extended warranty

Has anyone had a problem with LA MESA RV/Tucson in there extended warranty?
I purchased a 2006 Fleetwood Bounder in the year of 2007.
I also purchased a extended warranty for a period of 7 years to expire this November.
I call the warranty people to see what the cost would be to extend my coverage and was told that the policy expired in November of 2013.
When I asked why it expired a year early I was told that the policy starts on the in service date for the coach and since it was a 2006 coach it was expired after the 7 year period.
I called LA MESA to find out why they filled out the contract with the wrong date all I got from was to fix the problem was to buy another contract for 4 years and they would take 500.00 off a 5800.00 contract.
I asked to speak to a manager and was told by the manager that he did not have time to look into my problem because he was too busy and would assign someone to handle it.
I called back a day later and was told that I would have to produce the paper work for them and they didnt have time to look for the files in their storage before they would do anything.
I contacted the warranty people we found that LA MESA RV had written the contract as a NEW RV that starts coverage at the time of sale with 0 miles and with it being a 2006 it had run its course and expired.
All my paper work states it is a USED RV with 6600 miles on it.
I tried calling LA MESA back and they will not return my call so I am going to have to drive there and present them with copies of the paper work on how they made a very expensive mistake.

I will add more info to this post when I get results from LA MESA.
  • RV warranties tend to be a huge money maker for seller and a bad deal for the buyer.
    Why not just take the $5,800, and put it in an account called "future RV repairs"

  • Did you have any claims that paid off during the warranty? We all know most
    of these warranty places are in it for the money. After the phone conversations
    you've had with them I don't think I would anti-up any more $$.
