“I didn’t make it, I didn’t build it, and I didn’t break it. You’re the one who purchased a Hyundai.”
— Darrell, Service Advisor
I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid brand new from a Jeff Wyler Hyundai dealership. Unfortunately, my experience with Jeff Wyler Hyundai of Beavercreek has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing.
At 59,800 miles, my check engine light came on. Being that I was right at the end of the 60,000-mile warranty, I immediately scheduled service and stopped driving the vehicle to avoid exceeding the mileage limit. The dealership diagnosed a failed EGR Valve Assembly. Because the dealership is approximately 25 miles away, the vehicle arrived with 60,006 miles on it. Despite the fact that the issue occurred within the warranty period, and the car had 59 miles on it when I purchased it new, the dealership refused to honor the warranty. I was forced to pay nearly $1,800 out of pocket for the repair in May 2025.
Fast forward to January 2026, at approximately 68,000 miles, the check engine light came on again. I returned to Jeff Wyler Hyundai of Beavercreek and was told, once again, that the EGR assembly had failed and needed replaced. I was then informed that it would not be covered, even though replacement parts carry a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty.
To make matters worse, one of the dealerships service advisors, Darrell, initially claimed that the original repair never happened. Darrell, was extremely rude and unprofessional throughout the interaction. At one point, he stated:
“I didn’t make it, I didn’t build it, and I didn’t break it. You’re the one who purchased a Hyundai.”
This comment was unnecessary, dismissive, and completely inappropriate for someone in a customer-facing role.
After several stressful days of contacting Hyundai Corporate and providing proof that the original repair did, in fact, occur, it was finally agreed that the EGR assembly would be replaced under warranty.
While I am relieved the issue was ultimately resolved, it should never have required this level of effort, stress, or escalation, especially for a known issue that failed twice in under 9,000 miles. The lack of accountability, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior from service staff have permanently damaged my trust in this dealership.
I would strongly caution others to document everything and be prepared to advocate for themselves if they choose to service their vehicle here.
