Have you called the dealership? I can't think of any part that would be backordered that long, and would make your vehicle undriveable. You got the vehicle checked and the part was ordered when in warranty. They must take care of the repair under warranty. This happens all the time, someone comes in with 35998 miles on their car, they come back 2 months later to get the work done. It's covered. |

Bought a car from dealer, 2000 Chevy Lumina, 72560 mile, Want to buy one year GMPP extend warranty. They give me a Valued Guard for 780$ only for one year. Any suggestion? |
|

Your best bet would be to put that $780 in a savings account for a rainy day. Value Guard is (more or less) a powertrain plan, covering the internal works of the engine and transmission. Any service contract you try to buy, considering the mileage and age of your car, will be costly. I'm not sure it would be worth it. My full opinion of service contracts can be read in my published works. (see extended warranty topics)

Thanks. 780$ can save me a power game PC. The car I bought from Chevy dealer is messy inside. I asked to clean the car inside out. The dealer promised to clean it after the deal. When I drove my car the next day, they just washed it outside by water. Shame on them. . |

I had a good extended warranty policy from WarrantyGold which was 7 year 100,000 miles. WarrantyGold went bankrupt in 2003 (I had 4 years more to go) and left all policy holders without coverage. The transmission in my 2000 Ford Windstar with 55,000 mi just went and will cost me $2,700. Is there anything I can do to get hep with this? Not the whole amount, but some would be very helpful. I read the following post by highrolla and gave me some hope. Any suggestions would be help. From highrolla. Like many others I was burned by NWIG and WG but am still a big believer on having 'peace of mind'. Just as I have Medical, Auto, and Home Insurance, I consider myself conservative when taking financial risks. I contacted my CC and completed a 'Charge-Back' since the company went insolvent and I began searching other companies. I learned it is very difficult for a warranty companty to sell in FLorida (because of regulated pricing, compnay background ect)and decided to begin there even though I libe in NY. I only found 3 compnaies and beagan speaking with all of them. 2 of the 3 were the typical 'slimy sales reps' only trying to close the deal and could care less about my Gold experience except for calling them thieves. The 3rd Compnay, WarrantyWarehouse.com rep was kind and informative. The rep I (think Melvin maybe MArvin) eductaed me on the industry and sypmathized with my problem with Gold. By the end of the 45 minute conversation I was confident this was the right compnay for me and wanted to enroll. Without even asking the rep put me on hold, got back on the line and discounted the policy, offerd a free payment plan, and a small deposit because of my situation with Gold. I am satisfied now, had my 1st repair over Xmas that was $1,800 that was a fine experience, and will recommed this compnay to anyone. Remeber, if you go to dinner and have a bad steak, are you never going to eat out again? I think not! I chose WarrantyGold because of the best price and now I have to deal with that....Now I chose a compnay based on price, representation, past history and more importantly 'gut feeling'. Do not be mad at the warranty companies, realize like I did that I chose the wrong compnay for the wrong reasons and learned my lesson. I am happy now!!!

No service contract company will sell you a contract, then pay for your transmission to be fixed. They will call it a 'preexisting condition' Unless you lie and they don't know the trans is junk. Buy the contract, wait 30 days, get your trans fixed and submit a claim. This is known as Fraud, however, and you could be fined. I wouldn't try it. Just fix the van, or get a new one. You could try calling your Ford dealer and asking for some Goodwill assistance. Might get help, might not. Since it's a 5 (or 6) year old van, I wouldn't hold my breath. |

We bought a 2003 Buick Rendezvous 2 weeks ago. We were really mislead and lied to by this dealership and need some help and advice. Our sales man told us that we absolutly had to purchase the extended warrenty (which we knew we wanted) right then and there. He told us we could not buy one after we bought the car. He convinced us to get the $100 deductible on the 60 month or 75,000 mile GMPP plan we wanted....saying that we only paid that deductible the first time we used it. The dealership charged us $2900.00 on this General Moters warrenty. Since then, I called GMPP and found out that we have to pay the $100 every time you bring it to the shop! I have looked into Black Pontiac Dealership and I deffinalty want to go thru them!! (According to Black Pontiac the same warranty we bought has a list price of $1870 and they sell it for $1400....the $0 deductible which we now know that we want has a list price of $2170 and they sell it for $1700). So the dealership we bought it from over charged us $1,000 dollars...we could get the $ 0 deductible for much less then what we paid!!! Here's the thing, GMPP told me that I cannot cancel it from my dealer and get it from Blacks...they say once you buy it, you cannot ever get it again on that veichle! I called the Buick Company and all they could do was note the complaint about my dealership. Does anyone know what to do? Are their any loop holes in the GMPP warrenty? We really want to stay with GM and switch to the $ 0 deductible. The dealership will not help us as of right now....but I have messages in to alot of people there. If not, what are other warranties that are equally as good as GMPP? Thanks, I appreciate any and all advice........... |

I was told it was Canadian so the warranty was void. I live in Washington State. Lots of people buy Canadian cars here through auto brokers or dealers who have rental returns. Anyway, i thought no problem, I'll just buy an extended warranty at my credit union. No big deal. That was years ago and low and behold I have the "tranmission problem." My warranty company insisted Honda do a pressure test and the dealer said, "no, we know what the problem is because it's on a national bulletin, the code came up and we do the new transmission. We aren't going to spend shop time and money on a pressure test when we know what the problem is." When the ICWS agent insisted, one of the Honda techs mentioned that they have a "recall" issued through Honda on this transmission but that since it was a Canadian vehicle, they can't service it on the extended warranty. Since I never got a letter from Honda USA or Honda Canada, I didn't know the difference. Now the ICWS guy is saying he won't cover ANY known issues because it's "gray market" and Honda USA and Honda Canada are saying "sorry but we don't cover you" either. ICWS said they would cover it IF there wasn't a "recall" on it. But Honda USA says it's not their problem. Honda Canada says check with Honda USA. The Honda dealer wants over $4K to replace the transmission and I don't have that kind of money. My car broker who sold the car to me cussed out the ICWS people then said he would contact his Honda dealers and get back to me. Who should pay here, or am I sol?
