Not Happy.

Hesitation when pressing the gas pedal! A lot! When it finally does kick in, the vehicle lurches. The automatic emergency braking system has given me a number of close calls of people rear ending me. I wouldn’t recommend this vehicle.

HATED IT!

Never should have purchased the vehicle in the first place, but I blame myself. I didn't fully realize how horrible the transmission/harsh and jerky shifting was until driving the vehicle more than just the test drive. This was my 5th Hyundai and I traded it in and lost thousands in less than 3 months. Would NOT recommend. There is also no storage space in cubbies, door pockets, glove box, console, etc. Even with the Limited trim, this is nothing more than a "budget" vehicle for those who want a cheap package like a tin can, although it had all the latest and greatest safety/driving features.

Never Again

I was very excited to purchase my new vehicle. I decided on a Hyundai due to positive reviews from family members and because of the extensive warranty. With only 20,000 miles the engine blew up. I had regular maintenance through Hyundai and it is under warranty but never expected something like this.

Engine recall revealed severe problems with customer service

Hyundai needs to desperately revamp customer service. Terrible experience. No ownership of a problem. Impossible to actually get to talk to anyone when there is a major problem like an engine failure. No loaner given

Oil Burner

This car is a lemon. It burned 2 quarts of oil in the first 5000 miles. There was no dash indicator light that the car was low on oil. Car has since been sold! I will nor recommend this car to anyone. I hope Hyundai can fix the engine problem as this is a nice looking car.

Not as reliable as I had hoped

We have owned the vehicle 1 year. We have an appt to take it in, because engine is rattling, the car is stalling and steering wheel is making a sliding noise. This will now be the second Hyundai I have owned w engine issues. Very dissatisfied.

Buyer Beware!

Very disappointed that my less then one year old Kona needs a new engine. How Hyundai handles this will determine if I ever buy another car from them. I believe I should be offered a replacement car at no cost or the option for them to buy the car back from me. I do not believe this should cost me one dime out of pocket.

Just waiting for the engine to fail...

Just waiting for the engine to fail. It has bad piston rings. If it fails on the highway it might kill you. It can also burst into flames while sitting in your garage and burn your house down and kill your family. Hyundai has no plans to fix this defect unless the engine actually seizes and then only if it's still under warranty.

Very poor

Engine blew within 6 months. No offer to replace. Just to repair or buyback. Loss a lot on transaction. Told dealership what I wanted and corporate but no offer. My life not that important. Corporate didn't agree with outcome but they did it anyway

It can catch on fire so I would say it is not a safe vehicle

It can catch on fire it can catch on fire so it really isn’t a safe vehicle I am not very happy with this vehicle being unsafe for my family I feel sorry for anyone who bought one of these cars and nobody seems in any hurry to fix the problem

Horrible experience

The Engine consumed oil and no one could fix it for 4 months and when I finally sold it back you magically fixed it causing me to lose lots of money and sent me to buy a new car with no support ended up going with Toyota much better customer service and they stand by their vehicles unlike Hyundai. Worst experience ever.

Recall on engine car becomes bombshell

Loved car at first until the recall came out. As I read up on it I learned the car could just stop running on highway and could even catch on fire killing me or anyone I care about. I also learned the same engines were going into their new cars as they know of problems and yet continue to sell. Very dissatisfied! Lost money on this bombshell

Recalled and electrical problems.

This car was good for a few months. Had all types of electrical issue and dealer had for 3 months and could not fix or replace. Customer service from Burdick Hyundai was horrible. This is a garbage vehicle that has been recalled with no fix.

Engine Problems

The car has horrible engine problems do not purchase. I bought the car brand new and not even a year later the car started to give me issues. The Check engine light came on and I was told the timing belt was messed up. At the end of it all it needed a new engine. It was under warranty though.

Car idles rough.

Car idles rough when ac on high, or high loads like radiator fan on. Embarrassing to have passengers in new car. Dealer agrees car is rough but can not seem to fix. AC compressor was replaced with no change. If AC is turned off idle is smooth. In sport mode the higher idle speed helps.
