ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle is equipped with battery cells manufactured in the LG Energy Solutions China (Nanjing) plant in which the Anode (Negative) tab can be folded. Thus, this could result in my car catching on fire. I have had my car serviced for updates since March 2020. (Recall 196) As of today, the problem has not been fixed. My dealer tells me they are waiting for the Hyundai headquarters to remedy the problem.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle was purchased 11/6/2019. On 1/11/2020 while driving from Oregon to California the main computer shorted out causing complete shutdown of the vehicle. It took the Sacramento Hyundai dealership almost 3 weeks to deliver the vehicle back to me. Since then the vehicle has appeared to run well. However, my faith in taking the vehicle on long drives is at least shaken. Several recall notices have been issued for my vehicle. Most notably is number 200. A recall notice #196, received in November, 2020 states "The high-voltage battery system... may have been produced with internal damage to certain cells ... that could increase the risk of an electrical short circuit ... increase the risk of fire." On July 2020 I received another Service Campaign notice which stated "The HIgh Voltage Battery Monitoring System is being enhanced to include additional monitoring...". On April 23, 2021 the local Hyundai dealership set the maximum charge to 80% as a result of another recall notice. Early in July, 2021 I received yet another recall notice which stating that vehicles battery cell manufactured in the LG Energy Solutions China plant could suffer an electrical short ... increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. I need to have a vehicle that is free from dangerous conditions. It is now 21 months since the dangerous condition in my vehicle was brought to Hyundai's attention. In one of the last paragraphs of Hyundai's latest recall notice they state that if they have failed or are unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time, I may submit a complaint to you, NHTSA. I believe this situation meets that criteria. Thank you for your assistance, David Steinberg

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
We brought our 2019 Kona EV in for the battery recall and the Battery Maintenance System (BMS) recall. The reduced charge amount to 80% and ran the BMS software update. This was on a Friday (5/7/21). We picked up our car that same day and drove home. Drove the car twice over the weekend and charged the car overnight, Sunday-Monday. When we got in the car Monday morning (5/10/21), the car would not go into gear (forward or reverse). On the dash and the info screen, was a message about an Electrical System Failure. We had to have the car towed to the local Hyundai dealer (Curry Hyundai, Cortlandt, NY). The told us the BMS caused the battery to go into lockdown mode and that there was no resolution except for the battery to be replaced. We were told to get a battery could take several months. They gave us a loaner but it is not an electric vehicle. So far no one know when or if a battery will be available.

Potential Consequences:
The 2019 Hyundai Kona EV (my vehicle) is a fire hazard. I am not satisfied with Hyundai's current mitigation of limiting our battery (and so our range) to 80% of its capacity. A full battery replacement is planned, but there is no timeline, so it could take 1 year for all I know. 1 year during which I am stuck with 80% of my range (which is not what I purchased) and the potential, however unlikely, that my car is still a fire hazard. I wish Hyundai would do more!

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The March 1, 2021 recall has not been resolved. The vehicle was purchased for its mile capacity however, due to this recall, I'm unable to use the vehicle for my travel/work as intended when I purchased the vehicle. As a result of the reduced miles, I must charge my vehicle between trips to ensure I have sufficient miles to make it home. This takes time out of my schedule and I must pay for the charging (I charge my car at my residence and have solar panels - thus no charging expense). This does Not take into consideration that at times, I cannot use my air conditioning or heating in my car to ensure I have sufficient miles to make it home or to the next charging station. I paid a lot of money for a fully functional car, for which I am NOT receiving. If I have reached the incorrect department, please forward this complaint to the appropriate department.
