My guys, My 05 Z has 37,061 miles on it and has bubbling door handle problem on both driver and passenger side. The dealer ship that I took my car said they will not cover it because the car is out of warranty , but isn't there a goodwill clause or something for this??? Is there a Nissan phone number I can call?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!

 

Out of Warranty? When did you buy the car? Its a 3 year, you should be good until 2008. Even if you bought the car in December 2004 you should be covered until Dec 2007.

 

i guess once over 36k miles, pumper to pumper warranty is history.

 

yeah, over the 36,000mi limit.

 

3 yr. 36,000 whichever comes 1st.

 

I am going to assume this problem was evident prior to the last 1061 miles? The time to start looking at possible warranty items starts at 35,000 miles so you make sure it is covered. You can't give Nissan even the hint of a loophole, they are the absolute pros at getting out of warranty work. Goodwill clause? Yeah right!

 

Thats right, forgot about the whole 36K... Buy the extended Warranty?

 

Okay, I give. What's a bubbling door handle?

 

Bad paint. Not a common problem, but I have heard of it.

 

jus best 2 go 2 a local body shop, and have them paint it

 

just find someone with an extended warranty or still under warranty. nearby would be best. switch them out and have them take their car to the dealership and get new ones for you. stealerships like to fukc you so you gotta learn how to fukc them

 

The warranty is what it is. Of course you can contact Nissan, but they will tell you the same.

 

And while your at it get them painted to match your body color

 

Thats a good idea

thought about this too.

 

It's not paint. The door handles are plastic with a thin aluminum laminate on them. The adhesive on the laminate is failing, causing the bubbling. My '06 is also doing this.

 

Perhaps a perfect opportunity to make your car look a lil bit different, starting with the door handles.

 

Can someone post a pic or two of what this looks like?
