When I go back to the dealer to have it diagnosed, do I have a case to have them replace it under warranty since it didn't even last a year? If Nissan won't replace it under warranty, I will myself. Where should I get a replacement, and should I get a refurbished one?

check your paperwork that you got when they did the alternator. it should tell you what sort of warranty it came with.
Well here's the deal. Dealers warranty the alternators for 90days. Refurbished ones from the parts store are warrantied for life and a lot cheaper. If they won't replace it, get a refurbished one and if it ever fails you won't have to pay again.
I sure would ask for a brand new Nissan replacment. If given a no I would contact Nissan customer service. dk
I will check my paperwork. Thanks for the help everyone - I think it still helps to know what other owners have managed to get out of Nissan service. Dealers often 'misinterpret' these things and somehow it's always to their advantage.
