Thanks PK4144....In the "not make you feel better" department, I have a extended warranty policy that cost me $3700 for 6 years/72,000 miles and now after 2 1/2 years I can't get my water pump replaced which would cost me under $800 if I paid to have it replaced out of pocket. Go figure! However, I will not stop pursuing this water pump replace regardless.

I have seen something similar with the E63/E64 (2005-2010) BMW M6 V10 engine. It has a known weak spot in Rod Bearings, they fail as early as 50k miles. If caught early it is a $2000 repair, if found late results in catastrophic engine failure. The guys with aftermarket coverage would be covered only in the event of engine failure, they could not convince them to pay out for a preventative replacement. If I had the coverage I would drive it until the part failed and killed the engine and have them spend the $10k.
