I recently visited Hyundai of Columbia, where I was offered a 2026 Hyundai Elantra. I worked with AJ and Marcus, and I want to acknowledge that both gentlemen were very nice and professional throughout offered a 2026 Hyundai Elantra. I worked with AJ and Marcus, and I want to acknowledge that both gentlemen were very nice and professional throughout the process. However, I feel that some important information was left out of the initial discussion regarding my financing. After having the vehicle for approximately one month, I received a call informing me that the bank had rejected the financing agreement and that I would either need to provide a cosigner or return the vehicle. I was very disappointed by this situation because, had I been told from the beginning that a cosigner might be required, I would not have agreed to move forward with the purchase under those circumstances.I also do not understand why I was permitted to leave the dealership with the vehicle if the financing had not been fully approved or finalized. This situation has placed both me and my daughter in a very difficult position and has caused a great deal of unnecessary stress and inconvenience.I understand that financing decisions ultimately involve the lender, but I believe the dealership has a responsibility to clearly communicate the status and conditions of a financing agreement before allowing a customer to take possession of a vehicle. Overall, this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth regarding the way the transaction was handled.AJ and Marcus were kind to me personally, but the circumstances surrounding the financing have made me question the dealership’s business practices and customer communication. I hope Hyundai of Columbia will take my concerns seriously and provide an explanation as to why I was allowed to leave with the vehicle if the financing had not been fully approved, and why I was not informed upfront that a cosigner could potentially be required More
