    Answered
    Hyundai has lied to me since the beginning. My vehicle had an open warranty and I had to schedule an appointment and wait 2 months to get my car in, as it was not drivable. When I made my appointment the rep assured me that everything would be fixed THAT DAY. 2 months came and I took my vehicle in to the Hyundai Korum shop in ********, **. When I arrived the receptionist told me that it was actually a 2 part appointment and that I would have to bring my vehicle back again for them to actually fix it, and none of that had been told to me for 2 months of waiting. This was not possible as my car was not drivable. I told them that I had purchased a new battery less than a month ago. After about an hour the receptionist told me that the technician had "taken the panel off and visually inspected my alternator" but had not done anything else. This was NOT the entire process for the recall, as I had it all in writing. They stated that they ran a diagnostic on my car and the battery was the only is***. 2 days later, my car would not drive AGAIN. I contacted the service manager ***** who said he would investigate and return my call, but his receptionist had promised verbally that if my car had an is*** again they would pay to tow it back. ***** did not return my call for 2 weeks, so I contacted Hyundai Cooperate. My case manager was absolutely useless and did NO investigating. He stated he would pull the phone calls, which he did not and only took the employee's story but did not look at actual facts. My case with Hyundai was #********. The case manager did not do his job and said there was nothing else he could do to help me and that I would have to on my own call back the ************* to them. I told him I had been trying to contact them for weeks and they had been dodging my calls to which he replied "there's nothing else to do unless you want to hire a lawyer". This employee, ****** encouraged me to *** his own company rather than help me render services promised to me.

    Purchased a *********** in April. When finalizing paper work I specifically asked about getting service for my complimentary routine service. Because of past experiences with dealership figured did not and usually cant wait two months to get oil changed. Of course to just get paperwork done we were told that was not the issue with this service and would not have wait an excessively long time(had service for this in a few days we were told). My vehicle has been promoting me to have oil change by **** miles. So called service and she stated no we will be changing at ****. Asked if wanted to schedule but I said if not needed until **** would wait and thats when she said they are booking appointments out in Dec. if they cant do routine service when needed feel they should not have it in purchase of vehicle and/or offer discount off price to opt out. When I did develop an issue that mechanic found that should be taken care by Hyundai on warranty dealership stated because a third part did the service item was not covered by warranty. What good is warranties if cant get prompt service? Also just looked at few comments from the past by other customer I agree with most of their comments and truly believe company does not really care about any customer once sale is done. **** also be writing to Hyundai directly about probably numerous customers dissatisfaction on this issue.

    Thank you for your feedback.  As demands for Service have been increasing over the last three years, it has been the intention of our staff members to communicate such and make every effort to schedule services for our customers in a timely and proactive fashion. It seems inconsistent with our standards that we would dismiss such a concern at the time of your purchase. We will however re-enforce our intentionality with our team. Our team did appropriately inform you of the correct service interval, for your vehicle, at the time of your inquiry when your vehicle had ***** miles.  It is our understanding, at that same time, there was an attempt by our staff to schedule your service for the ***** miles maintenance interval.  Our records indicate that offer was declined.  We certainly want to do all we can to provide timely service to you and your vehicle and will make every attempt to do so proactively, as we certainly understand industry and consumer demands.  Your warranty coverages are administrated by Hyundai and our Service Manager would be more than happy to discuss those coverages with you should you have further questions.  We do value the relationship with each and every one of our customers and hope that we may be able to effectively partner with and serve you during your ownership period in the future.
