I own it outright. 2 weeks later my engine seized on the CA 118 in the middle lane & I lost steering & power. I don\u2019t know how I made it to the side  w cars doing 80. I was shaking. The dealer refurbished my engine no cost , it was due to the oil consumption problem & the piston ring issues many cars in \u201820 & \u201821 had. I had a Hyundai rep call & offer me $400 to sign off on any future engine issues w this car, & I knew this car was likely to have many other future problems after that offer. I did not accept offer.  The transmission is also very jerky on surface streets. Well 2 yrs later, the engine started to seize up again today as I was on my way to a dentist appt. I don\u2019t feel safe in this car. I am a 58 y/o woman w fibromyalgia & the stress of the power just shutting down when I\u2019m driving makes my disease flair up terribly. I\u2019ve had many cars & this is the only 1 I\u2019m truly scared to drive alone in , after being stuck on a mountainside road, w no power, no steering, no one w me. I avoid driving at times, because the PTSD from the first incident is always w me . I love to drive - I had a motor home I drove across this country 6 times. I really want to sell this car, but I don\u2019t want some other person to be in danger either. If I knew Hyundais in certain yrs had these issues, I certainly never would have purchased that particular year/model. That should be disclosed w the cars stats if it is known & actually in several class action suits. No advanced warning came on to alert me either - the engine just seized on a mountainside freeway as I was doing 68 mph. I feel lucky to be here after that.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"HYUNDAI","productModel":"KONA","manufacturer":"Hyundai Motor America"}]}]}
