Consumer Description
IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A RAPPING NOISE, FROM THE TIME I START IT AND DRIVE TILL ITS PARKED AND SHUT OFF. THE RAPPING IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY AND IS NOT DUE FOR ANOTHER YET. I BOUGHT THE KONA IN AUGUST OF 2020 AND IT HAS LESS THAN 3800 MILES ON IT. I AM DRIVING TO CHARLOTTESVILLE VIRGINIA WITH THREE FAMILY MEMBERS SO I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ASAP.
