Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating situations like this can be, especially when it involves warranty coverage. We want to clarify that while we are an authorized dealership, and like with most consumer products, all warranty approvals and coverage decisions are ultimately determined by the OEM (original equipment manufacturer)—not by the dealer. We perform warranty repairs on the manufacturer’s behalf, but we must follow their guidelines regarding what is and is not covered. In cases where a concern is linked to equipment that was installed outside of the vehicle’s original factory build, and especially if involving non-OEM components, the OEM typically does not extend warranty coverage for related issues—even if that equipment was installed by another authorized dealership. Because of this, any warranty consideration for those components or their impact would need to be addressed directly with the selling or installing dealership. Regarding the diagnostic charge, this is applied when the manufacturer determines that a repair or concern falls outside of warranty coverage. This is also disclosed prior to the start of the diagnostic process. We understand that this can be disappointing, and we’re always happy to review documentation with you and help point you in the right direction for resolution. Kohl Young, Service Director, kohly@bigstarhyundai.com

The 5-Year / 60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty reads that it covers repair or replacement of any component manufactured or originally installed by Hyundai that is defective in material or factory workmanship, under normal use and maintenance. When no non-Hyundai equipment has been installed after the vehicle has been purchased, there is no reason for a new owner to anticipate lack of warranty coverage for any dealer installed equipment, because Hyundai dealers are Hyundai agents.

We appreciate the additional information you provided regarding the original installation of the components by Hyundai. It is important to note that final warranty coverage determinations are made by the manufacturer rather than the individual dealership. We understand this distinction can be frustrating, and we would like to ensure your concerns are addressed thoroughly. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact our service director directly as he would be happy to assist you.

Mr. Jones was easy to work with. I enjoyed the information that he gave us without the pressure of purchasing the vehicle. He helped us by checking on a frequently and give us the information as we ask for. I have enjoyed enjoying the car since we have purchased it and would recommend it to anyone else.
