I purchased a vehicle from Pohanka Hyundai, Capital - hwalker463
I purchased a vehicle from Pohanka Hyundai, Capital Heights on February 14, 2025, and traded in my 2023 Volkswagen ID.4. The bill of sale they issued has incorrect vehicle information — specifically, the wrong VIN was listed, for a car that is currently owned by my husband and not even in my name. The car I traded in is now registered in VA under the VIN number for the car still in our possession.
This isn't a minor typo. Errors like this can cause real problems with registration, title transfer, insurance, and taxes. I flagged it with the dealership immediately and have been trying to get it corrected for over a month.
Since then:
I've called, emailed, and sent items via UPS a number of times with no resolution.
They have not communicated with me, and I am being told nothing.
No corrected paperwork has been provided.
I have since filed complaints with the MD Investigations Unit, the BBB, the MD Attorney General's Office, the VA Board of Appeals, and Pohanka Hyundai National Consumer Affairs. All of these agencies require at least 30 days to respond. In the meantime, we have a car sitting at home with dead tags that we are paying for and cannot drive, and no one at Pohanka Hyundai is taking responsibility for their own error.
If you're considering buying from Pohanka Hyundai, check every detail on your bill of sale before you leave the lot — and be prepared to fight for basic follow-through if something's wrong. A dealership that can't get a legal document correct, and won't respond when asked to fix it, is not one I'd trust with a purchase this size.
I'll update this review if/when it's resolved, but as of now: proceed with caution.
