    I purchased a 2019 Ford Fusion several years ago and was sold two different warranty packages from Portfolio. Felt like overkill at the time, but I figured better safe than sorry. They told me that if anything went wrong with the engine or transmission, that it would be covered. Felt good to know that I would be taken care of down the road.

    Earlier this year, I started having engine trouble so I took it to a Ford dealership in my town. They diagnosed the problem as a failure in the cylinder wall, which was allowing coolant to leak into the cylinder. This began a month long process going back and forth with the service advisor and Portfolio. They requested maintenance records, video calls, sent an inspector, etc. After this long process, they came back and denied the claim. They stated that per the contract, repairs were only covered if the failure was due to an internally lubricated part failing, and that since it was the cylinder WALL that failed it was not covered.

    The service advisor told me that it was the longest back and forth he'd ever been part of that still came back as denied. He, and everyone else I've spoken to about this issue believe that Portfolio is using legalese and a technicality to avoid paying for a repair that will now cost me over $8,000. At the end of the day, I was sold TWO warranty contracts as a way to have peace of mind, only to have them back out when I needed help. I am very frustrated with this company and how they have handled this situation. One positive note, when I called the customer service line, the phone operators were kind even if their help amounted to "Sorry we couldn't do more."

    I bought my Horizon Portfolio Protection Truck extended warranty in 2021, there was always a hassle reporting the claims and they have to confirm the claim with the underwriter. Now two Ford Dealerships turned me down and did not accept the warranty. They said they don’t like the hassle. The third dealership accepted it but I had to cover the extra labor cost, because Horizon only covered X amount of the Hourly Rate. I was told I had a $100.00 deductible and that’s it. Today I paid almost $500.00 out of pocket. I’m very disappointed with this warranty. I hope will help someone.

    Dishonest company. Each time I called them about a claim, they gave me a different story to avoid paying, and lied! This went on for 3 months! I got my car fixed out of pocket in an emergency. Called them with my situation and they assured me of a refund stating that since this was my first claim I can get a refund. They said they can only do this for first time claimants, which was fine by me.

    Filed a claim properly, followed up with them 2 days later to make sure it's all done properly, then waited for a month to hear from them. Nothing. Waited longer, then finally I called them only to be given a big runaround between their multitude of useless departments. They denied my claim giving the biggest bs reason - that they changed their policy about giving refunds, and that change came AFTER I'd already filed my claim. They should have honored their initial promise to refund! Volkswagen dealership pushes hard to add this warranty to your car purchase. It is expensive and sounds great until you actually have to deal with these people.

    I am currently experiencing a long wait time for approval. I have a transmission issue that the dealership says should be covered. However we're still waiting for approval. It's been over 9 days since the initial claim was filed and a decision still hasn't been made as to whether or not the warranty work will be covered. I would not recommend this company to anyone and I will be looking to change as soon as I can to anything that would be better than this.

    Very dissatisfied with Portfolio. Starts at the end of October 2025 when repairs were needed due to leaking and failing hoses on the oil cooler and a couple of other areas. They paid just over $1200 for the repairs. Ok, not bad. Now in January a week and half ago I was returning home from a local high school basketball game and my vehicle started running rough. The next morning I drove it to a dealer and left it with them. They called first thing Monday and said that the lifters failed and that I would need lifters, pushrods and camshaft. They submitted it for approval with photos and video to Portfolio. Portfolio came back and said the dealer needs to tear it down. If they did not approve the claim I would be responsible for the $2500 cost to tear down the engine. I agreed (reluctantly) and the dealer submitted photos of the damaged parts.

    Portfolio came back and said there was a gap in documented oil changes. I am attentive to making sure the oil has been changed on a regular schedule and I submitted a receipt for the oil change not visible on CARFAX. Now, Portfolio is sending out a inspector to view the torn down engine in person. It is evident that they are looking for things that will enable them to deny the claim. It is amazing that vehicle that has 75k miles needs this major repair and that with documented regular service they are fighting to pay for what should be a straight forward claim. It in the second week and a decision has not been made and at the earliest I will have the vehicle back is early next week. Without question I would never recommend Portfolio.

    The gap insurance policy is the absolute worse investment one can make. It does not pay anything. I made all my payments even after the car was totaled. Eventually paid it off while waiting for the gap to kick in. Buyer beware.

    I have only had my Highlander 8 months. The extended warranty was provided to me by the dealership at the time of purchase; I did not purchase a separate warranty product. Based on the information given at the dealership, I was told repairs could be completed at any repair facility. I was never informed—verbally or in writing—that I was required to call in for prior authorization. Less than eight months later, my warranty claim was denied and I was told the warranty was now void. No one has been able to provide any signed documentation or contract language showing that I was required to call in or that I violated the terms of coverage.

    I have emailed the company three times and have also emailed the owner/CEO directly, yet I have received no response, written denial, or explanation. Even the dealership has stated they do not understand why the warranty was denied. I have full documentation and am simply requesting transparency and accountability regarding the coverage that was provided to me.

    I have a 2019 BMW X5, and when my turbo went out, the dealer told me it would cost over $5,000 to fix. I almost started to cry. Thankfully, my husband reminded me that we had purchased the extended warranty. The process was incredibly easy. I gave the service advisor my warranty information, and everything was covered. I only had to pay the $100 deductible. I can’t even express how happy I was especially around the holidays. Even the service advisor commented on how easy the process was.

    Less than one star. My claim has been denied two times with two different claims due to “lack of maintenance” which was refuted by the dealer on multiple occasions. Multiple copies of documentation was sent multiple times. Emails from company were sent by mistake multiple times by different individuals. The warranty lead specialist even was trying to get my claim approved, which proved that I was compliant with the requirements of the contract. But authorizers still denied claim because of price and are going against contract.

    One word.... DON'T.... just DON'T! For reference, my repair was simply tie rod replacement at a Ford Dealership (a few hour job). First off, it takes AT LEAST 2 days to get a response from them weather you or a service tech calls the necessary number for repair authorization. And if there is a follow up call needed, another 2 days AT LEAST for an answer, so a simple repair can and most likely will take a week plus to get resolved. My simple tie rod replacement took 3 weeks! Then, once you get approval for repair and after the work is done, they don't cover average hourly labor cost or average parts cost as stated in the service agreement. Shame on dealerships that sell this trash with new vehicles ! Just wish I would have researched this warranty company before purchasing this with my vehicle, I guess I'm not alone here... 0 stars.

    Bought a new Ram 3500 in 2018, let the dealer do all maintenance and Service so if something happened, I would have maintenance records. Had a warranty claim for my radio and cruise control. They fixed it no problem. Then, a year later, I had a transmission problem they denied it. Said because it was a 3500 commercial truck. They had no problems taking my money and fixing it the first time... these warranty centers are here to make money. If you have a major problem, they will deny you this company has a terrible record. Don’t let the dealer ship sell you this warranty. I thought what I bought was a factory warranty they never disclosed that to me. Go online reviews everywhere, this company is terrible.

    This “warranty” is a joke. The forever warranty they offer is supposed to cover the powertrain, but when I had an issue with the transmission they wouldn't even cover half the cost. Everything should have been covered under this warranty and they would only pay for 1 hour of labor and wouldn't cover the full extent of the parts. I ended up paying over $600 because they refused to honor the warranty in full. The dealership said they were made to jump through a bunch of hoops which was out of the ordinary with most of the extended warranties they deal with. This company doesn't honor their commitment to cover issues that should be covered. I would never recommend this place!
