Warranty company trying to make me pay for their mistake

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I have a 2018 Ford Ecosport. Took it to the local dealership because it was making a loud rattling noise when idling.

The dealership called EasyCare and told them the noise was coming from the bottom of the engine. The warranty company told them to get authorization from me to remove the oil pan and make sure they had all my oil change receipts. They dropped the oil pan and didnt find any damage. However, upon further examination, they found that the flywheel was cracked.

The warranty company told them to drop the transmission and take a picture and send it to them. They acknowledged the problem and are covering the replacement and all associated costs with the flywheel replacement but will not cover the dropping of the oil pan and putting it back together which that cost is $1486.01. The dealership has done everything they were told to do but because of the warranty company guessing wrong they want to pass that cost off on me.

I feel that is very unfair. I want the warranty company to pick up that cost too.

Warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had my car repaired and after it was fixed I remembered that I had an extended warranty that hadn't expired. I called customer service and explained that and was told to email my receipts and explain what had happened.

I was told I would I should get a refund in 30 to 60 days. After almost a month and a half I followed and was told that I wasn't eligible for any refund because I didn't have the car inspected first. I can understand getting a reduced refund because I didn't have the repair shop work with them first but to just be flat out denied is unacceptable.

This warranty was sold to be me from the dealership that I purchased the car from and even though I took it to another dealership it didn't show up as being under any extended warranty at the time I had it repair. Needless to say I did not renew this warranty when the reached out to me to do so.

Extremely dissatisfied with a recent claim experience!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had filed a claim for an "Intake Throttle Valve" replacement through an International Truck Center located in Orlando, FL. EasyCare had initially agreed to process the claim for this valve replacement with the only issue being the labor rate that the International Truck Center was charging.

I had agreed to pay the difference in the labor rate charge to the Truck Center to move the repair along.

Days later, I was told that EasyCare would not be honoring the claim due to an "exclusion" in the fine print of my policy. So from a "go" on the claim to an 11th hour "no go" on the claim!?!

After two hours on the phone with four different EasyCare representatives, I was told that they were sorry for the way the claim was handled,but would not reconsider their "11th" hour position reversal on the claim.

Claim denial from EasyCare appears to be their standard business practice.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Claim for transmission replacement was denied by EasyCare because a converter wasnt housed within the transmission casing. The transmission itself has failed and EasyCare will not honor the warranty.

  • Fraudulent advertising and corporate greed

Preferred solution: Claim coverage for failed transmission

User's recommendation: Do not purchase an EasyCare warranty unless you are willing to feed their corporate profits and pay for no coverage and full costs for care repairs

Coverage of my car

I wanted to talk to someone on the phone and not on the internet. Since that is not possible, I will try this way. I wante to know if my car was covered bumper to bumper or just certain parts. I have no claim now.

Refuse to cover repairs

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review Jul 21, 2021
I purchased my vehicle and on the way driving it home I had lights come on (ABS, Traction control, 4WD) called the dealership and they said to call service. Their service dept could not get me in until months later told I could take it to an ASE certified Jeep dealership. Took it the garage said a wheel bearing is bad and ABS sensor. Easy care said they would not cover it because it has rust on it and was preexisting to me buying it that it could not have happened in the miles I had driven it. I had to pay $100 out of my pocket for the diagnostic check and the repairs will be $800+

IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL

JUI purchased a new car in April 2021, canceled the warranty in June and still haven't gotten it credited to my loan. Refused to cancel GAP unless I refinanced or paid off the loan. I thought these were optional add ons? NEVER LET A DEALERSHIP CON YOU INTO THESE!!!

Will not honor their warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have the Total Care plan and brought my car in for regular maintenance a couple of months after purchase. The technicians said that the head gasket broke causing the cylinders to warp. No engine lights ever went on (confirmed by the dealer repair shop) and they will not replace the engine because they said I operated the car when damaged.

I cannot find my VSC contract information

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I went to the EasyCare website, printed my card and used the coverage type listed on the card to identify my coverage on the website. But there was no match. Moreover, unlike every other insurance company I've encountered, the EasyCare website does not provide the consumer with his or her account and coverage details after the consumer provides his or her personal and vehicle details. Of course, the company also does not offer 24/7/365 customer service for its consumers. For this opaque and devious system, I pay about $130.00/month. That's more than I pay per month for my high deductible health plan, another industry that delivers less value than what one pays for. I will look to cancel my coverage before I waste additional money on this "service.'
