Defect Description:

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

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.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Car is 1 years old, just over 4600 miles on it. . Over the past month, vehicle stalled 4 times, twice while slowing to a stop during traffic on the freeway, on different days. Thankfully the car started back up again, as I was In the middle lanes both times. Then stalled again once more after each freeway stall, also coming to a stop. Vehicle also seems to be using a lot of engine oil. Started getting dashboard messages needing service. Then a few days after the car stalled for the fourth time, my engine light came on. So I had my car towed to the dealership for service on 6/24/2021. I really feel this is a safety concern, I don't know what I would have done if the car did not restart while I was on the freeway. I could have had my 4 year old niece with me. Only warning light, was the engine light and dashboard said I needed service. Car is currently still in the shop, but they called me today and said the diagnostic shows a CVT (something) insulator failed and they have ordered the part.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My engine is consuming more engine oil than it should be. It is consuming 1.5 quarts every 1,000 miles due to a manufacturers defect. I have attempted to reach out to the dealership service department for a resolution in which they have been unable to provide. I purchased this vehicle 05/25/2020 with 18 miles on it. The service department is wanting to charge a total of $1,000 to “test” for the defect. However, said defect is directly related to the recall that I was informed of on 05/03/2021. I noticed the defect in March 2021 when I realized there was no oil in my car. I had it serviced prior to that in late January and do not commute more than 8 miles round trip for work. The defect was experienced again on 06/09/2021 when my engine made a ticking noise while driving it. I again checked my oil to find there was none in it.

My engine is consuming more engine oil than it should be. It is consuming 1.5 quarts every 1,000 miles due to a manufacturers defect. I have attempted to reach out to the dealership service department for a resolution in which they have been unable to provide. I purchased this vehicle 05/25/2020 with 18 miles on it. The service department is wanting to charge a total of $1,000 to “test” for the defect. However, said defect is directly related to the recall that I was informed of on 05/03/2021. I noticed the defect in March 2021 when I realized there was no oil in my car. I had it serviced prior to that in late January and do not commute more than 8 miles round trip for work. The defect was experienced again on 06/09/2021 when my engine made a ticking noise while driving it. I again checked my oil to find there was none in it.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

A recall has been issued some time back and said it was possible for engine to catch fire. Still to this date no resolution and they’re dragging their feet. People need their vehicles and we still paying for these vehicles that are basically useless. I can’t take my new vehicle on business trips because it’s unsafe so I’m having to rent vehicles. I’ve called and emailed them and it seems to be no rush for them. Ridiculous and sad….
