In the warranty small print, it says things are not covered if they existed before the warranty was taken out. Which is fair enough, I could have a problem and then go out and buy a warranty to get it fixed cheaper otherwise.

But how does this affect the official Nissan extended warranty? If Nissan offer to extend the manufacturers warranty by another 12 months, does this cover problems that were known during the original warranty, or will the extended warranty still cover it?

Well if you don't have a break in the warranty it won't matter. Let Nissan have the bun fight & put your feet up.

If the fault pre-existed it should have been fixed, even if the warranty period expires they still have to fix the fault, therefore there is no falt that pre-exists to the extended warranty.

I asked this question at a Nissan stealership just yesterday and they told me that even if a warranty issue is being worked on that problem is not covered if the warranty period expires.

When was the extended warranty taken out? During the 3 year Nissan warranty or right at the end? I can't find any info about getting an extended Nissan warranty or how much it will cost.

I bought the car at 2.5 years old in March 17, with 2 years Cared4 warranty which was an extension of 18 months after the original 3 years.

A few weeks ago I got a letter from Nissan offering another years extension to the manufacturer warranty till March 2020
