thanks, got it. just didn't see that pricing so wasn't sure where he got it from but found it is a "special" that is not listed on their quote site.

This is very helpful!!! Thank you!!

The promo code of $365 off using "PAYINFULL" is still valid.

It is? Didn’t realize that. I just went to the site and searched based on warranty type and length. Glad you could find it.

Any major exclusions?

I have the Nissan factory extended warranty, when I read the fine print I saw that things like adaptive cruise, GPS, etc. were excluded. However after reading this thread, I do wonder if perhaps it is a “fake” factory product seeing as how some folks said that Nissan dealer is no longer sell the factory product. It did come from a reputable source, says Nissan on it, and has the Nissan phone number/address

As AdamChandler said the Mopar ESP lists what is/is not covered. I posted my ESP contract in post #121 (https://5thgenrams.com/community/th...ry-extended-warranty.28851/page-7#post-434634).

 

[User_3336]

Don't know if you saw my prior post, if you're ok with a MaxCare 6/60/200, I got mine about three weeks ago for $745 (using the PAIDINFULL code).
Something to think about.

Cheers,

its "PAYINFULL"

If you are tough on vehicles or plan on a lot modifications you will want to read the ESP exceptions before purchasing. Even if you have MOPAR parts (e.g. MOPAR 2" lift) it has to have been installed by a dealership to meet the letter of the law.

Everything has some flexibility based on what the dealership thinks they can get re-imbursed for (aka "spirit" of the law).

That goes for the basic warranty also, just the other way. The basic warranty covers repairs unless it was done from abuse, neglect, etc., where with the ESP the dealership needs verify it's covered in the ESP before they will bill Stellantis instead of you.

I called Ziegler and very specifically asked if an LED headlight or taillight assembly was covered (close to $1000 value.) Due to the language in the ESP under “what is covered” and for the headlights and taillights it says something along the lines of “Headlight Module” But nothing about the entire assembly. Answer: as long as it was mechanical failure, YES... otherwise, NO as it is considered a wear item. Sooo, follow up question was, how do I know if it was failure or wear? She wasn’t too sure but it sounded like getting them to replace an LED assembly under the ESP was going to be a fight. That factored into my decision to not go through with the ESP at the time. If the LED assembly replacement was questionable, what else will they fight you on? I feel that these are valid questions one should be asking themselves before blindly paying for an ESP expecting that “it’s peace of mind and covers everything.”

That is a great question. Would love to get a definitive answer. On my Infiniti, a $1000 headlight was covered via warranty. But when I read the fine print, a motorized headlight should be excluded.

It does not cover bulbs, LED or otherwise. It does cover electrical failure. It will be up to your dealer to find the cause. It covers most things but not all things.

 

[brian42]

The LED lights seem to be part of the "spirit of the law" I mentioned earlier.

A lot will depend on the dealer as it ultimately lies with them to have the confidence to bill FCA and get paid under the ESP.

I don't have aspirations of major modifications so I look at it like this: I'm not young, I take good care of the truck, and I have a good relationship with my local service department. If there's a huge chunk missing from the light then I'll probably have to eat the cost but if the light looks in good condition but doesn't turn on then I think I have a good case for "electrical failure".

There's a lot of other high dollar repair items on this truck that I feel comfortable banking on a major issue to rear it's ugly head before 2026 (when my ESP ends). Even if the parts are not that expensive the labor cost to replace it doesn't go down based on the value of the part. My last truck had plenty of parts under $100 that I replaced but was labor-intensive for interference removal and replacement.

I'm more than happy to cough up $3000 early in ownership to enjoy the comfort that any major repair won't cost me over $100 for the next 5 years. YMMV

Well, that’s what I thought too.. until the whole LED discussion came along. If it is indeed under “spirit of the law” and I can’t find a dealer who will honor that spirit... I’m out almost $1000 on the LED assembly. Plus the $1500 or so I shelled out for the now worthless ESP that won’t cover an expensive item. Not a win/win in my book and it throws a lot of the ”peace of mind” theory out the window. Where is the peace of mind if we’re going to have to fight for certain items that fall under spirit of the law or goodwill?
As long as there are expensive items that the ESP won’t cover or are left to the dealership’s/FCA’s interpretation, that’s a lot of money that potentially goes out the window.

I guess what I’m getting at is this... Why can’t there be an ESP that covers the **SAME EXACT THINGS** as the factory 3/36 warranty? I’d GLADLY shell out $1500 for that... That is true “peace of mind.”

I don't have LED's, so no worries!

You are on the "blacklist" for buying and returning ESPs! LOL

Point taken sir... Well in the end I’d rather be a dumbass and buy/return after finding stuff out I didn’t like, than being stuck with it and losing $$$. As of right now I’m not 100% sure of what exactly the ESP covers and what it does not - obviously, despite it all being in writing, apparently there are some items that are left to the dealers or FCA’s discretion and that is No Bueno.
