Grant, we are really sorry that you have had these issues. You contacted us and we simply asked to bring the car back so that we can inspect. From there, we were told that someone have replaced your hybrid battery and car was still having issues? when we asked for a diagnosis and a report or even should have been taken to a Hyundai dealership to inspect? non of that was there. We can help based on us seeing the vehicle and looking at facts, but frankly not sure what happened and who worked on your vehicle? hybrid battery was test good before you left and did not go bad and should not have been replaced and apparently replacing it did not help.

UPDATE: The hybrid battery actually had nothing to do with the defects I am experiencing, so let's rule that out. The older battery was actually from the previous generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrids (2011-2013) and was the wrong part number, that's why I replaced it aside from the main issue at hand. I discovered that when I noticed the air vent on the battery was facing the wrong direction. Nevertheless, the car has been in and out of the Hyundai dealership 3 times since I've taken it to them in late July. They managed to replicate the issue, but because it's intermittent they have not been able to accurately diagnose the issue because no codes appear. THEY DID however discover that the vehicle was in an accident, which was not disclosed to me upon the day of purchase and did not appear on the CARFAX report. The code that appeared was an airbag code that said the airbags had been deployed and that the historical code is stored in the car's computer. They pulled up the VIN number and noted that a CLASS-II vehicle repair had been done on the vehicle after it was bought back from Hyundai and then most likely sold to an auction. This vehicle has been a nightmare for me and there still isn't a remedy for the situation as it is now in the shop again for an even more thorough diagnosis that continues to burn a hole in my pocket. I've taken up this dilemma with Hyundai Corporate and am praying for a buyback because either that or selling the vehicle will be my only 2 options. I owe all of this to you, Midwest, for making a worst-case scenario a reality for a trusting customer.

When asked about this vehicle I was never contacted back even after a second attempt. More

Joshua, We are so sorry that we really did not want your trade. Based on extreme rust situation, Turbo not operational and being a diesel 6.4L engine which was the worst engine ever made. Vehicle took 2 min plus to accelerate to normal 40/50 miles speed, and all of that was not disclosed! Again, we offered you to take the trade out of the deal as I personally told you we are not interested, but still you insisted and we gave you a number and tried for you. we gave you more that it is worth to us and you accepted! Just for you to understand, we are in business to make money and we are a full blown full service center 300-400 cars employing 30-40 people with high overhead and you like hundreds of others drive here for 1-5hr+ for our best value and selection. GET REAL, business not PERSONAL…

April, we are so sorry about you did not think that car was no safe just because the brakes were rusty. lets chare NOWADAYS reality: car supply short (all over the news) every lot is empty and we have 300+ and we move100-200 units monthly: our service is booked up to 2 months and we are working double shifts but cant keep especially with LABOR SHORTAGES (all over the news). we are prioritizing repair items especially major ones, that is why minor brakes issues are put on a back burner but in return our BIGGEST POINT is that we offer extremely competitive values that will overcome and compensate for minor issues. In short, we are doing our best but the crazy market pricing and labor shortages are just not making the perfect car story for the best value very achievable. FYI, every car is inspected and major issues as well as minor issues are all disclosed. Search the market for yourself and keep in mind you cant expect a perfect new car (especially nowadays) for a bargain price! brakes are $300 but your are saving close to $2000

Midwest Auto Store responded

Linda, I am sorry that our pricing has changed. We are a bottom line store that move hundreds of cars monthly and if additional service items become an issue, typically we have to decide if we can absorb in current price or need to change. In this situation, we had to do additional service items that were not present when car arrived and priced and we offered the lower price option without repairs or updated price with repairs. Th price change still heavily discounted and reflect such repairs at half to what you expect to pay

Danielle, we are sorry that you think we are a joke. You purchased the 15 years old /over 100K miles car AS-IS and you inspected the car for 3-4 hours. Couple of days after the purchase, you had a major oil leak from oil filter housing as well as O2 sensor. We got you in and took care of such issues no questions asked! Our goodwill covered the issues on 15 years old vehicle/over 100K, but you were so angry with us and instead of appreciating the effort, you were so mad at every person who tried to help. We cant control the world or future car breakdown, but we can try to make an effort and maintain a respectful relationship with our customers. WE DONT BELIEVE THAT IS A JOKE

We understand the frustration, but please understand when a vehicle is priced accordingly and pictures are showing issues (unfortunately, most consumers don't often pay attentions to all details displayed), we have no room to negotiate. The vehicle that you looked at would normally sell for 12K and we priced 2K due to headliner sagging (shown in pictures). This market is so crazy high and cars are short and we really have no margins especially in such cars
