This wasthe absolute worst experience I have ever had buying a car. I have purchased over 20 cars....and this was the worst. George Best-salesman kept saying "bumper to bumper"--LIE. Beware...go anywhere else. ANYWHERE. Headlight showed moisture inside within the first week of ownership. Service asked us to bring it in and refused to believe there was a moisture issue, so we took pictures. Then the service department said "we'll pay 1/2". What a great favor when it should have been fixed for FREE because of the "BUMPER to BUMPER 30 day warranty". LIES....go elsewhere. Go to Chesterfield Auto Parts, at least there no one lies.....you know you are buying a junked car.
This is the worst experience EVER. I thought the headlight issue was unprofessional. Well. It became worse.
We took the van back reporting some bouncing in the rear ....mechanic supposedly drove it and said that there was nothing wrong with it. We took it to our Firestone, where I have known the manager for over 20 years-never steered me wrong. (Take a lesson Pearson Hyundai.). They reported in a physical estimate that one of the REAR AXLE BEAMS was bent. Because the axle beam was so bent, the shocks went bad, and the two rear tires went bad.
PEARSON HYUNDAI SOLD AN UNSAFE VEHICLE and SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.
So, after visiting Firestone, we took the physical estimate back to Pearson, where we were told "well, we're going to have to check with sales to see what they WANT to do". WANT to do????? They sold an unsafe car that could have killed numerous people on the highway. WANT to do??? Shameful.
They agreed to fix the beam, and again they were asked about the shocks and tires, "well, we'll have to see"........
So. That was MAY 22. After numerous times of hearing "it will be done Wednesday, Thursday, Monday, Tuesday," "we ordered the wrong part," being put on hold, not called back, we went there today JUNE 14 (after having called twice in the morning with no answer). Brian Parker-service manager-miraculously said it was finished. TWENTY-THREE days...TWENTY-THREE days it was there.
After leaving Pearson Hyundai, we immediately dropped it off at our Firestone to see if the axle beam and shocks were replaced as we were told they were. The two tires had been replaced--but you can visibly see that.
I will update soon to report if the IMPORTANT PARTS--like SAFETY PARTS
were replaced.
They did replace the axle beam and shocks.
Lesson learned. Before buying anything anywhere, I will take it to a trustworthy mechanic before I sign any papers.
I hope that the workers at Pearson Hyundai buy a safer car than we were sold. read more
