Blind Spot Sensors

SO took my car in today because I've been having issues with the blind spot sensors. End of the day I need 2 new ones at 900 bucks each. Also found out eh CPO warranty I got when I bought the car doesn't cover this even though the salesman said its basically and extension on the new car warranty. My fault for not doing the research.

Questions
1. Anyone know where I could get the sensors for a cheaper price? Would look at the US as well.
2. Has anyone had any luck being able to buy the extended warranty after they went over the 80,000KM?s

You can buy the extended warranty as long as it is covered by the original warranty or the CPO warranty.

The CPO warranty should cover the sensors like the extended warranty also. Call MBUSA.

I was told by the dealer that water got into the sensor

I'm not sure what the differences between Canada and USA for the CPO warranty, but I found this http://www.continentalautomotivegrou...edBrochure.pdf as I was curious as to the coverage after the factory expires and CPO takes over. I asked a Service guy last week and he said that the CPO covers most things except for interior trim and wear items.

I would argue that blind-spot sensors are covered under section 16 Electric System - sensors.

Is there a difference between Canada and USA for the CPO coverage, and what are others experiances using the CPO warranty after the new car warranty is expired?
