Before you pluck down your hard earned money and by a extended warranty from Warranty Direct, ask the sales person about water and your parts on the car that wear out. If this person tells you that your repair bill will be paid no matter what the cause, he is lieing to you and they will RIP YOU OFF!!!!! Once they get your money, it is all over for you. Guaranteed!

With most of these warranty companies or insurance companies, all they say that is covered, will be covered as long as you keep tour vehicle in the garage. As soon as it rains or you wash your car, the water will void the coverage on any part that breaks or wears out. The salesman at WARRANTY DIRECT told me everything is covered no matter what. Well guess what? The car is outside exposed to rain,snow,sleet and ice. These are the elements that caused the breakdown. WARRANTY DIRECT will not--NOT pay for it. Don't buy from WARRANTY DIRECT..

Take a different perspective. Consider things from a financial angle. If you can write a check for a $2000 repair any anytime without financial hardship then perhaps you should take your chances and self insure. If an unexpected repair bill would kibosh your summer vacation plans then seriously consider the factory backed warranty.

I have a problem - please someone help.
Here I go - I purchased an extended warranty and never used it. I have all the documentation along with the signature from dealer and myself to get my money back if I do not use it, which I have not. It is 7 yr. or 100,000 mile.
Now, I go to the dealer to get what is called " Guaranteed Price Refund". Dealer/Finance Manager both said good luck. API went bankrupted and your not getting any money at all.
I have a Honda CRV 2000 - love my car.
What can I do? Please help.

What can you do? Not a darn thing. Same thing happened to me and others here with the Warranty Gold fiasco. When they go bankrupt, chalk it up to one of life's lessons learned. Next time you look for an ext warranty, only get one backed by the manufacturer.

I totally agree with mikefm. Manufacturer backed warranties are the ONLY way to go. It's a shame that this happened to you and to thousands of other people! If I were you, I would do the following to get some satisfaction.
 
First, write to the dealership owner and provide copies of your warranty with your letter. Keep it positive and ask for their assistance. When that doesn't work (99% chance it won't), write to Honda USA. Let Honda know how you like the CRV, but detest the dealership due to this circumstance. (Provide copies of the documentation AND the letter to the owner.) Tell Honda that although they have a great product, you don't trust this dealership! Tell them that this Honda dealer has poisoned your ownership experience and that you're having trouble placing trust in other Honda dealerships. Ask for their help to regain faith in Honda and it's dealerships.
 
I know, it sounds kind of hokey, but you might just get what you want out of the deal. If not, you at least place a mark against the dealership for not assisting you. Good luck!

Hello, unless you plan on leaving your Nissan in the garage, out of the rain and other wet weather that you have, forget about Warranty Direct. They will always say that the reason for the failure was because of water. They will not pay for the repair, they will claim that water was the reason for the damage. Warranty Direct will take yout money, but they will not give. WARRANTY DIRECT will rip you off.
