I purchased my vehicle a Hyundai ****** from the Wesley Chapel Dealership in 2016. I also purchased the extended warranty. Within the first year I had several issues with recalls. Over the next few years this continues to go on regularly. Ive also taken it to the ********************* Dealership for recalls and repairs. This past Dec 2, 2022- 1/3/2023 the Wesley Chapel Hyundai ****************** had my car for repairs and gave me a loaner vehicle. During this month I called several times and was told the parts are being ordered I expressed the problems with things like the gas tank not being able to pump a full tank of gas. In addition to electrical system, lights blowing out within days of being replaced, including the safety recall on the brakes. On 1/3/2023 Upon picking up the car and leaving the parking lot (under construction) that there was a nail in the tire. When I went back they acted as if they were oblivious about the ongoing construction and that the nail could have already been there. Insisted that i purchase new tires. Fast forward to this month theres still issues. Parts were ordered and I was given a loaner car. Its been two weeks and they say I need to pay for the labor on the parts theyve been waiting on since December 2022 at which would have been covered under the manufacture warranty. Again I also purchased an extended warranty at the time my vehicle was purchased which is still valid. Now theyre insisting on charging me for the service work. I find this unacceptable and unethical. *** tried speaking with several people and get nowhere. *** filed a complaint with the Hyundai **************** and have a case number. I believe that the dealer ship is responsible for the charges. Its their obligation to provide service for parts that werent available at the time. I just want my car fixed properly. Its now been years of dealing with these issues. *** never had a car with so many recalls.Business response

Poor communication from their ******************* I bought the car in the last week of Feb, the car was towed back to the lot the 1st week of March. The car sat at the ************** for a week before I had any idea what was wrong with it. I called several times and could not get through to anyone that was helpful.The car was not sold "as is" it was sold with a 2k mile ************* bought an additional warranty on top of that. It should be common courtesy to ATLEAST call they customer and say xyz is wrong with the call. At some point finally after days of calling i get through and they tell me they need to order the part, cool. I ask about a loaner vehicle, they said they'd call me back but never did.Fast forward i pick the car up after being fixed and drive it for about a week, week and a half, or so and the car loses power in traffic. I have been calling, calling, calling, and calling some more. I have talked to folks in Sales and folks in the ******* center to try and get clear direction on how to get my vehicle back to the lot to be checked out. The folks in ******* say call this 800 # but they 800 # says they do not tow cars that are not Hyundai, call *******. ******* tell me to ask my Sales person because "Sales is the biggest division at the company and has more pull to get things done". I call Sales and Sales tells me to call *******. One big unproductive loop. The disappointing thing is the first time i had an issue they had a tow truck out within 24 hours and my Sales guy handled it all. I did not have to do anything outside of notifying him.At this point i have been promised call backs from my ******* advisor ****** and the ******* Manager, ****, mentioned on Thursday evening he would chat with someone on Friday to figure things out and give me a shout. Today is Saturday and I have not been given clear guidance or have been told my car is getting picked up and taken back to the lot to be checked out.Business response

I show As.having.2 cars And they have destroyed my credit of the credit bureau. I have called Literally dozens of times and have gotten no assistance whatsoever.

1/1/2023 the engine in my 2017 Tucson went out. The vehicle was delivered to the Wesley Chapel Dealership the on 1/7/2023 and is currently still there. I purchased the vehicle 6/6/2020 as a CPO with a 10yr/100k mile warranty. The Dealership has confirmed the engine replacement is covered under the warranty but Hyundai is not honoring the warranty. The dealership has a Carfax of regular/reasonable oil change history. But as of submission of this complaint the car has not been fixed.Business response

My issue is with my finance manager ************ didnt realized there was an issue until I started going over the numbers at home. I was approved for ****% APR with Hyundai financing but he advised me that with the rebates I would come out on top financially if I went with a higher interest and the rebates at ****%. I told him to do the math and tell me the difference in interest out and he told me it was gonna be pay about $300 less Im interest if I went with the higher interest-rate. After coming home and going over the numbers I realized that I was lied to and misinformed. by going with the higher interest rate I will end up paying over $800 more over the life of the loan( thats with extra payments). I thought this was going to be my new to go dealership but after being screwed like that definitely will not be back. If youre going to go with this dealership make sure you double check triple check everything and dont take their word for it without checking yourself. Its been less the 24 hours Ive been trying to call my salesman and the finance manager but no answerBusiness response

Every customer that finances with ********************** Motor Finance has three program choices: low APR (no rebate), dealer choice (rebate) and standard (rebate). The managers at the desk usually push the deal with the most desirable program loaded in the deal screen. As finance managers we are managed by desk managers, and they set programs. However, we have discretion to change the programs as the customer chooses. The customer can control the program if they wish and change the program when desired. We do not force a specific program upon anyone. We want all of our customers to remain happy throughout their entire ownership process to promote further sales. If we were intentionally pushing programs, it would hinder further sales of family and friends and we would not do this. I wish all of our customers remained happy, but this isn't always the case. Please reach out if we can be of further assistance.Initial Complaint

I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson from Hyundai of Wesley Chapel in February 2022. Two weeks later, my vehicle began shifting hard into gear and made a loud clunking noise. I took it to the service department at Hyundai of Wesley Chapel and they told me I needed a part for the transmission, but that it was on back order. That was on March 8th. To date, I have received several different dates when the part was going to be in, but as of today's date, I'm still driving the loaner they gave me. I'm a snowbird and have notified them with each call that I am leaving in May and when. Over the weekend I received a text that the part was finally in, but the first they can get my vehicle in to repair it is June 6th at 3:30 (ALSO BY TEXT I MIGHT ADD)! I've tried multiple times to call them, but always have to leave a message and nobody calls me back. What a poor business model! Either fix my car or give me my money back! The vehicle has less than 300 miles on it and I haven't had it since March 8th.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/05/03) */ We apologize for all the hassle you have experienced with your new Tucson. I see we diagnosed the issue as a faulty PCM and placed the order for the part on March 8th. The PCM was on backorder with the manufacturer. The part came off of backorder and was delivered to us on Friday April 29th. You did not need to set an appointment to have the part replaced as your vehicle was here as it wasn't drivable. Typically when parts come in it is a few business days to get the vehicle back into the shop for repair. We repaired and delivered the vehicle on May 3rd, 2 business days after the part was received. I can understand the frustration with having a new vehicle that needs a repair that is delayed by parts being on backorder. I apologize for the situation and the frustration. Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/05/06) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Let's be clear. This vehicle has NOT been fixed! It continues to do the same thing as it was doing when I brought it to you on March 8th. To make matters worse, I have REPEATEDLY called and left messages to get the vehicle back in, but have NOT received the courtesy of a return call. And isn't it odd that when I called and asked to speak with anybody in service, nobody, absolutely NOBODY was available. Then I asked to speak to my salesperson and was told he was unavailable. Then I asked to speak to the Sales Manager and he is unavailable. And when I asked to speak with any sales person, I was asked by your rude receptionist..."Do you want to leave a message or not?" When I retorted "Nobody ever calls me back" her response was "Well, I can't help that!" You have the worst customer service model I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED! Again, BUYER BEWARE! This dealership will sell you a car, but cannot or will not service it and forget getting a call back! Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/05/10) */ I am sorry to hear you are having issues with your vehicle again. I did receive a call back slip for you on Monday 5/10/22. I did call you back and you stated that you had an appointment for the vehicle at Hyundai of New Port Richey. Again we apologize for the hassle and the frustration with your vehicle. Consumer Response /* (3000, 11, 2022/05/10) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) You failed to mention that you called back four days, FOUR DAYS after I called and left a message. I finally called another Hyundai dealership, a much friendlier one I might add, that answered the phone the FIRST time I called, who had a service manager available THE FIRST TIME I CALLED, who was willing to get my vehicle in RIGHT AWAY! Had you done your job correctly, your service technician should have taken the car for a test drive, preferably with me, before allowing me to leave with the vehicle in the same condition as when I brought it to you two months earlier. What you call frustration I call downright rude and non-existent customer service. I'm left to wonder if the part was replaced at all.Initial Complaint

We bought a car from this dealership and when we were with the finance manager being, Chris, we specifically told him that my husband could not under any circumstances be on the title and registration. I was transferring a tag from my previous vehicle. They gave me the updated registration when transferring my tag. When I went to renew my tag in the third week of February, the DMV has a completely different tag number for me. I called the DMV and they told me I had to call the car dealership. I called Hyundai and was working with somebody in the title department. We bought this car on December 13th of 2021. After a long drawn-out situation, it is now April 20th 2022 and I still do not have a tag for my vehicle. This is an issue that Hyundai needs to rectify immediately with Capital One Finance. Apparently on January 9th it was realized they were unable to transfer my tag, due to the co-signer has holds on his driver's license. So they issued a new tag but it was sent to an incorrect address that was nowhere on the car loan application. When they went to reissue a tag, it came up there were hold on the co-signers license. I got the response, "I didn't realize there were holds on his license." Well, they were told he cannot go on the title and registration. Um, there's a reason we told them this!!! The resolution I want is to send Capital One the corrected information for the title and registration with only my name on it. Then issue me a new tag and mail it to the correct address. It would be nice to be able to drive my car legally!!Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/04/13) */ First and foremost I want to apologize about the phone issues. We have had many challenges with the phones as of late due to the system not being able to handle the volume of daily calls. We have upgraded the hardware and are working to improve the phone handling & performance internally. I want to thank you for your patience during this repair. When we spoke at the store I expressed my frustration with the extended warranty approval process. We clearly had a internal failure in the engine that would only be corrected by entire engine replacement. As I am sure you remember the countless back and forth with them even after we showed them all the metal shavings in the oil pan. Now we have it approved and the engine delivered. Engine replacement is only done by my A level technicians and in chronological order. Your engine is slated to be installed at the end of this week April 15th, 2022. The extended warranty company provided us with a used engine. Once installed we will test this engine and if all goes well. It will be completed by mid next week April 20th, 2022. Again we appreciate your patience and I apologize for the phone and communication issues.
