  I purchased a 2019 chevrolet equinox on (june 7th 2024) and bought the "lubrico drivers shield warranty" which i paid an extra $1806.87 for this warranty. I was under the assumption that this package covers everything from the engine to electrical issues and so forth. It is now (august 13 2025) and the electric power steering has failed. I called lubrico to make a warranty claim but they said the electronic steering is NOT covered and ONLY the alternator and starter are covered under this package so my claim got denied right away. They will cover the cost of a replacement engine (rebuild) along with other things that exceed thousands of dollars but not this issue. If i knew this warranty only covered those few things for electrical i would of never got it or got a package that covered everything from head to toe. Im currently laid off from work and dont have the funds to get the car fixed and without the power steering its very hard to drive and very dangerous while driving and i have 2 toddlers that i need to commute with which makes it scary at times. I feel hopeless and stuck and now i will probably have to deal with this for a long time until i can find work and save up money.I would truly appreciate if they could reach out to me and help me with this claim in good faith because i feel like i was misleaded into understanding this would cover any issue minus wear and tear items which i understand.I dont understand the fact that they would cover the cost of an engine replacement but not a power steering issue. I have learned a ****** and in the future i will definitely be extra cautious to what is said vs what is actually covered and hopefully others learn from my mistake aswell

  Hello, and thank you for forwarding the complaint on behalf of ***** *******.

  Lubrico Warranty can confirm that a 36 month / ****** km Driver's Shield Warranty was applied to ***** ********* 2019 Chevrolet Equinox in June 2024. 

  The Driver's Shield Warranty provides specific component coverage for certain vehicle components. The components covered by the warranty are clearly listed on all warranty documentation and brochures to ensure complete transparency, allowing warranty holder's to clearly understand the extent of their coverage at time of sale

  The issue reported with the vehicle relates to a component of the electric power steering system which is not a component covered under the Driver's Shield warranty. 

  Lubrico understands the disappointment that the vehicle owner may feel at this time.Unfortunately, Lubrico Warranty can not assist with the replacement of components of the electric power steering system as electric power steering components are not included as part of the coverage of a Driver's Shield Warranty. 

  
  Best Regards, 
  Lubrico Warranty Claims Team.

  I am rejecting this response because: there are more then 3 things that are electrical to a vehicle, might as well not even cover electrical if its so vague. Well I guess it is what it is, hopefully the motor blows up or something major happens so I can get my money worth. I will not recommend this warranty to anyone!!!

  Ive purchased a car in may 21 /2024 with a lbrico warranty for three mon. On June 16 I went to the repair shop and they realized that the car had a broken suspension and they sent the claim to lbrico. After one hour a person for lbrico, called me telling that the warranty doesnt cover this kind of job, but anyways we paid the warranty. So what is the purpose of paying a warranty if they dont cover?? In extremely disappointed with them

  Purchased a Lubrico Warranty in Jan 2024. The vehicle needed repairs immediately and they covered nothing. Fast forward to now and the car is being written off leaving us with no vehicle because the amount insurance is giving us will not cover the car. Lubrico has refused to refund the remainder of the warranty on a car that will be scrapped.

  *************** purchased the vehicle from one of our dealers in January of this year.The dealer marked it up, which is normal. This means the warranty holder paid $2,000 plus tax for his warranty.
  On May 21st, 2014, Lubrico paid a $100 towing claim on the warranty, which was likely due to the vehicle's accident.
  
  Lubrico Warrantys Support Team have had 3 conversations with the warranty holder since that time and explained our answer in situations like this...
  
  We explained to the warranty holder that the warranty is not cancellable for a refund or that the warranty is not transferrable to another vehicle, as the warranty is attached to a car/vehicle,and not an Owner.  We gave the only available answer to the warranty holder as being if he had purchased a new vehicle and a Lubrico Warranty from the dealership he bought, his current vehicle from that transaction, we will work with the dealer to get a prorated refund applied to the cost of his new warranty.  Since then, we have heard nothing from this customer other than this complaint he lodged with the BBB.

  My 20 year old son bought a 2018 Chrysler 300 from ********************* dodge in august. It started having over heating issues they told him it would likely be about 200 to find out what was wrong. Called Belleville dodge they were cheaper had it towed to them found out there is a crack in the rad and it needs a thermostat and this all isnt covered by the lubrico warranty he was sold doesnt cover it and they have quoted him $4100!! This is insane not only did the salesman take advantage of a young man with a learning disability he sold him a very over priced car 168km and was 36k. a warranty that seems to be useless. It is currently sitting at Belleville dodge awaiting my sons decision to fix it. not sure exactly what this lubrico warranty covers but one would think this would be under it!

  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We understand the frustration that can arise when a warranty doesnt meet the expectations of the buyer once purchased.
  
  Lubrico Warranty has agreed to pay $1,615 plus taxes, towards the cost of the repairs to the customers vehicle.  Lubrico has paid the repair shop directly.  We have spoken to the customer, and they are happy with our gesture of goodwill, understanding now that the failed items are not normally covered by her sons Drivers Shield warranty.
  
  Our aim is always to ensure customer satisfaction, and we're pleased that we could assist in this instance.  We value your business and hope that this resolution demonstrates our commitment to providing excellent service.
  
  If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.  Thank you for the communication and continued support.
  
  Best regards,

  My son and I purchased a used 2018 ********** **** ********* with 111264 km on it from ******** Auto in Calgary AB on Sept 14,2022 for $21,500.00 plus fees and tax . Along with the Car we also purchased a Lubrico Warranty Powertrain Protection plan. we paid an additional $2308.95 for this warranty. After only 60 days of driving the car to and from work 30 km round trip the car broke down. We contacted the dealer and they told to take it to the Warranty approved Auto Service centre. Having done so, we discovered that it needed a new water pump and Thermostat. Once fixed we were handed a bill for $941.85 and told that when they contacted Lubrico about covering the cost , were informed the repairs were not covered. what is the point of a warranty if nothing is covered. We paid out of our own pockets all related expenses such as towing and car rental. we could have put the $2308 into a savings account and used for just such a purpose. This will be the last Warrant we ever buy.. we are asking that they cover our repair bill. Otherwise the Warranty is NOT WORTH THE PAPER IT WRITTEN ON. We are just simple folk trying to get by. We Require a settlement. If nothing is reached we will be going to the Media. People need to understand what corporate greed looks like. Thanks again. ****** ***

  Good Day and thank you for forwarding the complaint you received. 

  I am very sorry to hear of the disappointment expressed by the Complainant. We at Lubrico take these matters very seriously and always strive to administer the Policies we offer as reasonably and fairly as possible. 

  The Vehicle Protection Policy purchased by the Complainant was for two years of Powertrain Protection, with the additional inclusion of  the "Seals & Gaskets" option. The parts covered by this Policy are all detailed on the contract, but unfortunately does not include coverage of the vehicle's water pump or thermostat.

  In consideration of the above, while the failure was not covered, if the Complainant could please forward to me by email ([email protected]) copies of the invoices he paid, I will be more than happy to review and consider some goodwill assistance.

  In addition, I see on the Complainant's file that we have authorized some towing assistance - subject the available per incidence amount of $75.00 (plus HST). I simply require a copy of the paid towing invoice so we can process a payment for up to this amount.

  I hope the explanation helps clarify our position and I look forward to working with the Complainant to find a reasonable resolution to his concern. If he has any difficulty emailing me the required information or has any questions, he is welcome to contact me by email or at 1 800 265 1510, ext. 351250.  

  Thank you for your time and Best Regards,

  For Lubrico Warranty Inc.,

  Doug Harris

  We purchased a 2 year Lubrico warranty in February, 2022 for a 2012 ****** Quest. At the beginning of August the check engine light came on with the code P1778. Our mechanic advised it was an transmission code. We contacted Lubrico who recommended we use Transmission Technology. When we contact their shop they mentioned it could not be repaired and the transmission had to be replaced. We were also advised that only a used transmission would be available as new and rebuilt were not available at that time. The cost would be the same as putting in a new transmission due to current supply chain issues.
  
  Our mechanic advised that the transmission could be repaired based on his research and we authorized the repair. It is now fully repaired and working fine.
  
  When we contacted Lubrico they denied the claim as we were supposed to use the transmission shop they recommended (they had not approved using our trusted mechanic). We are now out of pocket $4,200 for a transmission repair. We purchased a warranty for $1,400 that was suppose to provide $3,000 worth of coverage per repair with a $150 deductible.
  
  We would like Lubrico to honour the warranty that we purchased. I realize that the contract states we have to use their garage but their garage would not repair the transmission and new transmissions were not available. This vehicle was used for our home day care business and it was sitting waiting for a transmission to come into stock, with no availability date. We needed to get the vehicle back on the road.
  
  We appreciate anything that can be done to help us resolve this issue.
