      Piston rod bearings went out on my car. They couldn't find a specific reason so they defaulted to denying my claim because I was over on my oil change. They knew this from the beginning because I was there and heard the mechanic tell them when they discussed maintenance. There is no sludge in the engine and there is no indication from faults with the codes being ran to prove nothing was wrong with the engine or throwing codes. There are many reasons the bearings can go out. Either way I am a single mom and paid for the car cash used at about 50k miles so it would last me along with the warranty because I don't know how others treated the car. The mechanic feels like the problem is a faulty engine possibly premature since it has such low miles and I've only had the car for 2 oil changes, so 8 months. I have proof of the oil change. They could have denied my claim from the beginning when they knew I was over on my miles for the change but instead kept telling the mechanic to break down the engine more. 3 weeks later I now have no car to get my daughter to daycare, still and my claim is denied for reasons I don't feel is justified since they couldn't find a specific reason it really was a faulty engine. I need help NOW.

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

                      On July 29, 2022, we called you and advised that we received your Better Business Bureau complaint, the claim was under review. We thank you for your patience while this claim file was under review. 

                      We reviewed your claim file with our Warranty Solutions Management Corporation Claims Team and determined that the claim was adjudicated correctly.  The damage to the connecting rod bearings and the main bearings is consistent with lack of required maintenance, there are no indications of a worn main bearing, or a worn connecting rod bearing being spun and causing subsequent damages to the rest of the engine. Regarding the teardown of the engine.  Teardown is required to verify the cause of failure.

                      On August 3, 2022, we called you and advised that the denial of the engine claim will stand.  The failure to the engine is consistent with a lack of required maintenance.   


      The vehicle service contract states:

      How to Make a Claim

      3. You must authorize the Issuing Dealer or any other state licensed repair facility to inspect and diagnose the Mechanical Breakdown, as necessary, to determine the cause of failure and the cost of parts and labor to repair. IMPORTANT: You must call the Administrator prior to all transmission disassembly. You are responsible for the cost of disassembly in the event the Mechanical Breakdown is NOT payable under this Contract (see General Contract Exclusions);

                      If you disagree with these findings, we suggest for you to discuss your options with the repair facility in what would need to be done to prove that the engine did not fail due to a lack of required maintenance.  If the repair facility can provide additional information on the claim, they may contact our claims department.

                      We apologize for any frustration or delay that you experienced.

      Best regards
