You made the Kona terrible
I have a 2026 Kona Premium. I traded in my 2021 Kona Ultimate because I started having transmission problems since I had 133k miles on it and the DCT transmissions crap. This new Kona is a horrible car. So horrible I'm going to either start complaining more to the service dept and then file a lemon law claim if they don't fix it. The car is extremely unstable especially in windy conditions. So much that it is unsafe. Ive almost wrecked it 3 times now when driving in high winds over 25 mph. It will not stay in a straight line. Even with the cruise control and lane control turned on, it will weave from side to side trying to keep itself between the lines.
Also, car will not go into drive at times. From park I turn the weird shifting lever and it will tell me it's in drive but will not move. Does this everyday. I have to shift back to park then drive. Sometimes I have to do this multiple times to get it to go into drive and move.
Also, at times the transmission will not shift correctly. It will rev way up past 4k rpm. I have to get off the gas pedal, which I'm just driving normally and not at high speed or anything like that, and then it'll shift.
Also, the location of the gear shifter! What were you thinking??? I have accidentally put my car in NEUTRAL a few times now when I go to turn on my rear wiper! Terrible location for the shifter!
This Kona makes my 6th Hyudai that I've purchased and will probably be my last unless you redesign them. Love my 2025 Tucson Hybrid, except for the shifter!
