I am rejecting this response because:I have sent what info I have, but I think they need to contact Santander to get the correspondence between them. I have only been verbally told about communication. Santander said they when they contacted Warranty Solutions that they would stay on hold and never could talk to anyone.
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. I should not be held responsible for the balance owed of $12,399.67 because of their failure to do their job and I would think that Warranty Solutions could understand the mix up and pay the balance.
Sincerely,

I am rejecting this response because:I sent the repair estimate which has the adjuster's name, milage, date of loss, etc. Also sent a statement with the Prod Proceeds being paid on 4/11/2024 in the amount of $1285.38.

All Documents have been sent and they are supposed to cut a check to *********************** this week. It is not the full amount because they deducted deductible, service contract, etc. It left a little over $3000.00 owed, which is must better than $13,299.00.Customer Answer

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. Then they did a charge off to my credit for the whole amount, not what is left. So my credit has now taken another hit. Sad thing is that they don't even contact you.Initial Complaint

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

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

Claim denied. 1st reason: I was missing service records because they were saying that my vehicle required the oil to be due at every 5000 miles. Not true. My car uses full synthetic oil. Oil changes requirement for full synthetic oil is every ***** miles!!! 2nd denial: I was missing service records from ****** miles to ******* miles. I found the invoice that covered that gap and showed that I had the oil changed again at ******* miles. Now I'm thinking, I've given them everything they've ask for so now I should be good to go. Well, no!! 3rd denial: Failure to maintain service on vehicle! because, now there saying that back in 2021, when I got my oil changed at ****** miles, which was only 7months and 7889 miles later and well under the 12mo/*****-mile oil change requirement, that I did not have the vehicle serviced again until 04/15/2022, which is 3weeks and 500 miles past the 12mo/10,000 mile requirement; Implying that I had not had my vehicle serviced or inspected at all during that time. I explained to them and also provided receipts/documentation that I took the vehicle in on 10/12/2021 and had a Complete Vehicle Inspection Done. This Inspection is a very detailed inspection that involves the inspection of the engine for leaks damage and maintenance requirements, as well as oil levels. Well apparently, ********* did not do the oil change at that time because the oil quantity and quality was good an no oil change was needed. I took my vehicle back approximately 6 months and ***** miles later had had the oil changed. Then again at ******* and approximate 7000 miles later, then again at 3 months and ***** miles later and again at ******* and 5229 miles later!!! So, to hear the adjustor say that I failed to maintain the service on my vehicle is ridiculous! If anything, the vehicle was over serviced! I had this car for approximately 3 years, only put about ****** miles on it and have had 5 oil changes!! I'm a licensed mechanic! I take care of my vehicles!Business Response

I missed the 7-day window to respond but would like to continue the complaint process. Warranty Solutions corporate office under the name ************ called to advise that they looked over the case and decided to pay the claim. They did not cover the entire cost of the engine replacement but covered the majority of the cost.
h Warranty Solutions. The warranty company was asking for additional maintenance records which I got and sent in. The warranty company requested a second tear down at my expense to go further into the engine to determine if the piston rings had carbon buildup. The second tear down was completed and the inspector came back out. The root cause of the engine failure is piston ring failure in the rear cylinder 3 and 4 which were cracked and caused the burning of oil which lead to lack of lubrication. Cylinders 1 and 2 are good. The new service advisor has been speaking with **** at Warranty Solutions who told him that the second tear down needed to be done to rule out carbon buildup which the inspection showed no carbon buildup. On 8/1/24, **** told the service advisor that they are denying the claim based on lack of lubrication. The Service Advisor stated that the root cause of the engine failure is the piston rings and that the claim should be covered. They are trying to get out of payingBusiness Response

Dear ********************,
Regarding the authorized amount of the engine claim. We cannot stop a repair facility from charging more than what the vehicle service contract will allow. To verify eligible amounts of parts and labor, we use national recognized parts and labor guides to determine the parts and labor eligible amounts.
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).

February 9, 2023 paid them $3499.00 on 6/23/2020 for the 5 Star Warranty 5yr / 60k miles warranty coverage ends 6/23/2025 or ******* miles This is by far the worst warranty company EVER. on February 9, 2023 I took my ****************** for service because of serval noises, check engine lights, sunroof clicking, and transmission issues.After evaluation **** stated that I needed a new motor. Warranty Solutions sent their inspector rep out to view the truck claim and denied the claim because the battery was disconnected. So I called back and had them send someone else out. Which they also denied the claim. This time stating its not enough nor sufficient evidence to support the tech's claim of needing a new motor. They Requested a motor break down authorization from me to further figure out the problem but also told me it will be at my total expense even if the claim was denied again. I agreed so I could get my truck repaired and back asap as we just hit the one year **** of my truck being at the dealership and still not fixed. No rental car was offered or rental reimbursement the entire time. i call and get the Supervisor of Claims and also the Service Manger and Tech from **** on the phone all together to figure out this issue of who is not doing what. The Tech described how he showed the inspector the issue of multiple scorched cylinders due to a failed oil pump. The tech also stated how the inspector ignored what was said to him and the inspector deleted the video recording he was making once the technician started talking and explaining. Claim Denied Again! I am beyond frustrated at this point. I have been paying my monthly note for a year and sometime now and i still don't have my truck fixed nor back. The truck is still under warranty. My truck has been sitting there dry rotting out in the elements for over a year now and there no telling what else is wrong with it or stolen off of it .
