Another thing to consider is PRECISELY WHAT is covered. There was a person on the Maxima board who had an extended highest level NISSAN warranty and eventualy had a problem with the power driver seat. This was a common defect on the early sixth generation MAX (mine broke as well) and he just assumed it would be covered by this warranty.

Guess what - there was an extensive list of items covered by the various warranties available online and I gave it a close perusal. NO MENTION of power driver's seat. Seemed like everything else was there, but not that.

I don't know about Toyota's "Gold" warranty, but in the case of Nissan, it is NOT merely an extension of the original "bumper-to-bumper" concept, would WOULD have covered that driver's seat.

Shame on Nissan for that.

If the TCH has been around long enough for common "down the road" problems to have surfaced, maybe a list should be compiled to check it against what the Toyota Gold covers.
