      I am currently a Csaa member I was Advised to use one of their recommended certified shops. Immediately after my vehicle was returned I experienced several ongoing new problems. Vehicle was returned to the shop then sent to the dealership. Csaa then in turn told me that it wasnt apart of the original problem. So now I have been paying huge amounts of money for failures to my vehicle out of pocket although I was told that the shop in question (********************) has a guarantee on their work. My vehicle was held two weeks past return date and when vehicle was returned, it broke down in less than 24hours and had to be towed back to the shop (which I paid for out of pocket) I do not understand how this is not fraud. I havent heard from my adjuster or her supervisor. I have gotten absolutely nowhere. Beware when obtaining Csaa auto insurance.

      I bought my 2016 Prius in June 2016 and informed *** at that time that I drove under 6000 miles a year. I did not receive this discount until a few days ago. Likewise, I attempted to get this discount from them over the past 8.5 years via calling them, at least a dozen times, which took up several hours of my time, as well as sent them emails. I went into the *** office on *********************, ****************, ***** in 2020, wherein the agent went out to my car and took the odometer reading. Attached is an email response I received. Apparently this agent put my mileage as 3000 a year. Then without notifying me, in 2022 they increased my yearly mileage to 8000+, thus eliminating the discount. I only got the discount a few days ago after telling the rep I was going to file a complaint with your agency.I think I should receive retroactive credit for the 8.5 years they did not do it. All I have been given is the run around from them. My mileage is, 5600 a year. I have had *** for at least 4 decades with no accidents or driving violations

      Complaint: 21300142

      I am rejecting this response because:
          Attached is an email that was included with my BBB complaint that I received from ***, February 2022, wherein they responded to my email to them regarding my not being able to receive the low mileage discount that I have requested from them for the last 5/6 years.  Obviously, *** will not admit that I have called about this at least a dozen times since buying my Prius new, in June 2016.  As stated in my original BBB complaint, after the numerous calls to them regarding this matter and not receiving the low mileage discount, I drove to the *** office on ********************* in late 2020 or early 2021, wherein the agent went to my car and documented the mileage.  For reasons unknown to me, he submitted my mileage as 3000 a year, which obviously incorrect.   After that, *** increased my mileage, without notifying me, to 8000 a year.   Their response to my complaint is nothing but gaslighting....that is my fault because they have no record of my calls.  The attached copy of the email proves that I have addressed this issue with them.  I believe I should get the retroactive yearly discounts, credited on this year's cost of auto insurance.  I will file a complaint with the California Department of Insurance as well. Thank you for your time and consideration

      On september 22, 2023, my vehicle was totaled outside my home. I informed CSAA of the loss and have been dealing with, or at least trying to, deal with them since. I used my vehicle for work so I was not able to work until I got another vehicle. I was told that we would attach my weekly pay statements for the month prior to the accident to the subrogation request to the at fault insurance company. I have been trying to get in touch with my adjuster, **************************************, multiple times but she ignored my requests for updates many times. I went to check on the status of my case and I saw that it has been closed but still no update from my adjuster. Not only do i want a response to my emails but also an update to my subrogation request since I lost thousands of dollars due to this case.

      Dear ********:

      We are in receipt of your offices inquiry. We have reviewed the complainants concerns to your department.

      Below you will find our response concerning this matter.

      We agreed to include any out-of-pocket expenses in our subrogation demand to the adverse carrier. However, these are not expenses incurred by us and therefore we do not have any right of recovery over these expenses. The adverse carrier did not issue payment for those expenses, and we have communicated with them to contact you directly to reimburse your lost wages. Any additional attempts to recover these wages would need to be pursued directly through the at fault parties insurance company.

      Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me at the number below. 

      Sincerely,

      I was overcharged because they did not have my current address. There is a lack of service for change of address. There is no information about it in their mobile app. And because I have paperless statements I never thought that they would need me to call them and tell them where I live. I also assumed they were in correspondence with the **** Which they are not. They are a multi million dollar company that has been overcharging me for a year. I want the full amount I have been overcharged credited to my account or returned to my bank account.

      I am rejecting this response because: I believe that it is not proper business practice to not have easy access to change of address and to bill nearly double the amount for a zip code 5 miles away. Highly irregular and definitely not above board. Make this right!! I have been a customer for almost 10 years. AAA owes me $700 for overpaid insurance.

      I purchased a brand new AAA battery on 7/5/2021 with 3 year warranty, installed by AAA roadside assistance team.Since Oct 2023 this battery start failing and deplete/drain itself within hours due to internal shortage (verified later by Liberty Auto, a AAA licensed auto electrical shop) , which is still under warranty.The battery failed twice since Oct 23rd 2023, called AAA and the driver tested the battery and concluded that my battery was in healthy condition and refused to replace the defective battery. 2 days later the battery failed again and another driver tested and claim the battery is healthy condition again and ask me to check for mysterious drain. Both tests was faulty and incorrect.So I stopped by **************************************** branch, and they also claimed the battery is healthy.All 3 false test results are due to the significant flaw in AAA battery inspection procedure, they all miss the battery internal shortage issue.That is the sole reason I had to bring it to ******************* in ******** and find out the root cause is the defective battery, and paid diagnose fee of $364, and they request AAA to get me a new battery since the bad one is under warranty. Without visiting a professional electrical shop like ******* Auto, there is no way I can make AAA accept the fact of defective battery. After 8 rounds of email with ERS team of AAA, they refuse to accept it's AAA's fault to misdiagnose the defective battery and cause customer to pay unnecessary diagnose fee. Therefore I am wring to request AAA NorthCal to apologize for their useless testing procedure and issue me reimbursement or AAA membership credits of $364 as the diagnose fee (PAID TO LIBERTY AUTO, not directly AAA). Thank you.***************

      AAA home insurance contacted me in early December via telephone to state they were not renewing my home owner policy. They followed up with a letter stating that the reason was because of excessive clutter around the exterior of the home. I contacted AAA and determined that they were basing their decision on a drone flyover during a time when I was repairing my deck, so had piles of lumber with tarps over them to protect them from the weather. I submitted all the documentation AAA asked to prove this, including receipts for the lumber, photos of the work in progress and completed, and photos of the property as it is today, clear of clutter. They responded that I now have to submit photos from December, before I got the letter, showing that the property was cleared. I believe this is just an excuse to cancel my policy, as there is no way I would have taken pictures of the land around my house during that time, since I didn't know someone was going to question it several months later. I submitted everything originally asked for, but now they are moving the goalpost.

      February 2, ****. I spoke with Supervisor ******************************* regarding my insurance claim that Ive had open since December 12, 2023. He informed me that since I was uninsured at the time of my accident due to Californias prop 213 I am not eligible to receive economical or non economic damages for my accident. Every article Ive read regarding prop 213 doesnt state anything about a person not being *********** economical damages if they are insured. Furthermore, When I spoke with the Injury adjuster on my claim ********************************* for the first time she stated in a recorded phone call that AAA DOES NOT pay medical bills directly & They will issue the check to me personally. Next time I spoke with ******************** she informed me that they will not issue the check to me directly they will issue it to Medi-******** case will be over after that. She also failed to mention anything about my economic damages such a loss wages that I am entitled too. Not only am I being lied too by highly trained professionals but Im being misinformed & given false & inaccurate information. They are purposely withholding information that is essential to me being fairly compensated & I will be speaking with my legal representative about this matter.

      I was involved in a parking lot collision on 12/15/2023 (claim #****-50-2514). I was driving straight in the parking lot, a **** F-250 crossed empty parking stalls and hit the front left side of my vehicle. I did not hit the vehicle head on or clip the vehicle. I was driving straight and other vehicle hit me. The driver almost committed the crime of a hit-and- run by walking away afterward. I obtained video footage of the collision and took photos. There were also two witnesses to the collision. All of this was presented to the claims adjuster. I spoke to the adjuster on the phone and then through email but heard nothing. I found out my vehicle was a total loss after calling the auto body shop myself. They told me all of the information was already given to the claims adjuster but I was never informed of that. I emailed the adjuster on 01/02/24 after not hearing anything from her and received a two sentence response stating my vehicle was a total loss and I would be receiving information about settlement options. I emailed the adjuster to see who was at fault and detailed why I was not at fault. I did not receive a response. I only found out via a letter that I was found 100% at fault. I also got a letter from the other partys insurance stating the same thing! I emailed the adjuster and she responded and stated that I hit the vehicle, which was stopped in a parking area. This was not correct and was corroborated by the video footage. The other vehicle was moving, not parked, and hit me. I sent another email of why I disagreed with her and she said I dont have to agree and can dispute the claim. I dont agree with their reasoning and findings of this claim. *** emailed her since and she will not tell me how to go about disputing the claim. *** left messages and emails and received no response from her or AAA. Im trying to dispute this claim and no one is trying to assist me. *** had a clean driving record since I began driving and this is my first collision.

      Dear ********:

      We are in receipt of your offices inquiry. We have reviewed the complainants concerns to your department.

      Below you will find our response concerning this matter.

      The complainant has indicated that they are not in agreement with our liability determination, finding them at fault for this loss. We received and reviewed video evidence of this loss that confirms the complainant merged into a parking space occupied by the adverse vehicle, causing this collision loss.

      Should you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me at the number below. 

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I did not merge into a parking spot. The video shows I was driving straight. At no point in the video does it show my vehicle merging into a parking space. The vehicle does show the other adverse vehicle making an illegal U-turn inside of the parking lot and driving through parking spots in the same lot. This contradicts both explanations from the claims adjuster who incorrectly stated the other vehicle was stopped (video shows it was not stopped) and that I merged into the parking spot. The damage from the other vehicle is on the front left end but moreso on the side instead of the front because the car was incorrectly driving through the parking space. This person almost committed a hit and run by walking away afterward and was still belligerent when police showed up; throwing vehicle parts away aggressively and driving around the parking lot in the presence of officers. The damage shows I wasnt at fault. No I dont agree with your determination that merged into the parking spot nor the first one that the other vehicle was stopped.


      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because: I did not cause this collision. Every response Ive gotten from AAA and even the other parties insurance have given the same false conclusion which changed to another false conclusion when disputed. I was first told I was 100% at fault because I collided with a vehicle that was not moving. My statement, which was backed by video footage clearly showed that was not correct. I was then told the other vehicle was occupying a parking space, that was not true. That vehicle was driving through a parking spot and came out right in front of my vehicle. I was told I merged into the parking spaces, video never shows that nor was that what I told the claims adjuster. Now this rebuttal from the company only states that they stand by what was originally determined, which was wrong. The damage to my vehicle shows this not to be true. How is it every time Ive disputed this I get a new explanation for their determination, which was wrong? The other driver made and illegal u-turn and drove through empty parking spaces and hit me. Definitely didnt see me and hit the front left side of my car. But I was determined to be at fault without any question. Just made a quick determination, barely any correspondence and then tried to hurry up the process without telling me I was at fault. Been a customer for almost *****, never had any previous issues, great driving record with this being the first accident Ive had and this is what this expensive company does? This whole experience has been terrible. This company ran through the motions and didnt do anything to help me including just throwing out incorrect determination varying explanations to close this out and move onto the next person. At the end of the day, AAA is a business that only cares about making money and not helping their customers. I still do not agree with this response and will most likely obtain an attorney.
