Hyundai bad service - bad quality - concerns

Hyundia (Montreal-North)

Re : Complaint - Repainting Vehicle Week of Dec.02.2013

Good Morning,

I picked up my vehicle this morning and to my surprise there was 2 issues that where not present when I dropped off my car on Dec.02.2013 and Mr.Carmen seemed to not care at
All that this was done to my car, we discussed this issue and he told me to complain and I
Have sent information to Mr.Gabriel (Owner Gabriel Hyundia) as my brother works for
Him for the past 35 years and knows him personally.

Included below are 2 pictures of issues that where not present on my vehicle and Mr.Carmen walked with me and reviewed the car when it was dropped off and is fully aware that I am telling the truth he just chooses for his own reasons to lie and tell his version of the issues. I understand he is protecting his assets and reputation but these issues occurred while the vehicle was in his possession from Dec.02 to Dec.06 2013.

The overpaint on the rear bumber (drivers side back panel) is clear and this was not there when the vehicle was dropped off and for him to correct this would have taken 15 minutes and when a customer spends over $2, 700 for a repair/paint job I would assume you correct issues that happened when car is in your possession.

As for the missing piece on the from plastic rubber bumber cover (front passenger side) I admit and showed this to Mr.Carmen that the plastic was cracked and I stated clearly the piece was cracked and not missing from the car and he told me it would cost $800 to replace the entire bumber cover and I told him to leave it as-is and to my surprise this morning when I picked up the car the piece was missing….. if they removed the bumber to paint the vehicle then this damage occurred during this process and they either chose to not mention it or just did not notice either way the car from dropped off with the piece intact and with only a small crack… how can it completely be broken off while in their
Possession is beyond me…. At least they could have told me if an error occurred and they chose not even to mention anything, to me this is dishonest and bad business ethics.

I will bring these issues to small claims court if nothing is done, I will go as far as the law permits to bring these issues to the forefront of everyone having a vehicle serviced at your location. All I want is to have these issues looked at based on the truth and not some lies. I felt this morning that Mr.Carmen did not treat me with respect and did not seem to care one way or the other about my issues…. Completely and utterly disrespectful or my concerns.

Hyundai damage caused by workshop and other damage not repaired

I purchased a secondhand vehicle from Hyundai Wonderboom.
It went back a week later to fit fog lights and to repair a few minor issues, however my vehicle ended up staying there for a month.
1. The dealership sent my vehicle to a 3rd party named Vision Motors
2. this 3rd Party Vision Motors Claimed that they found no issues with my vehicle
3. Vision Motors Blew My vehicles ECU and never informed me.
4. I received the vehicle back after a minth and now there is more damage than when it went in.

Hyundai car financing scam

Do not use the viccredit that they have at the dealership! with no credit due to bankrupcy 4 years agoi(divorce will do that to you) was told by the salesman abdul masood (aka "moose") at victoria hyundai i could establish credit again with the purchase of one of their used cars. the car is a 2010 cobolt, 2-door, standard shift, with 36km on it at a whopping 17.9% interest rate! bought the car (originally priced at $10500) yet with the "care car packages" that were "essential" to keep the car in mint condition for optimum trade-in value" (their words, not mine) this car was financed for almst $17000!not the car i wanted but, as i was assured by moose & the financial manager (forgot the name here) that i just take care of the car, bring it back in precisely 10 months then i could get the car i wanted at a much reasonable interest and have established credit. ok 10 months passed, went back to the dealership to discuss trade-in. all of a sudden, they cant do anything for me...i have to wait another month. so at the now 11 month mark, they say they still cant do anything for me...gotta wait a few more months. so, with the sales manager indervir brar (aka "indy") and audra mailer (financing specialist?!) i asked for specifics & in writing regarding date to return car, how much interest rate would drop etc, they got very very forceful & intimidating that their hands were "bound" by the bank & they dont put that type of info in writing. i told them to check out other banks instead of using scotia bank where the car loan was held at the moment. they wouldnt. said it would be the same elsewhere. i asked to speak to steve munro, dealer principal, they said there was no point, he would just reiterate what they were saying. i left in tears. yes, naive to think the salesman, abdul masood, was a creditable dealership rep and that victoria hyundai was reputable, ethical company with fair business practices. ripped off doesnt even come close to how i feel...violated sure does though.

Update by being "F'd" over
Jan 14, 2014 4:28 pm EST

The car payments have been made on time & at the biweekly rate on regular basis. To insinuate otherwise in writing is bordering on libel, Steve.
Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of BC (VSA) stated that there was "insufficient evidence" to follow through with a judgment.. HOWEVER, VSA did not provide details as to its investigation, re: staff interviews, documents, etc. in its report. Justification of VSA's findings is required. Therefore, Jan 13th, 2014, I faxed a "PIPA" form under the Freedom of Information Act to Victoria Hyundai & VSA for copies of documents, transcriptions etc. that are applicable to my complaint. Victoria Hyundai & VSA have 30 days (Feb. 12th, 2014) to provide me with the items requested in the PIPA form. Fraud, misrepresentation, withholding pertinent information is not what the CONSUMER expects from a credible business.

Hi Stephanie.

I'm pleased to report that the VSA, at your request, has completed the investigation into your allegations of wrongdoing on this matter. They are the court appointed consumer watchdog specific to vehicle sales in BC. They have sent you a copy of the same letter that they have sent us and have advised that after a complete investigation that the dealership has done nothing out of line with the legislation related to this matter.

As VSA files are public record, you or anyone wishing to see a redacted copy of this final report can request one via email direct from the vsa (at http://www.mvsabc.com).

We are disheartened that you remain upset, but remain at your service. Over time, and with good repayment history your rate will drop even further.

Thanks.

Hi Stephanie, Steve here. Thanks for your feedback. Please check for our response in the feedback on the Google review that you left on this matter also. We are disheartened that we were unable to resolve the concern to your complete satisfaction. As an aside, we see that you have filed a complaint with the Vehicle Sales Authority. We are never happy that someone is upset that they feel that they have to have an independent body look into things, however are glad that you have taken this step, as the unbiased investigation will provide to both of us some good feedback. Keeping your privacy as required, we plan on updating both this and the google review with the interpretation that the VSA has on your complaint. Stay tuned. Please feel free to call us if you have any suggestions. We remain at your service, thanks and Happy New Year!

Hyundai poor service, misleading, unsklled

Have had consistently bad service throughout my warranty with Victoria Hyundai. Long waits in line, for service advisers are common. There are up to hour-long waits for shuttles, and once in the shuttle it has taken as long as an hour to be shuttled hom, because of the numerous stops that are made ahead of mine.

I waited up until today to get a call back from a service adviser that was supposed to call me back 9 days prior, and was put on hold for 15 minutes. I called back and insisted I talk to the manager, and was told he was busy. I left a message, and waited 1 1/2 hours without a response. I called back and he was still unavailable. He finally called back 1/2 an hour later and argued with me, and was unwilling to listen to complaints I had.

Service advisers do not advise properly. I still have a problem with my car stalling, when i fill it with any amount of gas. This problem occurs for a few minutes, until I've driven it for a while. Years ago, the service technician advised an expensive tune-up package and that I replace ignition cables. The problem is my 2009 Hyundai Accent has ignition coils. I've also, brought my car in for one thing, and told other parts need replacing, such as my cabin air filter, (which was changed a month prior).

Often I'm phoned and contacted for numerous reasons, (verging on harassment), so that the dealership can drum up more business from me.

Finally, my biggest concern is that I bought a lemon. I've had the weather stripping of my Accent replaced under warranty, and when i mentioned, to the service technician, that the weather stripping was bleeding some sort of sealant onto my sunroof, again, he basically said it was my problem and I should have kept the weather stripping conditioned, (I don't know why he didn't advise me on this the first time it was replaced). My check engine light comes on constantly. The most recent light came on a month after I got it back from the shop, after a faulty purge valve was replaced. So much of my time has been wasted dealing with the service department, coming in for the inspection and then coming in for another appointment for the repair work.

My issue with the dealership began with trying to buy a car from Victoria Hyundai, only to have the sleazy dealer try to inflate the price. I bought my car, cheaper, from Duncan Hyundai, but should have learned my lesson what type of dealership Victoria Hyundai was and what I would be dealing with in the future.

No. My car does not have ignition cables, and yes it does have coils. The service adviser did not know this, or was trying to charge me to replace a part I didn't have. The adviser was just as ignorant to not tell my why my weather stripping was ruined the first time. When is a 2 hour delay ever expected? If there is a 2 hour delay, they should say how slow their shuttle service is.

This is my complaint. It is valid. I've been in customer service a long time and have dealt with the service industry long enough to know when I have had bad customer care.

just to tell you 1 thing, Cars all have ignition coils, That is what creates the energy for the spark, and most cars have ignition cables, this is what brings the energy to the spark plug.

As for the weather stripping, Yes you need to condition it, even Vaseline will do the trick, you must of been ignorant and forgot to read the owners manual.

As for the shuttle service, were you the farthest drop or the drop most out of the way? if so, you are the last drop all the time. And for waiting an hour for a shuttle? If it takes an hour to drop every one off, then they pick up people coming back, a 2 hour delay is expected from leaving to coming back to the dealership. so an hour wait is not that long.

Hyundai poor maintenance quality

I bought a brand new four cylinders Hyundai Santafe 2012 and I have been using it for 10 months only!.
One month ago the engine strated turning off by it self especially when I crank it up the first time at morning, sometimes it fails to start and sometimes it starts and turns off immediatly.
When I stop at a traffic light it turns off also!. I took it to al majdouie whose the agent in the region I live in they changed the fuel pump and tried many things but all their work was useless. It still has the same problem. For more than one month they did not detect the problem. Although I don, t have another car to use. The worst thing that they tell me that they have ghanged some parts but then I find that they did not do any thing

And I don, t know if this is the right place to write my complaint in.
Please help and advise

Hyundai terrible service

My fiance recently bought me a brand new IX35 to celebrate our engagement; however the excitement of this purchase was short lived when the managers at this branch started harassing myself and my finance. We were unhappy with the financing they arranged for us and when we refused to purchase the vehicle were met with emotional blackmailing and manipulation. After many fights we decided to take the vehicle; however from the first day we experienced problems with the vehicle:
1) Firstly the park assist system which we had installed stopped working. We had front park sensors installed by Milnerton. They already had the guys come out once to fix it and it is still not working!
2) The handbrake does not work properly
3) The wheel balancing is completely out and the car is pulling left
4) The reverse gear is not functioning properly, it struggles to get into gear
5) They also installed the wrong smash and grab shade on the vehicle, we were informed that 35% was installed but you can clearly see its 50%

Frank Marshall from the Milnerton branch test drove the new vehicle and claimed that there were definitely something wrong with the park assist. He also claimed that he agreed that the incorrect smash and grab was installed; however as soon as we asked them to fix the problems and the smash and grab he denied ever saying it.

We resorted to contact the customer complaints department where we spoke with Nadine Blom and Max Germani; however they kept on passing the buck back to the Milnerton branch.

We are seriously thinking about giving the vehicle back and just paying for the 800km driven with it.

DON’T EVER BUY A HYUNDAI. THEY ARE THE WORSE MOTOR VEHICLE COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA. Hyundai really has to do something spectacular to win back my confidence in this brand.

Would you please assist me in resolving this issue as I have had no joy with Hyundai South Africa.

Hyundai bad business

We have 2 Hyundai’s 2012 Sonata, and a 2011 Tucson. The 2012 is financed with Hyundai Motor Finance and the 2011 is financed with the local Credit Union. We love the cars, the Finance Company, not so much. We had an automatic draft taken out of our bank account and had no problems for the first year. Then my husband got a nasty call and said we were past due by 2 weeks. I said how can that be, it’s set up on an auto draft? Well I was told that you have to renew that every year…. WHAT?
AND, when was I going to get notice of that? Well, guess you don’t you just get a nasty call. Next month the same thing happened, 2 weeks late and they call and I’m like what is wrong with you? I can send a check if you can’t figure it out.
Some people making reviews are so upset they are writing the Attorney General and if it will do any good so will I.

Hyundai mishandling

Dear Sir,
I sent my car I-20(magna) Regn. NO. UP 14 AV 4773 for repairs to brakes only on 20-07-2013 to the Work Shop of your Dealer M/S Himgiri Motors, Jhilmil Indl Area Delhi.
After having changed the brakes, the Car was carried for trial by the Staff/Crew of the Dealer it was a rainy day with heavy down pour that caused water logging all over.
While returning after trial during rain, the driver foolishly took a water logged route where the Engine stopped and the Car got struck. It remained mostly emmeresed in water for about Two hours.
The water that waided inside the car has caused lot of damages . Although the damages are being attended to by the dealer, yet I am un- aware of the extent there of caused to my Vehicle and consequences thereof in future even if the damages are confirmed to be made good by the dealer .
I therefore wish to bring this eventuality to the notice of your good self that all the defect arising out as a result of mis-handling of the Car by the dealers driver and the lackadaisical repairs thereto, if caused any problem or mal-functioning in future, shall be made good by the Company without any extra cost to me.
This is without Prejudice.

Hyundai unwanted calls

I keep getting calls from Hyundai Finance department every day for the last month. From 8am to 9pm. I don't own a Hyundai or Kia, I have never owned one and all my cars are paid off. They are looking for a guy who shares the same last name as me but I have no idea who it is. Most of the time, I try to answer but it just hangs up. The few times I have spoken to them and after I tell them I am not that person they just hang up, even when I try to tell them to take me off the list. I have called them twice now to have them remove my number by providing my cell number and even my ssn to prove that I don't have an account with them. I don't know what else to do. Please repo that damn car so you don't call me anymore. I am getting tired of people calling me so early in the morning.

Hyundai pathetic service

I have received dispicable and disgusting digusting service from this branch and I am at mu wits eend since I have bene trying to get my car fixed for over a year now but to no avail, they kept coming back saying nothing is wrong, and the problem worsened., only to find out three weeks back that that there was a pipe glogged and twisted, now you tell mme what service is that let alone customer service. I was then told that the part was r700 and we need to pay for the part, after many arguments, they finanlu called the powers that be only to be told that the part falls under the warranty, now you tell me who the hell is not doing their job. The oart was then to be ordered and now three weeks later I am yet to get feedback or aany update on the whats happening... If this issue is not addressed as a matter of urgency I will be left no choice but to escalate this matter to who ever will be willing to assist, and it will definately reach top management.!

Hyundai poor quality tyres

In August 2010 I purchased a Hyundai I10.
After doing 22000 km, at the beginning of 2012, 2 tyres developed a bulge between the casing and the inner tyre and had to be replaced. I complained to Hyundai in Amanzimtoti at the Service Workshop,
in person, who promised to look into the matter. I then called them at least 5 times, to which they never replied and to date have not heard from them. I have since replaced the 3rd tyre and today the 4th tyre blew whilst I was travelling on the freeway. Miraculously I managed to keep the vehicle under control. The tyre completely destroyed my rear bumper and the left rear light.
This a factory fitted tyre - called KUMHO.

Hyundai crankshaft failure - 30000kms

I had purchased a Santro xing from Kun hyundai during the month of may 2008. During the month of oct/nov 08 i had noise coming from the engine when i accelerate/decelerate. when taken for service, they informed it was a worm gear problem and needs to be changed and would cost me Rs.3500/- . I told them that the vehicle is under warranty and hence they could go ahead with the replacement. however after 2 days while delivery the vehicle there was no mention of the job being undertaken on the worm gear in the bill given. on my inquiry, they said it got rectified all by itself. 2009 onwards was facing pick up problem in my vehicle, especially when the a/c is turned on. there would be a dragging feeling if the vehicle touches 89km/hr. further after deceleration the pickup would not be there and the vehicle takes time to pick speed. I had taken 4 yr extended warranty which got expired last year. have been getting my vehicle serviced thru HMPL in Ekkattuthangal & at alandur. Numerous times during servicing within warranty period, had raised the issue of poor pick up of my vehicle and that of my steering not centering itself. every time the service engineers would say that the vehicle is fine and that is the right amount of speed the vehicle gives my steering is also perfectly fine. Have taken my uncles limited edition santro and my friends santro for comparison with mine to the service centres on showing them the picku given by these cars and the centring of steering automatically even if slightly turned.. then again the engineers were of the opinion that all is fine in my vehicle. Gave my vehicle for service to HMPL on april 30th 2013 with the same complaint of poor pickup and self centering not being there. This time the engineer informed me that the crankshaft of the vehicle is got damaged, the ball bearings have worn out and the same needs to be changed, which would cost me 30k approx. tried speaking to people in HMP but got poor response and was intimated that as part of good will they would reduce Rs.5000/ from my bill. Had they done this correction during the warranty period, I would not have to cough up so much amount. Request hep in getting this corrected and taking this matter to to most person in Hyundai.

I love My santro, but this kind of customer service really puts off a person from wanting to buy another product from the same stable.

Dear Friends,
On my writing to the Chairman & managing director of Hyundai at BSSEO@hmil.net, I was called and offered a further discount of Rs. 2000/-. I am wondering as t why should I bear the cost of the repair when it is a manufacturing defect or usage of low quality part in the vehicle by Hyundai. I have been raising this issue of poor pick up from quite a lot of time. I wonder if Hyundai of such big repute does servicing without having good trained and qualified engineers who could have diagnosed this problem earlier and given me a solution during the warranty period itself. Am not negotiating for cost, it is cause and I want Hyundai to accept the fact that there was manufacturing defect in my vehicle and the same needs to be repaired at no cost.

Request the support of all members in this forum for my cause.

Regards

Krishna Kumar S

Hyundai cosigning on a loan that car got reposssed

Cosigned for 2 car loans with HMF company. I am current/ahead on my car loan with them. The other loan was for a relative whose car got repossess. I was roped into this, by saying the car payment would be in nephews name. When car payments came they were both in my name. Sports Durst Automotive in Durham, NC is a shady company. Now I have to pay after they auctioned off the car ( $11, 598.00-- balance). I permanently disable/medicare on a set salary. Turned over the amount to a collection agency & now have put a LIEN ON MY CAR. HAVE PAID $1600.00 TOWARD THE PEPOSSESSED car. HMF has been uncooperative in working with me toward this balance, when I wrote & told them I could only pay &200.00. They have not agreed to this in writing. I'm 62 yrs.old. I ADVISE TO STAY CLEAR OF THEM

Hyundai battery excanged

On 27 Msarch 2013 my Getz 1.4 went for a 60 000 km service. When I received it back I noticed that the battery was disconnected and since then I have problems with this battery. I have to jumpstart my car every day. I did not have this problem prior to the service. I think they exchanged my battery for an older and wornout battery. This is unacceptable!

A week later when I phoned Jacques again he assured me that the vehicle will go to the spray booth to be sprayed. When the end of Feb came Jacques resigned and a new adviser took over by the name of Monique, my wife went to see her and Monique showed my wife the vehicle and it was standing at the same place when it was towed in, in december this is when the blaming game started blaming Hyundai SA for not delivering, when I spoke to Hyundai Menlyn Andries vd Merwe the parts was delivered and so this goes on, today when phone again because they do not phone you I was told that the dashboard that was ordered was wrong and they waiting for another one after 98 days bad.

Hyundai lost/missing car payment

14 Mar 2013

I mailed inside my Post Office in Woodbridge, VA, my monthly Hyundai Accent car payment (personal check, $257.11) to Hyundai Motor Finance (HMF) on 4 March 2013. Payment was due 9 March. As of this date (14 Mar) payment has not cleared my bank. I phoned HMF "customer service" [protected], spoke to a guy named "Henry, " who said, "We can't check our mail room or accounts receivable" for my check. In my 50+ years of financing autos, I've never experienced a lost or missing payment. I'd heard that HMF was a less than reliable group. Now I know firsthand.

Hyundai no cheque received for sale of car to hyundai

My Fiancé Alvin Meyer bought a new car from Hyundai Styrdom Park last Tuesday 26th February. Andre Louw was the salesman on this deal. We sold our corsa to Hyundai for R35 000. Andre took possession of the Corsa on Saturday 23rd February. We were told that the cheque would be ready when we came to collect the new car on the 26th February but for some reason it had not been issued.
Emails have been going backwards and forwards and everyday it is another story.

It is now 9 days later and we are still waiting for the cheque. I
As you can imagine we are now extremely irritated as the dealership has taken possession of our car and no cheque has been issued by HO.
