Default GMPP-Major Gaurd question- Delco cd player skips 14.4k covered?

I have a 2000 convertible with the GMPP Major Gaurd protection plan. The cd player skips on new or old discs. I have ruled out the discs as I tried them in my JVC CD deck and all work fine. I also used a Memorex cd head cleaning unit and no help there.
I looked and found no mention of coverage for this component or problem as described in my little owners manual from GM. Is this a covered defect or malfunction? Should I buy a new CD deck and just forget about even trying to get it fixed/replaced under this warranty? This is the standard cd player as installed at the factory.

COVERED!!!

Just another reason to buy a GM Protection Plan Majorguard.

Visit any GM dealer with your policy in hand and have them order a new CD changer for you.

Ken, Thanks for the reply. a cd deck should not go bad with less than 15k on the odometer. Maybe I will get lucky and get a new version of the cd deck.

Cool, so, Ken, that means the Nav system is covered as well, right?

YUP, Navigation is covered as well.

In fact, here's more on the plan:

For years, millions of Major Guard customers have known that, “From the engine to the trunk lock, if it breaks – or even if it just plan wears out – and it’s not on the list of the few items not covered, Major Guard will pay for the repair less your deductible – whatever it is!”

What does Major Guard cover?
It’s as simple as this: If it’s not on the very short list of what’s not covered, it’s covered!

WHAT’S NOT COVERED? (Quoted from the actual policy)
“Unless required in connection with the repair of a covered part, GM will not pay anything under the agreement that is related to normal maintenance service including engine tune-up, suspension alignment, wheel balancing, filters, lubricants, engine coolant, drive belts, radiator hoses, heater and vacuum hoses, windshield wiper blades, air conditioning recharging, fluids, spark/glow plugs, brake pads, linings and shoes, brake rotors, manual clutch disc, or any other maintenance service or part required to be performed or replaced as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer’s Maintenance Schedule. Additionally, neither rust damage nor any of the following parts or services are covered under any circumstance: sheet metal, body panels, carpet, weather-strips, lenses, sealed beams, light bulbs, tires, trim, convertible or vinyl tops, moldings, bright metal, upholstery, paint, exhaust system, catalytic converter, hinges, brake drums, shock absorbers, batteries, carburetor, correction of air and water leaks, wind noise, odors, squeaks, rattles, contaminated fuel systems, bumpers, body parts, and glass.”

Major Guard provides 24-hour no cash needed towing and roadside assistance. Major Guard will authorize towing or emergency road service for any disablement of your covered vehicle, or will reimburse you up to $50 for these expenses. Benefits include towing, flat tire service, battery jump, out-of-gas fuel delivery and locksmith and key service. Major Guard will pay the charge to rent a replacement vehicle whenever the new vehicle limited warranty or Major Guard covered repairs require 2.0 or more manufacturers’ labor time guide hours to repair.

Maybe, but you should know the 12-disk changer in my '97 Cadillac is no different (visually) than the 12-disk changer in my '04 C5.

Benefits of having the GM Protection Plan during the base warranty period:

I am often times asked why one should purchase the GM Protection Plan before the base warranty expires so I thought it would be beneficial to all if I published a list of some of the benefits.

* The price increases annually so waiting will without a doubt cost more.
* The price increases as miles accumulate.
* GMPP is honored at all GM dealerships versus the base warranty which is only honored at Chevrolet dealerships.
* GMPP covers a rental car if your vehicle needs 2.0 labor hours or more of repair versus the base warranty which only covers a rental if your car is disabled, in the dealership all day and then overnight.
* GMPP covers items that break or wear out versus the base warranty which only covers items that fail due to a quality or workmanship issue.

Have a great day!
