Thank you for bringing this matter to our attentionWe appreciate the opportunity to address our customer’s concerns. Our customer purchased a Volkswagen Passat, from DriveTime, on March 29, Our customer elected to purchase a 5-year / 50,000-mile Vehicle Service Contract
(VSC), administered by SilverRockThe Contract and VSC are attached for your reference.Our customer contacted SilverRock on August 21, requesting assistance with radiator repairsSilverRock encouraged her to have a diagnosis completed at an in-network repair facility (INRF) and provided the contact information for one nearby. The claim was initiated on August 23, by an INRF for the replacement of the engine oil cooler, seals and gaskets, coolant, oil filter, and the diagnostic feeAs these repairs were non-covered under the VSC, SilverRock did not provide authorization for the repairThere were no claims filed by the original equipment manufacturer or any other repair facilities.On that same day, our customer contacted DriveTime to discuss options of possible assistanceWhile reviewing the claim information, DriveTime found our customer drove 16,miles since she purchased the vehicle five months priorWe explained to her that due to the excessive mileage driven on the vehicle, DriveTime would not be offering assistance with the repairsOur customer expressed dissatisfaction with our response and she disconnected the phone call. Since receiving our customer’s Revdex.com complaint on August 28, 2017, DriveTime has re-reviewed our customer’s situation and concernsAs an exception, we are offering to cover the cost of the aforementioned repairs once our customer brings her account currentWe have not been able to reach our customer to offer this resolution to her....(continued on attached)

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
The contract that I signed included the expensive warranty as shown....just because the car seemed to be in operating condition does not mean it will stay that way which is why a warranty of that nature should have covered my brakes (day warranty) and the gear selector part (which affects the transmission) they should have fixed the car at full price before I turned in the car instead of treating me like someone who opted out of the warranty that really isn't worth the price they chargedAttached are some documents showing what the repairs were and how much they cost and that despite their claims of trying to assist me this is why I turned the car in....they were not very helpful then tried to act like they wanted to fix the car but I was told they would not fix the faulty brakes that should have been covered under the day warranty
