Yesterday my car, Hyundai Kona 2019, stalled out for no reason while the vehicle was in motion. There were no warning signs on the panel. I change the oil regularly, but the car keeps burning oil very quickly before the next planned oil change, however, I never have any warning signs that my oil level is low. I could have gotten into an accident, and now I am afraid of driving because the car can stall at any moment, and cause an accident. The manufacturing company doesn't s solve this problem in a timely manner!
I brought my car to the Pride Hyundai dealership in Lynn, MA on Friday, 7/30. They confirmed that I need a new engine and still have my car and Hyundai corporate has not gotten back to them. I am elderly and a one car family and I have no car. I also do not want to drive the car until it is fixed.

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.

I was notified of a recall by Carfax on May 9th, 2021. On May 10th, 2021, I took my vehicle to Lehigh Valley Hyundai in Pennsylvania. I have been back and forth trying to get in contact with my case manager and he has not responded as to what is going on with my vehicle. It is now July 5th and there is still no remedy for my car. My car has been in the shop almost 2 months now.
From mid-May, my wife noticed the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) illuminate on the dashboard. The MIL light would intermittently illuminate and not display at times. 1) In June, I went on Hyundai's website using my log on account to request for service. A specific date was requested but not response was provided. 2) on June 17 at 10:39 AM HST, I called Hyundai Service center and a left a message to request service for the MIL issue. 3) on June 18 at 08:52 AM HST, I called Hyundai Service center and a left a message to request service for the same issue. On July 05, 2021, I just opened a letter from Hyundai for an important Safety recall regarding our vehicle involving defective piston oil rings that could result in abnormal knocking or stalling. I believe this is a serious issue that needs immediate attention, however, we are unable to receive any service here. My wife at this time is very afraid to drive the vehicle unless this issues is resolved. Please advise us what steps can be taken from NHTSA. The service level for Hyundai is extremely poor, at this point we want to somehow terminate our lease. Best Regards

4/7/21 while in Las Vegas parked at the Venetian Hotel, my 2019 Hyundai Kona EV battery failed causing the vehicle to be inoperative. I am still waiting for Hyundai to replace the recalled EV battery
While slowing down car would make a whining sound and eventually started grinding. Car also stalled and died while coming to a stop. After that unable to drive or move the car in neutral.
During regular driving the vehicle loses power, will not accelerate and stalls out completely. After sitting a few minutes the vehicle will restart. The vehicle was taken to the repair shop but nothing seemed wrong. Within a six month period it again occurred twice. Once again nothing was observed wrong with the vehicle but the second time last night the car was brought to the repair shop and they stated the engine has little to no compression. The vehicle is currently awaiting a diagnosis from hyndai
Vehicle stalls with A/C running on turns. It is intermittent issue. By putting vehicle back in neutral vehicle restarts right away. This happens normally in hotter weather. Called dealer and taken vehicle in and can not duplicate. So no fix. This is a 2019 Hyundai Kona with 19,500 miles. Others on Hyundai website owners club have same issues. Hyundai is not a bad company. But they need to investigate issues if so many of us are having same issues. Doesn't seem to be related to the engine options happens with both engine options.
