Hyundai Zambezi
I went to Hyundai Zambezi in Pretoria for a new car. Because I have a balloon payment on my car so rather than exchange for a new car. I met a salesperson at the dealership. His sales manager did the evaluation on my vehicle. Then starts the process of looking for a new car. It’s clearly the salesperson does not have on hand knowledge of the products he is selling. All the questions were answered by Google. After a decision was made, I was taken to the financial consultant for the paperwork and preliminary financial summary. That was on Saturday, So Monday was a public holiday. I got a call that I can come in the Wednesday, car will be ready. On arrival the financial consultant discussed the purchase contract. I wanted a towbar, so that was included. The moment I wanted to sign the contract I realise it is for a 1.5 diesel and not the 2 Liter petrol as agreed on Saturday. I decided to proceed because the cost is still in my budget range. We agreed on the contract and the process went through to the bank finance for the purchase. The deal went through and I was asked to arrange for insurance before vehicle can be taken. I contacted the insurance on the spot and coverage were made for the new vehicle and old vehicle is taken off. After this phone call I received a new purchase contract for the 1.5 diesel because the other contract was wrong it was for a 2 Liter and not a 1.5 diesel. The price suddenly skyrocketed out of my budget. I was not happy about this mishap. I asked the financial officer to provide a financial contract for a 2 Liter. She worked out the correct payment schedule with the correct cashback guarantee. I accepted the deal and requested that they fit the towbar so that we can collect the vehicle the following day. I later contact the dealership and asked them how long it takes for a fitment. It was said 2 hours. I asked them if they can be finished by ten, it was confirmed for ten o’clock. My wife received the vehicle at noon without the fitment because she needed the vehicle to drive to Vereeniging and my old car is already without insurance coverage. The fitment will be arranged on a later date. The Dealership Principle was aware of the whole experience. I sent a complaint to Hyundai South Africa. A lady at the complaint department of Hyundai South Africa contacted me about this. I told her the whole story and told her I will contact the Dealership Principal about my disappointment. The call centre lady told me that apparently, we were in a rush for the vehicle that’s why the towbar was not fitted. The call centre wanted to close the complaint because I said I will phone the principal myself. That is wrong, what it means the dealership can do what they want with out any pressure or accountability. I left a message for the Dealerships Principle of Hyundai Zambezi to contact me. It’s more than two days now. No contact. What I realise is the following: The Salesperson has no knowledge of the products on sale. The Salesperson has no knowledge of the dealership’s processes. He should have booked a time slot at the Service Department. Theres no proper communication. The salesperson gave the wrong details to the financial consultant. All of this is a clear sign that there’s no proper management or training for personnel. Day 5 without numberplates and licence disk. That is not service. The only plus point was the financial consultant that really tried to rectify the problems others made. Thank you for that. It is clear currently that Hyundai South Africa pushing for selling units, customer care is not a priority. Please note that my previous Hyundai was bought at the same dealership in 2020, different personnel. That was a breeze.

Hyundai Customer Service in the Service Department
We took our car into Hyundai Zambezi 5 months ago within our service plan to fix our reverse camera on our i20. 5 months later the issue is still not fixed after having to take the car in about 7 times without being offered a loan car for the inconvenience even after expressing our concerns and explaining that the situation is getting ridiculous. Hyundai Zambezi does no effort from their side in terms of customer service. We only get feedback on the progress if we call them and then the person on the line is annoyed with us for calling so much. There's no "sorry for the wait" or anything in that direction, it's just as if we are a major inconvenience for them. We were going to buy our next car from Hyundai as well but thanks to this experience, we will never drive a Hyundai again and will share this experience with anyone who asks. The sales service is great, but once they get you reeled in, that's where it stops. Wade and his team in the service department are extremely unprofessional and ***********. If this is the kind of people that Hyundai employ and approve of, this is easily the worst car brand in South Africa.

Bad Customer service From Hyundai Zambezi Branch
I purchased a car last Friday 06/12/2024. Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the AMT transmission on the vehicle. I also have concerns about the fact that I was not given the opportunity to test drive the car before making the purchase. When I first took the car, I immediately expressed my dissatisfaction to sales person called Favour, asking if it would be possible to switch to a manual transmission. She informed me that she could not assist with this request and advised that I speak with her manager. On Saturday, I visited the branch hoping for a resolution. However, when the manager approached me, I was met with a rude response, and I was told that nothing could be done and I would have to accept the car as it is. the manager was using F** word when addressing me . below is the response i got from the dealership with no sense of remorse Good afternoon Katlego Trust this mail finds you well . Unfortunately, we wont be able to cancel this deal . Please do keep in mind that we had to purchase this vehicle to retail to yourself . Kind regards, Dirk Lourens Used Car Sales Manager Hyundai Zambezi 1081 Zambezi Dr,Montana,Gauteng,

Poor after sales service on faults reported
After Sales Service : Faulty Boot - Window handle replacement 29/07/2023 - Purchased a 2nd Hand Vehicle Cash - R125000.00 02/08/2023 - Took delivery of the vehicle Hardly any Admin went into this deal - it was straight forward - all paperwork was done with the Admin lady on 29/07/2023 Upon purchasing the vehicle 29/07/2023 I told the Sales Rep Brian that when I take delivery of said vehicle everything must be 100% as I am not coming back due to the distance - I stay over an hours drive from Zambezi - East Rand. Took delivery of vehicle 02/08/2023 - was told Window handle on order - will deliver it to me upon receipt. Boot Fault reported 03/08/2023 - was told by sales rep that he will check with technicians and previous owner - no further reply 16/08/2023 - I did a follow up - was told that the window handle arrived and I must book in the vehicle for technicians to check the boot and fit handle I said that they could collect the vehicle from me or alternatively arrange for it to be done at a dealer in Rhodesfield/Boksburg. I was told by Sales Rep Mr Riaan Marx (Used Car Manager) will communicate with me - today is the 25/08/2023 haven't had any feedback/telephone call/communication further. Had to take leave to take delivery of the vehicle on 02/08/2023 - due to it being dealer out of our range. PS - In all this I registered/Licensed the vehicle myself as arranged with Dealer, thought it was a good gesture as I reside in the East Rand then they don't have to send a driver all the way from Zambezi to Benoni to do said - Dealer charged me on my Invoice for R1450.00 Licensing/Registration of which it only cost R315.00 - only R315.00 was refunded, Please Clarify as to the balance of the amount?????? was told to take it further with the Ombuds man

3 x bad service from Hyundai Zambezi
Pathetic service. In 2019 traded my Hyundai Sonata 2.2 liter for a new Hyundai Creta. Took it for a test drive and the car could not "perform". The Salesman told me it is because it is still new and will perform better after a month which never happened. After 3 years of utter frustrations I traded it in for a 2nd hand Hyundai IX35. The sales lady on the day of collection, did not give me the aerial of the car and i had to ask for a paper numberplate. I had to go back to collect the aerial and I was told that she is going on leave and will drop off the plates at my house as she will travel past my house but I was told later that she forgot. She gave me a spare paper number plate and said that I can write the details myself when the date on the paper expired. A month later I eventually got the number plates. The IX35 stopped dead on the highway after driving it every day for almost 2 months and it was towed in to Hyundai Zambezi. I was told that the fuel injectors did not work and that the injectors must he overhauled. Hyundai Zambezi said they can't help me with a loan car. After being retrenched due to covid, I found a job after 34 months at home and now I don't have a car to go to work. I was furious because I believe that the IX35 was faulty since I bought it. The branch Manager was not friendly at all and after telling him that I am going to get the car fixed and trade it in for another brand, he said to the sales lady to assist me with another car because the IX35 need to be fixed in order to use it as a trade in. I was told by the Workshop Manager that they will give me a quote to overhaul the fuel injectors but since 13 March 2023 did not receive a written quote. The Financial lady was very helpful in order to get me finance and also told me that the tank was filled with fuel and the price of the fuel was included in the purchase price. I was in the financial ladies office when the sales lady told her to add R10 000. According to me the sales price was "loaded" in order to get extra money to repair the IX35. I received a call to say that I must collect my new car the 16th of March and cried my eyes out because I am "forced" to accept a new car which I don't like at all just because I did not have money to have the fuel injectors overhauled. I called the company in Pretoria North today 1 April to whom they said they are going to send the fuel injectors and was informed that neither the fuel injectors was send to them nor a quotation was requested from Hyundai Zambezi. It is 16 days since I fetched the car and is still waiting for the spare keys of the Atos as well as the paper with the car number plate details. Moral of the story, it is the 3rd time I got a bad service from Hyundai Zambezi and is surely the last time Hyundai will see me. After driving various Hyundai's for 24 years, I am going to trade the Atos in for a new brand. Don't buy the 2nd hand IX35 at Hyundai Zambezi, you might be the next person standing next to the road with fuel injectors problems. Shame on Hyundai Zambezi
