I am currently going through a very unpleasant and exhausting situation with the Service Department at the Hyundai dealership and I feel completely ignored, misled, and taken advantage of.
This issue has been ongoing for over three months, and despite countless calls, messages, and visits, no one has provided a real solution. The Service Director stopped replying to me completely two months ago, and Customer Service has transferred me to multiple people who did absolutely nothing except repeat that "Hyundai hasn't responded." I was even told by one agent today that he would no longer help me and that I needed to contact the General Manager, but no one answers the phone.
Here is what happened:
On November 12, 2025, I went in for a regular oil and filter change. The week before, a tire pressure warning light had appeared. Jesse, the advisor handling my case, told me to return on November 19, 2025 to check the alert and replace my brakes and rotors, which I paid for.
When I arrived, I told Jesse that I had replaced my tires about one or two months earlier. He told me the tire shop had probably broken the sensor and that if so, they would give me documentation to file a claim. I waited five hours at the dealership. During that time, Jesse told me the mechanic had removed all four tires to check the sensors. Later, he told me the sensor was not broken, but malfunctioning due to a factory defect, and that I did NOT need to contact the tire shop because it was not their fault.
I returned again on December 3, 2025 (my third visit for the same issue). I waited two and a half hours. Jesse told me the faulty sensor was replaced and programmed correctly and that I should have no more problems.
One day later, the warning light came back on.
I messaged Jesse immediately. He told me he would find me a loaner vehicle so they could keep my car. On December 8, Hyundai provided a loaner. I asked Jesse if the lemon law applied, and he dismissed it, saying it was "just a sensor issue."
Then on December 11, 2025, Jesse suddenly told me that the tire shop had broken the sensor and that I now had to pay $852.84 for a new one -- completely contradicting what he told me previously. When I questioned this, he admitted he had assumed the mechanic removed all four tires when they actually did not, and also admitted the replacement sensor had not been programmed correctly the second time.
At this point, I had:
* Taken time off work multiple times
* Spent money on gas
* Paid for repairs that did not fix the issue
* Been misinformed repeatedly
* Been left without my vehicle
I asked to speak to a manager. Jesse sent me a copy-and-paste message from the Service Director stating he wasn't working that day but would try to get paperwork for the tire shop -- which never happened. I then reached out to Justin (Service Director), who has only gone back and forth with excuses, calling this a "misunderstanding" when it is not, it is misinformation and negligence.
I returned the loaner on December 16, 2025, and my car is still not fixed.
Let me be very clear:
1. I was told the sensor was NOT broken and that the tire shop was NOT responsible.
2. I was told all four tires were removed when they were not.
3. I was told the sensor was replaced and programmed correctly -- and it was not.
Because of these errors and misrepresentations, this issue could have been resolved a month ago, but instead I am now being asked to pay $852.84, which I absolutely refuse to do.
As a woman, I truly feel I am being taken advantage of. The way I have been spoken to, dismissed, and misled makes me feel like they assumed I wouldn't question anything -- and that is unacceptable.
This has been one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. I feel disrespected, ignored, and financially harmed by this dealership's actions. I strongly warn anyone, especially women, to be extremely cautious when dealing with this service department.
I am still waiting for a real solution. read more
