In mid-December 2025, I scheduled an appointment to look at a used Toyota they had listed in inventory. I arrived for my appointment, test drove the vehicle, and raised a few concerns that could have impacted my decision to purchase. When we returned to the dealership, I was then informed that the vehicle I had just test driven had already been sold and was only awaiting pickup.
That was the first major red flag. How does a customer schedule an appointment earlier in the week, arrive to test drive a vehicle, and only afterward find out that the vehicle was no longer available? That showed a serious lack of communication and organization between sales and management.
The salesperson then presented me with another option: a used 2013 Hyundai Tucson. I was told the vehicle had an “impeccably clean” inspection and service record. Based on that representation, I decided to move forward. I traded in my vehicle, put an additional $1,200 down, and left believing I had purchased a reliable vehicle from a reputable dealership.
Unfortunately, that confidence did not last long.
Approximately two months after purchasing the vehicle, and less than 3,000 miles later, I started the vehicle and was met with a check engine light. The code was P2006 for the intake manifold. I contacted the dealership hoping that, given how recently I had purchased the vehicle, there might be some assistance or at least a meaningful conversation about repair costs. Instead, I received little to no communication and was left with a $500 repair bill.
At that point, I accepted the situation, although I was already disappointed. I assumed the issue had been properly addressed and that I would not have to deal with it again.
That assumption was wrong.
In early May, while driving, I noticed the vehicle’s RPMs climbing while the speed remained stagnant. I pulled over, turned the vehicle off, and restarted it. The check engine light came on again. I returned home, used my OBD scanner, and once again received the same P2006 code.
At that point, I called the dealership and explained that the same issue had returned after I had already paid them to repair it. I also explained that I am now back in East Glacier Park for the summer and do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle along Route 2 in its current condition, especially in areas with little to no cell service. I asked for assistance with towing the vehicle back to their facility so it could be diagnosed properly.
I was told they would not provide a tow.
This is extremely frustrating. The same issue appeared just two months after I purchased the vehicle, I paid $500 to have it addressed, and now the exact same code has returned. From my perspective, the original service did not properly resolve the problem.
I have made multiple attempts to contact the dealership, including voicemails for the General Manager, emails, and even LinkedIn messages. Those attempts have gone unanswered.
I understand that the vehicle was purchased “as-is,” but hiding behind that does not excuse poor communication, a lack of accountability, or a failure to properly address a recurring issue. I was sold a vehicle that was presented as having a clean inspection and service history, and within months I have had repeated mechanical problems and almost no meaningful support from the dealership.
At this point, I am not asking for special treatment. I am asking for basic accountability and a reasonable solution. I expected far better customer care from Clark Hyundai, especially considering how quickly these issues appeared after purchase and how the same issue has now returned after I paid their service department to repair it.
This experience has left me extremely disappointed, frustrated, and regretful of my decision to purchase from this dealership
