Summary of Complaint

I PURCHASED THIS 1997, JEEPeBay logo GRAND CHEROKEE FROM BROADWAY VOLKSWAGENeBay logo ON AUTO ROW IN OAKLAND CA. AT THE TIME THE ODOMETER READ 48,080K. TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ALBERA BROS. JEEPeBay logo/CHRYSLEReBay logo DEALERSHIP WHERE I?VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I ALSO PURCHASED A WARRANTY, FOR $1500 AT THE TIME THAT I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN THE CONTRACT OF THE AUTOMOBILE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. THE WARRANTY WAS TO COVER ALL REPAIR THAT IS COVER FOR 72 MONTHS OR 100K MILES. I CONTACTED THE WARRANTY COMPANY, WARENTECH, WHO'S HEADQUARTERS ARE IN TEXAS AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND SOMEONE OUT TO LOOK AT THE CAR. SOMEONE DID COME OUT LOOK AT THE CAR AND TOOK PICTURES. AFTER A FEW DAYS I CONTACTED WARENTECH AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REVIEW THE INFORMATION AND WOULD GET BACK TO ME. AFTER SEVERAL MORE DAYS I CONTACTED WARENTECH AGAIN. I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY NEEDED ME FAX THEM MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS VERIFYING THAT I HAD MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. I FAXED WARENTECH COPIES OF ALL RECENT MAINTENANCE RECORDS. AFTER TWO OR THREE MORE DAYS, I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED WARENTECH AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED TO SEND MORE MAINTENANCE RECORDS AND IF I DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE THEY WOULD DENY COVERAGE FOR REPAIR TO THE VEHICLE. I FAXED OVER A TOTAL OF 13 MORE RECORDS OF MAINTENANCE VERIFYING THAT OIL CHANGES AS WELL AS OTHER MAINTENANCE RECORDS. THAT WAS TWO DAYS AGO AND I?VE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM WARENTECH SINCE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $125 DOLLARS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE PAID ANOTHER $140 FOR A RENTAL CAR TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT WARENTECH IS GOING TO REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THEY'VE ALREADY HAD ALMOST 2-WEEKS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I PAY $546 A MONTH CAR NOT VIA PAYROLL DEDUCTION AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A PAYMENT THIS FOR TWO YEARS AND I STILL OWE OVER$18K FOR THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
