, I'm happy. I have a 2012 G37x.

I bought the extended warranty but haven't hit four years yet on my 2013...however so far they have fixed a bad front wheel bearing, power steering reservoir, Replaced front windshield, replaced battery and even replaced interior door trim all free of charge.
Hate to think this car has lots of problems, but they have stood behind all problems with the vehicle so far. However, they ALWAYS mention any aftermarket upgrade I have done like somehow it will be the source of a future problem...every time I go in they say my Hotchkiss sway bars squeak and recently that my rear tires are too big (275/35). I reminded them that the rear tires are actually the same height if not a tad lower than the OEM tires.
Be warned, they will do their best to criticize anything you do to make the car better than stock But I love the sway bars and fat tires in the rear...

Why did you need a new engine? How many miles?

So far my extended warranties seem to be paying off. I bought a tire and wheel warranty a little over a week ago and late this week I got a flat tire.
My comprehensive warranty had its 1st claim yesterday from a CE light that turned out to be a MAF sensor. At least, I hope that is all it is. I have had that warranty just over a month.
