My 2020 Toyota Highlander key fob stopped working suddenly. I brought it to Plaza Toyota on 7/9/25 so they could re-program the key fob. On 7/10/25 i received a call claiming they could not program the key fob because it was programmed to a different vehicle. My key fob had never been out of my possession until I dropped it to Plaza Toyota. And only Toyota has the necessary software to program a key for my vehicle. They want to chatlge me over $200 for a new key fob as well as over $200 for labor to program the key.Business Response

I own a 2020 *** ********* and have been dealing with a malfunctioning driver power seat (the up/down and slide knobs) for over a year. I reported the issue multiple times to *** of Brooklyn (************), starting before my warranty expired in February 2025. Each time, I was told the part was ordered, but when I returned for service, it was never available.On July 8, 2025, I was told by a new advisor that the repair would cost over $1,000, even though this issue was reported while still under warranty. The dealership has had high staff turnover, poor communication, and has consistently failed to follow through.I have text message from the advisor informing me that the part was there. I have service requests for the repair in questions. I also discovered a recall (24V407000, June 2024) for power seat fire risk. I was told it only applied to the passenger and I believe was for both front power seat.I feel I was misled, strung along until my warranty expired, and possibly taken advantage of due to gender. Im seeking a full investigation, warranty coverage honored, and repairs completed at no cost to me.Business Response

I am writing to report a series of issues with my recently purchased 2025 Honda Odyssey Touring (VIN: *****************) and my unsatisfactory experience with Plaza Honda in Brooklyn, **, specifically involving Sales Manager ****** **********.I purchased the vehicle on April 5, 2025. Within two weeks, the right Blind Spot Information System sensor failed and was repaired by April 26. On May 26, the third-row right window shattered spontaneously while I was closing the drivers door. I brought the car in for service again.When I picked it up after the glass repair, the second-row sliding door failed to respond to the key fob or interior switch. It couldnt be fixed on site. I also noticed a scratch on the right second-row door handle, likely caused during service.Concerned about the repeated issues with this brand-new vehicle, I spoke with Sales Manager ****** ********** in person. I expressed my worries regarding the overall build quality and potential safety risks of the car. Unfortunately, *** ********** was dismissive, offered no guarantees, and cut the conversation short within minutes. When I called him again to report the new door issue shortly after our initial discussion, his tone and response remained unchanged.These multiple defects and the poor dealership response have left me extremely concerned. I purchased this vehicle to transport my family and children, and I expected better from both Hondas vehicle reliability and dealership customer service.I am requesting the following:1. A formal investigation into the recurring mechanical and structural issues with my Odyssey.2. Accountability from Plaza Honda for the poor customer service, dismissive attitude, and mishandling of my concerns.3. Written assurance or extended coverage that protects me if further issues arise.4. Consideration for a replacement vehicle or buyback if this pattern of defects continues.Business Response

Dear [BBB Representative/Complainant],
Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I take customer concerns seriously and would like to address the complaint regarding the service provided for the complainants vehicle.
I was not dismissive of the complainants concerns. To ensure continued support, I provided my personal phone number to assist with any future issues related to their vehicle. The complainant initially reported a problem with a broken window, which was addressed by our service department. I spent approximately 15 minutes with the complainant at my desk, reviewing their concerns, including a video they provided showing the window issue. At that time, no mention was made of any sensor-related problems.
After the window was repaired on Saturday, the complainant contacted me to report an issue with the sliding door not closing properly. I was informed by the service department that they advised the complainant to bring the vehicle back for further inspection. I promptly confirmed with the complainant that we would thoroughly examine the door issue upon their return. I emphasized that if the problem persisted, we could have a further discussion to address it appropriately.
While I understand the complainants frustration, I cannot control unforeseen mechanical issues such as a window breaking or a door malfunctioning. My priority was to ensure the vehicle was inspected and repaired properly, and I facilitated open communication by providing my direct contact information. I remain committed to assisting the complainant and resolving any ongoing concerns with their vehicle.
Please feel free to contact me directly at ************ or ************************************** to discuss this matter further or to arrange additional service for the complainants vehicle.Sincerely,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:[While I appreciate his acknowledgment of my concerns, I must clarify that his response does not accurately reflect the nature of our interactions or resolve the core issues I raised.
1. Duration and Content of **************************************** *************** *** ********** claims we spent approximately 15 minutes reviewing my concerns. However, our direct one-on-one conversation lasted no more than 56 minutes. While I did briefly interact with other staff during my visit, the actual conversation with *** ********** lacked any meaningful resolution or display of ownership. I explicitly raised concern that the rear-side window shattered during a normal door-closing motiona highly unusual event that warranted more than a referral to service. If necessary, CCTV footage from the dealership should be able to confirm the actual duration.
2. Lack of Empathy or ******************************** **************** ******************** emphasizes having given me his contact number and stating I could return if further issues arose, this did not amount to a genuine or proactive response. I was not simply reporting a one-off issueI was voicing concern that a brand-new family vehicle might have broader safety or quality defects. I received no reassurance, escalation of the matter, or any acknowledgment of how this situation impacts my trust and confidence in the vehicle.3. Phone Call Following Door Malfunction
When I discovered that the second-row power sliding door was no longer functioning via remote, I promptly called *** *********** That call lasted only 1 minute, as verified by my phone records. Once again, I was told to speak to service. No attempt was made to acknowledge or engage with the broader issuethat multiple defects had now emerged in quick succession.
4. My **************************************************** **************** Unfortunately, *** ********** response continues to center on defending his prior conduct rather than addressing my actual concern. This is not about blameit's about whether a family customer experiencing multiple mechanical and structural issues within the first few weeks of ownership can expect empathy, accountability, and a commitment to resolving the situation.
While I appreciate the invitation to contact him again, that misses the core issueI already did, more than one time. I did not feel heard, supported, or reassured in any of those interactions. I remain concerned about both the quality of the vehicle and the dealerships apparent unwillingness to take these concerns seriously.

Date of Transaction:May 26, 2025 Amount Paid to Business:$3000 upfront, Monthly lease of $599.36 (36-month term)What Business Committed :A 2025 Hyundai Elantra N on lease, with the assurance that I could return or exchange the vehicle under the 3-Day Worry-Free Exchange Policy clearly advertised on Plaza Hyundais website and Hyundais national marketing.Dispute:Within 48 hours of leasing the vehicle, I requested to return or exchange the car under the 3-Day Worry-Free Exchange Policy. I had driven less than 80 miles, and the car was in showroom condition. The business initially denied this option, claiming that because the vehicle was registered, it could not be returnedeven though registration is not listed as a disqualifying factor in the stated policy.After several attempts and pressure, including escalation to Hyundai Consumer Affairs (Case ID: *********, *********************** manager ****** ***** verbally agreed (on May 29) to buy back the vehicle and allow me to switch to a cheaper lease. I have a full recording of this conversation.He instructed me to wait until I received my plates to return the car, assuring me the exchange would be honored. However, since then, *** experienced continuous delays, unresponsiveness, and broken promises. He said I would receive a response by June 2, 10:30 AM. I have made over 12 calls that day and received no answer. As of now, I am being stonewalled and no clear path forward is being offered.Has the Business Tried to Resolve the Problem?Yes, verbally, but they have not followed through. Despite promising written confirmation, I have received none. Their current conduct appears to be stalling tactics and is causing me mental and financial distress as a recent graduate on a student visa.Advertise:The 3-Day Worry-Free Exchange policy is advertised directly on Plaza Hyundais own website:************************************************************ It is also part of Hyundais ************************** program.Business Response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
This response from Plaza Hyundai is inaccurate and misleading. I reached out within the 3-Day Worry-Free Exchange window, while the vehicle was under 80 miles and in showroom conditionclearly meeting the terms of the exchange policy advertised on their own website and in Hyundai USAs marketing.
The dealerships representative, ****** *****, verbally confirmed after discussing with ** ****** that I would be eligible for an exchange and instructed me to keep the car until my plates arrived, at which point they would process the swap. I have this conversation fully recorded, legally under NYs one-party consent law.
The dealership is now refusing to honor that agreement and instead mischaracterizing my reason for return, ignoring the policy they committed to. I am not asking for a legal cooling-off period, but rather for Plaza Hyundai to abide by their own advertised return/exchange policy.
I have also filed a formal complaint with the NY Attorney General (Intake ************** and contacted Hyundai Consumer Affairs (Case ID: *********.
I am requesting Plaza Hyundai proceed with the promised vehicle buyback or exchange as originally agreed.In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

On May *******, when we entered the car sales center and indicated our intention to purchase a Toyota RAV XLE hybrid model, the salesperson quoted us $42,000, including taxes and DMV fees. At that time, we agreed to pay an initial down payment of $8,000, with $3,000 in cash and $5,000 using ***** pay. However, due to equipment issues at the sales center, the $5,000 was not successfully paid, and we received a receipt for $3,000. We then proceeded to complete the loan application on-site and stated that we would only need to pay the remaining $5,000 down payment on May 13 to take the car. On May 13, after paying the $5,000 in cash, we saw no documents throughout the process until the procedures were completed, when the salesperson provided some documents and informed us that the transaction was finalized. When I opened the documents, I found that the toyota motor ins service contract fee amount of $4,995 had not been mentioned by any of the salespeople, and the vehicle price had changed from $42,000 to $44,395.60. When the salesperson signed these documents for us, these amounts were not displayed, and they did not provide a reasonable explanation.

*** * ***. **** are who Plaza Honda conducted business with. Attached you will find a copy of the agreed and signed offer. You will also find a photo of the *****s with their Sales **** at the time of delivery. You will also see that *** **** is holding the pocket folder that is provided to all consumers with the documents of their sale. By no means were they taken advantage of. They wanted to put more money down on the vehicle and we advised them not to. At that point, we agreed on what they were comfortable with.
The *****s were very pleased with their decision and even returned to buy parts/accessories from our parts dept. Their son has his own personal opinion and has been continuously writing letters and negative reviews
We made the time and met with them all in person. Our Sales Manager, ******, offered to make 2 months payments with the intention of having everyone satisfied and to hopefully have the negative reviews removed.
Their son again is not happy with that and is looking for 6 months paid. At this point, we feel that we should not have to deal with ******** at all. He seems to be the only one that has an issue with this transaction, and we had no dealings with him until after his parents took their vehicle.
We are willing to make the two payments as final resolution and would like this matter to be closed once and for all.

I bought a 2024 ********** for ****** cash. When I learned that it had a recall on it, I took it to Nostrand Plaza Auto mall. Someone from Plaza Hyundai suggested Why not trade it in for a new car. The Highlander had 3000 miles but I still went along with the suggestion. I asked the person making the deal," what is the cost of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade?" He said $60, 000. I said how much does my car value. He said they calculated it at ****** because of depreciation. I said. That's crazy. I paid $75000 and it depreciated to ******. I said OK. What's the difference I have to pay now. He said ******. I said but ****** and ****** is far more than ******. He said the taxes brought it up. I said I don't like car notes so I will wait until Monday when my money is cleared. He said ok you can pay ***** down and let the ****** stay on finance to build your credit. This was Friday November 29, 2024. I told him I don't like financing, so on Monday, Dec 1, 2024, I paid ****** hoping that the ***** will be paid later. The next month I checked with Hyundai finance they said my balance was ****** and I paid ******. Now I owed ******. I called Hyundai sale. I got the run around. I went there in person. They said the person who did the sale left the job. I saw the manager at the time who was ********. He said he would ease my pain by paying in ***** to Hyundai Finance. I said that is not enough. Weeks passed and it was not done. I went back out there to ask why. They **** ******** was fired. The new manager said he would help me to get the discounted *****. 3 week passed and nothing was done. I called Hyundai finance today and they said nothing is in the system about it. I called back Plaza hyundai. They got the manager on the phone who said he never got the time to do it and was giving me a lot of attitude saying that he was not invited to the wedding and now he has to be at the funeral.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:Good afternoon. My Complaint has NOT been resolved. When PLAZA HYUNDAI realized that I sent a complaint to BBB they called me and offered me a check of $5,000 to defray the cost of the full car notes. I refused it because they actually scammed me out of about $25,000.
Here are the details:I traded in a 2024 Toyota Hylander Premium to PLAZA HYUNDAI. I paid $75,000 plus tax for it. They offered me a 2025 HYUNDAI Palisade. They said that it cost $60,000. They said that because of depreciation they will offer me $54,000. I only had it for 6 months. I asked the salesman what is the difference that I have to pay. He calculated it and said that I should pay $15,300. I told I didn't want payments so I will have the $15,300 on the next business day. They forced me to do payments cause it builds credit. Then they say pay down $3,000. I paid that and the paid $10,000 on the next business day, which means my balance would be $2,300. After paying the ****** i checked HYUNDAI Finance and it showing me that my balance was ******. So when the $10,000 is removed from it , it showing the remaining balance was $27,000. How is this si was all I owed was $2,300? I went to Plaza hyundai to find the salesman. They told me he was fired. I talked to the manager who decided to help me. I left. One month passed and nothing was done. I went back to Plaza hyundai and again the manager was fired this time. The New manager said he would help. Another month passed and nothing was done. This time I called him. He got angry and told me that he was nit invited to the wedding so he doesn't see why he should be dragged to the funeral." I told him that I am going to contact BBB. He said do what I have to do. With all this , I keep paying my car notes of $712 every month.4 months - Jan, Feb, Mar, April = $2,850. That's basically what I owed them $2,300. However my car notes balance is still saying $25,000. When I called Hyundai this morning, the read a document to me saying that I traded in the car for $******. THAT'S A LIE. WE AGREED ON $54,000. They changed the figures behind my back. Why would I buy a car for $75,000 and used it for 6 months and trade it for ******. Am I a drug addiction? PLAZA HYUNDAI NEEDS THE REMOVE THAT $25,000 FROM MY BALANCE CAUSE I DONT OWE IT. THERE IS NO TRANSPARENCY with this dealer.In order for the BBB to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above.

Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
