I had a 2022 Santa Fe that had 40,000 miles on it when I had to have it towed in because two fuel injectors failed. I had an extra car at that time so I left it at the dealership for replacement and didn’t had to have it towed in because two fuel injectors failed. I had an extra car at that time so I left it at the dealership for replacement and didn’t worry about the time needed for repair. Later when it had 48,000 miles on it I had to have it towed because the other two fuel injectors failed. This time I didn’t have a car to drive while it was fixed. I was told by my service advisor that because it was in warranty Lithia would pay for a rental car as they did not have any loaner cars available. Well it took two weeks to replace all 4 of the fuel injectors. My rental bill was $900. I submitted my request for reimbursement and was told that it would be reviewed and I would hear back it they decided to reimburse me. I received emails with questions regarding my submission. The last one want proof that I paid the dealership for the repairs. I sent in the receipt where it was 0 because it was covered under warranty. There is no cancelled check or other proof that I paid 0. Obviously the local sales rep does not know that his company does not readily refund customer for rental cost even if the problem is within warranty. I can’t believe that this is how a company treats its customers. They should have replaced all 4 of the fuel injectors the first time and they certainly should reimburse for the rental costs when they keep your only car for two weeks to replace parts that failed before the warranty expires. I also purchased and extended warranty beyond the regular 60,000 miles. I have not heard back from the company regarding reimbursement yet (over two months) and I doubt that I will receive anything from them. I have since sold my Santa Fe and would never buy one again nor encourage anyone else from buying one. I don’t blame the local service rep but I do feel the company is not supportive of those who buy their vehicles. More

They were friendly and courteous. They kept the appointment time, worked quickly even though I was there for a factory recall and would not be paying. They kept the appointment time, worked quickly even though I was there for a factory recall and would not be paying. More
