June 25th I noticed a knocking sound on my vehicle. On June 28th I was driving and noticed the knocking sound and was unable to accelerate. I had to exit immediately. The engine shut off and I was unable to restart my car. I waited a few minutes and checked the oil. The engine was smoking and the oil was bone dry. I then got some oil and put it in the car but the vehicle would not start. I had to get it towed to the dealership on Tuesday, June 29th. I was then told that it wasn't the recall although my car did everything listed on the recall except catch on fire. The dealership is saying there is too much oil in the intake. They are giving me the run around and will not return my calls. I have to physically go up to the dealership in order to get feedback. They only tell me that they do not know when I call them.

The traction batteries are deffective and needs to be replaced due to the battery catching fire under Recall 200 for Hyundia Kona Electric cars. The cars effected were manufactured from Aug 28,2018 to March 2, 2020 which our car falls within this window date. According to Hyundai Consumer Assistance there is no solution.

My Car Has Had Problems With The Starter It Would Not Start At Times My Car Has Been Checked By Priority Acura On They My Starter Needed To Be Replaced At At Times My Car Has Trouble Picking Up Speed Consumer stated vehicle was diagnosed in June 8th, 2021. Today different issues occurring all windows not down at the same time and when 2 are down the car shakes.

After taking my vehicle for an oil change, I had to fill the engine with 1 1/2 quarts of oil less than a month after. I took a trip that was less than 1000 miles and had to add 2 1/2 quarts of oil. I took my vehicle into the dealership and explained the issue which turned out that there was a recall. They put me into a loaner because I refuse to drive a vehicle that could potentially cause harm to myself or my family. I then called Hyundai. The acknowledged the recall and provided me with a case number {18373693}. Was told someone would call me in 10 days. To date no one has called me. Was told I had a case manager which turned out to not be true. I am beyond livid! I'm paying for a vehicle I cannot even drive. Something needs to be done.

The malfunction light came on. Called Hyundai Service center the next day. Told they could not get me in for 2 weeks. Called service dept again the next day bc the vehicle was stalling. Service looked at car quickly the next day. I was told engine needed oil, he put some in and let me go. Right after leaving, light went back on and car was stalling. Called again and finally got them to look at it 2 days later. I was told it needed a new engine and it will take 3-4 months to get an engine. I was accused of driving without oil in the car. Not true. A couple of days later I received a recall notice explaining the exact thing that happened to my vehicle. The recall was issued on April 28 so the dealer must have known about it and never told me. They let me drive away in a vehicle that could catch on fire and had a recall on it. I do not have a loaner car bc supposedly they don’t have one. Service Manager was very rude and the general manager was too. I’ve called twice for a loaner and was never called back. My car is 1 year old, has 12,000 miles on it and they inspected and passed it one month prior to the malfunction light going on. I had to beg the service manager to look at my car bc I was scared to drive it. Burdick Hyundai in Cicero,NY should not be allowed to operate if they are ok with their customers driving a recalled vehicle that can catch on fire. Very scary!

I found the shark fin cover of antenna located on rear roof area was no longer there exposing the antenna and base to the elements. There appeared to be no damage surounding the area to show how cover might have come off. I have not taken the vehicle through any automated car washes and have not been in any accidents. I took the vehicle to the dealership to see if the warrantee would cover replacement but they determined that it was theft. I am wondering if this is a common problem for other Kona owners.
