Here's the story...
I have a '06 Vue (4cyl, 5spd) I bought in 11/05. I do a lot of driving and my wife talked me into an extended warranty for it (6yr/64K). I'm just approaching 36K now.
The problem is that the dealer I bought the car and the extended warranty from closed (Saturn of Medford, NY) 8 months after I bought the car. Anyway, a new dealer just opened (Saturn of Smithtown) a bit further away and I'm having a grinding/rubber band noise out of the steering column when I turn the wheel in either direction and a slight whistle noise when I turn it to the left. No problem I thought, I'm covered. Well, the new Saturn dealer ran my VIN and told me that the extended warranty company Saturn of Medford had sold me is now also defunct and also out of business. So what does that mean to me? They told me basically that I'm screwed and the car is only covered to 36K.
Does this sound legal to anyone? An Authorized Dealer of Saturn sold me an Authorized Extended warranty service THROUGH Saturn when I bought the car that I am still paying for in the form of a higher monthly bill/loan, and I'm being told "we're still taking the extra money because you agreed to it at the time of the sale, but you don't get the service" Since Saturn sold me the extended warranty, shouldn't they be responsible for picking up the warranty should something like the above happen?? If not, this is real Bullshit...
Something is not right or fair about this.
