I have an 05 Maxima with a 100k/$0 deductible ext warranty. Just about $420 the famus P0420 come up and keeps coming back. It's eather my cats or the rear bank 1 o2 sensor taking a crap. Anybody know if this is covered under warranty? I went to the dealership and was told it would $90 to diognose the problem and only after they would be able to tell me if this is under warranty.. What's yall's take on this?
BTW, the car has 62k miles and even with this p0420 code I am still getting 30+ mpg on hwy..

p0420 would be bank 1 pre-cat, which are known to go bad. it is also covered under the factory emissions warranty of 8years/80,000miles. the diagnostic fee will also be waived once they verify the code and issue.
They told me the same thing, 90bucks to diagnosis it, after they realized it was the precat, they put me in a loaner and ordered a new part, I never paid anything, take it in, stop driving it, your slowly destroying your engine

Because the bad precat could possibly be depositing particles into your engine. Not a good thing! I will let someone else chime in on the actual likeliness that this would result in damage.

If you search the board, many people have had the precats replaced, they break down over time and the particles get sucked back into the engine scoring the cylinder walls eventually leading to oil burning, a few here neglected it for so long they eventually needed new engines
