The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the AWD warning light illuminated and was reset each time the vehicle was restarted. The contact also stated that over a couple of months, while downshifting, stopping, or decelerating, the vehicle stalled on several occasions. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at approximately 30 MPH, the Check Engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was then taken to an AutoZone, where a handheld diagnostic machine retrieved diagnostic trouble codes: P0017 (crankshaft) and P0171 (system too lean), and it was observed that the oil reservoir was empty. Two quarts of oil were added to the vehicle. The contact stated that after being serviced, the vehicle was idling high and stalled while driving at unknown speeds on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed with a sheared timing pin, and it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while making left turns on several occasions, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was shifted into park (P) and restarted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. However, during routine maintenance, an independent mechanic noticed that the oil reservoir was empty, and an oil change was completed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

Vehicle (2019 Kona) is subject to Recall 203 (piston ring/bore defect). On XXX Puente Hills Hyundai refused the mandatory physcial inspection, instead attempting to charge $1,100 for 'leak repairs.' An independent inspection by Valvoline on XXX confirmed the engine is dry with no leaks, proving the dealer's claim was fraudulent. Following a recent ECU update, the vehicle triggered a P0420 code—a known symptom of the internal engine damage covered by Recall 203. My Hyundai Corporate Case (#XXX) is currently stalled as the dealer refuses to provide technician notes or perform the safety inspection. I am operating an unsafe vehicle with documented internal mechanical failure. Requesting immediate intervention for a physical cylinder inspection. Please refer to the attached document (SUMMARY OF EVENTS) for the full chronology, supporting evidence, and email correspondence related to the dealership's refusal to perform Recall 203. See attached PDF (Evidence_Email_Correspondence) for documentation of the dealership's refusal to provide technician notes and their unprofessional communication regarding this safety recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact observed excessive oil consumption, which has progressively caused the vehicle to stall 2 to 3 times per week. While the engine can be restarted, it idles and runs roughly immediately afterward. Additionally, the contact noted a distinct smell of burning oil exiting from the exhaust system. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (ENGINE) however, the VIN was not included in the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where it was diagnosed to have excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,000.

The contact owns a 2019 HYUNDAI Kona. The contact stated while driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed, he noticed he had an engine knock, and noticed that the engine was consuming a good amount of oil with no warning lights or oil leaks. The contact pulled over to the side when the knock started and noticed the vehicle was starving of oil although a recent oil change shows it was recent. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed to have poor service, and engine sludge although dealer stated there was none. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,132.

Vehicle frequently and quietly stalls while driving in active traffic, creating an immediate safety hazard. Vehicle is a 2019 Kona with the 2.0L Nu MPI engine, which is the exact subject of NHTSA Safety Recall 21V301 (Recall 209). Hyundai Motor America (Case #42541672) is actively refusing to honor or inspect the vehicle under the safety recall mandates, claiming a lack of dealership service history overrides a federal safety defect.

96,247 mi Engine knock and complete oil loss within 3,000 miles of last oil change Symptoms consistent with NHTSA Recall 21V301 (Hyundai Recall 203) and Warranty Extension TXXM coverage

Engine blew a head gasket so had to have the engine rebuilt @ a cost of $13,000. Car only had 22,500 miles on it. I think that should instigate a recall.

The vehicle burns oil faster and the vehicle began to stall at highway speeds. Upon further research, a campaign recall for the same vehicle is open but only for specific VIN. Although this vehicle was not part of the recall campaign 21V301000 the vehicle shows issues aligned with the recall.

Last week just driving to school, my engine started to knock. So the next day we take it to a local mechanic shop and it exploded while they were test driving it and they diagnosed it with rod bearing failure. So I contact Hyundai and get it towed to the Hyundai dealership for them to inspect it and eventually do an engine swap, but after it got dropped off I was told it’d be $360 to get it diagnosed and filed and they said that I have no warranty. I explained to the rep that the class action lawsuit regarding the Theta 2 GDI engines extends the warranty to 15 years/150,000 miles for all subsequent owners especially since I’ve had the KSDS installed. They’re refusing to cover damages even though my car was affected by a manufacturing issue on their end and was part of major recall campaigns. My car failed at 94,000 miles while up to date on services and the representative was recommending I ask Hyundai for “good-will funding” but I don’t need their “good will” I need them to make the situation right and cover all my expenses related to my blown engine

My 2019 Hyundai Kona is equipped with a 2.0L Nu MPI engine covered under Recall 203 (NHTSA Campaign 21V301) for defective piston oil rings. The recall inspection was performed and closed at a Hyundai dealership in September 2023. The engine was passed and not replaced. Following that recall closure, the vehicle has required the same repair four times: replacement of the CVVT Assembly-Exhaust, Camshaft Assembly-Exhaust, and Timing Chain Tensioner. Each repair was performed under warranty. The recurring diagnostic code is P0017 (Crankshaft/Camshaft Position Correlation - Exhaust). Total warranty expenditure on these repeated repairs exceeds 7,800. During one of these visits (January 2025), the technician noted the CVVT had a "slight hold on rotation" and flagged possible exhaust camshaft damage. The vehicle has also experienced stalling while driving, creating a direct safety risk to the driver and others on the road. An independent repair facility has evaluated the vehicle and provided a written assessment concluding that full engine replacement is required, and that an underlying engine defect is causing the repeated component failures. It is my position that the Recall 203 inspection was performed inadequately — the defect was present at the time of inspection and was not identified. The recall remedy did not resolve the condition it was designed to address. Hyundai has since declined to replace the engine despite the documented failure pattern and independent shop recommendation. The vehicle is available for inspection. The problem has been confirmed by both a Hyundai dealer and an independent shop.

I am reporting this for my daughter, [XXX] , while she's recovering on pain meds. She is the owner and driver of the car. no passengers in this 1-car accident. the weather and road conditions were terrible. car skidded of side of road into a ditch. When the airbags deployed, the plastic frame on the drivers side A-pillar broke and exploded out towards the driver. it appears the sharp edge of the broken plastic frame struck driver in left eye, slicing it cornea area of her eye causing a ruptured globe. thankfully, she has no other injuries. the plastic frame on the passenger side A-pillar did not break when it's airbag deployed. reporting by [XXX] . please contact me at [XXX] .

Vehicle struggling to accelerate and rolling back when brake is not being used. It stays at a few miles per hour even with full pressure on the gas pedal. A mechanic reviewed and stated the problem was due to low compression in the engine, causing the pistons to misfire. This issue has happened a total of 5 times and has almost caused other vehicles to crash into me due to sudden loss of speed and not being able to accelerate fast enough to properly get to safety

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a knocking sound coming from the vehicle with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (ENGINE); however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,634.

The rear left passenger will not open. The dealer thinks it is a faulty door latch actuator ($530 parts and labor). They said this is a common problem and they have a special tool to open the door, but they couldn't get it to work on my car. They think they will damage the interior door panel trying to fix this (approximately an additional $1,000). Warranty expired last year. This is a safety issue because in an emergency a passenger could be trapped in the vehicle or at best delayed in their escape. Also, the dealer said it is a common problem and online forums confirm that across several models and years. Also, it seems to be common for multiple doors to fail.

Engine smoke’s every now and then I go through a quart of oil every 600-1000 miles doubt it’s supposed to do that one time I went the full oil change limit I was completely out of oil the car was ticking and all this other stuff scene then I’m topping off my oil every 1000 miles till I need a oil change and it don’t stop ticking now so that’s a defect I don’t know if it’s apart of the 19-21 recall or not but this is not an okay engine

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 45 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle shut off. The driver pulled over to the side of the road and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (ENGINE); however, the vehicle was towed to a dealer and the dealer declined to honor the recall repair due to sludge in the oil cap. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,220.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle with the check engine warning light illuminated. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the engine oil was low, and the contact added oil to the engine. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine). The contact continued to investigate the failure and discovered that the vehicle was previously repaired before owning the vehicle. The contact reached out to several dealers and the manufacturer about the issue; however, no assistance was provided. The contact continued to speak with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer agreed to have an oil consumption test performed on the vehicle. The vehicle tested by two dealers for the consumption test and the results came back inconclusive. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

While stopped our 2019 Kona EV at a traffic light with my foot on the brake, the car spontaneously accelerated and crashed into the car also sitting at the light about eight feet in front of us. If there wasn't a car in front of us, we would have gone through a busy intersection at very high speed. The front end of the car was destroyed and both airbags deployed. The car was towed to a collision center and is considered: "Totaled" . We tried to get it inspected for the computer system to confirm what happened, but there was no interest by any party. There was no pre-warning or issues with the vehicle before this happened. The incident happened about ten miles from our house, and we had been driving it for about 15 minutes. The temperature outside was extremely cold at about 5 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was traveling on the interstate when my car began to slow down and the RPMs kept going up. I pulled over on the side of the highway and turned the motor off. I waited 10 minutes and started the car again thinking it was just a misfire. The motor began making weird noises and shaking. My engine like came on the dashboard display reported major malfunction get help. I was told by my mechanic that I was lucky the car did not catch on fire. He determined that pistons 1 and 3 were misfiring. He said it was being flooded with fuel. I have complained about the excessive burning of oil and that there must be an issue. Several have been recalled but not specific car.

The car's engine stuttered after pressing on gas pedal when engine is cold. When pressing on gas pedal from idle position at STOP sign, engine does not switch from 1st -> 2nd gear.

Vehicle Safety Complaint Narrative On Saturday, December 6, 2025, I brought my 2019 Hyundai Kona to Millennium Hyundai in Hempstead, New York, the dealership where the vehicle was purchased, for evaluation due to engine safety concerns. While driving the vehicle, we heard a knocking sound coming from the engine. One week earlier, on November 29, 2025, we brought the vehicle to our local mechanic after noticing the noise. The mechanic advised that the engine oil level was low and refilled the oil. Despite this, the knocking sound continued. Due to ongoing concerns about potential engine failure and because the vehicle is still under warranty, we scheduled an appointment with Millennium Hyundai for further diagnosis. The knocking noise raised serious safety concerns. On December 6th, we contacted the service manager, who advised us that the pistons were bad and they would need to replace the engine. On Monday, December 8th, we called the dealer and they then told us, that before any work could be done, that we would have to do an oil change for $90, drive the car for 1,000 miles and come back for an oil consumption test for $600 before they could make the repairs under the warranty. We are submitting this complaint to report a potential safety defect related to engine performance and reliability in the 2019 Hyundai Kona, as unexpected engine failure could pose a significant safety risk and, their requirement that we have to drive an unsafe car for 1,000 miles could be dangerous to the driver, passengers, and others on the roadway.

I believe that I’m leaking oil somewhere and that it’s due to the recall with the piston oil rings that’s on my car

I am reporting a recurring safety issue involving engine stalling in active traffic due to excessive oil loss and internal component failure. This has occurred three times within approximately 12,000 miles and has created dangerous conditions for my family, including my 2.5 year old child who rides in the vehicle. Summary of incidents: • May 15, 2025 – 61,736 miles: Vehicle stalled in traffic and lost acceleration. Dealership confirmed abnormal noise and low oil, but no oil consumption test was ordered. • Fall 2025 – 66,448 miles: Vehicle stalled and died on the highway. Diagnosis showed broken camshaft timing components. Service invoice states the engine oil system was too low and caused internal failures. Major timing components replaced. • October 30, 2025 – 69,175 miles: Vehicle stalled in traffic again. Oil was low after only 2,727 miles since previous repair. Dealer advised oil consumption test after another 1,000 miles, but I do not feel the vehicle is safe to drive due to repeated stalling and internal failures. At the most recent incident the dealership confirmed the oil level was again low, but did not identify the cause or perform consumption testing until after repeated failures. These repeated stall events are serious safety hazards and could result in a collision or injury. I have lost confidence in the safety of the vehicle. Based on consultation with an experienced engine mechanic, underlying internal damage from oil starvation is likely and may indicate piston ring or engine defect consistent with known Hyundai/Kia oil consumption issues. Hyundai has declined to provide a buyback or full repair solution and the vehicle continues to demonstrate dangerous conditions. We have purchased a full warranty for the engine but warranty company will not cover it as they are saying this is a pistons issue - wear and tear. I am requesting NHTSA investigation and assistance to ensure this defect is addressed before someone is injured.

I'm the owner of a 2019 Hyundai Kona (US spec) imported to Poland. The VIN is included in recall 21V-301 (fire risk). The engine showed symptoms consistent with this defect and failed at 44,000 miles. Photos confirm cylinder damage. Following Hyundai Motor America (HMA) instructions, I completed diagnostics at an authorized Hyundai service center in Poland. Results: error P0366, compression 2–3 bar. HMA refused to accept these documents, demanding a specific “Repair Order” format, which European dealers cannot issue. No real coordination with regional offices occurred, making compliance impossible. HMA then issued a warranty-related denial (not requested), citing salvage status, although it is irrelevant to the mandatory recall remedy. HMA also stated diagnostics must be done in the USA, which is impossible for a non-operational vehicle located in Poland. At the same time, Hyundai Motor Poland provided incorrect information (claiming two total-loss incidents instead of one) and advised dealers not to perform any work. As a result, Hyundai service centers in Poland refused further diagnostics and repairs, blocking access to the recall remedy. The manufacturer provided no feasible path to obtain the remedy and created barriers that made the recall effectively inaccessible. I also incurred unnecessary diagnostic costs. I request that NHTSA review HMA’s actions under campaign 21V-301 regarding my VIN, assess the creation of barriers preventing remedy access, evaluate Hyundai’s refusal to provide a feasible solution, and determine whether Hyundai fulfilled its obligations to ensure remedy accessibility for an owner located outside the USA. Additional evidence and a detailed timeline are attached. Details are provided in the attached file COMPLAINT.pdf.

My Kona has been stalling/hesitating when accelerating. It has been happening for a little over a year. It got very bad and the check engine light came on. I had it towed to Hyundai dealership and they said it was the fuel injectors so I paid to have those replaced, they said my warranty didn’t cover it. Replacing the fuel injectors made the car drivable but it was still stalling/hesitating but Hyundai said it was working properly. So I took it home. I have been driving it and it just keeps stalling and hesitating more and more. It is stalling and hesitating and has lack of power when I try to accelerate. I am afraid one day I’ll stall in traffic and get hit or cause an accident. I have also just realized my Kona has been using excessive oil. I just had an oil change mid August and today had to add at least 3 quarts. Even when I had my oil changed, the shop said I barely had maybe a quart in there, when it was just changed in May. We do not see any oil leaking out from anywhere. I have no choice but to use it to get around and Hyundai said it was working properly. I have recently looked online and I seen a lot of other owners reported the same issues. I have contacted Hyundai but they say theres nothing they can do. I am not sure where to go from here.

The fuel system appears to have a small leak from either a bad seal or a problem fuel line.

Burning oil faster than normal

My vehicle turns off while driving, which has almost cost mine and my child's life twice on the highway and once inside a roundabout. It often happens after acceleration and slight braking soon after, RPM goes to zero and a few dash lights come on. I am completely unable to accelerate, have to coast to a full stop until I can brake and put it into park and then push to start again. I'm sure you can see how absolutely life threatening this situation is when it happens in moving traffic! I have replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, all fuel injectors, camshaft sensor. The mechanic cannot get it to replicate the problem when he has it as it does not happen every time but I see that this is a COMMON problem with Hyundai. After all above repairs, this problem persists and I have no direction as to how to remedy this, but driving this vehicle now has me completely anxiety ridden and terrified for my life.

I own a 2019 Hyundai Kona with around 110,000 miles. The vehicle has been consuming an excessive amount of engine oil, approximately one quart every 1,000 miles. I first noticed the issue around 80,000 miles when oil levels began dropping significantly between oil changes. The problem has worsened over time, and during a long family road trip, I had to add a total of about 8 quarts of oil just to keep the engine from running dry. I took the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership for an official oil consumption test, which confirmed the loss rate (1 quart per 1,000 miles). However, Hyundai Motor America stated that this level of oil consumption is "within factory specifications" and denied any repair or assistance. This seems unreasonably high for a modern engine and creates both a safety concern (risk of running low on oil during travel) and a financial burden (frequent oil top-offs between changes). I am concerned this may indicate a defect similar to oil consumption issues seen in other Hyundai and Kia engines.

Engine light blinking. Code P1327

I would like to file a complaint regarding a major problem with our 2019 Hyundai Kona. We currently have Case #[XXX] opened with Hyundai Corporate Customer Care [XXX] ) but are having major problems getting this air bag issue resolved as it is currently an “unrecalled vehicle,” but having the same issue with air bags as a very recent recalled vehicle list and there is a current class action lawsuit. The car was in a minor rear end accident when major air bag issues were discovered not due to the accident. We were told to file a supplemental claim with our insurance company but as to no surprise to us it was denied because it had nothing to do with this car’s air bag issues. I have included the timeline and pertinent info on this car. It is currently outside the warranty period by date only. The vehicle has less than 58,000 miles on it. The vehicle’s air bag light was not illuminated until after the accident otherwise we would have resolved the issue right away The car has been at Hyundai Glassman in Southfield, Mi., for over 2 months while we have tried to get this resolved as the repair estimate is close to $9000.00.

On Monday [XXX] I was driving to work when my vehicle abruptly stopped in the middle of traffic. I had several cars behind me slam on their brakes due to my vehicle stopping. It was super scary and dangerous and at a four way stop. There was loud knocking from the engine seconds before it stopped on me. I called roadside assistance and had it towed to the dealership I work at. I looked up my VIN and was informed that my vehicle has an engine recall. It was sent to Hyundai river Oaks in Calumet City who I do NOT recommend. They never once called me with an update. They then informed me via text that my vehicle would not be covered under the recall due to, “jumped timing”. I then opened a case with Hyundai and they were not any better and closed my case and said there was nothing they would do for me and case was closed. I am furious that my vehicle has an engine recall and my engine failed on me and almost caused a very serious wreck for myself and others. They can get away with not covering the recall due to “jumped timing”. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owned a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled while driving uphill, and the contact heard a loud clanking sound coming from the engine compartment, with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer suggested that an oil consumption test be performed and return the vehicle be returned to the dealer every 1,000 miles. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.

On June 18th I was driving my car home when the engine shut off. I had it towed to my mechanic who ran a diagnostic test and told me the problem was under an active recall and I needed to take it to the dealership. I had it towed to the dealership, who informed me it would 300+ dollars to run a diagnostic test, I agreed to it, and then they took almost a month to notify me that my troubles were a timing chain and not the engine recall (which matches my symptoms exactly) The dealership said I could pay 5K+ to have the timing chain replaced but they would NOT be doing the active recall work on the vehicle and if I wasn't going to have the 5K in repairs done I could come pick up the car. I contacted the Corporate complaint, and was assigned a case manager who just relayed the same information from the dealership, I asked to speak with a supervisor and was denied. Multiple times I asked and multiple times I was told there was no one above my case manager so I would not be transferred to a supervisor. The dealership relayed that it was "not practical" to fix the recall work until I had the timing chain repaired. On a recorded line they stated they would not be fixing the recall work.

The button that sets or changes the speed control broke and no longer provided functionality, requiring replacing the whole right-side steering wheel button control module. This in turn required removing the entire steering wheel, which included removng the driver’s side airbag.

On multiple occasions the emergency braking system has engaged while making a lane change because the collision warning system thinks the vehicle is getting to close to the vehicle being passed. When this happens in city traffic, it has resulted in near misses from vehicles behind and in the lane for which a legal lane change is being made to avoid stopping or slowing traffic in the initial lane. The driver should ALWAYS have such control. When this happens and the car is trying to be accelerated or at least maintain the current speed as the lane change is made, the brakes very aggressively counter the driver’s actions. Since this has happened more than a dozen times, including within the first few months of ownership, information in follow-on fields will use approximate most recent occurrence.

This vehicle was sold to me advertised as a certified pre-owned by Somersworth Hyundai in New Hampshire. They have since shut down and I now see that they have a long history of bad reviews and scamming. When I had my first issue with this car, I brought it in thinking that it was covered by a certified pre-owned situation only to find out that it was not. I had a rare, bizarre, and expensive transfer case replacement done and was forced to pay out of pocket. Now, my check engine light has been flashing for about a month. It also started having a slight stutter or shudder in low speed acceleration. It hesitates or feels like I let off the gas for a split second even though I didn't. This happens everyday. I had the spark plugs replaced and that did not turn the flashing check engine light off. The service shop that installed the new spark plugs printed out an nhtsa recall bulletin on my vehicle for piston oil rings that may not have been properly heat treated which could result in engine damage. Consequences being damaged engines may stall and increase the risk of a crash. As well as oil leaks may leak on to hot exhaust components increasing the risk of a fire. Hyundai dealership and Hyundai corporate. Both say there are no open recalls on my exact vehicle. It is not included in this recall. I need the diagnostic process including knock test performed on this vehicle.

Yes my 2019 kona started sounding funny was having loss of power took it to have codes read it comes up as code p0011 which is timing issues bank 1 the next day went to start it and it would not even start have to have it towed to shop to find out there was absolutely no engine compression and will need a new engine I have had this car less than a year and still owe a balance of 12,000 and now stuck with a payment and no vehicle to drive and will cost upwards of 7000.00 to fix further investigation found open recall for the engine not being properly heated rings on the motor but my vin does not show mine to be affected so they will not cover the costs of replacing but it is the same year make and model ect. as the recall

I purchased my car [XXX]. I started experiencing hesitation with the car about a year and half. December 1, 2023 brought the car in because the check engine light had been on but was off by time I brought it in to the shop. They said there was a crack in the oil pan gasket. Resealed the oil pan. Brought car back in January 26, 2024 check engine light on. I asked if they could replace the throttle body because I took the car to a mechanic that I knew and he suggested they try replacing. Their notes stated idle air control filter and RPM higher than expected. Brought car in June 21, 2024 and asked if they could please look the car over before my 3 year warranty was up which the woman said would expire July 1, 2024. I stated the car was not taking off correctly when at a light there was hesitation the same problem as before and they always said there was not an issue when they test drove the vehicle. [XXX} I'm traveling up [XXX] at 72mph when my check engine light comes on, the car starts shaking and the speedometer dropped to 69 i got nervous and turned the hazards lights on. Had the car towed. February 10th find out the engine went now I'm at 105,000 miles and no warranty. I had called Matthew's Hyundai when I was at 95,000 miles and asked to speak with a manager to no avail I get a financial manager who tells me come on Caroline it's time to trade the car in. I had called to see if my car was still under a 100,000 mile warranty but never called back. He had a sales woman call me back that day and I decided not to return there. I had the car towed to another dealership where they said the engine was no good. On top of all this my oil would be unusually low. I dealt with Hyundai customer care my claim was denied due to high mileage. I had also found out recently that the 2019 Hyundai Kona had a recall on the engine. When I looked it up my car was experiencing what they described in the recall. I ended up accepting a used engine for $9,000 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was unaware of the 203 recall until 2 weeks ago. I took my car into the Dutch Miller Huntington WV dealership on May 5. Today is May 27th and I'm getting the car back with only an oil change. When I took my car in on May 5th- I reported ALL the symptoms of the 203 Recall. My car has reduced speed when accelerating or "boggs down", does not shift properly, idles hard at times, sometimes it doesnt start. On or around April 25th it died while driving, while in motion. Thankfully I had turned into a long driveway, but still, that was the straw that made me take it in. I reported these symptoms and more with no knowledge of the recall. My car failed the Ackison test (the specific engine noise test for this recall) initially and I was told I needed a new engine. Then the dealership was told to update their testing software, and surprise my car passed the test it originally failed. So now they wont replace the engine. They performed a multi point inspection on May 5 and my oil was marked as good, I have this documented. Then on May 22, I was told my oil was a little low and dark. They have changed the oil and are now sending me on my way in this KNOW unsafe car. I still have a warranty on this car too. PLEASE HELP?

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the front passenger’s door latch did not unlatch as intended. In addition, the passenger's side front door latch failed to unlock using the key. The contact had to exit the vehicle using the front driver's side door. The contact sustained anxiety issues due to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not diagnosed, and the vehicle was not repaired. The contact was required to pay a diagnostic fee to diagnose the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had previously occurred, and the contact was locked inside the vehicle for 45 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed trunk latch assembly. The contact was informed that the trunk latch assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, the contact was informed that the failure was due to a previous crash which caused damages to the trunk latch assembly. The contact stated the vehicle was not in a crash. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 10,228.

I had taken my vehicle for an oil change in June 2024 when I was advised that the oil level was very low so I had to sign a waiver that they would not be held liable if I have issues. Going forward we continued to check the oil level every 1-2 weeks and added it as needed. We never had any signs of where the oil was going or an oil light letting me know it was low. In November 2024 the motor started to surge or decline in power while driving. It also has times that the car would seize up for a few seconds which caused jerking. I’ve not had it serviced except for oil changes because I believe it will not be an easy fix and very expensive. Besides if I did have it looked at I know it would take an expert in piston rings or whatever other parts that are failing to cause it to consume high amounts of oil. Even though my car hasn’t been recalled yet it has many of the problems I see on this site for this make and model. I’m trying to make it 1 more month then decide if I should trade it in while it still runs at 115k miles.

1-The turn lights(right and left turn)died too quickly.i change my bulb every month .I went to independent service center and they told me the car must have some wrong wire that doesn't support bulb.Even if I change my bulb ,it doesn't take long and a warning signal come out and stated that I need to check my light.it is so annoying. This happened one year after I start driving the car. 2- The passenger seat is too low that you don't feel comfortable seating inside.It is not possible to bring it up.I went to the dealer but they wasn't at the same location anymore. 3- The windshield wipers fails to operate properly, component can't wipes properly.After one year driving the car i noticed that wipers are loosing their components. 3-Defective straps by passenger side,I noticed it when I start to give ride to a friend after a year owned this car. 4-My engine symbol is showing.I went to an independent center ,nobody can fix it . I sent the car to Hyundai ,they told me I have to spend $10000 to have the engine fix. I don't understand i was doing all my oil changes on time.now I have to drive this car with my engine light on.i am still fixing it but it is costing me too much.

While the engine was running on the highway or also at idle, it intermittently stalled out and all of the warning lights were displayed on the dash including a collision warning. You have to put the car in park and restart it even while on the highway causing a severe safety risk. It has been to Hyundai several times for diagnostic/repair and they have been unable to identify and correct the issue. Hyundai eventually replaced the computer for lack of any other option, but the issue persists. This week the check engine light was on permanently so I took it to Christian Bros for a diagnostic and they found several codes for crankshaft and camshaft issues and determined the engine is consuming oil. OIL CONSUMPTION is a known issue at Hyundai and the subject of recalls but my particular Kona VIN number is not identified as affected even though it absolutely is having the same exact issue as described in the other Kona's recalled. I am taking it back to Hyundai this week for another try at engine 100k warranty but I know they will reject my request. How do I get this issue covered under the existing OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL for my particular VIN being that I am a 2019 2.0L engine just like all the other 2019 Kona recalls? Why is my vin excluded? THis makes no sense.

On [XXX] I drove my Hyundai Kona from Louisville Ky to the Cincinnati area when my car started to stumble and I was able to pull off the highway in Florence, Ky. I tried to start the car but there was a very bad noise from the engine so I turned it off. I called the Hyundai service number and let them know what had happened. They had my car towed to a local Hyundai dealership. I was told by that dealership that my oil plug had fallen out and the engine seized. I had no indicator lights come on until the car lost power. The Hyundai dealership in Louisville has completed all my maintenance on my car since I bought it. I had my 50K maintenance done on [XXX} where my oil was changed. I was still under my mileage for an oil change. After talking with the local dealership they stated that my warranty will not cover the repairs and advised that teenagers have been vandalizing cars and that is likely what happened. They advised me to enter a claim with my car insurance company for vandalism. After researching this issue, I feel that this is a defect as the temperature that day was -5 and during my drive the oil pan expanded and the plug fell out. I had not seen any oil leaking from my vehicle until the engine seized. I am still working with the dealership but they are sticking to the vandal theory and that I will have to pay for the repair which they have estimated will be around 12K.

1. Driver’s side door locked up and it is impossible to unlock from the inside of the car manually or electrically. The door cannot be manually opened up from the outside OR the inside of the car. 2. My safety has been put at risk because of not being able to exit the car in case of an emergency. 3. Not yet. I have an appointment on 1/15/25 to get it looked at. 4. The car part has not been officially inspected by anyone yet. 5. No warning lamps appeared prior to this part failing.

On Christmas, Wednesday 25, 2024, my husband and son were in the car with the husband's driving and they heard a knocking sound as if going from the engine, and the car was losing power; there was no the "check engine sign" but it was remembered that few days before that there was the oil lamp sign lighting up for seconds and then disappearing, and also, the blind spot signal not working. So, we brought the car to our local mechanic, and he inspected the engine and said that the left back cylinder is broken. I called the Hyundai corporation and they advised to bring the car to the Hyundai repair shop- the car was then inspected in the shop - found some " lower rod bearing failure" but the Hyundai denied a Goodwill claim because of some maintenance neglect which has not been true - they had all our oil change receipts - I am the original owner - bought the car in finance and overall paid it off in 5 years - the car cost me 30K brand new- we were changing oil as soon as the message for the need to change oil would come up - every 5 - 5.5 K miles, all the records have been sent to the corporation, they have just said " neglect" out of the blue...They have denied the Goodwill engine replacement based on that falsely stated "neglect." I see there have been recalls for the oil ring piston issues in Konas including 2019 - for the engines 2.0L Nu MPI- the cylinders would start knocking from some overheat of the ring. Our engine is 1.6 GTI - but the engines are related, and our problem seems to be the same as in that 2.0L Nu MPI engine. Please, look for the similar cases for those Kona GTI Turbo engines for 2019- the one we have, seems that our Kona is fitting into the profile of those defected engines and the recalls like the one under the number 21V 301 203. Please, help!

My 2019 Kona seems to have the same o-rings that are in the hybrid model. It keeps stalling and losing oil consistently. This engine is no good and needs to be replaced!

It seems to be an issue with the camshaft and/or timing. It has a permanent diagnostic trouble code for p0017 and p0014 (two issues that they have claimed to have fixed twice now by replacing my engine). Due to this issue, I was stranded on the side of a busy road for multiple hours at night way back in March. This issue has been repeatedly “fixed” but the code readers keep showing it and the check engine light has never turned off. Hyundai of Danbury has looked at it multiple times and has replaced the engine twice in an attempt to fix it. However, both times I got engines with the same issue. Both times I brought it to a Hyundai Dealership to be fixed. There was no warning when my car broke down the first time. It just stopped in the middle of a busy road. No noise or smell or smoke. Once I got it towed to Danbury Hyundai, they replaced the engine (March 3 - April 24) and it started up again but the check engine light was on. It has been replaced twice and both times the light was on. It was replaced a second time between July 3rd and October 20th. I only have one car and needed friends and family to bring me to and from work (1 hour away) every day while the dealership worked on my car. A camshaft or timing issue should not take 5 months to fix.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle made an abnormal sound. Additionally, the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle made an abnormal knocking and clicking sound. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced engine hesitation intermittently, and the failure became permanent. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact had noticed that the oil level was significantly low, and the oil was significantly black at 500 miles after an oil change. The contact stated that on other occasions, the oil was significantly black while at the normal full. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 20 MPH uphill, the vehicle stalled and started rolling backwards. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle lost power steering and braking functionality, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle then slowly rolled back off the road and struck a small tree. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The vehicle was restarted after an hour and half. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving 10 MPH on another occasion and was able to restart after 15 minutes. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the fault codes were cleared; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where DTC: P0301 was retrieved. The dealer diagnosed that cylinder #1 had a misfire due to the valve cover gasket leaking oil into cylinder #1. The dealer determined that the valve cover gasket, the spark plugs, and the oil filter needed to be replaced. Additionally, the dealer recommended an engine restoration and fuel induction service. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

Sunroof on Hyundai Kona spontaneously exploded in cold weather driving on the freeway early in the morning after being parked in the warm garage overnight. Read about a class action lawsuit for Hyundai panoramic sunroofs but Kona is a standard sunroof; however, cases seem the same in terms of spontaneous explosion.

As I was driving home, my Kona started slowing down until it totally stopped. I tried the the gas pedal again but it didn’t move, electrical was on, no warning lights. I turned my Kona off, turned it back on again and drove the rest of way home. I was lucky I was on an empty road no other cars behind me as I drive everyday to and from work. I called Hyundai dealer next morning about the problem ,he did asked if I had heard a knocking sound. I said yes ,the week or so I heard a knocking sound twice but not for long, seemed to have disappeared. I didn’t want to drive the car to the dealer afraid it would stop on the highway so I had it towed. Service person said he would check if it is under warranty but there is no recall on my Kona.

One day after I filled my gas tank, I noticed a strong gasoline smell outside the car. The next morning, I noticed a huge puddle on the pavement under the fuel tank. At least a gallon of gasoline must have leaked out overnight while the car was parked. I also noticed that gasoline continued to drip down from the fuel tank to the ground. I then had the car towed to the mechanic and they discovered a crack in the mounting flange on the top of the plastic fuel pump. The car was not in a collision and there was no external force that could have caused the fuel pump to crack and leak.

In line with NHTSA recall notice 21V301000, affecting 2019 Hyundai Kona's for piston oil ring defects, I believe the Date of Manufacture (DoM) range should be extended. Currently, the recall notice indicates vehicles manufactured between 11/2/2018 and 9/1/2020 are impacted, however my vehicle, with the indicated VIN, was manufactured 10/31/2018, two days before the indicated start date on this recall notice. My vehicle has been experiencing many of the same indicated symptoms of the faulty piston oil ring, such as abnormal knocking/rattling from the engine during acceleration, hesitation and engine dying randomly (while in motion), and significant oil consumption (half of the engine's capacity in just 2-3K miles. Given the symptom matches and the fact that my vehicle's DoM is within 2 days of the indicated recall start point, I believe it should be included in the above mentioned recall notice.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle was losing motive power. The contact stated that the vehicle then stalled. The contact pulled over and waited approximately 20 minutes before restarting the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent but had occurred at various speeds. The contact stated that the check engine warning light only recently illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had to be taken for an oil change monthly. The contact stated that there was no indication of an oil leak on the driveway. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 117,000.

My engine seems to have failed due to bad oil piston rings and Hyundai/ the dealership refused to look at it for that and denied my claim. Almost 3 weeks ago, my check engine light came on after (solid) after getting gas. It was running fine and I had an oil change appointment that Saturday so it should be good (I had a coupon expiring, so I was taking it in like 400 miles early for it's oil change). The car started losing a little bit power throughout the week- it didn't have the get up and go it usually does. On Saturday, first thing in the morning, on my way to my 8 am oil change, my car started a little rough (it had never done that before). I drive like 5 miles, then all of a sudden my car stutters, 2 blocks later dies, it restarted fine, but made a horrible noise. I drove it the block to the oil change place and my car was completely out of oil. No oil light ever came on and I have never been less than a quart (more than acceptable) at an oil change. There was no visible oil leak in my parking spot. It was towed to the dealership and the engine is blown. There has never been any visible oil leak and I have all records on carfax imputed by the mechanics.

My vehicle starting stalling when driving at low speeds. It goes completely idle, I have to put it in park and restart the car. This happens when I am turning, have to slow down for traffic, etc. No engine light came on when this first started happening a few months ago, but now an engine light has popped on. It is available for inspection.

Transmission need to be replaced.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was almost rear-ended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The contact was advised to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact stated that an oil consumption test was completed; however, the contact stated that the vehicle was in worse condition. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 36,500.

engine light began flashing while driving. Stopped vehicle and turned off engine. Vehicle would not restart. Mechanic says there is no compression and I need a new engine. I contacted the manufacturer who advised my engine was subject to recall but since I am a second owner and the first owner did not get the engine replaced there is nothing I can do.

Driving on the highway [XXX] ) during rain. Traffic moving stop and go slow. Before I knew what had happened, my car hit the back bumper of a Chevy Suburban. My car gave no auto warning, the windshield wipers barely worked, and I believe the electric systems had stopped. Radio and air-conditioning. [XXX] My car bumper and grill were messed up. And I received pain in my right shoulder. The Suburban had a trailer hook-up jammed inside my front bumper grill; my vehicle received all the damage. The other driver's vehicle had no harm. My vehicle damage to the car was over a thousand dollars. And I was left with a shoulder injury. Car insurance paid for the damage to my 2019 Hyundai Kona SUV's all-wheel drive, with me paying a portion. After work was completed, all the electrical systems, including air conditioning, lights, wipers, and radio, didn't work. Fuse work was checked and found, but no power was getting into the system to operate functions that required electricity. The car started up, but the side lights but not the front lights, air conditioning, and the issue of tight steering now. The car tech stated they only installed a new bumper, and the grill did not work on the areas that are now not working. Tech said the lights and wipers were working but are not working now. Driving the vehicle will be limited based on these issues. The fuses appear good, but no power is getting into the box that powers the various items that are not working. I believe this car is a Lemon, and the dealership was aware of these issues and never told me the car had recalls. According to the internet, the tech who replaced my bumper stated that these issues are what the 2019 Hyundai Kona vehicle. Today (7-22-24), I drove my car from the auto shop with a new bumper and with hesitation and fear because the wipers and lights were not working, the air conditioning was out, and it is about to rain. The tech stated they were working earlier but are not working now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have two Hyundai vehicles one is a 2018 Tucson and a 2019 Kona. They both broke down at precisely the same time at 109,000 miles. One was the catalytic converter dealership was going to charge $5,000 for repair found a less expensive place to do it for $2,000. i was told by several of the mechanics at both places that it was a common problem. My point is I just paid the vehicle off it was just out of warranty then your stuck with it. Dealership just shrugged it off as maybe you should buy a new vehicle. The second vehicle Kona had some catalytic damage but not enough to replace the crankshaft positioning sensor failed caused the car to basically shut down on the roadway all of the ADAS systems failed. Again dealership was going to charge $2,000 found aftermarket place to do for $1,000. I'm sure nothing can be done for me but I feel it should be documented if people in the industry are telling me this is a familiar occurrence then maybe someone should look into it.

My check engine lights come on and then the front collision lights come on which reduces speed while on highway and then the engine turns off making it very unsafe driving on the highway. I have tried to schedule appts with dealerships to have it checked telling them how unsafe it is and I need my car to get to work. But they never have any openings except months down the road. I am afraid it will cause a terrible accident. I have taken my vehicle to repair shops ... some said it was the spark plugs so I got them changed and other maintenance costing me over $800 and the problem still exists ... still trying to get an appt with the dealership which will cost me another $220 just to get it diagnosed. There need to be a recall if it's happening to alot of people. I am very afraid if this issue isn't fixed and it's gonna cost me to repair it in the thousands that I don't have. Someone is going to get into a bad accident because the engine will turn off while driving.

My car is having problems due to excessive oil consumption. I took it to the dealership to get it fixed and tested for the recall. They said the recall had nothing to do with it. Took it to another mechanic for a diagnostic, the other mechanic stated that the excessive oil consumption was caused by recall that they didn't fix, and it can be stopped by getting the recall fixed.

Headlights do not project far enough in front of vehicle to safely drive at dark or low light conditions. Hyundai told us there is nothing they can do to fix it as it is a defect in how the headlight housing is placed on the body of the car.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH up an incline, the vehicle started losing motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the cylinder #3 spark plug. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who then determined that there was a misfire in cylinder #3. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine) but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.

The contact owned a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while stopped at an intersection, he observed smoke emanating from the engine compartment. The vehicle was steered into a parking lot where he opened the hood and he observed flames coming from the engine. A police report was filed. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was taken to a salvage lot. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 46,000.

The rear passenger side door and trunk were unable to be opened resulting in a problem getting my children out of the back seat. The locks would not open with the fob or manually. If I were to get into an accident, I/emergency personnel would have not been able to get my children that are in a car seat out quickly as they would have to either go through the front seat or cut the door off. The car dealership did replace components on 04/27/24 and it has been working as it should as of this time of reporting.

While driving the vehicle the warning light went on and suddenly there was a loss of power on the highway. The vehicle was brought to our local mechanic who ran a diagnostic test and the NTSB recommendation for engine replacement DTC P1327 came up. He advised the vehicle go to the dealer, which we did. It has been at the dealer for 5 weeks. When the recall 22-EM-008H was done, they did not do the recommended engine test in 2023. The recall also had them do something in the computer to give owners a warning if there was any knocking sensed in the engine. That warning system failed to work because the light came on when the engine seized. The dealer said they see a couple of these cars a week with the same issue and Hyundai refuses to take ownership of the issue that prompted the recall. They denied us saying it was out of warranty when the recall was not issued until the car was about 4 years old. Most people would be out of warranty, especially because the 100K warranty doesn't apply to secondary owners which I was never aware of until now. I bought the car in 2020 about a year after production. Everyone you speak to at Hyundai doesn't understand English and at the bottom of the recall it states to submit a prior approval if the affected part is out of warranty for a goodwill consideration but they deny all of them due to out of warranty which doesn't make any sense as to why there would be a prior approval process for out of warranty claims for good will if they are not going to ever do a goodwill repair. They also do not give you to a person that can listen to what you are trying to tell them that can understand what goodwill means and explain why they did not do the engine repair or replacement when they discovered they had engines out there with the potential to fail. This is not right what they are doing. Many other models have the same issue and the warranty was extended to 15/150k but this one has not been added to that and it should be.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she heard an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment, after which the vehicle lost motive power. The low oil and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

car kept stalling and electrical system was off ..

See attached document for complaint

My rear passenger door and trunk will not unlock. The rear passenger door will not unlock from the inside or via the key fob. This puts my child at risk in the back seat by not allowing them to exit the vehicle. The dealer states that the door lock mechanism has to be rebuilt. This sounds like a manufacturer safety problem. My concern is that this could happen to all of the doors on the car. Which is an enormous safety concern.

11 days after purchasing the vehicle it began shutting completely off in the middle of me driving it, losing all power for no reason I could see and would not turn on for a considerable amount of time. I brought the vehicle back to the dealership on 6 separate occasions, one of the times my car stayed at Jenkins Hyundai for 12 weeks while they tried to find the issue. Finally, it was towed to a Hyundai dealership in Valdosta, GA who kept it for 2 weeks and found two electrical shorts under the front bumper. After this repair it stopped losing power randomly but I still experienced electrical surges, flickering, and consistently blown lightbulbs. It was brought back to my dealership I bought from after this but they claimed nothing was wrong, so I gave up trying. I don't feel like my issues were ever taken seriously and I am now stuck with this vehicle.

I took my car to Hyundai due to the rear spoiler squeaking on warm days. Sounded like it was rubbing plastic on plastic. The dealership wanted $200 to just look at what the problem might be. I couldn't afford that. I went home and researched how to look into it my self. I removed the interior top trim piece and 3 locking nut/washer combos fell out of the trim piece. Only 5 nuts hold the spoiler in place and the 2 other nuts were loose. My spoiler could have fallen off at anytime. Only reason I thought to check for this after I got home was someone mentioned the same problem on another Hyundai Vehicle. This clearly is a problem. They are not adding any liquid lock or something to prevent this from happening. I am very good at working on cars, what if the next person isn't and they can't afford to pay to have the spoiler looked at and it falls off. Only thing left that would hold it on would be a brake light wire and the washer hose. I'm not sure if this is a wide spread problem, but if mine can come off driving it daily. I imagine their could be a bunch of spoilers loose and nobody realizes it.

I was driving my car and then the engine light started blinking then my car made a funny noise I came home and put the scanner on it and code P1327 came up and freeze frame came up

Throughout the last six months the car was stalling occasionally. The car would stall when accelerating after a stop. My local dealer replaced the starter coils and changed the oil. When the problem repeated, it was discovered the engine is burning oil. In fact approximately 6 weeks since the last oil change in November 2023, the engine needed another 3 quarts of oil. My local mechanic diagnosed the problem. He said the piston rings are inferior causing the engine to burn oil prematurely. So, I monitor the oil level weekly. I spoke to Hyundai America and they refuse to acknowledge the problem. The engine started stalling at approximately 80,000 to 90,000 miles ago. Both my wife and myself were almost rear-ended.

While driving the car, the engine stalls and I'm no longer able to accelerate, despite pressing the gas pedal. I'm able to turn and brake. When this happens, the check engine, oil, and battery lights come on. It is sometimes accompanied by a grinding/banging sound. In order to get my car running again, I have to park it somewhere safe, turn it off, and turn it back on. This is difficult to do on a highway or when surrounded by a lot of traffic. This started occurring in November 2022 and has happened many times since then.

We were driving on the interstate when suddenly the check engine light began flashing and the engine began to lose power. We were able to coast to a safe location to pull off, but had it not been Christmas day and there was more traffic, the situation would have been much more dangerous. Once pulled over we shut off the engine. Upon trying to restart the vehicle it would not start up again. After having it towed to a repair shop they stated the engine had pieces of metal throughout and would need to be replaced. It appeared to be a failure of the piston rings.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. The contact was able to coast off to the side of the roadway and attempted to restart the vehicle. After several attempts the contact stopped and waited for approximately 30 minutes and was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to an unknown dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. The VIN was unavailable.

For about a month, the car is pausing for a second or two during acceleration. The car was brought for service to Great Lakes Hyundai of Columbus (Ohio) on 12/19/2023.

The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

The paint is peeling right now.

car shut down while driving, would not turn back on. My safety was put at risk when I was driving on the highway and my car shut off 3 times without warning. I noticed rapid oil consumption, and now my engine has seized.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that upon purchase of the vehicle, she was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine). The contact was referred to a dealer for assistance. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was not under recall; however, the dealer performed a vibration test which the vehicle passed. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact linked the failure to the previous recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 63,819.

Driving at highway speed 65MPH, the car stalled and slowed down, not moving forward when pressing the gas. No dash indicators were present. I pulled to the side of the highway, turned the car off, and turned it back on. The check engine and oil indicator came on, and the engine began to smoke. The engine temperature was normal. I immediately turned the car back off and called a tow truck. I waited for about two hours for the tow truck, and multiple times, my car was almost struck by traffic coming from behind. I was pulled off the road as far as I could go without going into the ditch. When the tow truck driver came, I got the tow tools from the back. There was sticky dark residue all over the back hitch, getting on my hands and clothes. When the tow truck driver got to the mechanic, oil was *pouring* out of the bottom. The bed of tow truck was covered in oil. Mechanic stated that oil drain plug was missing, but it had been 3000 miles since my oil change was performed by them, and there were zero signs of it not being tightened enough. No oil leaking at any time in the last 3000 miles. Car was at mechanic 200 miles prior for nail in tire, and no oil leaking at that time either. They are denying responsibility, and have paperwork to show they did oil change correctly. At no point in the last 3000 miles did a dash indicator come on for check engine or oil.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle experienced excessive oil consumption and while driving the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who stated that the engine was faulty, and the top of the engine and part of the engine lubricated by the engine oil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was previously inspected under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced that failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 55,000. The contact stated the repairs were made at the tune of $1885, but would like to know if the damage done to the vehicle was in relation to oil ring not being replaced as part of the recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH in heavy traffic, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and turned into a service station however, the vehicle stalled again and was unable to be restarted. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to her residence. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

Camshaft pin sheared with 66,000 miles leading to severe engine damage and expense. No known cause but consistent with many online reports of engine issues with this make and model year. Vehicle was well-maintained prior to the incident. No warning lights present until after engine damage occurred.

After the recall was corrected, the engine light came on two months later. I noticed the car will not accelerate and now will not start. The engine rumbles on the occasion that it does start.

The car used extremely amounts of oil yet showed no signs of a leak and the car would shut off randomly while driving. Took it to the first dealership and they refused to acknowledge any problem while we had it towed into them. They had it for 2 months and we showed them problems noted about faulty piston rings in these cars. They made us take the car back and we continued to drive it with the extremely dangerous issue of shut downs with the car and still heavy oil usage. We took it to an independent mechanic who stated scored cylinders due to oil problems from bad rings then towed it to a different dealership that also stated same and recommended engine replacement. Hyundai is refusing the dealer’s recommendations even though these cars are noted as having these problems and yes each time the engine light comes on. Extremely dangerous to continue to drive this car. Car is still at San Tan Hyundai in Gilbert Az for second week waiting for approval of necessary recall repair have also contacted Hyundai corporate and they deny any problems with this car. We first took this car into dealer 2021 now we have it back with continuous problems

I took my car to the dealership to have the campaign 200 recall fixed. When my vehicle was there, they found that the battery needed to be replaced, however found that there was "front end damage to the battery" and it would fall on me as the owner to replace the battery, and once the battery was replaced, they would fix the recall. (Which replacing the battery would fix in the first place). My issue is, there is no alert on my dashboard or on the app that shows that there are zero diagnostic trouble codes. My concern is that if the battery has such significant damage, there should be some type of alert or warning with this occurring. Also the fact that there is a recall that requires a battery replacement and suddenly damage is noticed on the battery. Unfortunately, it seems that Hyundai is not willing to honor their warranty and "found" a way to blame me as the owner.

While driving at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly shifts to a lower gear, slowing it down violently enough to knock items out of the cupholder. It then displays an warning light and refuses to accelerate. The only way to fix the problem is to turn over and shut down the car to reset everything.

Engine light turned on, was told by dealer to keep driving on it unless engine light was blinking or the car started driving differently. Made a right turn and during the turn the vehicle shut off in the roadway. Brought car to dealer, dealer stated the car was low on oil and that was the reasoning, the car was not due for its routine maintenance yet for the oil. Oil was changed. Engine light came on four more times after that and each time was another reason. Within the month I was told it was the oil, a sensor, and then the ignition coil.

Oil consumption!! No low oil lamp!! Just cuts off. Then there is no oil. The engine can blow up and catch fire!! Having a oil consumption test now. First 1000 miles it's already burned half quart!!

The turbo. When you accelerate the RPMs go high up to 4 and the car will barely move. Had it repaired (under warranty). But few months later, happening again. This is a scary situation as the car behind you almost rear ends you if you are at a light, making a turn, etc..

Chatter or transmission slips from full stop only when engine reaches operating temperature. Does not seem to happen when cold. Vehicle was serviced by Hyundai dealership and said it could be a software fix. They updated software but still have problem. My brother was an auto mechanic and suggested the problem could be related to the transmission oil pump and or defective parts associated with clutch..

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V301000 (Engine). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer for the recall repair. The vehicle was inspected, and no repairs were needed at the time. The contact stated on January 1, 2023, while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving to his destination. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed there was no oil in the engine. Additionally, the contact was informed that the timing chain and engine needed to be replaced. The mechanic performed an oil change. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the timing chain and engine replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

This is my 2nd Hyundai Kona - the first had slippage in the DCT (dual clutch transmission) which the dealer adjusted for me. It continued to happen if I accelerated quickly and was part of the reason I traded it in. The second had no issues until 115k miles at which point the DTC smelled bad once, then sounded bad the next day. I called the dealer and made an appointment to have it inspected/evaluated and it died minutes later, before I got it to them. Online forums state that while there has been no recall issued yet, the Konas with the 1.6l turbo are susceptible to DCT issues, particularly in the 2019s and that several dealers are replacing parts free of charge when the vehicle is in for maintenance. Because mine exceeds the 100k warranty, I am being told that I will need to pay for the repairs. This is my only complaint about an otherwise fantastic automobile!

Engine burn oil excessively about 1.5 quarts every 5000 miles. Car has roughly 60000 miles.

Rad bearing defect. Engine needs to be replaced.

Vehicle is burning oil at a rapid pace. Vehicle could catch fire or stall out due to the burning oil inside the engine. Problem is consistent with adding oil regularly in between changes. Vehicle has not been inspected, but will be in the near future. No warning lamps, but oil dip stick is always low

The contact’s mother owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while her mother was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that her mother was able to restart the vehicle; however, while driving at an undisclosed speed, she depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle stalled again. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Vehicle only has 30000 miles was driving on the highway. When the engine started making a loud clapping, tapping noise pulled of the exit and the car totally turned off. So I thought the starter failed. But after further inspection saw that a metal rod from inside the engine broke through and sheared off the cables behind the starter as well.. its the same description that other kona owners with the 2.0L version describe " catastrophic engine failure " same noise same everything but I owe the 1.6L version. In the photos you see the back of the starter and the cut cables to the left of the pic. And to the right rear of the pic you see the sheared metal rod that broke through the engine. And cut the cables that go into the starter.... We were going to the hospital to see my son when it happened. He was in the hospital for 1yr since then he has passed. I finally was able to send in my car to the dealership. Where it has been for the last 4 1/2 months with no resolve.

while driving, oil began to pour into the exhaust system and the engine stopped starting

Check engine light came on, then went away. Check engine light came on 2 months later, then went away. Car completely dead 1 month later without any dashboard lights warning anything. Replaced battery and car died again 1 month after installing new battery. After jumping the car, alternator test read 12 at local repair shop.

Driving down the highway going about 65 mph, I get a quick warning that flashed on my screen about the blindspot collision warning, too quick to actually read. Then the car jolts like I hit a giant pot hole, which I haven't, and the gears on my car drop and I am unable to accelerate or change gear until I pull over and turn the car off. This issue has occurred over 5 times and has been reported to Hyundai every time, with no success in getting the issue fixed and it keep occurring. Happened again today friving home on the highway, and now my check engine light is on.

1: car stopped abruptly without vehicle lights or warnings , stopped while driving 39 mph without any warning. 2: car engine smoking -fire d/y motor seize and oil leaking 3: motor seized piston bore hole in engine block appears to be of concern with other vehicles same year same model unsafe vehicle

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Kona. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated during acceleration and a burning odor was detected.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.

The vehicle has started stalling about a week ago. It will just stop and all the lights go on for motor and oil and everything else. There’s a sound as well that seems to be from the engine. This is scary. It tends to be happening during slower traffic. I commute with children and this is not ok. Some of this model have been recalled for the same issue. I believe it’s irresponsible that no one has bothered to contact owners of this model. So we figure out the problem and then something is done. Not ok. It has happened at least 9 times today. I’m scared for my safety and that of my children that commute with me to the city daily on weekdays and at times weekends too.

Your website states I am not in a recall but indeed I have been under recall 302, now 974, and another one currently. The dealers have lied and falsified records. My new Kona with less than 31000 miles is burning more than a qt of oil weekly on average, knocks loudly, looses power, and now I'm finding burnt labels on the booster vac lines. The dealer states I was under recall 203 in 2020 for "vibration inspection" ABSOLUTELY NOT I was seen for recall 203 bad piston rings with less than 12k miles. Now for the SECOND time I'm told it's not safe nor advisable by Hyundai to park my vehicle in my driveway or garage due to fire risks of my car. The car is worth 30-45% lower value than retail due to issues. Hyundai has lied non stop, the dealers have lied non stop, and no one cares. I also have over 5k in wrap warranties that are not valid anymore due to abnormal oil consumption and the dealer will not allow me to remove the packs. It's all BS Now involved in a rear end collision not at fault. Hit at 40mph at a dead stop. It destroyed the rear collision system and bars as well as sensors but not one air bag deployment or safety feature. Almost 8k in repair and over 3 weeks in shop. In one of the safest vehicles nationaly

IN THE LAST WEEK MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING...THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THEY CANT GET ME IN UNTIL FRIDAY...NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL ARE COMING ON...I FEEL COMPLETELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE DEALERSHIP DONT CARE...

When I purchased my Hyundai Kona I was over the moon excited. It checked all or the boxes for me and my family. Now I live in fear every single day that the ongoing car theft in my area is going to flip my entire world upside emotionally and financially. I want to know what Hyundais solution is to support the families that put trust in them when purchasing a vehicle from them.

As the reported recall has described, the engine in my 2019 Kona failed on November 6th, 2021. The dealership (Hyundai) has not repaired my vehicle and has had my vehicle in their possession since that date. I was denied a loaner vehicle due to inavailability. Hyundai has made minimal progress on repair despite the federal recall. Does the NHSTA require Hyundai to act within a certain time frame to have repairs effected once it's been identified and the problem has occurred? Can you help?

My vehicle was stolen in November of 2021, (many have been in Milwaukee). I had a steering wheel lock (they had broken the back rear window in April 2021 in a thwarted attempt to steal, and the police recommended this), and the vehicle was parked under security cameras. They broke the window, disabled the ignition and took it for a ride and crashed it. My vehicle repair has not been completed due to the high volume of thefts, and delay by insurance companies making claims. It is now February 8, 2022.

After I had the car for about 10 months, the front collision warning system light came on while I was driving 65mph. There was a huge jolt, as if I'd hit something large and metal, and the engine revved as if stuck. I pulled over and found nothing in the road. It was terrifying, and I can't imagine it's safe to have this keep happening. This has happened numerous times now, at different speeds and in all types of weather, and sometimes accompanied by the blind spot collision warning system light. The dealership has kept my car many times, trying to replicate the problem, which they did-once. They replaced the camera and tcu. The car worked fine for a while, but the problem returned, and again, the dealership could not replicate or fix it. I have seen this problem mentioned on Hyundai forums, and it seems we're all having the same experiences with dealerships finding and fixing the issue. I turn the FCW system off every time I start the car, but now the BSCW (which I have also turned off) is coming on and jolting the car. Both warning systems have done this too many times to count at this point. I can't afford a new car and am scared to drive my Kona, but don't have a choice. This is not right and I do not feel safe in this car.

My 20year old daughter had gone to a dealership to get her first vehicle and they have her a recalled vehicle without knowing about it. She was financed a 2019 Hyundai Kona with a high monthly fee. She was told the vehicle had no issues but then 3 days ago (1/26/22) we received a call regarding recall from the dealer. The dealership called with the manager apologizing profusely and stating that they were unaware of recall from (4/2021) and that the vehicle should not have been allowed for sale / finance/ lease. They said it was a big mistake. They told us that because they are not the manufacturer, we had to take it to the a Hyundai dealership. She took it yesterday (1/27/22) and they said to bring it back on Monday to fix despite the danger‍♀️. They refused to even provide a rental car for free.

I was driving the vehicle. All of a sudden, all the lights went out on the vehicle. This includes the instrumentation panel, interior lights, brake lights, etc. I drove the car to a safe location and stopped the engine. I then restarted the car and everything started normally.

Car will stall while driving, coming to a stop and slowing down. Loud clanking and knocking noise in engine, massive oil consumption, engine light illuminated, bad acceleration then stalling, rough idle and stalls while backing up. I am terrified of driving this car and it stalls when turning and coming to a stop or just slowing down. I can smell oil burning and no one at hyndai wants to help me at all. Driving it out of the dealership when I had it checked for the recall and it died 2 times. I am going to lose everything I have worked for all because this car is not working properly. Dealership allowed me to drive away knowing the car stalls while driving and wanted me to pay for another engine diagnostic test even though they stated they did one.this makes no sense and I am severely frustrated!!! I will never buy another hyundai!!!

I was in a bad wreck on November 15th 2021 about 8pm I have pictures of car and air bags did not deploy was wondering because I thought as much damage they should have

Speedometer is not measuring correctly to the actual speed of car. Was actually driving about 15 mph faster than found on the analog gauge without knowing. The dealer confirmed that speedometer was reading 15 MPH under the actual speed of the car. Do not now if the car component was inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance or others. There was no warning presented by the car of the defect. Only that my son told me that according to the digital speed signs on the street we were going to fast. the car was turned in for repair of speedometer R.O.

Yesterday my car, Hyundai Kona 2019, stalled out for no reason while the vehicle was in motion. There were no warning signs on the panel. I change the oil regularly, but the car keeps burning oil very quickly before the next planned oil change, however, I never have any warning signs that my oil level is low. I could have gotten into an accident, and now I am afraid of driving because the car can stall at any moment, and cause an accident. The manufacturing company doesn't s solve this problem in a timely manner!

CAR LOST SPEED ON GOING UPHILL. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING RELATED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS RECALL. THE LENGTH OF TIME IT HAS TAKEN TO REPAIR AND THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO REPAIR THESE PISTON RINGS.

I brought my car to the Pride Hyundai dealership in Lynn, MA on Friday, 7/30. They confirmed that I need a new engine and still have my car and Hyundai corporate has not gotten back to them. I am elderly and a one car family and I have no car. I also do not want to drive the car until it is fixed.

I was notified of a recall by Carfax on May 9th, 2021. On May 10th, 2021, I took my vehicle to Lehigh Valley Hyundai in Pennsylvania. I have been back and forth trying to get in contact with my case manager and he has not responded as to what is going on with my vehicle. It is now July 5th and there is still no remedy for my car. My car has been in the shop almost 2 months now.

From mid-May, my wife noticed the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminate on the dashboard. The MIL light would intermittently illuminate and not display at times. 1) In June, I went on Hyundai's website using my log on account to request for service. A specific date was requested but not response was provided. 2) on June 17 at 10:39 AM HST, I called Hyundai Service center and a left a message to request service for the MIL issue. 3) on June 18 at 08:52 AM HST, I called Hyundai Service center and a left a message to request service for the same issue. On July 05, 2021 , I just opened a letter from Hyundai for an important Safety recall regarding our vehicle involving defective piston oil rings that could result in abnormal knocking or stalling. I believe this is a serious issue that needs immediate attention, however, we are unable to receive any service here. My wife at this time is very afraid to drive the vehicle unless this issues is resolved. Please advise us what steps can be taken from NHTSA. The service level for Hyundai is extremely poor , at this point we want to somehow terminate our lease . Best Regards

While slowing down car would make a whining sound and eventually started grinding. Car also stalled and died while coming to a stop. After that unable to drive or move the car in neutral.

DURING REGULAR DRIVING THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, WILL NOT ACCELERATE AND STALLS OUT COMPLETELY. AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP BUT NOTHING SEEMED WRONG. WITHIN A SIX MONTH PERIOD IT AGAIN OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WAS OBSERVED WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THE SECOND TIME LAST NIGHT THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THE ENGINE HAS LITTLE TO NO COMPRESSION. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS FROM HYNDAI

VEHICLE STALLS WITH A/C RUNNING ON TURNS. IT IS INTERMITTENT ISSUE. BY PUTTING VEHICLE BACK IN NEUTRAL VEHICLE RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENS NORMALLY IN HOTTER WEATHER. CALLED DEALER AND TAKEN VEHICLE IN AND CAN NOT DUPLICATE. SO NO FIX. THIS IS A 2019 HYUNDAI KONA WITH 19,500 MILES. OTHERS ON HYUNDAI WEBSITE OWNERS CLUB HAVE SAME ISSUES. HYUNDAI IS NOT A BAD COMPANY. BUT THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE ISSUES IF SO MANY OF US ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES. DOESN'T SEEM TO BE RELATED TO THE ENGINE OPTIONS HAPPENS WITH BOTH ENGINE OPTIONS.

AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT I PRESSED MY BRAKE PEDALS I FELT A SHUDDER THROUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MY CAR DIED. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN A SHORT. OF TIME. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN A SHORT. OF TIME I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WAS VERY DISCONCERTING I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET IT BACK HOME.

A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES AFTER PURCHASING A NEW KONA, I HAD STARTED HAVING ACCELERATION ISSUES GOING FROM A DEAD STOP INTO FIRST GEAR .AS THE CAR STARTS TO GO, THIS IS UNDER 5 MPH, THE CAR THEN HESITATES AS IF SOMEONE IS HITTING THE BRAKES. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS. IT IS A SPORADIC ISSUE. I HAVE HAD IT INTO HYUNDAI 3X NOW FOR THIS. ALL 3 X HYUNDAI STATES THEY CAN NOT REPAIR UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHILE TEST DRIVING . OF COURSE THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. SO THEY HAVE " RESET" MY DRIVING COMPUTER 2X HOPING IT WILL STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY KONA OWNERS OUT THERE DOCUMENTING THIS ISSUE ON BLOGS. I HAVE 3 SERVICE REPORTS CLAIMING THERE IS AN ISSUE, BUT IT IS NOT BEING FOUND. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HYUNDAI TO OPEN A CASE REPORT. I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE NHTSA T WITH HOPES OF EITHER RESOLVING THIS ISSUE OR BRING LIGHT TO A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FROM HYUNDAI.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HYUNDAI KONA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIA HYUNDAI ALBANY LOCATED AT (945 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY 12205) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE A PICTURE WHEN THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT ATTEMPTING TO TAKE A PICTURE WHILE DRIVING SHOULD THE FAILURE RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AT ABOUT 8300 MILES I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN. TOOK TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. 1ST VISIT THEY WERE CLOSED DUE TO POWER OUTAGE. 2ND TRIP. MECHANIC COULDN'T HEAR NOISE. HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC ALONG. HAD TO PLAY A VIDEO I RECORDED ON MY CELL PHONE. MECHANIC PULLS BACK INTO SHOP. HALF HOUR LATER, I GET TOLD THEY HAD TO ORDER A STEERING COLUMN. CAR NOW HAS JUST OVER 8600 MILES. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A BAD BEARING. CAN BE HEARD PARKED AND TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT. *TR

THE CAR BREAKS DOES NOT GET APPLIED INTERMITTENTLY, I HAD A FORWARD COLLISION. THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE / WARNING DID NOT WORK. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A BUSY STREET WITH SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THE BREAK DID NOT GET APPLIED, THE FIRST TIME THE ROAD AHEAD WAS CLEAR.

DELAYS IN ACCELERATION, NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE WILL JUST REV THE ENGINE LIKE ITS IN NEUTRAL. ACCELERATION DELAYS VERY SCARY WHEN MERGING, ACCELERATING FROM FULL STOP AND PASSING. BOUGHT APRIL 2019.

WHEN I COME TO A SLIGHT UPHILL INCLINE, SLOW DOWN WITHOUT FULLY STOPPING, AND THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPM BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD AT A RAPID PACE. IT SEEMS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN BETWEEN GEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION THEN SUDDENLY REALIZES THAT IT NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AND THEN WILL ACCELERATE USUALLY AT A FAST PACE. THE FEELING IS THAT OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED WHILE THE ENGINE IS AT A HIGHER RPM. MY CAR HAS THE TRADITIONAL 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC AND NOT THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE TECH STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS WORKING FINE AND THERE WERE NO NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

UPON COLLISION (FRONT END) AT ABOUT 35 MPH THE VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES AND CONTINUED TO BURN UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP. IN ADDITION, THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM. DRIVER'S CLAVICLE WAS FRACTURED AND DISPLACED UPON IMPACT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HYUNDAI KONA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM SUDDENLY ACTIVATED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ABRUPTLY SLOW DOWN. ALSO, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATED AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN SWITCHING TO THE DRIVE POSITION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. JIM BURKE HYUNDAI (4445 13TH ST NORTH, BIRMINGHAM, AL) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WHEN LEAVING HOME THE VEHICLE HAD LITTLE ACCELERATION AND POOR SHIFTING. TOOK TOO MUCH TIME MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM CLEARED UP AS IT HAD DONE BEFORE. DROVE TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. OBDII CODE READ P0193.

LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION WHEN GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED WHILE IN MOTION. LOSS OF POWER WOULD SUDDENLY OCCUR. TRANSMISSION WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT PROPERLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE SINCE NEWLY PURCHASED MAY 31, 2019. FUEL INJECTOR WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE.

CAR AT TIMES WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS AFTER ACCLERATER IS PUSH.

STARTUP AND DRIVING FOR 15 MINUTES BCW WARNING SYSTEM DISABLED RADAR BLOCKED MESSAGE COMES ON, YIELD SIGN WITH EXCLAIMATION POINT COMES ON, AND THE BUTTON THAT TURNS THE SYSTEM ON/OFF LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL GOES OUT ERROR STAYS APPROX 20-25 MINUTES AND THEN RESETS ITSELF PULLING OFF ROAD, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WILL ALSO CLEAR THE ERROR, WE HAVE WIPED AND CLEANED BUMPER AND SENSOR AREAS, HAVE HAD CAR INTO 2 DEALERSHIPS, THEY SAY SYSTEM IS OPERATING AS IT SHOULD, CAN NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM. THIS ERROR HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR (EARLY MORNING , I HAVE NOT HAD IT HAPPEN AT OTHER TIME, ALTHOUGH HUSBAND HAS TWICE.DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT SOME KIND OF RADAR IS INTERFERRING, OR THE SYSTEM TURNS OFF WHEN IT HASNT DETECTED ANOTHER CAR IN THE MIRRORS AFTER 10 MINUTES. MY QUESTION IS, THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE, WHY WOULD IT JUST TURN ITSELF OFF? OTHER THINGS I HAVE NOTICED ARE, IF PULLING OFF ROAD WHEN ERROR OCCURS, AND GOING INTO MENU TO CHANGE ANY CAR SETTINGS, THE BCW FEATURE IS COMPLETELY MISSING FROM THE MENU WHEN THE ERROR IS ON. AND ALSO THE BUTTON TO THE LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL WHICH TURNS SYSTEM ON/OFF. ( IN THE DARK) YOU CAN SEE IT "BLINKING IN A CONSISTANT FASHION. WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO "FAIL/ SEND THE ERROR CODE, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BUTTON IS NO LONGER "BLINKING" ( YOU CAN ONLY TAKE NOTICE OF THE BUTTON BLINKING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN ITS DARK OUT. REPORTED MY PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO HYUNDAI IN CALIFORNIA, THEY CLOSED CASE BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS COULDNT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. LIKEWISE THEY WILL NOT TAKE BUMPER OFF, CHECK SENSORS OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN CAN NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM, THEY ARE DONE, NOT PULLING BUMPER OFF/ETC HYUNDAI WONT REIMBURSE THEM.GOOGLE PROBLEM, BEEN HAPPENING ON HYUNDAI MODELS SINCE 2015, WITHOUR A FIX, AND THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE? NO OTHER CAR I HAVE DRIVEN WITH A BCW SYSTEM HAS DONE THIS IN AREA IM IN 15 MIN AFTER STARTUP

2019 HYUNDAI KONA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO SPEED LIMITS, DOES NOT ALARM, DOES NOT DISPLAY PICTURES, AND DOES NOT APPLY ANY BRAKING FORCE TO AVOID A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. *JS

ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN YOU STEP ON GS PEDAL THE CAR DOES NOT GO FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS,VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING HIGHWAY IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC.ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ACT OR SOUND FUNNY JUST SEEMS LIKE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT KNOW GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN PUSHED.HAPPENS ONLY WHEN YOU STOP TO TURN AND START TO GO AGAIN ON STREET OR HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO RICK CASE HYUNDAI IN WESTON FLORIDA THEY SAID AJUSTED TRANSMISSION BUT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM,STILL DOING SAME THING EVERY NOW AND THEN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT CAR 3 WEEKS AGO IN EARLY DECEMBER 2018.
