    BUYER BEWARE…read more Summary: I purchased a used truck (and warranty) from Taylor Auto's Hyundai Dealership in Findlay. I was told that the truck had undergone a 172point inspection. The same day as the sale, thirty-two miles after purchasing the truck, the engine overheated, redlined and the check engine light came on. I did not even make it back home to Fostoria before this happened. This was caused by a coolant leak that Taylor Auto missed. Taylor Auto refused to refund the down payment & take back the defective vehicle. I purchased a used truck on Mar 22 2025 at Taylor Hyundai Findlay Auto. There were 3 criteria for my purchase. I wanted a pickup, that was less than 100k miles and I was led to believe that the truck was functional. The check engine light was not on nor was the engine overheating during the .5-mile test drive. I was told that the truck had undergone a bumper-to-bumper,172point inspection. I took that at face value. I didn't even check the coolant, brake fluid, engine oil level etc. I'm rather angry at myself for that. I blindly trusted the dealership that the vehicle was functional. That trust was broken when the engine started redlining. The engine redlining on the day that it was sold is inexcusable and means that the bumper-to-bumper inspection was either a lie or something was incompetently missed that resulted in a serious problem. Sunday [3/23] I found out that there is no legal recourse for used vehicles sold in Ohio, and by the evening I'd accepted that I'd been sold a defective truck. Tuesday [3/25] I realized I had not given Taylor Auto the opportunity to correct the situation. When I stopped by, I was informed that the general manager, Mr. Kimmel, was unavailable and was currently at a dealership in Lima. I met with Mr. Welsh the general sales manager, next door at the Taylor Auto Findlay Kia dealership. I showed Mr. Welsh and Mr. Siler [the Kia service manager who was also present] the video/pictures of the engine redlining. To the best of my memory the following was said. Mr. Welsh seemed to take offense to me saying that the truck "was clearly defective". He responded, "it's not defective, maybe it is just a small thing". Then he said, "sometimes even new vehicles need work done". He also said "We don't know if you did something to cause this"... An engine redlining is NEVER a "small" thing regardless of what led to it. I didn't think much at that moment about his new vehicles comment but in retrospect it's mildly disturbing for a general sales manager to make a comment like that. It was most likely made to downplay the seriousness of the situation. But if there is truth to his comment, I don't know if that is a reflection on Hyundai, Kia or just the Taylor Auto group in general. New vehicles should never "need work done"... His comment insinuating that between giving them a $9500 check and 32 miles later, I did something to cause the engine to redline is as insulting as it is foolish. Then we got in a disagreement about who would fix the truck as I am opposed to people I don't trust working on my property. I relented as that was the only possibility that Taylor Auto would cancel the sale & take back the defective truck. The truck was towed to Taylor Auto. Wed [3/26] I received a call from Mr. Ratliff, the Hyundai service manage. He reassured me that the 172point inspection HAD been performed and that the overheating was caused by a leak in the coolant system. This means there is no contestation that the truck was sold to me in a defective state. There was some good news. According to the people who did the 172inspection, the engine wasn't seriously damaged due to the redlining caused by the coolant leak they missed during the 172inspection... Tuesday [4/1] when I picked up the truck, I asked Mr. Ratliff how to set up a meeting with either Mr. Kimmel/Mr. Welsh. He couldn't tell me but promised to pass my request on to Mr. Welsh. 2 Days later I sent an email to Mr. Kimmel. It has been over a week [4/14] and I still haven't heard back. Apparently I was blown off. I won't do business here again.

    Despite the awful reviews I still attempted to do business with Taylor of Findlay but every time I…read morecalled what I thought was the dealership, I somehow kept getting routed to a rude receptionist that seems to work from home. I live an hour away from this location and received a pre approval offer through my bank so I wanted more details before making that hour drive but she refused to let me speak to a sales associate so I will take my business elsewhere. Now I see why the reviews are so bad, I didn't even step a foot in the door and the customer service already sucks!!
