Taken by phone staff CM. Consumer states she took her car to a ******* dealership because her oil light was coming on and going off. On Nov 12th they did an oil change and told her to bring it back in ***** miles to see how much oil was used/lost. After inspecting the problem, they informed her they wanted to break the car down so the warranty company can look at it and gave her a rental. Easycare came out to look at the car in Dec and denied the claim saying they didn't see what they needed to see. Consumer states she has called Easycare several times trying to find out why it was denied. Consumer states she is being told that they will not tell her the reason for the denial and it is for their eyes only and cannot release that info to her. She paid $800 for the breakdown of the front of the car. Consumer states the car was at dealership for 5 months while going back and forth with Easycare.

I purchased a Motortrend Certified used vehicle 2021 **** RS7 (VIN: *****************) from ****************, with ****** miles at the time of purchase. As part of the Motortrend Certified program, I was provided a complimentary EasyCare extended warranty (contract #: MLWD8127DC20) and also purchased an additional EasyCare extended warranty (contract #: VSCE2ACFCF48) for extended coverage.On May 24, 2025, I brought the vehicle to **** Pasadena for service. A coolant leak and torn upper link bushings were discovered during a routine multi-point inspection. EasyCare sent an inspector to assess the issues, but later denied the claim, stating the problems were pre-existing conditions.I have made multiple attempts to resolve the situation by contacting both EasyCare and ****************. The dealership insists the car was fully inspected and any issues would have been addressed during the Motortrend Certification process. EasyCare, however, claims otherwise and refuses to cover repairs unless the dealership calls to confirm the vehicle was problem-free at the time of sale.This has left me, the customer, caught between two partieseach deflecting responsibilityand without support, despite holding valid warranty coverage. Neither EasyCare nor **** West County has taken meaningful steps to resolve this dispute.Desired Resolution:I request that EasyCare honors the extended warranty coverageeither the complimentary or purchased contractand covers the cost of the following repairs:Coolant leak Torn upper link bushings If EasyCare continues to claim the problems were pre-existing, they should communicate directly with **** West County to review the Motortrend Certified inspection records and determine eligibility, instead of requiring the consumer to facilitate this.I am seeking BBB assistance as a final attempt to resolve this issue before pursuing legal action.Business Response

This letter serves as formal notice of dispute regarding the denial of warranty coverage for my 2016 *** M4 (VIN: GP969799). After reviewing the facts and the inspectors report, we respectfully contest the decision. The denial appears inconsistent with the Easy Care Warranty and does not reflect the actual sequence of events or technical findings.I. Coverage of Manufacturer-Installed Components The components in questionincluding the intercooler, seals, and gasketsare original equipment installed by *** at the factory. These are not aftermarket parts and are clearly covered under the Easy Care Warranty. Denying coverage contradicts the warrantys stated protections.II. Prior Notification, Repair Attempts, and Continuing Issues Shortly after acquiring the vehicle, I reported an intercooler leak to ****. Despite holding the vehicle for nearly three months, the issue was not resolved at that time. Although the intercooler was eventually repaired, the vehicle has since developed serious engine issues. Most notably, oil contamination has been detected, indicating possible internal engine damage. This may be linked to the original cooling system failure and could involve turbocharger degradation or the introduction of contaminantsissues requiring thorough diagnostics to detect.III. Inadequate Technical Review and Request for Reassessment If the initial inspection did not fully explore the link between the intercooler failure and engine damage, we request a supplemental technical evaluation. Please provide documentation detailing the scope of diagnostics performed, including whether the intercooler, turbocharger, oil system, and related components were assessed per industry standards.We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a fair reassessment of our claim.Business Response

Complaint: 23539768
As we've repeatedly stated, the damage to the intercooler and engine occurred during the approximately five-month period in which **** operated the vehicle extensivelywell before any tuning was carried out.
We have reviewed the invoice from ****, which confirms that no engine repairs were performed during their possession of the vehicle. Instead, the document details inspections and repairs related to brakes, tires, headlights, and other non-engine components.
Importantly, **** continued to operate the vehicle throughout this time despite the service engine light being illuminated. This prolonged use under known fault conditions directly contributed to the intercoolers failure and resulted in further damage to the engine. Because this damage stemmed from extended operation in spite of a clear warningan issue that should have been addressed under warrantythe warranty provider is responsible for covering the necessary engine repairs.
Sincerely,

I have a 2019 GMC ****** that recently had an oil cooler line failure which caused the entire engine to seize and now has to be replaced. When I purchased the vehicle, I was sold the EasyCare ************ package which is advertised as complete bumper to bumper coverage. If you call EasyCare and ask about this coverage, they will give you this fantastic sales pitch explaining how you are buying peace of mind with this because you won't have to worry about anything if you have it. This could not be further from the truth. When my claim was submitted, it was denied after 3 weeks sitting at the dealership. When you look closer at the verbiage in the fine print of your contract, they have a long list of items they do not cover for various reasons. So after all this occured, I am now having to pay close to $10,000 out of pocket instead of my $250 deductible. The bottom line is, this company is charging for a deceptive and misleading warranty that is doing nothing more than scamming it's consumers out of thousands of dollars.Business Response

My son took my car in due to A/C system failure. Dealer stated ********** failed. They charged him over $850. I have a $250 deductible. They told him the Freon is not covered. My warranty states fluid as part of the job is covered. It is physically impossible to change an A/C Compressor without purging all freon first and then replacing it when the new unit is installed. One cannot test the A/C system or start the vehicle without having freon in the system. Otherwise the new compressor would be damaged instantly. How would one know if the new system even worked properly without charging the system with freon. I wanted the freon covered. I called EasyCare and they told me they could not help me. This is a scam. I will take it up with the *********************** for fraud if i do not get recourse here. All I want is a refund for the freon and recharge. I attached 2 complicated bills and my warranty sheet.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern,I am filing this complaint against EasyCare APCO Holding regarding a warranty claim denial that I believe was unfair and contradicts the intent of my vehicle service contract.On 06-02-25 , I had my vehicle serviced due to a whining noise that was diagnosed as an issue with the serpentine belt system. The technician determined that the idler pulley needed replacement, along with the belt tensioner and potentially a bolt. I submitted a claim under my vehicle service contract, expecting coverage for these items, which are clearly related to the belt and pulley system.However, the claim was denied on the grounds that the contract lists "pulleys" and "tensioners" but does not specifically list timing tensioner or "idler pulley." I find this reasoning unreasonable and misleading. The idler pulley is a type of pulley that is essential to the function of the serpentine system and is typically understood to be included under the generic term pulleys. If the contract specifies pulleys, it should include all relevant types especially those directly tied to the belt drive mechanism.This service should have been covered, and I am requesting this matter to be paid for by the warranty company.A copy of the warranty policy page referencing covered components A written or verbal statement from the company explaining the denial (if available)I am also concerned that the wording of the contract may be intentionally vague to allow denial of legitimate claims, which could be considered deceptive.I respectfully request the BBB to help facilitate a resolution, which in this case should be:1. A review and clarification of their policy language regarding pulley-related components 2. Paid for repairs by warranty company Thank you for your time and assistance.Sincerely,****** ****** ************ ************************* 2020 Ram 1500 Big HornBusiness Response

After YEARS of paying premiums on an advertised "Bumper to Bumper" extended warranty policy, I've now had my claim denied because of a hidden exclusion that says we cover parts unless an excluded part (such as a spark plug wire) fails causing damage to another part. Of course, while EasyCare has had its pockets lined for years with my premiums, they now refuse to even reach a middle ground to help cover the cost. Customers with ********************** are deceptively sold a "trap door" policy that lures them in at the time of purchase, only to have the carpet pulled out from under their feet when it matters most. Cars don't exist in a vacuum of parts that work independently of each other. They're assembled together and rely on each other to work. EasyCare knows this and opts to manipulate and take advantage of customers' false security in purchases their extended warranty only for them to play gotcha later and deny a claim. This is theft at worst and deceptive trade practice at least. It should be investigated by the *** and is most certainly a claim I'll intend to pursue under the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act.Business Response

On May 8th, 2025, I had my 2011 Buick Regal CXL towed to ***** ****** / authorized Buick repair shop for mechanical issues covered by my EasyCare extended warranty (Policy Number: VSCC70B011F1). Despite providing the necessary oil change records and responding promptly to requests, my service request has been egregiously delayed.The service department says they have tried to contact EasyCare (Administrator: APCO) numerous times at ************** without success. The administrator only responded to request my service records. Then they requested that I resend an oil change record due to a supposed cut-off date, which was false as the date was visible; albeit small. These delays have left my car stranded at the dealership for over two weeks, disrupting my life and causing financial stress. Memorial Day weekend is upon us and I am without a vehicle or a rental car. EasyCares continued lack of response and communication has stalled necessary repairs, despite clear compliance with warranty requirements. This situation is unacceptable and seems to be a deliberate delay.?Desired Resolution:Immediate processing and approval of my warranty claim.Written explanation if EasyCare continues to delay or denies my claim, including next steps for escalation or appeal.Business Response
