I traded my car in for a truck. I called to cancel my policy through Endurance. I waited for 3 hours. It went to a busy signal. I have been on hold now two additional times and couldn**;t get through. I did receive a message or a bill from Auto Assure Paylink saying that I owe them for this month and I don**;t own the car any more. I have closed the account they were taking money out of. They were taking approximately $90 a month.Business Response

I recently had a Land Rover that needed a new engine and I got burned by not having any warranty coverage, so when I bought a used *** X5 I went for the top-of-the-line warranty I could buy. Endurance raved about their warranty coverage, so I went with them. My X5 just had a check engine light come on, so I took it to the dealer. The dealer tells me that there are clogged injectors with carbon buildup. Are consumers supposed to proactively do something about carbon buildup??? Nonetheless, my claim was denied due to their being carbon buildup. Why am I paying for the top-of-line warranty when the company is going to find exclusions to get out of paying for a repair? If I have the top of line warranty and the engine fails by no fault of the owner, then the warranty company really needs to do their job and pay for the repair. I have been wronged by Endurance and he feels very wrong and I am not happy at all!!!!!Business Response

On 9/15/22, the consumers repair facility filed a claim under the contract. The facility reported the vehicle had been driven in with an active check engine light and recommended replacement of the diesel particle filter and injectors 3 and 4. The repair facility stated the injectors had failed due to extreme carbon build-up. The diesel particle filter is not an eligible component under the consumers stated component contract. The injectors are eligible, but could not be authorized as the contract does not provide coverage for
VIII. EXCLUSIONS WHAT IS NOT COVERED:
J. ... Any Breakdown caused by failure to maintain proper levels of lubrication, lubricant blockage, coolant blockage, lack of lubrication or carbon buildup.
Upon receipt of this complaint, an Endurance manager contacted the consumer and explained the claim in detail. The contract was canceled at the consumers request on 9/22.Regards,

the reason for this claim is because the endurance warranty company is not validating the terms of the extended warranty contract in vehicle repair, the contract stipulates that the customer can make a claim one month after contracting the warranty and that the car must have **** miles traveled for that time, both conditions are met in my case, 41 days passed after the contract and the car has about **** more than when we started the contract, unfortunately my car suffers a mechanical failure, I take it to the workshop and put the claim for repairs, the company sends an inspector to review the problem and take an oil sample to determine if the failure was due to carelessness or the age of the vehicle, the oil test shows that the vehicle has received maintenance when seeing the inspector this begins to make excuses to make the guarantee valid saying that the truck has been sitting in that workshop for more than a year he issues that opinion Just because the truck is dirty and *****, he is not sure how long the truck has been there, he is just based on his opinion and decides to deny the claim even knowing that the oil test indicates recent maintenance and that the contract is in validity. The moment I call to check the status of my claim, they inform me of all this and I clarify that the rust on the car is because I live in ******** and that I constantly travel to ******* for work reasons, I also tell them that I will leave this situation clear with the sales agent from the beginning, after a brief discussion they ask me for the maintenance records of the truck from 3 months ago to prove that it has not been sitting for a whole year, two days after that request I send the maintenance records , they confirm receipt and after a few days I try to make my monthly payment and I realize that my online account is blocked, I call to ask why I have problems with my account and how the claim is going and they tell me that the claim cannot continue due to the same situationBusiness Response

On 8/29/22, a claim was filed under the contract. The repair facility reported that the consumers vehicle was towed in due to the vehicle overheating and an inability to start. The repair facility identified a warped head gasket as the cause of the failure. Endurance denied the claim as the head gasket is not eligible for repair, and damage resulting from overheating is not covered. Endurance excluded the claim under letters A and E in the Exclusions section of the contract, which states that coverage is not provided for
A. For any part not listed in the Schedule of Coverages for the Coverage and options You selected.
E. Engine block and cylinder heads are not covered if damaged by overheating, freezing or warping.
We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the details of the consumer's claim.

I am rejecting this response because: At the time of buying the insurance, I asked the seller about the parts coverage, he was very specific when mentioning that all the internal components of the engine would be covered by the policy throughout *****************, his words were ALL THE COMPONENTS AND ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR ENDURANCE MOTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE, if my statement is not enough I can request the recording of that conversation from ******** and begin to see how to file a lawsuit for fraud and why the seller uses manipulation verbally and makes use of a contract without knowing everything against and with the intention of harming the client. The intention of this claim is that Endurance compensates for all the lost time in calls, diagnoses and the money that was spent on the purchase of a product that was sold with lies and fraud, I would like to see the possibility of a refund from the first payment (insurance down payment) up to today's monthly payments and the payment of the mechanic's fees, which are $2,500 for diagnosis and pension of the truck from the day of the claim to date. or else that they make the guarantee valid

I purchased an extended warranty for my used car (2018 ***** ******************* about 3 years ago. I traded in my vehicle on August 26, 2022 and want to cancel the contract because I no longer own the vehicle. Also, if I'm owed any pro-rated premium I'd like to have that refunded to my checking account since this has been debited from my checking account. My contract number is: SAPE2206984.I have tried repeatedly to reach Endurance by phone and am always transferred to an "Account Specialist." I then wait on hold for at least ***************************************************************************** being given the option to get a return call. On Endurance's website there is a Chat option. I waited on that for about 10 minutes, receiving only autoreplies that they were getting an agent to help me.

Tried several times without success.Business Response

I purchased a warranty from Endurance on 7/1/22. The supreme coverage, which basically covers everything. Fast forward to today, 9/16 my vehicle is at ************* and they're stating that my car needs new suspension. The parts are covered via the contract. Endurance sent out an inspector to investigate and gather information. Upon conclusion, he determined that there was "misuse", meaning I drove the vehicle extensively without having it diagnosed, in which the claim would be denied, via section x tab D of the contract. *** sent documentations discrediting the claims of misuse, I also obtained a copy of the fault codes for the vehicle that shows when the indicator message flagged and also how far and long I drove after. Those things also discredits the inspectors "findings". In other words they just don't want to honor the contract and approve the claim because of pricing.Business Response

36 months / 50,000-mile coverage purchased with vehicle on 7/1/21 for $3,260. Vehicle towed to dealership of purchase on 8/2/22 for loss of power steering. Technician diagnosed failure to Power Steering Control Module. PSCM is an eligible part. Dealership repair center was unable to order a new PSCM unless ordering in addition to a new Rack Assembly. While the service agreement covers a new Rack Assembly, Endurance would not cover a replacement in this instance, as the current Rack Assembly was undamaged. Claim was denied. Technician reached out to Endurance executive via email to negotiate coverage, due to inability to order just a PSCM. Endurance maintained they would neither cover nor partially cover the cost of the part. Out-of-pocket repair cost $2,500.11 Claim# CL10741979Business Response

The consumers level of coverage, the ValueMax L2, is a stated-component coverage. All eligible components are listed by name in the Coverage section of the contract. Any part not listed in the Coverage section is not eligible for coverage under the Advantage Plus.
On ******************************************** filed a claim for repairs under the consumers contract. The shop reported that the rack assembly was inoperable due to a failure of the power steering module. Since the power steering module is not listed as an eligible component in the contract's Coverage section, the claim could not be authorized.

On 08/06/2022 I purchased a vehicle extended warranty from Endurance Warranty Services LLC. We were told that there is a 30 days + **** ********************* ******. At the time of purchase of contract the recorded miles was *******. On 09/08/2022 whilst dropping my wife off to work I heard a whining noise coming from the front of the car. I pulled aside and turned off the vehicle but didn't see anything unusual. I started the car and continued to drive the vehicle home. At this time time the car was at ******* miles. I called the warranty company and told one of the representatives about the noise I heard coming from the car. She advised me that I can take it to any mechanic shop and have them run a diagnostic and they'll take it from there. I managed to get the car towed to the shop on the said day (09/08/2022). The shop ran their diagnosis and I followed up with them on Friday 09/09/2022 when I was advised that I would need a new transmission. On Tuesday 09/13/2022 I received a call from the shop advising me that they submitted a claim to the warranty company but was denied! I asked why? The repair guy said that the warranty company is saying that I just passed my grace ****** and they are going to denied this claim as pre-existing. I called the warranty company to find out why is this? Because I am out of the grace ****** and have driven over ***** miles since I've purchased this contract. This is not may fault that the transmission is gone, I'm not a mechanic and if this was the case then they should have and should be doing inspections on all vehicles prior to selling us bogus contracts. They need to resolve this matter ASAP because I need my car to drop my kids to school.Business Response

The consumer contacted Endurance and purchased a service contract on 8/6/22. The service contract has a 30-day and ****-mile waiting period, both of which must elapse before any new failure is eligible. Any failure that occurs or begins to occur prior to the expiration of the waiting period is not eligible for coverage.
On 9/13/22, a claim was filed under the contract with a failure reported to the transmission. The repair facility reported that the vehicle arrived at the facility on 9/8 and stated that the vehicle heats up when driving on the highway, there is a whining noise present, and the vehicle loses power. The facilitys representative stated there were codes present indicating that the eye gear was slipping and that the front pump was bad. These findings indicated a long-term failure that would not first occur outside of the recently expired waiting period. The pre-existing failure was excluded by the contract terms, which state that coverage is not provided
I. For any Pre-Existing Condition, for any Breakdown that occurs, or begins to occur, prior to the expiration of the Waiting Period
