Consumer Description

Since the October 2020 recall requirements, I have been told not to park in my garage (thereby exposing my car exterior paint and plastic to the elements) and I have not been able to use my battery at 100% (forced to change limit to 80%). I would not have bought this car if I was going to be limited to 80% of the estimated mileage and gone with a Tesla instead. I live in a desert climate so exposing my car each day to sand and sun is aggravating when I normally park in my garage to protect my car's plastic elements and paint. It has been 16 months without a resolution to the issue and no reasonable compensation for loss of use of vehicle and increased damage to exterior of car since October 2020. Hyundai sold 2020 Kona EV owners a defective car. Had I known I would have been limited to about 200 miles, I would have chosen a different car.
