  On Saturday, June 22, 2024, Millennium Hyundai refused to honor a price on its own website for an oil change. The coupon (attached here) clearly said that a conventional oil change cost $39.95. This coupon is still showing on the dealer's website right now. They charged me $89 and insisted that the price on their own website was wrong. When I went to pay, the person at the desk, **************** (email address: ****************** asked me to send him a screenshot of the coupon, which I did, and he promised me that he would contact me on Monday morning (June 24th) and offer me a refund for the excess $50 above the advertised price that I should not have had to pay. I have not heard from him, despite following up twice by email and once by phone. I believe this is fraud perpetrated by Millennium Hyundai. They do not honor service prices listed on their own website, then they lie to customers about refunds in order to induce them to pay the higher amounts. I believe this behavior by Millennium Hyundai was disgusting and fraudulent. Please take whatever steps are necessary to rectify this. Thank you very much.

  I went to Buy a car on July 07/20/2022 and put down the deposit of $500 for White Hyundai Palisade but after 2 months of waiting they were keep delaying and wanted to charge $3500 Mark up price. So i changed my mind and requested refund, they said it will be posted within 5 business days but did not happen. I went back to the dealership in November ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************* 5 days but refund never came. So i went back in Feb 2023 to find out what happened. Sales Representative name *************************** said it was processed in December 2023 but did not go through because they could only process to the expired card and since they do not have any option. The only option for me to get refund is to Dispute with the bank and they will let it through from the dealership. So i disputed $500 on March 01-2023. Bank temporarily credited $500 on April-04-2023 and asked for explanation which i gave on April-16-2023 but a week later on April 21-2023 bank reversed the $500 and charged me $15 fee because the dealership did not let the dispute go through. I went back to Dealership in June 2023 and asked why this happened. *************************** said he will provide me a certified check in 5 business days and when it is ready he will give me call but i never received the call. Went back to the dealership in July 2023 and August 2023. I was told ****** is off and will give me a call when back to work but i never received any call from anyone to resolve this matter.

  Good afternoon. I'm *********************, the General Manager at Millennium Hyundai. I want to  apologize for the delay in servicing your vehicle and the lack of communication you've experienced. I understand your frustration.  This situation is below our standard of customer care.
  Since your vehicle arrived at our facility on February 27, 2024, we have encountered significant challenges with your third-party warranty provider. They have repeatedly denied your claim, complicating our ability to proceed with repairs. We've completed all preliminary tasks required by them and continue to actively push for approval.
  On April 9, 2024, we escalated the issue by contacting a manager at the warranty company. Following their instruction. They are now asking us to seek a goodwill intervention from Hyundai ************* (unprecedented request). We are submitting the request now and hope that this will expedite the approval process.
  I encourage you to contact the warranty provider as well. Pressure from both sides can often prompt quicker resolution. Please let them know the impact this delay is having on your daily life.
  Your experience matters greatly to us, and we are dedicated to resolving this matter swiftly. For any further questions, you can reach me directly via email at ********************* or at ************.
  Thank you for your patience and understanding.
  Warm regards,
  *********************

  I am writing to lodge an urgent complaint against Millennium Hyundai for their inadequate service and disregard for my well-being. On July 19, 2023, my car stalled on a parkway and had to be towed to Millennium Hyundai for repair. This incident comes after a previous recall service in March, where the car was also subjected to a similar stall, resulting in a ten-day repair process, which was diagnosed as a recall issue and was covered by Hyundai.Despite having my car back and "fixed" in April, my car has once again stalled, and it has been a distressing 12 days, with no diagnosis provided by Millennium Hyundai. This has left me without transportation, and as a 60-year-old individual with health issues and living alone, I have no direct assistance to rely on. In my desperation, I escalated the matter to the consumer services department, only to find out that the service people are not returning any calls from the Hyundai National Consumer Affairs case manager.Given my circumstances, I am in dire need of my car being diagnosed immediately so that I can secure a loaner or rent a vehicle. Regrettably, Hyundai's policy for covering a rental vehicle only applies if the repair is due to something under warranty. The service person at Millennium Hyundai has hinted that the issue will probably be covered by the warranty, just like the first time it occurred. However, they are reluctant to provide an official diagnosis in writing until they have examined the car, which was not even looked at yet.I must stress that I cannot afford to wait any longer for a diagnosis and subsequent repair. As the situation stands, I would have to borrow money to rent a car, with the hope of being reimbursed later, which is not a viable option for **** am formally requesting that Millennium Hyundai expeditiously diagnose the car's issue, without further delay.Thank you for your attention to this complaint.

  Good afternoon.. I apologize for the late reply.  ************** is currently in a loaner car that we provided at the beginning of the month. It appears that the two situations described in the complaint are not related.  They are two different issues.  We are working with Hyundai Tech support to figure out how to proceed.  We will have an answer by the end of this week and depending on the instructions for Tech Support we hope to have the car complete no later thank next week

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  1 -  When I wrote this complain, I had no loaner and no chance of getting one in the near future, even though I told them I have health issues. The loaner car was given only after I put an enormous pressure on them. Then the case manager closed the case 3 days later with the result of "we do not know what is going on, it's with the engineering team and they will get back to you". They NEVER informed me of anything, until now.

  2 - I still did not hear from them, even though I am calling, sometimes talking to the manager but most of the time put on hold for 15 minutes or more and still no answer.

  3 - I do not see how these are 2 different issues. My health and the fact that it was an engine problem and it would take time, according to them, to even look at it,  are the reason i needed the loaner asap.

  4 - Having said that, I believe it when I see it. I am also assuming that I will have use of the loaner until I can get my car back.

  5 - I am not sure how a problem that was so hard to figure out and took so long (as of now, 6 weeks and going) can be fixed in 1 week, but I hope they are right.

  6 -I will not close this case until the work is done and I have my car back, functioning well, with a clear diagnostic of what was the problem and what was fixed, so I can be confident that it will not happen again.

  Thanks

  Today I write because I have not had my car for over 5 months now. even though I was patient with them while fixing my car. they have damaged my car in service and won't resolve my issue. the manager is hard to reach and does not respond or call back. my car has been fixed and sitting in service with body damage for almost 2 weeks now. I believe this issue should have been dealt with the same day and I should have my car back by now but they are delaying everything and avoiding me. I called **** the manager on the 16th of November regarding this issue. he finally responds on the 23rd and says he will contact me on the 25th. no reply till now and it's December first.

If the towing company done the damage I would certainly complain to them not you... My second issue is the car is now leaking after less than 50 miles of driving. Your telling me the car was at your facility for a whole month after it was fixed with a full coolant tank. But when I get home its now all on my driveway. This is by far the worst dealership I've ever had to deal with.

  Good morning. One of the reasons for the original miscommunication was that the car was under a different name.   The warranty company pointed out that the car had a dealers plate on and not currently registered to a customer.  Warranty companies do not allow dealers to recondition cars using the warranty provided to a retail customers.  *************************** and myself have reached out to ************** many times but have not been able to get a hold of him.  *******************, spoke with him but he did not want to explain why there was a dealers plate on the car and ended up hanging up on him. The car was towed in with damage on it.  It is clearly visible on the tow truck.  We fixed some of the damaged as a good will gesture but we feel that this BBB complaint was not filed in good faith and should be closed.  

  If I can be of further assistance feel free to call me at ************

  I write today to ask for your assistance and advocacy on a customer service issue. I am a current service customer at Millenium **********************. My car has been in the service department since August 3rd. It is a 2017 Tucson with ****** miles that I brought in to clear a couple of simple recall notices. I brought my car in, not for repair work (it was running beautifully), but for recall work Hyundai recommended (warranty items). I did this three weeks before a cross country move, in early August 2022. One of the recalls required that the engine be opened and inspected. When the car was returned to me on August 4th, it was running roughly and was not responsive. The service department took it back that same day and has been trying to repair it for the last seven weeks. During that time, it has been difficult to ascertain what progress has been made on diagnosing and repairing what happened to the engine when the team opened it to inspect. To be clear, my auto was running fine when I brought it to the service department. In the seven weeks that my car has been in service, we are no closer to a repair, or a diagnosis, than we were on August 4th. To add to the challenge of customer care continuity, the service manager has been replaced twice. I feel the continuity of effort in repairing and returning my car slipping away.I have since re-located across the country to ******** on the promise that Hyundai would reimburse me for the rental (loaner) car I am currently driving, and would reunite me with my car once the repairs are complete.As we approach 8 weeks of diagnosis, the scrambling of leadership within the service department, and the lack of concerted effort in repairing my car, I find myself asking what to do next. I have tried being cooperative and patient, but phone calls are routinely dodged and not returned, updates on progress are not provided when requested. Can you help with this business that is not living up to ************* BBB standard. Very frustrating.

  Millennium Hyundai (the "Dealership") has received ************************ (the "Consumer") complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau regarding the completion of service repairs for his vehicle.
  
  We would like to apologize to the Consumer for the delay and the further delays to complete the repairs to the vehicle. The majority of this wait has been due to the fact the Dealership has been waiting for the Manufacturer approval to repair to the Consumers vehicle. Any repair performed under the Manufacturer Warranty or a ******************** Campaign must be approved by the Manufacturer.The Dealership cannot control the time period for approval process of the Manufacturer. The Dealership will submit the claim for repairs to the Manufacturer and then sometime later will receive a response of approval -or- denial.If the Manufacturer denies a claim, a request further information regarding the vehicle is made to the Dealership.
  
  Currently there is no change in the status of the Consumers claim. This morning, the Dealership had sent another request to the Manufacturer regarding the claim for the Consumers vehicle however a response has not been received as of the writing of this response.
  
  Once the Dealership receives information regarding the status of the Consumers claim for repairs, the Dealership will inform the Consumer. Once more, the Dealership apologize for the further delays.
  
  Respectfully,

  Service has been holding my car since 8/10/22. Needs a new engine, fully covered under recall and warranty. After many failed attempts on getting an update I resorted to corporate. They failed to send further diagnostics requested by warranty company and file was closed. Nobody responds to calls or emails to me OR CORPORATE. Case escalated to Hyundai National Consumer Affairs, whom has also been ignored. Theyre holding my car and doing absolutely nothing despite promises of pulling it in to send diagnostics. 6.5 weeks and still no idea when I will get my car back or who they will respond to at this point. Phones are rarely answered anymore! Many attempts have been made to reach out and many promises from service center have been broken. I need my vehicle back as I am paying for something I havent seen in nearly two months!

  09/28/2022

  Good afternoon.  I apologize for the inconvenience we may have caused.  Due to the age and mileage of the car and the parts that it needs the warranty would not cover the repair.  As a gesture of good will, I will place a $150 service credit on the customer's account that can be used for the repair on this car.  The car will be completed by Thursday of this week.  We will need to road test the car so it will probably be ready in the afternoon.  The total cost of the repair after discounts is $267.00 plus taxes.  Again, the service credit can be used for this repair. 

  thank you

  I brought my car to Hyundai service center of ********* *** on August 24,th to be serviced for recalls and technically issues .while my car was in the care of Hyundai service center I specifically asked for my vehicle not to be parked on the main road.I called to check on the status of my car daily to see when my car was gonna be serviced. I was notified that ******** was my service representative and when we spoke he notified me that my car was in good hands and that I shouldn't worry about my car because it was brought in every night.On September 2nd at 12am I went by the dealership to see if what I have been told was correct infact my car was still sitting on the streets daily.on September 19th at 10:19am I was given a call by ************* Hyundai service center telling me that my car was involved in a collision while in their care because my car was still parked on the streets.I was told that I could be given pictures over the phone that's when I decided it would be best to see in person when I arrived my car was parked on Hyundai's premises.I am aware that accidents do happen but it feel that Hyundai service center wants no responsibility in what has occurred. I would like that this situation never happen again to anyone and that the service center take responsibility for their actions .I was not given a loaner car to accommodate my well being I kept being lied to over and over again by ******** telling me they don't have any loaner vehicle's to telling me they was short staff and then they got a new manager the list went on from August 24 until this present day what did I have to do with that is what I was thinking .In the near future I will not do business with this company I am aware that my car is manufactured with this company but this has been the worst experience I have ever been through I'm emotionally stressed and have been since September 2nd.My name is *************************** and I would like to know what actions can be taken.

  Good afternoon...  I apologize for any confusion this is causing.  The car was involved in a collision with another customer's car.  We were able to assist in getting the customers to exchange insurance information.  For the inconvenience, we agreed to extend a 20% discount on the $1023.00 repair.  In addition, we offered a $200 service credit here at Millennium Honda.  Although, we go through great lengths to safeguard every one of our customers' cars accidents do happen.  

  We have been completely transparent, helpful and understanding.  Which is the reason why we offered the $223 off the invoice and the additional $200 in service credit.  This credit is given as a gesture of good will for a great customer in an effort to savage the relationship.  I can be reached via email at ********************* or by phone at ************.  I will make sure to offer excellent service going forward.  Feel free to contact me with any concern
