Dealership Sales Review

Written by JCH on 07/24/2023

In February, I purchased a new Tucson Hybrid SEL from Safford & Brown in Fairfax, Virginia, and since then I have been fairly satisfied with the vehicle.. When taking delivery of the vehicle, I received a number of documents, but no invoice. When I realized this document was missing, I requested it through Don Barker, the excellent sales associate we had been dealing with, but the financial manager was not responsive to the request and I never got this document. In addition, a few weeks later, I received a letter from Safford Brown telling me that my application for vehicle financing had been rejected, It was all the more surprising as I paid the full price of the vehicle by check. I was puzzled since I maintain an excellent FICO score,so, I asked for the copy of the credit report and the reasons for rejection. I never received this document I am legally entitled to obtain, in spite of multiple requests. I contacted Hyundai Customer Relations service to ask for help, and I even wrote to Mr. Muñoz, the CEO of Hyundai America, but never received an answer. I also wrote to Mr James Gramm, the President of the Safford Automotive group, the owner of the dealership but did not get any answer either. In conclusion, the customer service at Safford Hyundai of Fairfax is very poor and once you have paid for the vehicle, they no longer want to hear from you. Back to my vehicle, I am in general satisfied with it, but I was disappointed to realize that the vehicle is not equipped with the Parking Distance Warning feature, I had assumed I would get this crucial feature on the SEL model. Last month I rented a Tucson Hybrid in France, and although this was a “base” vehicle, it included the feature with warning on the rear and on the front. It was hard to go back to my vehicle lacking this essential feature nowadays, and is available on all competing models.
