Hyundai 2013 hyundai sonata engine

I am the proud owner of 2 Hyundai vehicles. My first, a 2013 Elantra, has been an absolute gem. I liked it so much I bought another Hyundai - this time a 2013 Sonata. I bought this car for my daughter who is away at college. I wanted her to have a reliable vehicle. The other night, while driving late in the evening on a busy road, the engine started to smoke and then completely shut down. I was told today that the car needs a new engine. My complaint is that there was zero warning from the electronics of the car - no "check engine" or "oil" lights ever came on, and the oil had completely burned up. There were no leaks at all when checked. I am now forced to pay over $5, 000 for a complete engine replacement. I do not think this should happen especially since there was no alert that anything was wrong with the vehicle. I am thankful my daughter was not hurt. I would appreciate anything Hyundai can do or offer to make this right.

Thank you,

Dear John Ruffini,
The 2013 sonata was recalled because the engine died on 500, 000 cars. Contact Hyundai to get a reimbursement for new engine.

Hyundai hyundai of lake norman-lease-on 9/28/18

Hi, I have leased before from Hyundai of Lake Norman and had the unfortunate mistake of doing it again. On Sept 28 I leased a Kona. The sales person said that they would make my first month payment and when I went to the office to sign the paperwork, he said they were making the 1st payment and the next was due on 10/30. I asked if it could be 45 days because the middle of month was better. He said I could call Hyundai Motor finance and ask. When I called he said that they can't change it from the 1st payment being 30 days from signing. ? Ok if first payment is 30 days from signing, than if they make my first payment than they should be making the Oct 30 payment and it shows on my paperwork I signed that my first payment is 10/30. So they lied.
And also the process was so frustrating. The sales person held up floor mats when I was test driving the Kona and said " you get these nice floor mats when you lease this. They were not in it when I left with the car and I emailed him and he said he would have to check on it and I haven't heard anything from him. And he let me drive away without my windows tinted.. I called him after I left and had to bring it back for the tinting. Cost me 4 hours out of my work day. Not even an apology.
Also on the door it said they give Kelly Blue Book. My previous lease was in excellent condition with 10000 miles less on it than it could of had and when I got home and checked, they gave me 1500 less than what Kelly Blue Book said.. I should of charged .20 a mile for what I didn't use. That would only of been fair. And there are other things that went on there wrong. Charges I asked to be taken off and I see on the paperwork they were not. That is the worse place I have ever dealt with. And I have leased a lot of cars. I will never get a Hyundai again and especially I have nothing good to say about Lake Norman Hyundai.

Hyundai service manager at hyundai 112 medford ny

I was on vacation until 10/8/18. I went out to start my car and when pressing the remote to start the car had a clicking noise. I called Hyundai road side assistance and they brought my car to Hyundai 112. I called to tell service that my car was being dropped off by road side assistance and tried to explain what was wrong w my car and I was transferred to service where the service manager was extremely rude and unaccomodating. I advised her of the problem w my car and I also advised that the windows on my car were down alittle and due to not being able to start the car I couldn't put the windows up. I asked if she could cover the windows or store my car inside over night. She rudely stated that it was a problem for her to do so. I also explained that the cover on the side of my seat where the electric buttons are piece was broken. That seemed to be a problem as well. I said we lll Hyundai centereach office said I could bring the car to be fixed at medford as well. That too was a problem and she advised I will have to bring the car back to where the seat was originally repaired. I asked her if she would be able to give me a loaner and now she was trying to push me off the phone that she can't give me anything and that they have 48 hours to look at my car and a car was out of the question. I also brought my car to Hyundai 112 last week as my air conditioner hose was kinked and my Matt's in the car were drenched. When I brought the car to them that time the service manager was a witch as well. I am so disheartened by the service I have received I will not buy another car from Hyundai. It's sad.. because I happen to love these cars but to be treated like lower class and a bothered does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I believe I am picking my car up tomorrow 10/9/18 as I don't trust the fact that she will do the right thing. I'm actually disgusted.

Hyundai car battery

My name is Priscille Beauvais,
In February I purchased a 2018 Hunday Sonata at Checkered Flag Hyunday in Virginia Beach, VA. My battery died 6 times to be exact. I've taken it to the dealership and nothing could be done because the car was currently working. I was told if it occurs again to have it tow to the dealership as is. On 10/3/18 the same issue occured, I called the dealership and they were not coorporative, I was transfer to so many people and was told them giving me a loaner was out of question. Once I mentioned I was told they would tow it and gave me a loaner for the time the car was in their procession, they were further agitated. I had a friend called on my behalf because my point wasn't getting across not sure if it's because I'm a woman. He called, we were told then it was possible to get tow, have a shuttle pick me up and my child and get a loaner. Nevertheless to say towing company didn't arrived until 9:28PM and office was close and I was left without a car for work. Now keep in mind that I am in the military, single mother with a 15 month old. Fast forward to 10/4/18 I couldn't go to work. I was called in the morning by service department they couldn't figure it why my car was there nor the location of the car. Again I explained the issue for the thousands times. Besides that is all I was doing the day prior being transferred from several people to service manager etc. Later that evening I was called again with an update of the car. The battery was totally drained and was replaced and a "drawl test" was being performed. With all that being said they wanted to keep it overnight. Again leaving me stranded. I explained to the person that I had to be at work at 0630. I was told nothing could be done and they wanted to keep the car until it was fix. Once again promess to have my car ready the third day at noon or a loaner will be issue for sure. On 10/05/18 I made it to base and my child made it to daycare thanks to the help of sailors. Work find out the issue and my LPO contacted the dealership. Again they were much nicer because he's a man, (by then I was convinced, ) he persisted on them fixing my car and explained the situation I was in. After several calls at work back and forth. A new promise was made, I was either getting my car/ loaner or (Nelson) the service department will call me back. I left work no call, no surprise there. Then it was 6:00PM I decided to call the dealership. I explained the issue was transferred again, left messages(service manager Meghan I believe her name was). I called again explaining to Tifanny that no one had answered that I wanted to speak to someone in charge. I was told service manager was gone for the day. I could either leave a message again or she could emailed the service manager herself. Now mind you this has been going on since Wednesday today is Saturday if that the way Hyundai treat a service member, single mother and customer shame on them. You have now loss my business and I will spread the word to other sailors not to buy there or Hyunday. I was appalled by the dealership behavior for not taking care of their customers. Shame on them too. No concerns, no care. To think that i brought a brand-new car at a dealership so I wouldn't have that kind of issue. I'm highly dissatisfied, disappointed. This company and dealership are not reputable. Shame.

Hope to get my car sometimes this year,

Priscille Beauvais

Hyundai bad service complaint

Terrible Service at Hyundai Hatfield I took my car for towbar installation, before 07H00 I was there, the second client for the day by 14H15 I was told they are starting with the car, it was then communicated that I didn't indicate i want the car earlier; im very disappointed at Hyundai Hatfield thats a terrible service. The attitude of service consultant Jenivive Hendricks stinks to the core. Avoid Hyundai Hatfield at all cost otherwise you will regret. Angry & ****ed. I bought this car to make my life easier and not to be at the mercy of Hyundai dealers luckily i know the other brands that conduct business professionally and take thier customers serious. I can't wait to return the car. Customer Keobakile

Hyundai power steering motor for 2012 hyundai azera

Motor went bad approximately 4 months ago. Is and has been on back order. Is expected to be at the warehouse on or about 8 Nov 2018. Was told this will most likely be a recall due to number of motors that have gone bad. Why can I not have either a loaner or a lease to drive? If there are so many motors going bad why has the problem not already been addressed?

Hyundai tittle release

Santa Fe is my 4th car financed by Hyundai. I had leased the car till 8/15/2018. I decided to keep the car and sent the final payments which was received 8/13/2018. I was told to wait 10 business days for tittle to be released. I have called 10th business days to make sure it did happen as I could not register the car without the tittle. I was assured the tittle was released. So I waited nervelessly as it was close to registration's expiration. I have called again 8/30 and was told the tittle was sent on 8/27/18. I waited till 9/5 not able to drive the car. I had to borrow the car to get to work. I called again 9/5 and was reassured that the tittle is in the mail. The rep even had tried to find the tracking number but then I was told it went regular mail and I should allow 7 business days to get it. According to my math it was 7 days since 8/27 but I waited till next day. The call on 9/6 made my heart stop! I was told that the tittle was not released yet and will be in the next 3 business days! I spoke to supervisor Sandra who could not explained how that had happen. All representatives were the liars all the time?! How is this possible?! They have my money but I don't have a car.

Hyundai 2014 accent

I purchased a 2014 Certified Pre-owned Accent at Red Hougland Hyundia in Winter Haven Florida in June 2015, October 2016 my car died in the grocery store parking lot, had to have Roadside assistance plck it up and take it to the dealer, I explained to the service advisor that there was an electrical problem, the a/c would shut off by itself, no fan motor, had to replace fuses, OH the battery is bad, batteries don't last long in Florida due to the heat...B/S. Battery was 1 month out of warranty but they replaced it at a prorated amount. So the same problems started happening again and low and behold the car died is the grocery store parking lot on Labor Day since we were told that the dealer was closed for the holiday roadside assistance would pick it up Tuesday the 4th, they took it to the dealer and again i heard the same B/S batteries don't last long in Florida its a bad battery it is out of warranty they wanted 175.00 to replace the battery. Nope took it to another place up the street where the technician informed us that the Hyundia dealership installed the wrong battery for my car with too low of cranking amps. The technician typed out a statement of findings that this would not have happened if the dealership had installed the correct battery in the 1st place. On to file a formal complaint with Corporate to be reimbursed for now 2 batteries. A 4 year old car should not be on its 3rd battery. The advisor and svc mgr talked to my daughter and myself in a condesending tone, treating us as if we were stupid calling us pet names. We deserve to be treated with the same respect as any man would be given. I am now telling friends and family to go elsewhere, next step after formal complaint with Corporate is a lawyer. 1st battery cost me 80.00 prorated by dealership, 2nd battery cost 130.00 I want to be reimbursed for my hard earned money and being disrespected by the dealership.

Hyundai turn signal bulbs

I'm continuously having to pay for a burned out turn signal bulb. I complained on July 16th 2018 when I had to have them BOTH replaced as they went out at the same time. Parts and labor were $92.13 and the driver side turn signal bulb is out again ! Evidently there is an electrical issue that I shouldn't have to pay for over and over again. The Hyundai dealer here in Victorville, Ca said a diagnostic test needs to be performed and I'm in agreement except I don't believe I should be paying for said test ! I also own a 2010 Genesis in addition to the 2015 which is having the problems. I have never had to have the turn signal bulbs changed once on the 2010. Please advise !

Hyundai extremely disappointed

Bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra from Herb Chambers Hyundai in Auburn MA on 6/01/2018. Was quoted and told one price on the phone and a totally different situation once at the dealership. The manager was rude and disrespectful and conducted any communication through the salesman. I think this is rude and extremely unprofessional and cowardly. I filled out a survey from Hyundai and went into more specific details about my experience and have heard nothing! This is my 3rd Hyundai and my family in total owns 6 so to say we're loyal to the brand is an understatement. I will never recommend this dealership who wouldn't budge about a $400 rebate I was told I would be getting. They wouldn't even meet in the middle. Even worse, I never received a thank you or a thank you card. Just extremely disappointed with the whole experience and will definitely make me reconsider another Hyundai

Same thing happens to me. The stupid Financial guy never called on the paid off of my trade in and the interest and late payments went rock high and they do not want to take responsability on that. I have to pay because the other car still in my name. Call so many places on the Company and everybody is avoiding responsability. They suck!

Hyundai worst mistake of my life!

On June 1, 2017, I purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited with Ultimate Package. Approximately six months ago, I noticed that when I released the brake to move forward after stopping the car would jerk. On June 2018, I took my car to Fort Mill Hyundai. The service center reset the adaptive values on my transmission and told me this would help correct the problem. This did not help at all. Within days the car was jerking once again.

A month later, while attempting to turn left across a main street, my car did not accelerate. The RPMs increased but the car did not move for at least 5 seconds if not longer. Two weeks later, while once again, I was turning left on another busy street the car did not accelerate. I took the car to South Charlotte Hyundai on August 6, 2018. After going three days without a car, South Charlotte Hyundai called (8/9/2018) to tell me my problem had been fixed by resetting the adaptive values on my transmission. This was the same "fix" Fort Mill Hyundai did in June 2018 which did not correct the problem.

On August 13, 2018, while traveling with my family, including my five-year-old nephew, my car failed to accelerate after a brief stop at a stop sign. I called Fort Mill Hyundai to make an appointment to have this serious issue looked at again. I was told that the earliest appointment that they had was a week from now on August 21, 2018.

Because of this serious issue with my car, I have been exploring the best option for me. After getting no satisfactory answer from the Hyundai USA consumer affair department, I decided that it may be best to do a private sale for my car. I did also visit the Fort Mill Hyundai to evaluate my option of trading in my car for a safer one. When my sales associate took my car to be evaluated they found that South Charlotte Hyundai made a major mistake which makes them, or any other dealers unwilling to purchase my car.

This mistake began in June 2017 when a light in my dashboard replaced. I took my car to South Charlotte Hyundai to have the light replaced. When the car was returned I noticed that the odometer had been reset to 0. I spoke with the serviceman about this reset and he showed me a sticker that they had put on the inside of the driver's door showing the original miles. When I raised my concern that people would not know the sticker was there the serviceman said: "the system will let them know that the odometer was reset."

Months later when I took my car to Precision Tune for an oil change, my miles was recorded as the amount on my current odometer reading. When I later took it to Fort Mill Hyundai in June 2018 they too recorded my miles at its current odometer reading. Another dealership also was not alerted to this issue and recorded the miles incorrectly as well.

These records of a lower mileage have raised a red flag on my Carfax report which I was unaware of until the recent appraisal at Fort Mill Hyundai. I was told, that it was determined they couldn't purchase my vehicle with this defect on the Carfax. The service manager went on to tell me that I could not sell the car privately with this defect. He said it could open me up to liability legal liability concerns.

I once again contacted, via phone, Hyundai USA about this new issue. I was told that the mistake can be fixed on Carfax. I called a few dealerships to see if this fix would help me and was told that while the dealership would purchase my car, it would not be purchased at the full value even with the Carfax not showing the red flag. He explained that there will still be a problem because the odometer does not show the actual miles on the car. I was advised to contact Hyundai USA about repurchasing the vehicle from me.

I then wrote to Hyundai USA explain that I could no longer receive full value from my car because of the reset of my odometer and that I need the full value in order to get a new safer car. Hyundai USA wrote back and informed me that "Based on that evaluation, we do not believe that the history warrants a repurchase." I was advised to discuss the repurchase with South Charlotte Hyundai.

I went to South Charlotte Hyundai to discuss the repurchase of my car. I explained that the car had been devalued by the reset of my odometer that they did. The person who was introduced to me as the sales manager was extremely rude. Not only did he not take my concern seriously he proceeded to offer me an extremely low amount for my car after I told him that I would not be interested in purchasing a new Hyundai with him. He didn't even stay to discuss the offer he just handed me the paper and walked away.

I contacted Hyundai USA on August 14, 2018, to ask them is there any way that they could not only fix my Carfax report but fix my odometer to reflect my actual mileage. The customer service representative I spoke with, Erin, was completely uncaring. She told me that Precision Tunes had made the mistake and that Hyundai USA will not help me with correcting the carfax report. She did not address the transmission issue or my request to have the odometer fixed. Her response was that Hyundai USA do not cause the issue and so they would not help me.

What I spoke to Precision Tunes, a few minutes after speaking with the Hyundai USA representative, I was told that the Precision Tunes personnel asked the Hyundai representative how they could help fix my Carfax and she did not answer. She told them that she was just calling to get the information.

On August 15, 2018 I spoke to Fort Mill Hyundai about fixing my odometer. They informed me that it can be done but South Charlotte Hyundai would have to send it off to be corrected. They also informed me that this was their procedure whenever they had to reset someone odometer. I even spoke with the company Fort Mill Hyundai uses to see if I could get it fixed my own but I was told it had to be done by the dealership.

Needless to say, I am very disappointed and upset by my experience with South Charlotte Hyundai, Hyundai USA and as a Hyundai owner. Not only is the transmission in this vehicle jerking and not accelerating at time which makes it a danger to drive, I am financially stuck with it because of the South Charlotte Hyundai.

Hyundai 2017 hyundai santa fe se

I purchased a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Se on July 2016, at first there was a hesitation issue I took to dealer and according to the service writer there was a update on the ecu. Yet after update vehicle had same issue, after a few months I returned to dealer this time when I get into vehicle start and put in gear no response would just stay as if car was in park. Explained to service writer what was happening left vehicle at dealership, get a call back stating we can not find issue, I had also complaint about tires wearing out on the inner side in the rear so according to tech and service advisor can not figure out the issue and that the tech will drive vehicle home for the night and teat drive. Next day got call from service advisor and same story no issues found. I see that there is a no win situation for customers. From my understanding is they techs are not paid good enough on warranty assignments so they brush those repairs off, repairs that are not warranties are corrected because technicians are paid well on those type of assignments. 8 months later I'm still dealing with the issue and have decided to let the finance company take vehicle back and take legal issue. I DONT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO BUY HYUNDAI VEHICLES THEY DONT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS OR WARRANTY. And whoever has a Hyundai be careful where you take your vehicle for service. Tires have lasted less than 10, 000 miles transmissions are horrible suspension is even worst DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Hyundai customer service

Was in the process of signing for a car when another customer came in and bought said vehicle before me. Manager wanted to see if could get me a better deal on financing then my already pre approved loan. I abliged him out of the kindness of my heart. He put a hard pull on my credit report for this very unsatisfactory visit. I was at dealership at 230pm. Incident happened at 730 PM so I had been at the dealership for 5hrs. Manager Jake Vargas came out of office and said someone came in and he just sold the car I was in the process of buying.. i was in the office and never seen anyone come in. Nobody was signing any paperwork and nothing was stated to me before he made his decision. He said it was first come first serve with the explanation that whoever gave him money first he would sell to. I was fully prepaid to pay him but only due to his advice to "let me get you a better deal through me finacing" did I wait. He had to pull my credit report which resulted in lowering my score and my chances in the future. When asked for a business card, Sales Manager Jack Vargus had no card and only provided me with his first name. I had to inquire about his last name and company name. I hope your company does not value this kind of service as it was very unprofessional. This situation was not handled appropriately and left me feeling taken advantage of and led on.

Hyundai 2013 hyundai tuscon - brandon hyundai, tampa fl

Fraud - Bait & Switch On 8/1/18 at 7:30 pm we contacted Brandon Hyundai in regards to a 2013 Hyundai Tuscan (Stock #H80931A) listed on Car Guru's and on the Brandon Hyundai website listed at $6994. We confirmed the price 3x with Hailey and agreed to drive 2 hours to their location to test drive this vehicle. On 8/2/18 at 9:00 am we arrived at Brandon Hyundai and discovered that the advertisement (Which we still have a printed copy) included the price of $6994, NEW TIRES, NEW BREAKS, & CERTIFIED was true until we were in the car test driving it. When we returned, the dealership changed the price to $11, 998 and would not honor the new breaks, new tires, and would not certify the car because it now had a few too many miles on it! Being horrified at what was happening, they said that "for us" they would let us have it at $9900! This place needs to be shut down if this is how they conduct business and fraudulently advertise their vehicles.

Hyundai hyundai accent hyundai elantra and the other cars and kia

I was test driving a Hyundai Accent 2014 at Hyundai Garden Grove (Garden Grove CA) and was highly Upset. The car was very dangerous when I was test driving it I almost crashed it was unsafe the technology I was sensitive to unsafe made me delirious sleepy and almost crashed i couldn't see because the window wasn't clear. Car had some malfunctuons. Cars were dirty. Both cars as well as the other cars. The look of the car was ugly nothing exciting about it and the Hyundai Elantra dirty. Car was hurting me I was in pain from the The book manuals you can't read dangerous couldn't see it manufactured blurry hurting me. The paper was sensitive to my skin hurting me. Paper is also vulgar demons starting rubbing on my private areas. Violating. The cars are demonic and dangerous ugly non relaxing can't drive it because of the manufacturing how the car was made.

Hyundai hyundai i20

On the 27/06/2018 my husband and I went to Hyundai pinetown to shop for a vehicle, on arrival we met with a salesman named Kashan who assisted us. A deal was put through for a new Hyundai i10 of which came back with a high installment. We then tried another vehicle and it was the same, we then wanted to leave the dealership.

Kashan insisted he has another vehicle Hyundai i20 that was just traded in and we should have a look at that vehicle. We had a look and went for a +-3min test drive. Apon viewing the vehicle we noticed on some scratches and dents on the vehicle which my husband pointed out to the salesman. He informed us that everything would be fixed and touched up. He then put the deal through and requested a deposit of which we informed him when we walked in we do not have a deposit. The bank wanted a deposit and we clearly said we do not have a deposit and we said we will leave and try applying for a cheaper car somewhere else. The salesman insisted they will make a plan to get the deal through.

On the 28/06/2018 I received a call to come in and sign for the vehicle as it was the branches financial year end and they wanted to put the deal through before closing of their books. I went to the branch to sign, and only to my surprise the vehicle was not ready to be taken. I was then told if I get everything sorted out on that day, I would receive a R500 fuel voucher. I was informed that the vehicle would be ready for collection on Monday 02/07/2018. I called on Monday to arrange for someone to pick my husband and I up, and was told the vehicle was still not ready, and will be ready on Tuesday 03/07/2018. On Tuesday I was told again that the vehicle was not ready and would be ready on Wednesday 04/07/2018 by 10am.

On Wednesday 04/07/2018 at 9:30am my husband and I was picked up and taken to the dealership, only to be told that the vehicle was not there. We waited till 01:30pm till the vehicle came back. My husband noticed that there was scratches and paint on the front bumper that was not sorted out and informed salesman Kashan, his response was we should bring it back to get fixed. At 14:12 on the same day I sent Kashan a message stating that I really disappointed with the vehicle, he call us and we explained we discovered more faults with the vehicle.

Faults are.
*Squeaking clutch
*Squeaking brakes
*Knock on the steering wheel when turning
*Rattling at the back of the vehicle
*Steering being very stiff when driving
*Rust spot at the back of the boot lid
*Knock coming from the back of the vehicle when braking.
*Faded paint on mirrors

On the 05/07/2018 Kashan replied and said it's good we informed him early as this was not our faults that we caused.

On the 10/07/2018 I tried to contact Kashan, with no response from him. I then sent him a message stating I'm unhappy and what is going on. He informed me that he was not at work and was off sick.

On the 11/07/2018 I called the branch and spoke to a manager named Venesh and explained my problem of which he was aware of. I explained I do not want the vehicle and they should cancel the deal as I was extremely disappointed with the vehicle. His response was "sorry you signed for the vehicle and, they cannot take it back"

12/07/2018 no response from dealership regarding my complaint, or the fact that I no longer wanted the vehicle.

On the 13/07/2018 I sent Kashan a message stating that I was waiting for a response from him, as I explained to him on the 05/07/2018 that I no longer wanted the vehicle

On the 16/07/2018 I received a message asking when can my husband drop of the car, I replied back informing them that it's back to school for our kids and we have no other means of picking and dropping them at school. And I will inform him when I can bring the vehicle in, as I need to find other means of transport for my kids 1st, as they wer not willing to provide me with a courtesy vehicle.

On the 23/07/2018 my husband took the vehicle in to Hyundai pinetown and was informed it would be ready by the evening for collection as we still did not have any means of transport. To my surprise the car was not ready by that evening.

On the 24/07/2018 I was informed that the vehicle was gone to the panel beaters.

On the 25/07/2018 my husband was picked up from home and taken to the dealership to collect the vehicle. As he collected the vehicle he noticed that the key was broken and following faults was not sorted out.
*Squeaking clutch
*Squeaking brakes
*Knock on the steering wheel when turning
*Rattling at the back of the vehicle
*Steering being very stiff when driving
*Knock coming from the back of the vehicle
After 3 days of them having my vehicle and only the rust spot and mirrors was sorted, and It came back with a broken key. He complained on the spot and they informed him to leave the vehicle back as they will fix up the faults and the broken key, and return the vehicle to me on the 26/07/2018.

On 26/07/2018 Kashan informed me that everything was sorted out and he will be dropping the vehicle off at my home, only to notice, they only fixed the key and nothing else was fixed.
My husband called the branch and spoke to a manager named Venesh and questioned why the faults was not sorted out. His response was " he sold me the vehicle below cost and they are not willing to repair the faults" of which I knew nothing of them selling me the vehicle below cost. My husband took the vehicle back to Hyundai and had a meeting with Venesh and the workshop manager. My husband explained the faults and questioned why are we being lied to that the vehicle was being sorted out. A response from Venesh was again that the vehicle was sold below cost. My husband respond by saying " we did not beg you or hold a gun to your head in order for you to sell us the vehicle below cost and now that there are faults with the vehicle you refusing to fix it"
Venesh was holding the vehicle file in his hand, he opened the file shoved the file in my husbands face and said in a rude and abrupt manner " I did not hold a gun to your head and ask u to sign for this vehicle" and then threw the file on the desk for the workshop manager to look at. My husband stood up and told Venesh this is not the way to treat customers, this is not a spaza dealership at the corner of the road, it's Hyundai a well-known reputable company, and walked out the office. He went straight to the Dealer principal named Mark and explained what has just happened, and the manner in which he was spoken to and treated. Mark apologised and told my husband that he should bring the vehicle in on Tuesday 27/07/2018 and he will make sure everything will be sorted out or try and get the vehicle out of our hands

On the 27/07/2018 my husband dropped the vehicle off at Hyundai pinetown at 09:30, all faults that was needed to be fixed was noted on the job card . At 17:00 we received a call from the salesman Kashan informing us that the vehicle was fixed the vehicle was going to be dropped off at my home. My husband explained if all the faults was not sorted out, they should not bother delivering the vehicle, at 18:00 the vehicle was dropped off Only to notice that.

The paintwork on the bumper was not fixed. The knocking sound on the steering was not fixed. The rattling noise from the back was not fixed.
As well as it came back with a new knocking sound coming from the front tire when going over speed bumps.

I cannot understand why a company like Hyundai would constantly be lying to me. Why is it Everytime the vehicle goes in for repairs and comes back with a new fault. I am starting to believe that, they are creating these faults Everytime the car is with them. I am now stuck with a vehicle that I was lied to about. I have now lost all hope with Hyundai and honestly regret giving them business. They have wasted my time, as well as financial strain as I had to Uber my kids to and from school on the days they had my vehicle As they refused to provide me with a courtesy vehicle, as these faults was not caused by me, and came with the vehicle. I now fear for this vehicle as I stress to wonder what other hidden faults will surface in the days to come, I as well fear to take my vehicle back to them as I have lost all trust with that branch and feel they will cause more faults in the vehicle.

I have failed with the salesman and his manager 3 times, I thought I would get some joy with the dealer principal, but to my surprise it was also a fail. What do I do in a situation like this.
