A major let down from a car family I trusted

I had great experience with my 2007 Hyundai Tucson so after driving Infinity SUV for 3 years, I decided it was time to go for an EV, when my lease was over in 2019. Being a loyal Hyundai customer I chose Kona over a Tesla as I have always believed in giving a chance to new entrants, and there were great reviews out there. The test drive was great as well. For the first 8 months since we drove < 15 miles/ day experience was okay. Many of the shortcomings became obvious, when we drove from Fresno, California to Vancouver, Canada over 4 days in APril,2020. The battery was draining way faster even with two passengers and acceptable load. Had tough time to safely change lanes and had to be very cautious. Above 60 MPH similar challenges during maneuvering with or without load. And finally I started reading reports of fire due to battery issues, but there was no formal recall yet. A software upgrade was proposed, but till getting that I had many sleepless nights as the car was parked inside the garage, which is part of the house.

Horrible!

Hyundai has had a safety recall on the battery for SEVERAL months. My car is still not fixed and I was told it should stay at the dealership until the new battery could be installed...but no loaner was available. That was over a month ago. Seriously??? Terrible customer services and unreliable car.

Brakes useless

Not recommend this vehicle right now. If the car is fitted with all season tires I would recommend the car. If the brakes are reliable I would recommend this car. Once the get the problems sorted I will probably go back to loving my car.
