36 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2021 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 02/01/2022

While driving on cruise control set for 45mph the vehicle accelerated to 53 mph. Noticed this multiple times. Also steering wheel making noise and at times hard to turn. All fluids at good level. Then burning smell coming and vehicle revs up when at stop light. And then hard to start. Have had multiple issues with this vehicle. Dealer states all is good. Hyundai is no help. This is a 2021, a new vehicle that should not be acting like this.

37 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 12/13/2021

Adaptive cruise control is practical non-functional. There is a major delay when setting the cruise control speed before it actually kicks in. Speed can slow down upwards 10-15 mph below the intended set speed and take roughly 30 seconds. Once it engages its spotty with it's functionality. Depending on traffic scenarios it seems to reset the ability to re-engage cruise control and will again dropping down speed taking 15-30 seconds for before re-engaging.

38 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2022 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 11/27/2021

The cruise control does not engage. When setting the adaptive cruise control I have had the car slow down 15-20 mph before turning the cruise control off because traffic is backing up behind me and I become a hazard on the road. I have taken it to 2 different dealerships, the one I purchased the car from and one that is closer to my home as I moved and now live in a different state from where I purchased the car. Both dealerships claimed they were not able to replicate the issue. However, every time I drive the car and try to use cruise control I have the same issue of the cruise control not engaging. The car dashboard's speed indicator is supposed to turn green and make a "ding" sound when you engage the cruise control at the posted speed limit. My car does not do this. The speed limit on the freeway here is 80mph and it will turn green and "ding" at 81mph but still not actually engage and maintain the speed. I have had numerous incidents where cars behind me honk and have to go around because I was slowing down so much. I spoke with another 2022 Kona owner and they stated that they have had the same problem and they were told the same thing by a different dealership that they bought their vehicle from.

39 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2019 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 07/07/2021

Car lost speed on going uphill. Took car to dealer and they found nothing related. I am concerned about this recall. The length of time it has taken to repair and the fact that they do not know how to repair these piston rings.

41 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2020 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 07/26/2020

When I drive the car on the street and freeway I have to hold the steering wheel in place so I don't go into the next lane. The car feels like it hydroplanes and shifts on the freeway. When turning the car shifts as well. The car bounces when driving and on the freeway when I go over a bump I have to pull the wheel so the car doesn't go into the next lane. The car lags when accelerating. One tire wasn't holding air so I took it to the tire center to have it fixed. The car drives this way everyday.

42 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2020 Hyundai Kona

Failure Date: 03/03/2020

On Tuesday, March 2020, I pulled into a parking space at a local cvs store shortly after 5 pm, about to come to a complete stop and shift into park, when my 2020 Hyundai Kona suddenly and inexplicably accelerated, jumped the policeman, then the curb and rammed into the wall of cvs store. My airbag was activated and the car rolled back after the impact. There was no damage to the wall and the sheriffs deputy who arrived after the car's emergency notification system was activated did not make a report since the employees at cvs declined to press any charges. My vehicle sustained medium damage to the front end, but was drive-able. I sustained a very strong blow to my upper chest and have had problems breathing. I took pictures of the area but did not go to a doctor the same evening. I have been driving over 12 years and have not had a single accident or even a ticket in all this time and I am 100% certain I did nothing wrong!!! please rsvp ASAP !!! thank you.
