      On April 19, 2025, the insured, ******* *****, sideswiped my legally parked vehicle and left the scene without leaving contact information. I located her vehicle with matching damage in her parking lot and contacted the police, who confirmed the connection. I contacted CSAA (AAA Insurance) and filed a claim.I provided photographs of my vehicles damage and of the insureds vehicle showing matching impact, along with my account of the events. Despite this, on May 19, 2025, CSAA denied liability, claiming insufficient evidence and relying on the insureds denial of involvement.I have repeatedly attempted to resolve this matter, including giving CSAA the opportunity to pay for the $3,200 in damages before pursuing legal action. They have refused. I have now filed a small claims case in Multnomah County Circuit Court against their insured and issued a subpoena to CSAA for the insureds address and complete claim file.I believe CSAA has acted in bad faith by ignoring clear evidence, taking their insureds word over the physical damage facts, and failing to act reasonably to resolve a straightforward liability claim.I am requesting CSAA immediately accept liability and reimburse me for the $3,200 vehicle repair cost plus my $102 filing fee to avoid further litigation.

      Dear Disputes Resolution Specialist:

      We are in receipt of your offices inquiry. We have reviewed the complaint to your department which was submitted on August 2, 2025. I have provided the information you requested below. After a thorough review of the claim file, we have determined that the available evidence does not establish liability or involvement on the part of our insured. Accordingly,we have denied both our insureds involvement and the claim. We understand this is not the outcome the claimant was seeking; however, based on the facts and documentation presented, we believe this is the correct and appropriate decision.

      Sincerely,
      ******* ******

      Complaint: 23689249

      I reject CSAAs response. Their statement ignores key facts, omits critical evidence, and mischaracterizes the situation.

      The insured admitted involvement in both telephone communications and a voicemail message, which has been provided to CSAA.

      The ************************** located the insureds vehicle shortly after the incident and confirmed matching damage between her car and mine.

      Police assisted in contacting the insured, who promised to take responsibility and resolve the matter civilly. Based on that promise, I agreed not to pursue criminal hit-and-run charges.

      The insured has since refused to pay, and CSAA has chosen to disregard the insureds own admission, photographic evidence, and police confirmation.


      CSAAs claim that the available evidence does not establish involvement is simply false. They have not explained why the insureds admission and police-verified damage are being disregarded, nor have they offered any alternative explanation for the damage.

      I have now filed a small claims case in Multnomah County Circuit Court and issued a subpoena to CSAA for the insureds address and full claim file. If CSAA believes its denial is defensible, it will have the opportunity to present that position under oath.

      I remain open to resolving this matter promptly and fairly without further litigation if CSAA will accept liability and pay the $3,200 repair cost plus my $102 court filing fee.

      Sincerely,

      ***** *****

      Dear Disputes Resolution Specialist:

      Following the claimants continued dispute of our prior response, we have again reviewed the claim file in its entirety, including all evidence and statements provided. The documentation does not support a finding of liability or involvement by our insured.

      As a result, our decision to deny the claim remains unchanged.

      We understand the claimant disagrees with our conclusion; however, our determination is based on the facts, the available evidence, and our obligations under applicable policy provisions and governing standards. Without new or substantive information that would alter the findings, we must uphold our original position.

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 23689249

      I reject the businesss response.

      CSAA is repeating their position without addressing the actual evidence already provided. Their insured verbally admitted involvement during a phone call and in a voicemail these recordings were provided to CSAA.

      The ************************** located the insureds vehicle, visually confirmed that the damage matched my vehicles damage, and contacted the insured directly. Police declined to pursue criminal charges only because the insured promised to take responsibility and handle the matter civilly.

      This is not a lack of evidence it is a refusal to acknowledge:

      The insureds own admission (recorded).

      Photographs showing clear matching impact damage.

      Police involvement confirming the match and the insureds commitment to resolve the matter.


      CSAAs refusal to engage with this evidence is not consistent with a fair claims process. I will be pursuing this matter through small claims court and the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation. I remain willing to resolve this matter without litigation if CSAA will reassess liability based on the facts already provided.

      The reviews for CSAA auto insurance appear to be regarding AAA. The two entities are different and confuse me, the consumer. I have both AAA and CSAA. One, AAA, pertains to issues when your car is out if operation whereas CSAA is auto insurance used when your car was injured in an accident. The two are different. The reviews I read on this web site pertain to AAA. NOT CSAA. That means the ratings for CSAA are not accurate. I have had amazing service with CSAA. My claims were always paid quickly. For my last claim CSAA had to go to arbitration because the other insurer's company did not pay the claim even when there was a police report issuing a ticket to the person who hit me. I was able to have my car repaired where ever I wanted. No dictation saying you can only go to a specific second rate repair shop. I also have had great service with ***. They towed my car to where ever I wanted it taken. Responded timely and were very courteous.

      On 11/21/24 my son ****** ****** was rear ended by ******* ****** , an insured of Triple A she smashed into my son while he was legally parked . Triple A took full responsibility but is attempting to settle his claim for a mere $369, even though his employer granted him 6 months off to recover . After the adjuster ******** ***** and I exchanged words due to her snaky attitude and unprofessional demeanor . I filed two complaints against her with two superiors . It was then she rejected the employers granting of the six months off to my son to heal . This adjuster went further to contact someone in the HR department of CEO and conjured up some type of story , now the employer is claiming ****** was granted 3 days off even though ******** ***** has the first letter proving he was indeed granted six months off . Prior to her nasty demeanor she sent me an email confirmation stating ****** is owed the $14,000 in loss wages . The only fair resolution to this matter is for Triple A to settle this claim for the $14,000 they owe ****** ****** .

      We contacted the complainant on July 29, 2025, to address their concerns.This is a value dispute regarding the complainants sons wage loss claim. The complainant is requesting approximately 6 months in wage loss to resolve her sons claim. However, we have evaluated all the documents the complainant has submitted and the medical documentation we received does not support the requested duration of time.

      We have explained this to the complainant and advised should they have additional supports to submit, to please forward for our review.

      We will continue to work with the complainant to reach an amicable resolution.

      On 4th march 2025 I had a battery failure in ********************** near *********************. I called AAA and they sent a technician who replaced the battery.

      We have again reviewed this damage complaint and want to reiterate

      fter extensive review of your claim, we cannot determine that the driver from Auto Tech Towing is responsible for the damage to your vehicle. Due to the type of damage that was reported, the equipment that was used and the diagnostics provided to us - we cannot place responsibility on Auto Tech Towing.
      It appears to be a common problem with this specific vehicle. We have been unable to determine whether the cause stemmed from the discharged battery, the replacement battery, or a combination of both. Consequently, we are deeming this issue inconclusive. 
      We are unable to find the contract station responsible for the damage.  We did not find conclusive evidence that the Auto Tech Towing driver was negligent when changing your battery.
       However, our decision is not binding. If you still feel that Auto Tech Towing was responsible for the damage, you may pursue this matter with them. In this case the service was provided by an independent contractor, and not AAA Northern California, Nevada & **** (AAA ****) employees or agents.  Although we hold our independent contractors to a high standard of service, we cannot control the method, manner and means in which such services are rendered. Accordingly, AAA **** is not legally liable for the acts or omissions and is not responsible for the misconduct or negligence of independent contractors.

      Sincerely,

      I ordered *** services for my grandchildren (at their address) and paid for the service. The money was accepted June 17 2025 on my Citi MasterCard. They didn't send my grandchildren their cards at their email address, as I entered it and I called, spoke to "******" and she sent it out(they got the cards on email) but ****** said she'd mail it to their address( I verified it with her). Today, June 24 2025, I got the cards for my granddaughters sent to MY address. ****** #******, supervisor of membership services, refused to send cards to my granddaughters at their address unless they called him. I paid for the membership. I want the cards to be sent to their address, not my billing address. *** refuses to do that. "That's not what they do". I send many, many gifts to my grandchildren at their addresses and bill it to mine. I've never had a business say it had to go to my address because they send it to the 'bill to' address. I don't think *** should be allowed to do this since I'm paying for it. They are disrespecting customers and forcing them to live at the bill to address. This is absurd. I want an apology and the cards sent to my grandchildren's address, not mine.The *** is the *** of Northern California and Nevada. BBB doesn't accept this so I had to choose another ***.

      On April 15, 2025, I contacted *** after my 2006 ************* ML 350 wouldnt start due to a dead key fob battery. A first responder was dispatched to jump the vehicle. During that attempt, he realized the vehicle could not be shifted into neutraland he was the one who placed the tow request, not me. As a result, I was never asked any questions relevant to what the tow truck would need to know.The AAA tow driver arrived visibly frustrated and unpreparedhe had no hitch, no dollies, and blamed me for not disclosing the neutral issue. He later admitted he wasnt told and stated they sent the wrong truck. He seemed to question what options he had and ultimately rationalized using only the skates on hand to drag the vehicle. The car was delivered to my home but couldnt be unloaded without assistance, requiring a second tow truck. Drivers abandoned the job without disclosing beeping or report to shop warning message. Same day diagnostic confirmed to related damage to undercarriage. Multiple professionals confirmed this type of damage was consistent with an improper towspecifically from the vehicle being winched backward while stuck in park, causing gear engagement and undercarriage strain. Despite this, ESIS attempted to close the claim by authorizing only the fuse box repair, which they acknowledged was damaged during their roadside handling.Ive since been passed between AAA, ESIS (their third-party administrator), and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, with no consistent accountability. Ive received conflicting updates on whether my rental car would be covered, creating ongoing uncertainty around how long Ill have access to transportation and who is responsible for the ******** made two offers of $2,575.

      Problem:
      On Sunday, July 13, my son and I called AAA Roadside Assistance to tow his motorcycle that was broke down on Highway 70 freeway near *********** (our home). We informed the dispatcher that we were NOT in a safe place and she assured us that a tow truck would be there shortly. Our initial call to Roadside Assistance was approximately at 4:30 pm. We waited with the motorcycle on the freeway. 60 minutes passed, then 2 hours passed, and around 6:45pm we received a text saying that a driver was on his way. Fast forward to 8:30 pm. Still nobody has come. I then receive a text around 9:00 pm saying once again that a driver is on his way. Nobody ever showed. Finally at 4:30 AM (yes AM) we receive a call saying that they never could find anyone to tow us. My son stayed with the motorcyle until he received the final phone call stating that nobody could come. My son came home then and slept for a couple of hours after being up all night waiting on a roadside assistance. I then drove him back to the motorcycle, but it was gone. I then called around to tow yards and discovered that it has been towed by the California Highway Patrol. If your familiar with tow yard fees you'll know that they are very expensive. We do not have the money to get the motorcycle out. So, it sits there. Now the bill is up to over $2000 to get the motorcycle. This is a vintage mororcycle, has over $50,000 dollars worth of chrome and upgrades, and means so much to my son. We feel that *** should pay to have the motorcyle taken out the impound. It certainly was not our fault that they failed us. i

      Been with *** since a teenager at 16 just driving. Fast forward to decades later the past few years have been filled with horrible and horrendous customer service to even attempt to get ************ I called in today (June 24 2025) to inquire about a service and was told by the *** that my AAA has been "suspended". I have never had service be suspended before and am paid up for an entire year. I have not received an email, not a call, not a text, nothing in the mail regarding my account. How does one suspend a customer's account without even contacting the customer.I spent quite a bit of time today, including leaving CSAA - HQ in ************ a voicemail, only to be ignored. When I did call in to the main AAA number, I was told nothing other than I cannot use what I paid for the annual subscription that's it's suspended.This is outrageous and unacceptable to take a annual renewal payment from a customer and then "suspend" all services across ***. And on top of that, not even inform the customer.I would like a full reimbursement for my entire year paid for and I will happily be done with AAA forever! I will be reporting elsewhere on the conduct of *** in this situation.For the record - I was one or the State Farm non-renewals for wildfires in ** and had called AAA Insurance side last fall and again recently to inquire on a homeowners policy. It was a horrible experience where the *** was working from home and asking all sorts of very private information such as my marital status, address, DOB, SSN, etc. and even said he pulled up my State Farm information. I told this *** I was very concerned about my privacy and how my ******** was being handled by him as I could hear a child and lady right by the phone. I was very upset over this breach of my data and reported it to ***. To-date, I have heard zero back.I will be reporting this breach of my PII/data where appropriate for this to be looked at.

      I am rejecting this response because the matter in question has NOT been resolved. AAA Roadside is still saying account is suspended! Despite *** Corporate staing to me several times, the account is in good standing.

      I have been a member of California State Automobile Association for over 10 years and have had very good service with everything. Recently, I have had tremendous difficulty in getting answers in involving another vehicle hitting my parked car on June 12, 2025 near where I live. I provided all the information to her and have not heard back maybe once or twice. The best way to contact this person is by email and that to me is very frustrating. No other updates have been provided as of Tuesday or Wednesday. I want to make sure they track down the person and hold them fully responsible.
