Dickson City Hyundai

Talk about a headache of a car to own, and horrible service from the dealer. We bought the car in 2003 with 14,000 miles on it. It was an OK car for about a year, aside from horrible gas mileage for it service from the dealer. We bought the car in 2003 with 14,000 miles on it. It was an OK car for about a year, aside from horrible gas mileage for its class. The it developed a hesitation problem upon starting. We had it back and forth from the Hyundai dealer (Dickson City Hyundai near Scranton, PA - beware of them and any dealership owned by the Rosado Group), and they claimed they could find no problem....yet the problem continued. Finally, last year, it got to a point where the check engine light was coming on, and the trans put itself in fail-safe mode, locking into 2nd gear. Finally, they diagnosed the problem as a faulty sensor and connection in the trans, but since were were about THREE WEEKS past the warranty expiration (Hyundai's 10 year warranty is non-transferrable, used Hyundais get the remainder of 5 year/60,000 miles) they would not cover it. We even took the complaint to Hyundai's main offices, which fell on deaf ears, where we were told to write a letter, which I did, and received no response. They claimed that there is no proof that the current problem had anything to do with the previous hesitation problem. Well, lo and behold, the hesitation problem stopped after the fix. Well, about a month ago, the hesitation problem resurfaced, and then the check engine light started coming on again, and the trans would shift hard intermittently. I took it to a trans shop to have a fluid/filter change (the warranty is up, so i wasn't dealing with the inept Dickson City Hyundai service department and getting ripped off), and they informed me that there was a serious problem with the trans, as evidenced by large metal shards in an around the filter. I told them not to bother trying to fix the problem, since I am not dumping $1,200-$1,500 into a car thats probably only worth $3,000-$3,500 (on a 2001 with only 46,000 miles, holy low-resale-value, Batman!). We decided to ditch it.... I'll be happy just to be rid of it. More

I bought a Ford Focus used from this dealership. I wondered what the odd black thing in the back seat was when I got home, turned out to be the radio antena they never fixed. I had to fight with them wondered what the odd black thing in the back seat was when I got home, turned out to be the radio antena they never fixed. I had to fight with them to fix that and also fix the breaks that didn't work when I was coming down a hill w/ my son in the car. It took 3 weeks for them to decide they will replace both. The sticker also said it had more functions (like cruise control) that it doesn't have and did not come with an owners manuel. They are also in the process of screwing up my friends purchase now, but they are getting a lawyer involved. I do NOT recomend this dealer! More

I trusted the salesman when he told me my credit score was only 650, thus best financing they could secure for me was 9/49% --- salesman did not disclose that when I asked to purchase Hyundai's extended w was only 650, thus best financing they could secure for me was 9/49% --- salesman did not disclose that when I asked to purchase Hyundai's extended warranty, that he in fact sold me a warranty with a universal underwriters group. Salesman led me to believe Hyundai was doubling the power train warranty, when in fact it was Dickson City Hyundai Dealership --- not the manufacturer. After I foolishly proceeded with the contract to purchase a 2007 Hyundai Sonata -- with what I thought to be the manufacturer's extended warranty --- with financing interest high because of my credit score, I did not begin to look further into the dealership until my extended warranty came from Universal Underwriters ----------- not the car manufacturer, as I was led to believe I purchased ---- I then paid to get my credit report and score, to find my score was 791 --- not 650. therefore I would have qualified for Hyundai's national promotion financing rate insentive of 4.75% -- quite a difference from what the dealership led me to believe was the best financing they could find for my credit score and monthly payment limit. The Hyundai rate of 4.75% for 72 months would have been less than the 9.49% rate at 84 months. During negotiations, I never saw or spoke to anyone other than the salesman -- therefore, when the finance person responded to my concerns, he was able to say he didn't know who would have told me these things ---- Mr. Gallagher is adament he secured the best financing he could with my monthly payment limit even though Hyundai's financing would have been not only half the interest, but would have been less monthly payments and a 12 month shorter term. Also, somehow the contract when paid in full to the financing company will have me paying over $30,000 for a $20,000 loan???? Also, in response to my request that I be given a Hyundai manufacturer's extended warranty as I requested versus this universal underwriters, Mr. Gallagher responded they NEVER SELL HYUNDAI's EXTENDED WARRANTIES. He still hasn't answered why the salesman didn't explain this to me, as I wouldn't have purchased the warranty if it wasn't a warranty through Hyundai. He still hasn't answered me about the salesman telling me my credit score was 650 when in fact it was 791. He still hasn't answered me why since my credit score was 791, did he not apply for my credit through Hyundai Financing, so the national promotion interest rate of 4.75% could have applied. He only responded he gave me a "great deal". This dealership is one in a group of auto dealerships -- the Rosado Group. The NE PA Better Business Bureau does not have this dealership in good standing. Complaints unanswered by the dealership have a familiar ring to my situation. To me, Dickson City Hyundai uses high pressure salesmen, who do not disclose the complete truth, who led me to believe I was getting this once in a life time deal as it was end of year clearance and they wanted as many cars off the lot as possible --------------- shame on me for trusting this dishonest dealership.

this dealership has offred no help what so ever. My daughter and son in law purchased a tiburon 2005 and had a clutch failure in 11.000 miles 14 months. This put the car out of its 12/12 warranty. They daughter and son in law purchased a tiburon 2005 and had a clutch failure in 11.000 miles 14 months. This put the car out of its 12/12 warranty. They claimed to have asked the rep for assistence and he said no. They at first wanted $800 to repair the car. then called and said they found a bad flywheel and all will be covered until they went to pick up the car then the dealer wanted over $800. after calling hyundai of america to complain that if the dealer stated the flywheel was the failing part then any damage that occured as a result of that failure should also be covered.Chritina at hyundia customer service did not have an answer to this question and called the dealer. She talked to nick who told her that the flywheel would not be turned into warranty but be a goodwill gesture from the dealer.this was the reason the clutch parts would not be covered. After a few weeks i got a hold of the warranty print out from hyundai warranty and there was the flywheel covered.Icalled hyundai to explain this warranty fraudand was told they didi not have any mechanical knowledge.Ialso learned that the dealer also claimed 5.0 hrs of labor to the warranty to replace the flywheel. they also charged me $288 to replace the clutch. The clutch has to be removed to replace the flywheel therefore the dealer charged the warranty and me to perform the same job. This dealer is a complete froud they steal from hyundai and fromt there customers. If this letter means anything i would like a refund of the $588 dollars i was ripped off you can e-mail me at loan33@aol.com More
