I purchased a 2018 ***** Accord on September 25, 2025, along with an extended warranty from GWC Warranty. The Carfax report at the time of purchase showed no prior issues or accidents. After about ten days, the vehicle developed a mechanical problem. I took it to ***** of ************, where a claim was submitted to GWC Warranty for repair coverage. The company denied the claim, alleging the issue existed before purchase a statement that is completely false, as verified by the clean Carfax report and initial inspection. Despite providing all documentation, GWC Warranty continues to refuse coverage, causing financial loss and inconvenience. I am attaching the following supporting documents: Carfax report (showing clean history) Extended warranty contract Initial repair estimate from ***** of ************ I request BBB assistance in compelling GW Warranty to honor its contractual obligations under the extended warranty agreement.**** ********** ************ ********************************

Thank you for your update regarding my complaint against GW Warranty.
I would like to inform you that I am being charged daily storage and delay fees by ***** *********** because the vehicle has been waiting too long for repair authorization.
Since GW Warranty has delayed and refused to cover the repair so far, I have no choice but to proceed with the repair to stop further financial loss.
I will keep all receipts and intend to seek reimbursement from GW Warranty for all repair costs paid to ***** ***********, as the delay and related charges are a direct result of their actions.
Furthermore, I reserve my full legal right to pursue all paid costs and appropriate compensation through legal channels, including damages resulting from the delay.
Thank you for your continued assistance.

I am rejecting this response because:GWC Warranty did contact me following my complaint. However, the issue has not been resolved, as they have not provided any factual or practical evidence to justify their refusal to cover the repair.
All supporting documents including the Carfax report, warranty contract, and ***** Palm Harbor repair estimate were already submitted with my original complaint and clearly show that the issue occurred after purchase.
I am therefore not satisfied with their response, and I reserve my full legal rights to pursue reimbursement and compensation for all costs and damages resulting from their delay and denial.

*** denied my warranty claim on a false report. I took my GT350 into a **** dealership due to a misfire code, was told I had scoring on cylinder 6 and that they needed to replace the engine. I went on a back-and-forth with the warranty company, waiting 3 weeks. *** stated that they needed a complete engine tear-down to find the "root cause" of the cylinder damage. Ok, engine teardown occurs and they send out an inspector to take pictures and file a report. Fast forward another week, the warranty company denies my claim due to an overspeed code stored in the **** The warranty company blamed the overspeed code for causing a "bent valve" and "top piston contact damage". Here's where it gets interesting. My certified Ford technician reached out to me and told me that *** was completely fabricating the damage. He stated that there is no bent valve or piston contact. Then, he told me that he requested pictures of the damage that the inspector stated was there, *** denied the request because there were no pictures. My technician then called them out for this, asking how they could deny the claim based on a bent valve and piston damage caused by an over *** code, WHEN THERE WASN'T EITHER??! The Ford technician then requested another inspector come out, and that request was also denied. Now *** simply said the claim is denied and there is nothing they can do to help the dealership repair the car. So to summarize, GWC makes me wait 3 weeks, then requests an engine tear-down to find the "root-cause", then FALSIFIES damage to blame it as then"root cause". They cannot solely deny the claim because of the overspeed code, that code can appear due to numerous reasons. But falsifying damage to link it to the over *** code is INSANE.Business Response

Car was brought into ************ car dealer, where it was bought used. We purchased gwc warranty for power train with the car. Transmission went out as soon as auto was purchased . After disputes the transmission was covered. Now two years later still under warranty the trans goes out again. Car was in shop 5 weeks while arguing with warranty company about repairs. They wont cover items that had to be replaced due to the transmission issue. I finally paid and picked up car. Looking for reimbursement. These items would still be on the auto if we did not have to replace this transmission again. They claim there is no cause of failure. The failed transmission they supplied is the cause of failure.Business Response

Worse experience ever and I am in my 60's and had dozens of cars in my life, DO NOT BUY FROM CARITE *********** and DO NOT BUY GWC WARRANTY. The *** I bought broke down (engine) less than 24hrs after I left there, Engine blew after around ***** miles (Truck at **** dealer). I was hundreds of miles away, stuck on the side of the highway. They gave me a useless warranty from another useless company (GWC) 30 days/3,000 miles. *** will find any ways not to pay you, horrible company. Imagine your engine blew less than 24 hours from you having your 2019 *** you just bought for $24,000 and nobody wants to take responsability. I bougth it on August 8, 2025 and on August 9, 2025 The *** was done. Now 5 weeks later, they both don't want to spend a ***** to fix the car.Business Response

On 9-9-25, my *** WARRANTEE was denied when my repair company *******************, in **********, ** contacted them for repair authorization and payment information. Additionally they were informed when questioning why it was denied, to look at SECTION "C" in the warrantee, where it states items that are not covered. However, upon further review with the repair folks as well as the contract, it clearly states that items which appear to be manufacturer installed ARE covered. What I believe has occurred is the person or operator for *** that denied the claim only looked at the part and nomenclature in question and did not understand that this cable was not a standard battery cable but an 15 foot long cable that runs from the battery well in the rear of the vehicle to the front sensors and physically impossible to be removed, repaired, or otherwise disturbed by anything other than a qualified technician. In further review of the CAR FAX as supplied by the dealer of sale of the vehicle, the only time any repair activity or replacement of the battery showing is in 2020 when a new battery was installed by **** of *********. Hence, my belief that this is indeed a qualified warrantee that should have been paid and repaired for by *** less my co-pay obligation.Business Response

I purchased two service contracts from *************** for my 2018 ***** Accord (VIN *****************) as part of the sales deal. The dealership told me these contracts were through GWC Warranty. When I later tried to make a claim, GWC Warranty confirmed there was no valid contract in my name, meaning I paid for a warranty that does not exist. I requested them to provide proof of contract or to issue a refund. I am seeking a full refund of the contract cost and reimbursement for any costs I incurred relying on what I believed to be active warranty coverage.Business Response

This dealership has had 6 major vehicle issues that was submitted to *** for ***air!! We have ran ourselves dry trying to get our vehicle fixed with this BS warranty!! Sent many many emails for a reimbursement check still cant even get our address right after countless emails!! You will see the ***ly I got this morning and clearly not even reading the email!! We have changed our address now 5 times with emails to back it all up!! We have text messages from *** *** assuring us the address was correct!! Again complete BS didnt even change it!! Be very very careful with this company it looks like we got scammed just like the other 6 that bought the warranty and had their vehicle in the shop 3 days after purchasing for ***air!! The $250 deductible sounds great but its BS our total ***air was $5497.00 Even the dealership said use the warranty Ill pay the deductible we do this with them all the time thats why we sell you the warrenty.Business Response

*** guaranteed to overnight a part to dealership on 8/15/25. Found out they never shipped the part and would not allow dealership to use OEM parts that the dealership had access to. Part did not arrive until 8/18/25. The delay on *** part cost me over $3000 for my business. If *** had of had part shipped as they originally guaranteed, my vehicle would have been repaired the next day. Claims manager was very rude and did not want to take any accountability. *** blamed ***** for the delay. No it was not ***** fault. It was GWC fault due to the fact they dropped the ball on ordering the part when the service advisor and I gave them authorization for shipping on 8/14/25. For the amount of money that the extended warranty cost me there should not have been an issue with using OEM parts from the dealership. After all the inconvenience and loss of revenue that this cost me I feel like GWC should have covered all cost. I should have not had to pay $400.Business Response
