Mad Max I had AAA roadside assistance for years, but there were some things. Maybe I didn’t realize or things that changed, I now have canceled my service with them. The following are a few areas of serious concern for me.
1. They do not deliver diesel fuel, they were willing to come and told me to a fuel station within about three hours, which was unacceptable.
2. On two separate occasions, I called in for roadside assistance and they could not help me because they had no one to service that area and I was within the parameters of our contract. One of these times was in a life-threatening situation and they chose to leave me stranded. I was north of Fairbanks, Alaska near the Yukon river which normally has a fuel station at the bridge, it was closed. I did not have enough fuel to get where I was going. It was winter time at about 50° below zero, after assessing the situation, I decided to conserve the fuel that I had left And just park idling which would give me more time with the heater running. I called AAA and they would not come and get me because they said I was not out of fuel yet, I tried to explain to them the situation and they said they would not help me, they told me to drive until I ran out of fuel, then call them, yet it would take them at least four hours to get to me leaving me in a car not running in 50 below weather. This is unacceptable. They’re putting pennies in front of somebody’s life.
