I have a 2019 Kona that has an issue with excessive oil consumption. I know that Hyundai issued a recall for this problem in 2019 Konas, but they claim my car isn’t included in that recall, and they refuse to help me. It feels like a scam on Hyundai’s part. my plate is: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My vehicle was brought into Kerry Hyundai of Alexandria in December 2025 and is still there. It was brought in for warranty work. The original complaint was oil consumption. It is supposedly getting a replacement engine but it has been 10 months of them giving me the run around. I feel this timeline is unreasonable.

My 2020 Kona 2.OL failed an oil test losing 2.5 quarts in 960 miles, stalled on the highway, and blows oil out the tailpipe. Hyundai (Case #43141313) is denying repair coverage because my VIN was excluded from Recall 21V301000. This recall needs to be expanded to include my VIN.

My 2019 Hyundai Kona (VIN: [XXX]) experiences violent shaking and complete engine stalling in active traffic when braking, creating an immediate safety hazard on public roads. This directly mirrors the failure mechanics of Safety Recall 203 ([XXX]). Upon inspection, physical evidence of massive silver aluminum metal flakes was discovered clogging the VVT solenoid mesh screens, originating from internal cylinder/piston ring degradation. However, the dealership Universal Hyundai in [XXX] (RO# XXX) issued a fraudulent diagnostic report stating 'no metal found' to evade recall liability. Hyundai Motor America subsequently closed corporate case XXXwithout an internal engine or borescope inspection. I have retrieved the vehicle under financial protest and possess full photographic evidence of the aluminum contamination.

I purchased a new 2024 Hyundai Kona in September 2023 and followed its scheduled maintenance program. By August 12, 2026, I had noticed mild, intermittent excessive brake-pedal travel, especially at low speeds. I reported it to the dealer that day; September 14 was their earliest available appointment. By September 14, the pedal drop was more pronounced and frequent at low speeds. The dealer inspected the brakes and reported no abnormality. A technician verbally acknowledged some downward pedal movement but reportedly considered it acceptable. No cause was identified or repair made. By September 16, the problem had become persistent and severe: approximately the first 90% of pedal travel produced little or no effective braking, with limited braking only near the floor. Stopping even at very low speeds became difficult. Sounds and pedal feedback suggested frequent ABS activation, although this was not diagnostically confirmed. I stopped driving on September 16; the vehicle has remained parked and is available for inspection. I first reported this severe condition to Hyundai Motor America on September 16 because I had lost confidence in the original dealer's handling of the problem. More than a month later, Hyundai has offered no clear corrective plan, instead referring me back to the dealer for another inspection. I am willing to have the vehicle inspected by another authorized dealer, or even the original dealer if Hyundai directly coordinates a defined diagnostic and repair plan, rather than leaving me to negotiate it myself. This serious braking problem arose in a roughly three-year-old, regularly maintained vehicle, was reported before its third anniversary, and remains undiagnosed and unrepaired despite dealer and manufacturer notification. I request NHTSA review this potential brake-system safety defect and the associated collision risk.
