Always makes me wonder.... Does OEM know something? Did the vender piss off the OEM and how?
Anyone have any insights?

Yikes, OEM-approved vendors aren't exactly known for driving the best results, so how bad must you be to actually get blacklisted?

But if I had to guess, I would surmise it's not performance-related (because most OEM's don't tend to care about that), but moreso potentially related to ongoing issues with the accuracy / integrity of their co-op submissions.
Similar to how Hyundai went after Napleton for alleged fraudulent engine warranty claims (22 engines per month!):

Hyundai sues Napleton over alleged fraudulent engine warranty claims
In the lawsuit, Hyundai alleged the defendants bought certain Sonata and Santa Fe vehicles from auctions and would present fraudulent warranty claims about the vehicles to the automaker.

Yes -- would love to maybe hear from any of those venders, their side of the story?
Agreed - probably the main reason. Also, I have seen excessive CPMs in a few of these cases when billed via CO-OP.OEM == example $100 CPM for a conquest email blast, when market rates are less than half of that.

Agreed! And if any dealers are currently using or considering using these 4 vendors at non-Hyundai stores, it would be prudent to inquire about the reasoning behind the Hyundai ban so you can make your own decision of whether or not to continue yourself.
