For a Nissan, the basic warranty gives coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The powertrain warranty lasts 5 years or 60,000 miles. A powertrain warranty covers the major mechanical components while a basic warranty covers almost everything (except wear and tear parts). Once these warranties both expire, the vehicle owner is likely to need an extended warranty to prevent high automotive repair bills. In many cases, a vehicle owner discovers quickly that one repair could cost more than the cost of the extended warranty. This is the reason that extended warranties are popular among vehicle owners today.

Your Nissan warranty requires that you properly maintain your vehicle according to the details outlined in your owner's manual. However, most car owners have misconceptions about proper vehicle maintenance. It's not surprising, since the technological advances in vehicles have changed drastically over the last ten years. For accurate information regarding preventative maintenance on your Nissan, review your owner's manual. By doing small things on a regular basis, like oil changes, filter changes, tire checks, you can avoid the need for repairs.
The warranty on your Nissan vehicle requires that all repairs be completed by a franchised Nissan dealership. This ensures the highest quality of workmanship for your particular vehicle. It is important to ask questions of your mechanic if you do not understand something. More importantly, find out if you need to bring in your vehicle for a "checkup" after a certain amount of time. The Nissan dealerships use new parts, refurbished, used, and also repaired parts. In an emergency situation, it is possible to have warranty work done outside of a dealership.
It is best to have accessories and upgraded parts or components installed directly from your Nissan dealer. This will ensure that your Nissan warranty is not voided for aftermarket parts. Aftermarket components are not covered by your Nissan warranty.
