I was surprised and annoyed when a service "consultant"
I was surprised and annoyed when a service "consultant" confronted me on what I had provided in a (supposedly anonymous) satisfaction survey. Even though this is by far the closest Hyundai dealership, I will not be returning and am reaching out to have my customer data deleted at this location, if that is possible.

If you enjoy **false promises, gaslighting sales reps,
If you enjoy **false promises, gaslighting sales reps, and finance managers who think professionalism is optional**, Pearson Hyundai is your place! We were lured in with a **\$2,500 rebate**—but only *if* we financed through Hyundai. Even though we had our own bank financing lined up, we were told, *"Oh no, you’ll get a rebate by mail!"* So we bit. Come to find out weeks later? That rebate **never existed**. Apparently, it was “already worked into the deal”—like magic! 🪄 (Explain how a future-based rebate gets baked into a past deal? I’ll wait.) And don’t worry, it gets better. When my daughter—who has a jaw-dropping 834 FICO score—followed up, the sales rep **suddenly got amnesia** and denied ever saying it. I guess good credit from a young Black woman short-circuited the whole department. The finance manager was no better: rude, dismissive, and told her to leave instead of answering questions. Then the cherry on top? My daughter overhears the staff **mocking her on her way out**. 🚩 Deceptive. 🚩 Disrespectful. 🚩 Possibly discriminatory. 🚩 Definitely disgusting. If you value honesty, dignity, and basic customer service, **run—don’t rebate—away from this place.** I’ve got receipts and recordings, and complaints are already filed with the DMV and Attorney General. Pearson Hyundai, this isn’t over.

Brought a 2024 Santa Fe Caligraphy September 1st and reported to them the air bag plug in back was loose. They said they ordered it and it’s been almost two months and it still hasn’t been fixed. The receptionist in the service area is rude and not helpful at all. Our service guy is always out and never returns calls. I should of stayed with Gateway Hyundai.

I purchased a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe LTD.
I purchased a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe LTD. on June 30. It was the exact vehicle I wanted. I was over the moon until the end of August when I noticed a clicking sound in the left front end. I took it to Pearson for recalls and brought this to their attention but they blew me off. One week later I took it back and they told me I needed a new transmission. Mind you I have only 2600 miles on my car and drove it for 2 months! At this point I'm trying to keep in touch with the service writer and manager but they have ghosted me. Zero communication from Pearson! They did give me a vehicle to drive because they wouldn't cover the cost of a rental that was comparable to my car. I do appreciate that but for heaven's sake, keep the communication open!! I will absolutely never return to Pearson after this ordeal is over! I have no confidence whatsoever in this dealership or brand anymore

I have purchased a few cars over the years from Pearson
I have purchased a few cars over the years from Pearson Hyundai, the last being a used Genesis, and the sales staff are knowledgeable and patient. In particular, Justin (sales rep) and Angela (finance) were awesome.

They've had my Santa Fe for exactly 7 days, a week, and still haven't put it on the diagnostic machine after they said they would on the first day. Unacceptable and they definitely have no customer service! I will never take my SUV back. I'll pay Joe shmo to fix my car over them. How are y'all still in business? Next, to BBB I go.

We're so sorry for any delays in your service. We try to provide accurate wait-time estimates, and we're so sorry that it is taking longer than we anticipated. We want you to know we hear your frustrations, and we're doing our best to provide updates as they become available. Sincerely, Melissa Best, Service Manager, MELISSABEST@pearsonhyundai.com
Contacted about paint defect was told they knew they had
Contacted about paint defect was told they knew they had a problem with the paint and would try to push claim thru as I am moving out of town. Almost 2 months later told they are only honoring those 3 yr or 36000 miles. The car has 65000 miles and the paint is falling off in huge pieces. Would never buy another hyundai as long as I live. They don't stand behind their vehicles. I called and left messages with the service department over the past 2 weeks and just found out they can't do anything to help. Totally worthless. Reached out to Corp and sent pics.

Hyundai has obfuscated for 9 months to avoid replacing a
Hyundai has obfuscated for 9 months to avoid replacing a RECALLED 2015 Santa Fe engine. Pearson aided and abetted this shameful corporate behavior. My family member’s car has now been in the driveway for 9 months as it can’t be driven due to risk of fire (which Hyundai seems to not care an iota about).

We truly empathize with your frustration, however our earliest email regarding these concerns are from November 27th of 23. It appears we asked for records needed for proof of proper maintenance starting in March – in order to get repair authorization through HMA warranty – and it wasn’t provided until Early December. Pearson as a franchise doesn’t get to make the defining decision on repairs unfortunately – and due to lack of records provided at that time– the claim was denied by HMA corporate. However, we are trying to assist you now that records have been submitted to us – and we hope the outcome will come out for you favorably. Sincerely, Melissa Best, Service Manager, MELISSABEST@pearsonhyundai.com
It is galling you are trying to use a Nov. 26th email as a starting point for communication. The service advisor, Jason, CHOSE to ignore multiple voicemails to him in late summer-early fall. The service manager, Melissa, CHOSE to ignore multiple voicemails to her in September-October. The service manager, Melissa, CHOSE to ignore the letter mailed to her Oct. 9th, the packet of which included additional service documents from outside of Hyundai. Your representation that “it appears we asked for records needed for proof of proper maintenance starting in March” is not acceptable. According to the service advisor back in March, the records needed were any records OUTSIDE of Hyundai dealerships. AND those were first sent to Melissa in October, not December. (Having been sent to Hyundai case management in August). It is fact that Hyundai corporate wasted our time from spring through summer. But it is also fact that Pearson refused to engage until late November, when Katrina (the case manager) finally got through to Melissa. And then, the delays in action continued, through December and January, interestingly until I posted on social media platforms on Jan. 20th. And now you are saying Pearson is powerless with respect to Hyundai corporate. Is that what you want Pearson customers to understand when they buy a car from you???
