You didn't get scammed. The extended warranty may be the best thing you ever done. You evidently have cash flow issues and that's fine. The traverse is the same vehicle as the Acadia and Buick Enclave. My wife owned both and you probably will have your share of problems before 79 months are up. I'm pretty sure you would have more than $2700 worth of problems and sensors malfunctioning in 6.58 years. Now you will not be on the turn on some engine lights list when the dealerships are slow. I'm almost convinced they screw you over on purpose thru onstar.

I'm assuming the warranty extended coverage from 50k miles to 100k. So you only have 20k of coverage left.

It's just a bet. If something over $3k fails before 100k, and you give up this warranty, then you lose the bet.

I just lost the bet on my hummer. Passed 100k miles last week, and only had about $800 of parts/labor covered by them over the course of 4 years that the extended warranty was in place. But it was nice to not have to think about getting those little things fixed. A door speaker went out, and, I can't make this up, but a light in the hvac controls went out and the only way to fix it is to replace the entire control unit, $500 part, because of the extended warranty, I went ahead and got it fixed.

You probably overpaid a bit on the warranty, but I don't see this as a "scam". It's not like they tacked on a $1k paperwork fee or something like that.
