Hi Celestino,
We would like to clarify a couple of the statements in your review. First, we have not denied your repair. We are waiting on further documentation from you, but we will get back to that in a moment. Second, the cost to replace your vehicle's engine had no bearing on our moving forward with the claim (again, your claim is still open; it has not been denied).
Lastly, as we explained to your son when he called us yelling and cussing at our adjusters and, later, to you, we request copies of maintenance records for claims where the mechanical failure (in your vehicle's case, a knocking rod) may be due to neglect of the vehicle. As is allowed by the contract you purchased, we simply need to make sure that you maintained your vehicle per the manufacturer's standard (manufacturer-recommended oil changes, etc.), and that the breakdown is not a result of a failure to have the vehicle serviced.
Again, your claim has not been denied, and we are happy to move forward with the claims process once you provide us with your maintenance records, which should not be many, as you have only had the vehicle a few years and driven fewer than 40k miles.
