I have paid for a vehicle warranty through this company, and had to utilize the warranty when my transmission went up in my vehicle. Per the mechanic's request, an additional part (condenser) needed to be replaced to ensure that the new transmission wouldn't fail again. The warranty company is refusing to cover the replacement of the additional part, even though it is required by the manufacturer, and is an industry standard knowledge that it should be replaced when replacing the transmission. They refused to let the mechanic purchase the new transmission, and instead used on the warranty company's suppliers, who is negating the fact that the additional part needed to be replaced. After requesting this supplier's information, so that I could confirm this for myself, they have refused to provide the supplier's information, and refuse to cover the cost of replacement of the additional part.Business Response

In accordance with your request, we ask that you accept this letter containing important information
regarding the complaint submitted by ***** ********* and the vehicle service contract (“VSC”) referenced
above.
A claim was initiated with our office 5/5/2025 for transmission failure. As part of that quote the repair
facility recommended replacement of the Air Conditioning condenser as the transmission cooler is
integrated to that component. Coverage was authorized 5/5/2025 for the transmission replacement and
NVP was requested to provide the unit from a supplier we partner with. As there was no covered
mechanical breakdown with the condenser no coverage was authorized. Our office was contacted by *****
********* 5/30/205 asking about the condenser. At that time our agents explained the recommendation
and that there was no covered mechanical break down for us to apply coverage to. We received a call
from the repair facility 6/2/2025 stating that the supplier they utilize would require replacement of the
condenser when the transmission is replaced. At that point our adjusters confirmed with the supplier NVP
procured the transmission from this was not a requirement for the unit being supplier. The supplier
utilized by NVP is not the same supplier utilized by the repair facility. We then reached out and
communicated to the repair facility that our supplier did not require replacement of the condenser with a
transmission replacement. Additionally, as there is no mechanical breakdown we are unable apply
coverage to a recommendation.
An invoice for repair was received 6/6/2025 and payment was remitted to the repair facility. Later that
day we were contacted again by Julia Alexander stating the condenser was required to be replaced by the
vehicle manufacturer when the transmission is replaced. We requested the documentation to support that.
Upon receipt and review of that documentation it was noted that the vehicle must be equipped with an
RPO build code of NHT for this to be applicable. The document was also procured by our supplier with
the unit we supplied. We confirmed with the vehicle VIN data that the vehicle is not equipped with that
option and verified again with our supplier that condenser replacement was not required for the unit
supplied.
We also reached out to our affiliate network Repairpal as this facility is part of our network. They did
confirm with the repair facility the condenser was elected for replacement as a recommendation by the
contract holder.
In summary, we are unable to apply coverage the Air Conditioning condenser as there is no covered
mechanical breakdown present to the component and recommendations are explicitly excluded within
section 10 of the contract terms and conditions.
Please find the specific contract terms and conditions related to this matter cited below.
Under the DEFINITIONS section of the Vehicle Service Agreement, it explicitly states:
“COVERED COMPONENT(S)” means those items specifically listed under the section relating to
coverage You have selected, (or all items except those specifically excluded under Exclusionary
and Exclusionary Wrap, respective of Your Coverage), that are original parts on Your Vehicle at
the time of its purchase by You or like replacement parts meeting the manufacturer’s
specification.
“MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN” means the inability of any covered part or component to perform
the function(s) for which it was designed due to defects in workmanship or materials.
Mechanical Breakdown does not include the gradual reduction in operating performance due to
normal wear and tear.
The contract terms state within Section 10. EXCLUSIONS – WHAT’S NOT COVERED: This Agreement
provides No Benefits for:
D. Covered Components which have not experienced a Mechanical Breakdown that a Licensed
Repair Facility recommends being repaired or replaced.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
The paperwork attached, which came with the transmission they provided, states that any vehicle with a tow package must have this part replaced with transmission replacement. NVP Warranty is claiming that it only pertains to a specific tow package, but that is not specified in the attached document. The response I received when I mentioned this to NVP Warranty was that it was "industry knowledge" that such was the case, and therefore it didn't need to be specified. It is also "industry knowledge" that a condenser must be replaced with transmission replacement. By their own admission of "industry knowledge" the part should be covered without need of specific documentation.

Good morning,
NVP's response remains unchanged. As mentioned in the letter, which speaks specifically to the documentation provided in the response and previously provided to NVP, the vehicle is not equipped with the RPO code for that requirement. This was confirmed by VIN and with the supplier of the unit.
Thank you,
NVP Warranty Claims Department.

I purchased a 2015 Cadillac ATS 2.0T from a dealership in Memphis Arkansas, Elk Car Central. I also purchased a 3 month Powertrain warranty through NVP warranty the same day the car was purchased. The following day as I was driving home the cars temperature gauge started to increase. I pulled over and called a tow truck and had the car taken to the shop to find out what was causing the problem. The mechanic performed diagnostics and concluded the head gasket was blown and provided me with an estimate. The estimate was submitted to NVP and they informed the shop that the repair wasn’t covered if the heads were warped. We did not give the shop permission to move further into breaking down the engine because the mechanic advised us that there was a 99% that the heads were most likely warped. The policy clearly stated that head gaskets and heads are covered. The estimate for the repair was within the limits specified on my policy. Each time I contact this company they give me the run around saying heads are not covered. The car was not neglected and every measure was taken to ensure there was no more damage caused once the car started to overheat. The warranty was purchased with the car having 99860 miles on it and the mileage is now 99999! I barely drove it 200 miles before it broke down and now my claim is being denied. We have tried to contact this company and were transferred to another auto warranty company who informed me that our policy had been red flagged. The reason my policy was red flagged was that my administrator assigned to my policy had multiple complaints of non payment of claims and not approving covered claims. I paid for a warranty from a company that claims to cover all things powerchain, including a blown head gaskets and heads!Business Response

BBB Complaint Case #: ********
Dear *****,
In accordance with your request, we ask that you accept this letter containing important information
regarding the complaint submitted by ****** *********** and the vehicle service contract (“VSC”)
referenced above.
The VSC for this vehicle was sold 4/24/2025 at 99,860 miles. The original claim for this vehicle was
initiated with our office 05/01/2024 and 100,116 miles at **** **** ****** ** *********. That facility
was quoting engine replacement due to overheating concerns. Prior to that, Mr. *********** had
contacted our office 4/29/2025 and stated the vehicle was overheating and it had occured Friday 4/25. At
the time of the original claim our adjuster discussed the contract terms and conditions to confirm covered
mechanical breakdown and any potential exclusions. Customer authorization for tear down was requested
to verify the mechanical breakdown present with a covered component. No further activity occurred on
this claim until it was closed 5/15/2025 as the vehicle had moved to a new facility.
Our office received a call from ******** ******, located in Jonesboro, 5/15/2025. They reported the
vehicle had been at their location since 5/2/2025 and initiated a claim for head gasket failure due to
overheating. Our adjuster discussed the contract terms and conditions to confirm covered mechanical
breakdown and any potential exclusions based on the information reported by that facility and previously.
Customer authorization for tear down was requested to verify the mechanical breakdown present to a
covered component.
Mr. *********** called our office 3 times 5/19/2025 and discussed the claim status, the tear down
process and his responsibilities per the contract terms. It was expressly discussed twice that warpage is
something the contract terms exclude from coverage.
Currently, there has been no further activity on this claim, and we await completion of tear down allowing
us to verify a mechanical breakdown present to a covered component. If that has been completed, then the
repair facility needs to contact our claims department as previously discussed with them when the claim
was initiated.
In the event there is a covered component with a failure due to overheating or warpage then that is likely
to be excluded. Again, that has yet to be determined at this time. It is our practice to ensure a full
discussion of contract terms and conditions related to the situation during any calls or questions about
coverage.
Please find the specific contract terms and conditions related to this matter cited below.
Under the DEFINITIONS section of the Vehicle Service Agreement, it explicitly states:
“COVERED COMPONENT(S)” means those items specifically listed under the section relating to
coverage You have selected, (or all items except those specifically excluded under Exclusionary
and Exclusionary Wrap, respective of Your Coverage), that are original parts on Your Vehicle at
the time of its purchase by You or like replacement parts meeting the manufacturer’s
specification.
“MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN” means the inability of any covered part or component to perform
the function(s) for which it was designed due to defects in workmanship or materials.
Mechanical Breakdown does not include the gradual reduction in operating performance due to
normal wear and tear.
The contract terms state within Section 10. EXCLUSIONS – WHAT’S NOT COVERED: This Agreement
provides No Benefits for:
S. Any Mechanical Breakdown or damage caused by bolts, screws, carbon build-up in cylinders,
clogged fuel injectors, contaminated fluids, fuel, or lubricants, foreign or unknown materials, coolant
blockage, corrosion, detonation, failure to maintain proper levels of lubrication, fasteners, fire, fluid
leaks, freezing, improper engine adjustments, improper fuel, coolant, fluids, or lubricants, lack of
lubrication, lean fuel conditions, lubricant blockage, nuts, overheating, pinging, pre-ignition, residue,
rust, seized or damaged parts due to operation without sufficient coolant, fluid, or oil, sludge buildup,
varnish, warpage, water damage, water intrusion, or water leaks.

I was sold an extended warranty with my vehicle. It has been 9 month from purchase, I want to cancel my warranty for a pro rated refund. The warranty has not been used for anything at all. The reason I am canceling is because I was lied to and mislead. The dealership told my my warranty would b accepted at any certified mechanic. The closest place my warranty would be accepted is 3 hours away. I have the right to cancel the warranty if I do not want it. I'm asking for a refund of a pro rated portion. The car has not used the warranty at all. I contacted NVP and was told I can't cancel this unless the car has been totaled or repossessed. I have sought legal counsel and have been told I can cancel at anytime for a pro rated refund.Business Response

A claim was initiated with our office 4/7/2025 by Car Fix Shelby for a clogged heater core. The 4-Star

explicitly excluded in contract section 10. EXCLUSIONS.:.
A copy of the VSC for reference is attached along with this letter. In relation to the request for a refund in
this complaint, the contract allows to cancel for any reason for a full refund if request is made within the
first 30 days.
After 30 days, the contract is only eligible to cancel if the car has been declared a total loss by the
insurance company or has been repossessed by the lender.
To cancel this contract and request a refund, you must contact the dealer in writing.
They must fill out a cancellation form in full, sign it, have you sign off on it and send to us for processing.

I contacted ******* *** the lienholder. And they provided a GAP insurance contract from a company called Extreme GAP insurance. Which was also the blank contract that was sent in the reply message I received yesterday. It did not have any signatures on it. But had all my information and the car information at the top of the form. The copy I received from Capital One has a signature on it but it is not mine. All my signatures were from a digital pad at anchor auto and they were all the same.

In January 2024 I purchased a commercial cargo van through OG Automotive and a two year warranty with NVP Warranty. OG Automotive asked me questions on the NVP application and I answered all of them based on the application.
Three weeks later I filed a claim which NVP denied based on the fact that the parts were not covered under the warranty.
In september of 2024 I filed a claim for a transmission, which is covered. NVP denied the claim because they said it was not disclosed that the van was for commercial use, which would have required a $300 surcharge. OG Automotive stated that NVP's agent (who was later fired) told them this was only relevent if there was any ads on the van, which there weren't. NVP used this surcharge (which I was willing to pay) as an out to deny the claim. If needed I have a statement from OG Automotive to back up my claim. NVP also seriously reduced my refund on the warranty. The total cost of the denied repair was $9121.81. They screwed me out of $1000 on the refund as well. I want $10,121.81 from NVP, or I will take them to Magistrate Court.Business Response

In accordance with your request, we ask that you accept this letter containing important information
regarding the complaint submitted by **** ******, and the vehicle service contract (“VSC”) referenced
above.
Upon review of the contract file, we found 2 claims initiated during the contract time in force. The first
claim was initiated 02/26/2024 in relation to replacement of an oil filter housing. No adjudication process
was required as this item was not listed within the coverage section of the contract terms.
The second claim was initiated 09/18/2024 for replacement if a transmission and radiator. The vehicle had
traveled 18,030 miles in 249 days. As part of our adjudication process the vehicle was inspected by an
independent third-party automotive inspector. At that time the inspection confirmed a mechanical
breakdown present with the transmission and the radiator. Upon review of the inspection and information
on file, it was determined per a prior conversation with the *** ****** that he “owns a delivery route and
uses the vehicle to deliver pastries.” This usage is for commercial purposes, which is explicitly excluded
within the contract terms. Additionally, the optional surcharge “Commercial Use, Package” was not
elected by the applicant when the contract was purchased.
Based on this information above the vehicle usage is excluded and coverage would not be eligible on the
claim referenced.
After the claim was deemed ineligible our office received a request 09/27/2024 from OG Automotive
LLC to add the surcharge which was declined.
Our office then received a cancellation request 10/1/2024 a cancellation quote was provided at that time
and process was discussed including the required documentation to submit.
The contract cancellation was processed and refund issued 11/15/2024 per the ******* state disclosure
terms and conditions upon receipt of the cancellation request documentation.
The DEFINITIONS section of the Vehicle Service Agreement, it explicitly states:
“MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN” means the inability of any covered part(s) or
component(s) to perform the function(s) for which it was designed due to
defects in workmanship or materials.
“OPTIONAL COVERAGE” means the additional coverage benefit You have
chosen on the front Application Page.
“YOU”, “YOUR”, “AGREEMENT HOLDER”, “APPLICANT” refers to the person
applying for the purchase of this Vehicle Service Agreement.
Additionally, within EXCLUSIONS of the TERMS AND CONDITIONS the language states:

We called in to obtain authorization for the claim, and NVP initially approved it. However, NVP later decided not to pay us due to the customer canceling their plan with them. We were instructed to contact the customer directly, but we believe this situation is between NVP and the customer, not us. Despite this, we made the call to the customer, but unfortunately, there was no answer. As a result, we are now left with an approved claim but no payment.Business Response

A claim was initiated with our office 01-03-2025 by ** ***** of A+ Plus Auto Centers. The claim was
adjudicated per the contract terms and conditions and authorization for eligible coverage was provided to
*** ***** at repair facility 01-16-2025 at 12:15 pm EST. Our office had received a call from the contract
holder inquiring about cancellation 01-16-2025 at 12:37pm EST and again on 01-17-2025 at 9:55 AM.
On both calls the cancellation terms were reviewed, and the customer was advised that if the claim was
paid to the repair facility, then that paid amount is deducted from any refund amount. It was also
explained if they pay for the repair at their expense and the claim is not paid, they not see a deduction for
claims paid against the refund amount. The customer was going to call back to confirm their decision on
paying for the repair or having NVP coverage paid to the repair facility.
Our office received an invoice for repairs 01-23-2025 which shows a “work completed” date of 1-21-
2025. Our agent reached out to the contract holder who stated they had paid the repair facility in full for
the repairs. The claim was closed, and cancellation processed.
Based on a conversation with *** ***** 01/27/2024 he was made aware of this information and the same
data points were conveyed. He also sated the customer told them they had cancelled the policy after they
paid for the repairs.
*** ***** and A+ Plus auto center would need to pursue the vehicle owner to satisfy the portion of the
invoice that remains due related to this complaint. Our contract holder was aware of their responsibility
for those repairs prior to their decision to cancel.

NO WARRANTY CAME. I CALLED THEM, AND THEY SAID THE CAR DEALER HAD IT. THEY DID NOT, THEY CALLED, WARRANTY PEOPLE SAID THEY WOULD SEND IT. NO WARRANTY CAME. I CALLED AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS COMING. I ASKED AT THAT TIME IF THEY COULD TELL ME IF STARTER PARTS WERE COVERED. THEY SAID IT WAS COVERED. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE STARTING SYSTEM. THE CAR BROKE DOWN, AND I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE CAR DEALER TO FIX IT. THEY SAID IT WAS A DOOR BUTTON. NO WARRANTY IN THE MAIL YET. I GOT A RECALL LETTER FROM SUZUKI, TELLING ME THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED, ONE WAS IN HIGHLAND, ID. A 100 MILES AWAY.

In accordance with your request, we ask that you accept this letter containing important information
regarding the complaint submitted by ***** ********, and the vehicle service contract (“VSC”)
referenced above.
A claim was initiated with our office 10/15/2024 by *** ********’s Deals on Wheels for replacement of
a theft deterrent module. Mileage at that time was reported at 144,317. At that point it was conveyed by
our adjuster that 1) the item is not listed for coverage on 5-star contract active on the vehicle. 2) the
contract was expired by mileage.
Our office received a call from M** ******** and our agent reviewed on this matter 11/25/24 and the
same information was conveyed.
Our claims team received a call from *** ********’s again 11/26/24 and reported the VIN number was
incorrect and the mileage on the vehicle was 116,287. At that time a Bill of Sale was a requested to
correct the VIN and photo of the odometer to bring the contract back to active status.
At the time this letter is being published only the odometer photo has been received. We had replied to the
email with the odometer photo requesting the remainder of the information. We are still awaiting the
original signed copy of the bill of sale/buyers order for the vehicle to correct the VIN number. The
contract should be brought back to active status once that is received and reviewed. That information can
be submitted via email to ***********************. Please include in the subject line ATTN Ian.
Regarding the repair invoice attachment to this complaint. Upon review the invoice shows the document
is dated 11/14/2024 with mileage of 116,060. This conflicts with the claim we received by date and
mileage reported later at 116287, However, this does not pose an issue in this case. The repair completed
is for a steering lock assembly. This item is not listed for coverage on the 5-star contract.
There is no reimbursement per the contract terms for the towing invoice provided. The contract does
provide roadside assistance and the information to utilize that service is on the contract. There is no rental
reimbursement eligible as there is no covered repair. This was communicated to M** ******** on another
call to our office 12/3/2024.
I will ensure a paper copy is mailed to the address on file and electronic copy of the VSC is emailed to the
email on file in the VSC agreement photo attached. I do not show prior requests for those documents in
our records.
Please find the specific contract terms and conditions related to this matter cited below.
Under the DEFINITIONS section of the Vehicle Service Agreement, it explicitly states:
“COVERED COMPONENT(S)” means those items specifically listed under the
section relating to coverage You have selected, (or all items except those
specifically excluded under Exclusionary and Exclusionary Wrap, respective of
Your Coverage), that are original parts on Your Vehicle at the time of its
purchase by You or like replacement parts meeting the manufacturer’s
specification.
Withing the section titled COMPONENT COVERAGE the terms state:
RENTAL CAR REIMBURSEMENT: In the event that a Covered Repair requires labor
in excess of eight (8) hours, You are reimbursed thirty dollars ($30) per day for a
maximum of five (5) days. Proof of rental required. WEAR AND TEAR (SURCHARGE
APPLIES) All covered parts that were listed for ENGINE, AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4 X 4) & ALL WHEEL
DRIVE, STEERING
We will await receipt of the Bill of Sale/Buyers order to be able to proceed with the corrections.

I purchased a vehicle and didn’t want the warrant but had to pay for it anyway! I went to use it because the car is having rear differential issues and the dealership sent pictures into this company and they denied my claim! Said it was “normal wear and tear”, the dealership says it’s NOT. I’m at half the mileage it would be considered for that and only have 77000 miles on the car. The dealership I went to said they have never had a warranty company act like this and I beleive it is a scam. I spoke to the “claims manager “ Jason who denied it and keeps denying. I would like this investigated as it is within the parameters of the contract and the dealership (the expert who actually looked at the car) says it isn’t normal. The dealer Where I bought the car a year ago also would not help. I am a disabled woman who needs to get to her Dr appointments and I’m paying on a car with issues that cost thousands to fix and I am within my warranty!Customer Answer

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.]I was told by the guy who sold me the car that I had no choice to purchase this “warranty”, so I did. It is all within the parameters of the warranty and even the expert says this is not normal wear and tear. He also said this is the first time a warranty company has requested a customer pay for a tear down . I am a disabled woman who does not have an extra $1000 for the tear down! This is supposed to be covered under the warranty! It is very strange that the same car dealer who sold me the car, also owns the warranty company and refuses to fix the issue they knew about. This is within the parameters of the warranty, I paid for the warranty and should not have to pay for another step in the process. I have a recording of the service center stating they didn’t check the car when I asked them to, they only drove it around the block!! I want this covered!

In accordance with your request, we ask that you accept this letter containing important information
regarding the complaint submitted by ******** ******** and the vehicle service contract (“VSC”)
referenced above.
A claim was initiated with our office 12/23/2024 for rear differential replacement. The repair facility
reported a grinding noise, binding when making turns, and metal shavings in the fluid. Photos of the
vehicle and the fluid were requested. The repair facility called that day to follow up and it was determined
they had misspelled the email. Our adjuster confirmed they had the correct spelling and advised to send
the photos. Also at that time the adjuster discussed the failure with the service advisor who stated nothing
had broken, the gears were grinding causing metal shavings. Upon receipt of the photos and review we
contacted the repair facility to discuss further. Again, the repair facility reported they did not feel there
were any failed components inside the differential. Just that the gears were grinding and had worn. At that
point the repair facility was advised of the contract terms and conditions which exclude wear and tear.
However, we also advised that if they felt there was mechanical breakdown present that was not due to
wear and tear the customer would need to authorize tear down so that could be demonstrated. This
information was also explained in a later conversation on 12/26/24 between a claims manager and
******** *** **** *******. If a tear down is approved and completed, we would be happy to review the
findings at that point. Please find the specific terms and conditions related to this matter cited below.
Under the DEFINITIONS section of the Vehicle Service Agreement, it explicitly states:
“MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN” means the inability of any covered part(s) or
component(s) to perform the function(s) for which it was designed due to
defects in workmanship or materials.
“WEAR and TEAR” means the deterioration of a part that occurs naturally over
time. (Wear and Tear is not covered under this Agreement).
Additionally, within EXCLUSIONS of the TERMS AND CONDITIONS the language states:
This Vehicle Service Agreement DOES NOT provide coverage or benefits for:
5. Any conditional mechanical breakdown or damage caused by, but not
limited to air leaks, alterations or modifications to the vehicle from original manufacturer
specifications, or not approved by manufacturer, bolts (only covered in conjunction
with a covered repair), carbon build-up in cylinders, clogged fuel injectors, commercial
use, contaminated fuel, conversion van components or conversion vehicle
components, coolant blockage, corrosion, coverage by manufacturer's warranty,
recall, factory bulletin or any other mechanical breakdown coverage, custom or addon part(s), detonation, drive axle modifications, electrolysis, emissions modification,
engine modifications, excessive fuel conditions, exhaust system modifications, failure to
maintain proper levels of lubrication, fasteners (only covered in conjunction with a
covered repair), frame modifications, freezing, improper engine adjustments, improper
fuel, improper lubricants, lack of lubrication, lean fuel conditions, lift kits, lubricant
blockage, nuts (only covered in conjunction with a covered repair), overheating,
pinging, pre-ignition, residue, rust, seized or damaged parts due to operation without
sufficient coolant, fluid, or oil, snow removal equipment, suspension modifications, tires
not recommended by the original manufacturer, transmission modifications, warp age,
water damage, water intrusion, water leaks, or wear and tear to covered parts or
components are not covered.
