Quick question about extended warranty

I bought a 05 TSX w/NAVI @ 53K in May last year with a extended warranty, and finally made an appointment for tomorrow to fix a few things. The dealer said you pay a $100 deductible every time you have the car serviced under warranty when I bought the car, but I haven't seen anything on the web or these forums about paying anything. Is it $100 for only people with extended warranty's? Just making sure im not getting ripped 100 bucks tomorrow. Since there are service bulletins for most of my problems.

List of problems:

Headlight fogging up BAD
PWR steering tight and noisy at slow speeds
Rotors warped causing shaky breaking at high speeds
Passenger seat heater back light out

It depends what your parameters are for your extended warranty. Look at your paperwork and see if it states you pay $100 deductable on your extended warranty work. My extended warranty is $0 deductable - it cost $200 more to purchase than the $100 deductable one - do the math.

Yup, I remember seeing some warranty plans with a deductible, and some without. Costs more to purchase the ones without one, but then you don't have to pay every time you want something fixed. Bottom line, check your paperwork to see which plan you purchased.

Is it the Acura certified extended warranty? If so there is not deductible.

The CPO warranty is different. We're talking about the Acura Care extended warranty that you buy from the dealership or online.

Alright thanks guys, went for my appointment today and got nowhere so I didn't pay them anything. They said they would have refinished the rotors and replaced the pads if I wasn't over 50K and ended up going to a shop to get the work done. They couldnt re create the noise from the pwr steering and didn't notice anything wrong with it, although it feels really stiff. As for the fogging headlights, of course they couldnt recreate the fog even though I showed them pics of them fogged up last week when it rained. They said the clips were already on there and they couldn't do anything...Waiting for the DM to approve the headlight replacement and pwr steering work, and he better! I didnt even ask if I had a deductable today, but im sure they wont see a dime from me.

Just got a call from the dealer and the DM approved the power steering rack and pinion to be replaced and wants to see the headlights in person before approving them even thought I will make him. Have to wait till Friday for him to be in town.
