2022 Hyundai Kona: engine leads the owner complaints

Owners filed 94 complaints with NHTSA. The engine is the most reported area at 33%, followed by the electrical system (22%) and power train (16%). No fires or deaths are reported. The top three areas have no crashes or injuries, but forward collision avoidance and the brakes each account for 1 crash and 1 injury, so both systems are worth a close look on a test drive.
