      Replacement of engine is needed. Company won't cover the charges because they state it is the thermostat and it is not covered. They stated their coverage is like endurance who has the thermostat covered. The policy explains what is covered which includes the engine block which is where the thermostat is located and bolted down. The company hasn't given a complete reason on why it is not listed under covered or non covered. also said they aren't responsible for any damages that lead to overheating but the spring on the thermostat came off which is what lead to the overheating. The coolant isn't destroyed just has liquid coming out of it. It is not leaking through the hose or the actual compartment. The item should be covered because it is a lubricated part that is bolted down to the engine. It is not Godly to give a contract and not honor the contract you gave.

      Complaint: 22294725

      I am rejecting this response because: they stated the thermostat is not covered but it is also not listed as an item not covered. The engine block is where the thermostat is bolted down to and considered a lubricant part of the engine because the coolant flows through it to get to the engine cylinders. If the thermostat spring pops off and closes off the thermostat hold which cause for build up to happen and then the car overheats because there is no flow, how is the thermostat and it's housing not covering. It's is bolted to the engine and the engine block is covered which is where the thermostat is housed. The company stated they have the same plan as endurance but with endurance the thermostat entire housing is covered because it is listed under the engine. **** has the same powertrain warranty that states the thermostat is covered because it is apart of the engine block. How do you pick and choose which parts of the engine block you want to cover but then don't list it as not covered. Then a *** tried to stated that if the company listed everything not covered the list would be two to three pages long but my contact is three pages and not covered items is two of those pages and thermostat is not listed on the non covered parts. The company is trying to find ways out of a contract meant to really hurt the consumer. Why have me pay for something within my contract if you don't plan to covered the part that needs ***lacing. And stating that you don't cover things that caused by overheating is bull because the coolant tank and hose are still in working order but because the flow to the engine cylinders was blocked is why the head gaskets blew. The gaskets are covered the coolant tank is covered, the engine block and cylinders are covered and all lubricated parts of the engine are covered which means a thermostat and it's housing is covered because it is apart of the engine block and bolted down to that said engine block. The engine now needs to be ***laced so ***lace it. Stop giving out bull c*** contracts if you don't plan to honor them when it comes time.

      Sincerely,

      ****** ******

      Complaint: 22294725

      I am rejecting this response because: it is not right but other legal actions are already in play to have this resolved due to me being without a vehicle for a month and having to come out of pocket just to be able to get around. Thank you BBB for your help with trying to get this resolved but Zurich is a joke and have people paying for insurance that they know they don't want and will do everything in their power to not cover. If a car starts to overheat because the spring for the thermostat comes off which there is no telling when it came off since the last service and stating it's not a lubricated part of the engine but it is because the coolant keeps its lubricated, is ridiculous to state is not covered but then don't list it under not covered and try to use your wording to make it seem like it's in the contract but it's not is ridiculous. But God have mercy on people who try and get over on the little people who need their vehicles just to manage and get to and from work everyday and make sure their families are good and can get to and from everyday. Nothing good will ever come of a company who has people pay for a service they can't even use when needed. 

      Sincerely,

      ****** ******

      I purchased an extended warranty on a used car. I am inside the timeframe and the mileage of this warranty. Took nearly 3 weeks to get rental car coverage, and over a week to have the person look at the car. When they finally made a decision they offered to cover about 50% of a repair that is over $7,000. My policy states I have a $100 deductible. The company will not explain why only partial coverage. They have strict guidelines on the repairs as well, so I do not have other lower cost options to make these repairs. The **** for the company has refused in many emails and communications to provide any detail on what is covered in his opionion. He is just stalling, and each day that passes I am without a vehicle. Tomorrow, after about 3 weeks, I should have a rental car. Even when they got a car reserved, Enterprise (the only option for a car with them) had no cars. My complaint here is the slow walking of every aspect of this, and the lack of details or communication. The **** did try to put blame on the car sales person, but my decision to by was a nice colorful sales piece right on the desk of the sales person. Clearly this is sales material from the warranty company. It lacks details or disclosures, and makes it sound like you have an extended warranty. Now they say they only will cover a small portion of the actual repairs. In this case, it is the ***** and some related parts, all outlined by ***************. Here is the only way I have been able to communicate with company: *****************************************

      This company makes it EXTREMELY difficult to file a claim. Similar to an insurance company, these folks are fast to take money before placing barrier after barrier preventing you from actually getting the coverage YOU PAID FOR. They make customers use an Excel file attachment to compete the intake. I do not have excel and i will not pay for it. The company said well well send you a PDF. No, not downloading software to my device to complete this process. This company has failed to provide an easy way to file claims such as a mobile app, web-based platform like DocuSign, VineSign, Panda Doc, etc. When filing a complaint over the phone, the representative hung up on me. I wish i NEVER spent money on this coverage when i bought my car. Its a complete and total SCAM! Not to mention, they don't even do the work.. They outsource. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON A DENT REPAIR FIRST, then get authorization to complete with Zurich. Completely unacceptable experience for a customer to have to speak with three people when the company couldntet with 2024. I hope the company wakes up or faces legal challenges on their accessibility to filing claims. I finally recorded the third call when filing a complaint with ***** management.

Here is the rental agreement and a text message from ***** *** ,admitting his fault in the wreck ! **** ***** ,the adjustor,has denied it for whatever reason ! This accident occurred on May 23rd 2024 .I have been bullied by this adjustor and it has to be an issue of fraud ! I can't get a lawyer to take a case because there was no injuries & so they can't make any money on the case ! In the meantime, I have to resort to this! They need to be investigated and shut down for this non compliance ! The damage to my vehicle is at the least $3900 or they would total it out !

      Had an accident, my 2023 ***** was totalled. I had progressive ins. They paid all but $4650. I had GAP thru Zurich sold by *****. Zurich dragged their payment. Called me told me i had to send them several documents which progressive already sent then they said they were only going to pay a little. It's Gap ins. They're supposed to pay the remaining loan Balance. Why have it if they don't. Any way I filed a dispute, all the sudden I only owe 957. This company is providing false services to customers. I should owe nothing. It's mighty suspicious the day after I file a dispute Zurich contacts me..any they are scamming customers

      I filed a claim in June 2024 due to cancelled travel in May. Since then, I have spent more time on hold with Zurich than the actual travel would have taken. It takes SOOOO much time to catch hold of an agent, and every time I eventually speak to someone, the response is that we are processing the case and the agent will likely get back to you next week. There was an ask for some additional paperwork that I provided in July, and it's been silence for over 6 weeks. There's a lot of waiting for an answer, and it's impossible to reach anyone at the company to get any clarity. I spend an hour every week waiting on hold with Claims support, and the response I receive is canned. The case has been escalated, and will be addressed. There's no movement, and there's no support to process the claim. I did ask to escalate and speak to a manager, it went to a voicemail!!! I understand they have a large volume of cases but why on earth can you not provide a realistic expectation on how long travel insurance claims will take? Would have been GREAT to know this when I purchased the insurance, and definitely when I filed the claim. My claim number is ******. I have reattached all the documents I shared with the company when I filed the claim. This is the worst travel insurance ever.

      We received the complaint for ID # ********. We will need more information as to what type of mailers they are receiving so we can direct this to appropriate department to remove them. Are these mailers for *************** Contracts? Gap Insurance? New Program Policies? Claims? Please let us know and we can get this handled.

      ******* Comp Policy GTU4379556 Claim ********** Harrasment and physical abuse at work led to suicidal thoughts, build up of a mental break down on 3/11/24 documented by clinic ***** for Life. Asked if this is a ******* Comp case and yes it is. Supervisor hard punch to my son who has a disability. Many Bx visits since 3/11/24 Medical is fully paid for by ***** insurance but Zurich does not process this claim. It was done correctly and turned in by *********************** MS *** and Dr ******************* PA-C both from ***** for Life. I kept calling but no one responds to us. It is now 8/19/24 I got thru to ************************* ********** and she said she will call ***********************. This should have been processed. The state should have trained him to also look out for abuse at work, after 2 yrs of cart cleaning his second 2 yrs was mentally abusive and some physical abuse. State did not go in and train him again. They said they would. Because of ******** Autism he did not become a person to stand up for his own respect. This needs to be a part of DDD DES Vocational Rehab for those seeking employment and have disabilities.

      My name is ***********************. I owned a pet bobcat named Phoenix. A veterinarian failed to diagnose a medical issue that ultimately killed *******. The ********************** found the Veterinarian, ****************, in violation of the Boards rules of professional conduct. **************** has failed to respond to the ***************** Neither **************** or the clinic will open an insurance claim. Zurich insurance will not allow the injured parties to file a claim. Only the policy owner can file a claim. This is a tactic designed to avoid paying claims. It should not be this difficult to file a claim. I need your help getting justice for ******* and being repaid for my veterinary costs. This situation is outrageous.

      I am rejecting this response because:The company did not address my complaint.  They only talked about a previous claim from a few years ago. They have not received a claim from me against the veterinarian because they refuse to let me file the claim. They have repeatedly told me that the policy owner, ***************************,  has to file the claim and I am not allowed to do so.
