Phoenix Extended Care

My car makes a very loud whining noise after about 20 mins of driving. The service shop that I brought my car to said that my transmission needs to be replaced. Wynn's Plus Deluxe is who I have an extended warranty with and they sent out an adjuster to look over my transmission. By the time the adjuster got to the service shop the car had been resting and so the noise was not immediately heard. I tried to explain that the noise begins after about 20 mins of driving and has caused my car to stop accelerating after a while. The warranty company refused to send out the adjuster again to re-evaluate. My cars warranty is almost up and it's clear that they are trying to waste time in order to not cover the transmission. I am very unhappy and I need my car especially since winter will be here soon and that is very hard on cars. If you need an extended warranty do not use these people. They will not help you. They don't know what they're doing.

Check engine light started flashing and engine temp flew up to 240 on my way home from work in my Silverado, coasted home to cool down. Got it to Chevy dealership in the morning; Radiator went due to hose leak and got a "Pending misfire". Wynns/Phoenix approved the $1,350 fix (new radiator, hose, labor, diagnostics) within the hour and had my truck back the next morning (10 hr job). Impressed how fast it was approved, happy my truck didn't blow up, thankful for this warranty up to this point in time. Saved me a lot of money.

Worst company in existence. Nickel and Dimed me for over 15 hours of extra work on my engine on top of not wanting to replace my engine on the truck that I JUST BOUGHT with a worn out bottom block, heads, cylinder walls, Pistons, rings, etc.. Will NEVER do business with these guys again. They approved the REPLACE of my engine and then went back and approved a REBUILD. From the get-go the rebuild was out of the question, since the bottom half is so worn, it would be the SAME PRICE to get a BRAND NEW ENGINE instead of a rebuild with NO WARRANTY and NO GUARANTEE. These guys are mind boggling, not to mention my truck has been at the auto shop for over 2 months fighting and bickering with Wynn's. I've paid out almost $3,000 for a rental vehicle, another 2 months and I could have bought the dang engine myself. I'm disgusted.

WARNING TO ALL!!! CUSTOMERS and AUTO REPAIR SHOPS!!! First of all I've owned and operated my auto repair facility for 18 years and this company is the worst in extended warranty that I've ever seen!!! By that I mean to their customers and the repair facilities! They take the customers' money for the warranty but have so many loopholes and very rarely come through for their customers!!! Also when they do on rare occasions come through... They try their BEST to get away without paying the AUTO REPAIR FACILITIES!!! WARNING to ALL!!! This is based on my experience with this company and not assumptions!

I've had my car for 15 mos, never used the warranty. Last week, my ck engine light came on. After reading all the bad reviews, I was worried. But within an hour, the shop said my claim was fully approved, and my car will be ready by the end of the day! Only have to pay the $100 deductible thanks to WEC.

So I bought a 2015 Kia and didn’t even have the car 6 months and the engine malfunctions. The warranty company sends my mechanic in circles for 3 weeks only to then say “an adjuster will be out in 2 business days to look and approve new engine.” Well my claim was denied because “foreign material” was in the engine. You want to know WHAT it was? According to adjuster a tiny piece of foil!!!! Like “the seal off of an oil bottle more than like from your last oil change” is what I was told.

I purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu from a used car dealer in my area with 77k miles. The brake booster just recently went out and the car was inoperable for 5 days. I contacted the dealership who assured me they would contact the warranty company and myself directly. I decided to take matters into my own hands and not wait around. BTW, the dealership never returned my call or addressed the concern and this is now a week later. I read the reviews from this very link the entire weekend.

I bought a 2008 Dodge Night. Very nice I thought. 1 week later it would not go so I called the dealer who sold to me. Said, "It's yours now." I said, "I'm in the left turn lane. Can't move. I'm calling AAA." She said, "I'll call you a tow truck," then they drove me to a garage. Didn't care for rude. The tow driver said I owed him 95.00. I said, "I have AAA." He don't take it so she wasn't going to pay. I gave him 95.00 or he was going to impound the truck. It's the transmission - 1 week drove no more than 30 miles. The dealer said I need a trans. She told them they tore it out. Said it's sealed up. All seals gears. All inside melted. They won't send no one or pay. I'm like wait why they need to know why the trans went. The dealer done all they can. Want 700.00 for me to take home. I got state of Michigan BBB and attn on this. They will pay. If anyone needs help contact 888-767-6424. Ask for bad car work dept BBB too. Good luck all.

My claim for a transmission rebuild was rejected on the basis that my tires were the next size taller and wider than OEM. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Nobody gives their rank names or even last names. They won't give me the reason for the denial in writing! These people are rip off artists. NYS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE HERE I COME! I was also told by the dealer that the warranty was required by Credit Acceptance in order to obtain the loan. No matter what it takes I will continue legal action against this company.

I would have to say don’t purchase this warranty, my car went into KIA for my transmission and this company wanted a complete tear down of my transmission. They would not approve anything until I pay the first $1200. Then they wanted me to replace it with a rebuilt transmission or a used transmission. Don’t walk run from this company.
