NHTSA Complaint #11493121 — 2020 HYUNDAI KONA

After two years of driving, car seemed to start having engine noises. Felt like loss of acceleration? The vehicle stalled twice after noticing this when in a slower speed. No engine warning light or oil malfunction light ever came on. Our local mechanic said the car was close to being out of oil. Never any evidence of oil on the ground or any type of odor. Dealer was informed of the issue on Nov 9. They said no appointment available until Dec 1, I said the car does not seem safe to drive. Then they changed appointment to Nov 21. No loaner available. Not sure how long this will take to fix if a lot of people are having this type of issue. The car is two years old and with only 12000 miles. We don't go on extensive trips. Mostly drive around town, some highway driving. The servicing was done at dealer at about 6500 miles, they also did something for a "software" recall. And they indicated the next servicing due as 16000 miles. I'm reading some horror stories online, as when there's a problem Hyundai tries to get out of doing the work under their 10 yr warranty. Never, ever had a car that "might need a new engine" (dealer's words) after 12000 miles. Unsafe! Not sure I even trust a "new engine."
