*** has harassed and intimidated their clients (me and my wife) threatening investigations on matters that were never signed. They did not do their due diligence before coming at me and then talked down to me as if I don't know what I sign or not. Typical insurance company that trys to get out of paying but they sure won't say anything while you pay them every month.Business response

On 2/13/25 at approx 5pm, we had a car running with the keys locked in side. Initial call to AAA, was asked if car was running ( yes) and told we'd get a call back in 5 mins. After close to 40 mins I called AAA back. Was told she had no idea when we'd get help and no one should have told us we'd get a call back in 5 mins. This representative told me they have see IF someone in the area could assist. We did not hear anything back from *** until 12:44 A.M. on 2/14/2025. In the mean time, after we had waited for 5 hours at that point, we called a tow company and they were there within 45 mins and got the car open. We paid them $65 for the job AAA couldn't do. *** then called again at 4:54 AM. Almost 12 hours after initial call to them. 12 hours. This is not the first issue. Last time they left my husband broken down in sub freezing temperatures for over 8 hours. I.we are asking to be refunded the $65 we had to spend.Business response

I returned the call only to be told someone tried to call, they sent an email and left me a voice message. I have not received an email. There was no voicemail left. Representative would not put me through to talk with anyone. I have rec'd no email from AAA. If you would leave me a proper number to call and name of person to speak to, that would be helpful

2/22/2025 into 2/23/2025. AAA made me feel unsafe as they could not provide me with the eta for a tow truck to come get my vehicle on the side of the highway. They would not provide another tow truck driver at my request as the tow company ** towing in ************ could not contact their driver for over 2 hrs. Apparently this drivers phone died and their charger was not working so they had to purchase one. Only after this scary experience of waiting aimlessly with no idea if a driver would be coming or not, did AAA inform me that Js towing requested another driver to be assigned to me as their driver was too far away now. Why didnt that matter before and only after waiting for 4 hours. Was left feeling very unsafe and would like to have AAA not count this tow against our allowed free tows.Business response

claim # ********* 2 checks totaling ******** *********** put a stop pay on my insurance claim check without advising why and my roof needs to be fixed now. i filed a claim in January 2025 and was sent 2 checks but in between the time of receiving the checks and cashing the checks, the insurance claim adjuster, ****** *****, has placed a stop pay on the checks out of spite and did not advise why. From our first time speaking, I am highly offended by her existence because of how I was treated by her, representing ***. ****** ***** was rude and unhelpful to us as a clients. She refused to communicate through email in spite of me advising her I am not at the liberty to talk with her on the phone during business hours. Then when I did speak to her, her tone of voice and attitude was very defensive, unhelpful, rude, and negative. When I asked her about it, she got defensive and since then it seems to be personal a personal attack and a conflict of interest that she is even handling my case. I sent her a spirited email because she spoke to me in a very condensing way multiple times on multiple calls with her. I am shocked that she represents anyone's company. Therefore, I put in writing to her exactly how I felt about her personal treatment of us and the company's treatment of us as a whole. The checks were in the mail at that time. Due to her not being professional AT ALL she must have stop paid the checks. Further proving the experience, I have had with her. Unnecessarily combative and angry. Here we are, experiencing a crisis with our roof and the claims adjuster is playing with people's lives because of inability to be professional. We are looking into a filing lawsuit because there are other violations that have occurred as clients of AAA and we have paid them in full for the previous year.Business response

Hello,
Per claims the checks were stop because they were not endorsed/signed by all parties. It was not signed on the back of the check. All parties need to sign the back of the check to make valid. Once check is reissued, please make sure all signatures are on check.

** did not provide roadside assistance as was their contractual obligation. I had a dead battery and although the car was running, I was afraid of it possibly stopping and not being able to start. Because AAA left me stranded and unsafe I cancelled my membership, and they refused to refund the 60% or more of my membership fees as I was a member until July 2025. AA stated that I only had 30 days from renewing my membership to cancel. How was I supposed to know they would leave me stranded 6 months after paying for their service. ***'s handling of this is egregious, unlawful, and despicable.Business response

I canceled my membership with *** due to the bad experiences I had with my last membership next day towing because of no trucks being available when I had an emergency. But I purchased a battery with my last membership that's supposed to have a three year warranty. Today my car loosing power so I renew my membership and call them they tell me I can't use it until the 13th if that's the case I don't need it my car is fairly new I hardly have problems with it. They won't even come out and check the battery without an extra $60 for something that is covered through them.Business response
02/10/2025
We apologize for any confusion, but there is a 3 day waiting period for the membership to go into effect. You could waive those 3 days by paying a $60 fee. If you wish to cancel your membership, please speak to your insurance agent.Customer response

I was traveling in a car with my wife and some extended family on Sat Feb 1st when the minivan we were driving broke down. The transmission started making erratic sounds and motions, forcing us to pull over. We were in rural ************* without any cell phone reception, and so the driver of the car (my sister-in-law) texted e911 via the satellite communication feature on her iPhone. She gave the e911 operator my *** membership credentials, who then apparently dispatched a tow truck. More than 2 hours went by, after which point the e911 operator said only police could be dispatched (no tow truck available). My sister-in-law ended up getting lucky; a passer-by knew a shop and tow truck owner, who was notified and then came to tow the car. However, the car is still broken down at that nearby shop who is not able to fix the problem. Most importantly, I am paying for a service that promises reliability and they were not able to deliver. I would like someone to contact me to remedy the issue. Thanks.Business response
