Kona

  • 300 miles
A couple hundred miles after purchasing a new Kona, I had started having acceleration issues going from a dead stop into first gear.as the car starts to go, this is under 5 mph, the car then hesitates as if someone is hitting the brakes. I have almost been rear ended several times due to this. It is a sporadic issue. I have had it into Hyundai 3X now for this. All 3 X Hyundai states they can not repair unless it happens while test driving. Of course this has not happened. So they have " reset" my driving computer 2X hoping it will stop. This is a serious issue and there are many Kona owners out there documenting this issue on blogs. I have 3 service reports claiming there is an issue, but it is not being found. I have written to Hyundai to open a case report. I am reporting this to the NHTSA T with hopes of either resolving this issue or bring light to a potential safety hazard from Hyundai.
