Read complaints for HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC (2021)
After charging the vehicle at home with level 2 charger to 100% it would not go into drive or reverse. It can go to neutral or park only. The car is at the dealership and they told the battery must be replaced when one is available. It is a safety concern because one can get stranded on the road with vehicle that does not move although is fully charged.

On 8/11/21, i tried to start my hyundai kona ev, and it displayed the high voltage warning . The car would not start or go into gear and had to be towed to the dealership. We purchased the car in may 2021, and it had about 3000 miles on it at the time. At the dealership, the mechanic diagnosed it as a faulty battery and indicated that the whole lg battery underneath for the electric car would need to be replaced. After doing further research, there is already a recall on the 2018 to 2020 models for the same issue, with the battery catching fire in some instances. The car has the same battery a the 2018 to 2020 models. The guidance for those model years has been to park the car outside, in case there is a fire. We live in an hoa condo (and do have the option to park outside our garage). As of today, there is no eta of a fix for a new battery. If they end up replacing it with another lg battery with the same faulty cell issues, i feel like this is a danger to my and my family's lives. Due to the battery issue, they also quit selling the kona in korea in april, a full month before we purchased our car. They sold us a car with a known issue. I want them to buy back this car, due to the safety issues.
I was entering my neighborhood and slowed down as we neared our house with my foot on the brakes so that i can open my garage door, as i released the brakes, the car started accelerating by itself really fast and i had to slam on my brakes to stop the car from speeding up on its own.
