I purchased this 2022 Hyundai Kona used in May 2025 with approximately 55,000 miles. Within about one to two months of purchase, in June 2025, the transmission began to malfunction. When I pressed the accelerator, the speedometer and engine speed would climb but the vehicle would not accelerate, resulting in a sudden loss of acceleration while driving. This happened in traffic on a public road, which put me at serious risk of being rear-ended and left me unable to safely merge, cross intersections, or maintain speed. The vehicle was taken to a Hyundai dealership service center, which diagnosed a transmission failure and performed a transmission repair in August 2025. In October 2026, about 1

Today, my Kona tried to kill me. I was traveling on a freeway in a construction zone. Road conditions were clear: no fog, precipitation, potholes or obstructions. Traffic slowed down to 30 mph as the rightmost lane becomes an exit only lane (and people exchanged between the middle and right lane). Traffic continued to flow freely around 50 mph in the left lane. I was in the middle lane, and after passing the off ramp my lane was clear for at least an eighth of a mile ahead (all visible traffic in front of me had taken the exit). I began to accelerate back up to freeway speeds when the "Automatic Emergency Braking" engaged for no reason. There was a curved driving path on the display (which r

My radiator has coolant leak. I noticed the fluid getting low and the smell. I had to put fluid in 2-3 times the last month. I took it into the shop and they confirmed that it is the lower left part of the radiator that it’s leaking from and it has to get replaced. I did notice on a campaign 24\-EM\-005H\. for the Hyundai Kona 2022. But my VIN number wasn’t part of that. It is having the same leak and I have to get the radiator replaced. My car has 65000 miles on it so it wasn’t covered under warranty. It is in the auto shop now and will cost me over 1200 to get it fixed.

Transmission (7 speed DCT) partial failure causing intermittent lack of acceleration, bucking, violent shifts. No warning lights are displayed. Despite being only days and about 1000 miles beyond the warranty neither Hyundai nor the dealer show interest in repairing this except at my cost, which is not feasible.
