Hello,I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with your company, its ethics, and its practices. I feel deceived and frustrated by my experience with your warranty.When I purchased my vehicle in 2015, I opted for a warranty, believing it would provide peace of mind. Instead, dealing with your company has become a major headache.Recently, my 2013 Mercedes E350 needed significant transmission repairs, totaling $15,000. However, your company is only offering to cover a mere $5,900, claiming my car is worth only that amount. This evaluation seems unfair, especially when the market value for similar cars is significantly higher.I urge you to reconsider the amount you're willing to pay for the repairs. Your current offer is unacceptable, and I am left feeling betrayed. I will not be using your services in the future and strongly advise others to stay away from what I perceive as fraudulent ************ the time of purchase, we signed an agreement stating that all repair costs would be covered, including parts of like quality, whether new or used.While I am open to using used parts for the necessary repairs, it is worth noting that even these will exceed $10,000. Furthermore, I have been informed that the required transmission parts are currently unavailable.Given these circumstances, I kindly request a reevaluation of the repair coverage or a suitable alternative. I hope we can find a resolution that aligns with the original terms of our contract.Business Response

I am filing a complaint on Warranty Solutions. I financed a **************************************************************** ********* FL. Part of the financing included the Warranty. I have paid my bill every month for the duration that I have owned the car. Back in October 2024, I had an A/C issue and it persisted but I took it to a repair shop and had it fixed through the Warranty company. No problem. I paid my deductible and it was done. Recently in December 2024, a few days after I had my fluids replaced at Take 5, my car began to run hot. I drove home and parked the truck and called for a tow service to take it to a repair shop. I could have driven it there but I did not. They told me I needed a water pump and that coolant had mixed with the oil and that my head gaskets were warped. I filed with Warranty Solutions and they sent out an adjuster which is 3rd party. He reviewed and determined that I operated the vehicle beyond the point of reasonable use - which is nebulous and generic. Suffice to say they denied it. I asked to speak to a manager and he reiterated the adjuster's comments and then proceeded to send me a copy of the Warranty contract and pointed to the exclusions which are even more subjective. I asked for an appeals process and was not offered one or a solution despite being a fully paid Warranty *********** the end, ***************************************** has refused to honor my claim and now the repair shop is stuck with my vehicle which I have not had for 3 months. I am being forced to make payments on a vehicle which is not operable until they fix it.

Complaint: 23028230
I am rejecting this response because: I had the vehicle towed to the facility immediately after it began to give me a message that the engine was running hot. The message came on briefly and then the temperature went back down to normal and when I returned home to my driveway, the gauge began to alarm that it was running hot again. I turned the vehicle off and had it towed to the repair shop. I could have driven it to the repair shop but I thought better knowing the exclusion in the contract. There is no gauge or electronic display or warning as to when the heads will warp or that I have gone over a REASONABLE operation of the vehicle as stated in the contract. I reject this notion that I operated the vehicle for longer in that state. The tow company delivered my vehicle from my house to the repair shop which means I had no intention of operating it beyond it's reasonable capacity. Additionally, I have paid for the warranty in my financing and if they will not honor my request, I want my money back in full from the Warranty company. I should only have to pay my deductible and have my vehicle repaired otherwise it makes no sense to pay for or have a warranty for your engine. I am sure they will pay for a broken window or a light socket.Additionally, I have contacted the repair shop and they will have a report for additional issues to consider such as how would I know that the water pump was bad...There is no indicator or warning light that the water pump has totally malfunctioned. The faulty water pump is the reason that the heads warped and not me operating the vehicle. That is an issue beyond my reasonable capacity to control. It's a causational aspect and my next step is to have my attorney on this. It will be cheaper for the Warranty company to hone it's contract than to pay a lawyer to go to court about this.

Dear Mr. ********************************************************************************************************** The evidence provided by **************** and verified by an independent inspection agency indicates that the vehicle was continually operated in a severely overheated state. This is indicated by the metal of the engine block and cylinder heads to warp beyond the manufacture specifications. If a repair facility can demonstrate a failure to the warning system or provide documentation from the manufacture that the engine block and cylinder heads will warp under normal operating conditions or that the warning system will not notify the driver when the vehicle is overheating, we can rereview the claim at that time.

Complaint: 23028230
I am rejecting this response because:The malfunction of the Water Pump caused the overheating. I operated my vehicle normally and deny that I operated beyond normal capacity. There is no indicator light or warning that the Water Pump malfunctioned. It is a causational issue. From my understanding, there were several recalls on this vehicle which may involve the malfunction of the Water Pump as well.
Additionally, my claim may be denied because I submitted a claim for the malfunction in my AC system which they honored previously without 3rd party review or hesitation about 3 months prior to this claim. They may be treating me like this because I had already filed a claim on this vehicle. When I filed that first claim for the ********* the mechanic never discussed or determined that the water pump was malfunctioning or on the verge of the same.
Finally, my Warranty is fully paid for through my finance company. So Warranty Solutions has received full payment for services and should not be denying my claims. They are using an obscure provision in the exclusions paragraph to determine that I operated the vehicle beyond capacity because of the condition of certain parts. That is a falsehood and again, there is no indication or indicator light other than the temperature gauge. When the indicator came on, I immediately stopped operating the vehicle not knowing that the heads had warped. I had the car towed to the shop rather than drive it there.

On September 23, 2024, my car was towed to **** ********* ****** for repairs. The transmission was ultimately replaced. Warranty Solutions did cover the cost of repairs. However, I was required by Warranty Solutions to submit pictures of the torn down transmission before they would consent to do repairs. Warranty Solutions will not pay for the pictures, but the contract states they would provide someone to examine it before repairs are made. Why do I have to assume these costs to save Warranty Solutions money? They should have sent out a service person. This is unreasonable and unfair to consumers, since you say you cover all costs of the repair.Business Response

Dear *** and Mrs. ******************************************************************************************************** This is response to your Better Business Bureau complaint regarding the eligible labor amount of transmission claim. We thank you for your patience while this matter was under review.
On October 15, 2024, we called you and we discussed the eligible labor. It was determined that the claim was adjudicated within the terms and conditions of the vehicle service contract. The vehicle service contract allows for labor amounts as indicated by current addition of nationally recognized labor guides.
The invoice states line #1 is for diagnostic labor time and sending photos for $340.00. At ******** Toyotas labor rate this indicates 1.8 hours of labor.
The invoice states line 3 is for the transmission replacement for $2,060.96 in labor. At ******** ******* labor rate this indicates ***** hours of labor.
As verified by national recognized labor guide, Warranty Solution authorized 7.5 hours of labor to replace the transmission, 1.8 hours of labor for diagnoses, .6 hours of labor to flush the transmission fluid, and .95 hours of labor to remove the transmission pan.
As indicated by the invoice, the photos needed for verification of the internal transmission failure is part of the repair facility diagnosis, 1.8 hours of labor. Warranty Solutions authorized 1.8 hours of labor for diagnosis.
The vehicle service contract states:
Payment of Mechanical Repairs
We will pay for the reasonable cost or reimburse You for the reasonable cost to repair a covered Mechanical Breakdown (diagnostic and repair time are allowed only for Covered Repairs and as indicated in a current edition of a *******, Motor, ********, or AllData labor guide), when repaired by a state licensed repair facility.
Unfortunately,Warranty Solutions is not able to keep the repair facilities from charging more than what the vehicle service contract allows for coverage.

This started on 2/29/2024 when vehicle was totaled. The loan was through ************************** through Warranty Solutions. Dealt with *********** and they paid their part on 4/14/2024 in the amount of $18,723.11. Contacted Santander in regards to GAP and they told me that they would file all the necessary paperwork with Warranty Solutions. Received a letter at beginning of May 2024 from ********* stating that the loan was paid in full. I assumed *** had paid. Didn't think another thing about it until I looked at my credit score in August 2024, my score had dropped 122 points due to being past due with *********. Called ********* and for some reason the payment in the amount of $12,437.33 made on 4/23/2024 was reversed on 5/6/2024. Contacted Warranty Solutions and they said that they never received the paperwork from *********. I had Santander send them the copy of the check that Progressive issued. Warranty Solutions will not pay due to it being past the 90 day time period. Had I known, I would have taken care of it. I do not feel that it is fair that both Santander and Warranty Solutions dropped the ball, but it is now my place to pay. *** was purchased for this kind of reason. I don't know what to do. I contacted both companies numerous times, stayed on hold 15, 30, and even 45 minutes. I have asked ********* who issued the check in the amount of $12,437.33, no answer. I have asked if it was an accounting error, no answer other that call customer service. If you are told that they are going to take care of it then it is on them to do it.

First, I want to say Thank You for helping me in this matter. Warranty Solutions has worked with me, and they sent payment to *********. It was not full amount, but it helps alot. So I would say this matter can be closed. As for *********, they just keep hitting me. They got the check and then instead of applying to payoff, they applied to interest, late fees and then balance.

I had a warranty through Warranty solutions that expired on September 30, 2024. I discovered my vehicle was leaking coolant and also started to shake when close to shifting so I went online to the dealership Sunday at the first sign of the issues which was September 29th and made the first available appointment which was for October 15th. I actually called during business hours and was able to get it in on Tuesday October 1st and they would try to fit me in somewhere. I told them I had a warranty and left the paperwork with them. They called me on Wednesday after the first issue was diagnosed and said they contacted Warranty solutions and they said my warranty had expired 2 days earlier. My complaint is I made the appointment before the warranty was expired for the first available time and they were not able to service it until after the warranty expired. The problem existed ahead of the expiration and through no fault of my own, the dealership could not diagnose the issues and file a claim ahead of the expiration. I did contact Warranty Solutions and spoke to a customer service *** and an adjuster but neither provided any help.Business Response

On October 4, 2024, we spoke on the phone. You advised that you have proof that failure and that you made an appointment prior to the service contract expiration date. After reviewing the evidence that you supplied us, it was determined that we would proceed with the claim. On October 8, 2024, Warranty Solutions spoke to the repair facility and authorized the eligible amount for the claim.

We purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle from the dealership with a 10 year/100K powertrain warranty through Warranty Solutions. We have had a failure of powertrain components (transmission, transfer case, real axle) which should be covered as the vehicle is under 100K miles. Warranty Solutions is denying the claim to replace the transfer case and rear axle stating it falls within section 8 of the warranty exclusions due to rust; however, these components are not rusted and after further inspection of the components (transfer case and rear axle) and taking updated photos, it's clear the original photos provided to Warranty Solutions are misleading, as the rust is just dust which is normal for these components to accumulate over time. The dealership where we purchased the vehicle doesn't agree with Warranty Solutions denying the claim and is requesting upper management to review the claim. I have reached out to Warranty Solutions multiple times but have not received any communication from upper management at this time.**The inspection report was too large to upload to this complaint, but I can provide the full inspection report as well as detailed pictures outlining everything.Business Response

The first the issue occurred in February 2024, dealership stated that warranty did not cover all repairs, and I had to pay an out-of-pocket expense to get car repaired. This is the same issue that was supposed to be resolved the first time and warranty company/dealership is stating the repairs will not be covered and have to pay out of pocket for the entire repair.Business Response

I purchased a GAP warranty from your company with my vehicle purchase for $999.00. On 6/3/2024, I experienced a total loss on the vehicle. My initial contact with you was on 7/29/2024. I filed claim #******. Since that date, I have contacted you 12 times. Each call to you takes at least two interactions. Since the wait times are always extended, I have to hold for over 15 minutes to be offered a callback, then wait for an agent to call my to actually answer my request. The last 3 times I have contacted you, I was advised that you have all the documents needed and my claim was being transferred to a claims adjuster to process payment. As of my phone call with you today, ****** advised me AGAIN that now you have all the paperwork and it will be moved to a claims adjuster. I was advised this was done weeks ago. This issue is now negatively impacting my credit because the lender is waiting on payment from you. The balance due on the loan after the insurance payout is $5825.62. This is my final attempt to resolve this before I file a small claims case. I have done everything you asked and provided all of the necessary paperwork. Please process payment for this claim immediately. If I do not hear from you this week, I will proceed with filing court documents.Business Response
