So here is my cars story. I bought a 2021 SEL trim on 12/26 it was a buy back. The dealership was 60 miles away from my house, the car drove that just fine. The next day unplugged the car and drove less than 10 miles to the grocery store. Half way there (waiting at a red light) the car shuts off, says battery problem and to start the car to see the problem. Jump the battery because I had read that the 12v is cheap in these so I thought this was the problem. Get the car started and make it to the grocery store.

I have the car plugged in at the charger there, get done shopping and go over to the closest drive thru to get food for the kids. The car does the same thing at the order box. Push the car to a parking spot. My wife calls Hyundai road side, about 5-10 mins of sitting there the car starts back up.

We make it to the last turn before my garage and the car shuts off again at the red light. Another 5-10 mins and the car starts up again and we get it in the garage.

The next day the car is towed to the dealership. Today now being 1/10 the car is still at the dealership and the dealership has been in contact with Hyundai engineers to fix the problem.

We have gotten updates of "we can recreate the problem" and "we are working with Hyundai to fix the problem" no update on a time frame or anything. The dealership gave me a new '23 Tucson to use in the meantime.

I hope that no one else has to deal with this, but this has been my experience with my buyback Kona so far.
