2024 Kona Limited
#1
Hi. I was wondering if anyone else had had multiple issues with their 2024 Kona? It first started with getting blue link messages that my doors were unlocked, or my engine was running long after I have confirmed the doors were locked and the engine was not running. I still get the messages randomly. Then one day I was going out and my cameras all went out. I had no rear back up camera, side mirror cameras or back up cameras but the warning alert sounds were there. Then one day we had 4 inches of wet slushy snow. I pulled my car out of my garage and drove from the alley to the front which would be a 1/4 of a city block to the front of my house. I then took off and my dash lit up like a Christmas tree with all the warning lights and blue link sent me a message to schedule and appt, so I parked it back in the garage. The following day everything was normal. So, I took it to the Dealership and was told it was because of the snow blocking sensors. Four days later it reset another code that was C28B981 ELECTRICAL Lane Departure Warning System. I went into the dealer a few days after and was told it was fine as it was last reported a few days earlier. Last week I had enough and went in and had all the codes cleared. Thye all show reset on the Blue Link page except the C28B981 ELECTRICAL Lane Departure Warning System code. Then a few days later I was driving down a local road with a few twists on it and my lane departure kept beeping at me and turning the green steering wheel icon off in corners then back on. I have had intermittent issues with that. Then this weekend when I was on the outskirts of downtown MPLS using android auto my infotainment system crashed 6 times. Needless to say, I have had enough and filed a complaint with Hyundai. I understand the car was less than 40k, but it is 38k of my hard-earned money and if Hyundai can make a car that cannot handle MN weather is should not sell them here. Sorry for the rant but has anyone else had similar problems? I did pot on another Kona forum and the DTC C28B981 can be found on a Chinese website for a kia K3 referencing the front radar. But to get any more info you have to pay. dash.jpg

Yes, I've had almost all of these same issues with my Kona Limited that I got at the end of May. Less than 2,500 miles on it and I constantly have issues with the Bluelink. Support has been zero help.

I have a 2025 Limited and have the same issue with the blue link alerts saying the car was idling and has been turned off. Currently, I’m sitting at the dealer over the Qi charging pad intermittently working, not being able to set up the digital smart key and my steering wheel beeping at me frequently telling me to put my hands on the steering wheel when they already are. A different dealer suggested the issue is being caused by the R.E.D. Alert light addition to the third braking light. They had removed one from another vehicle bought from my dealership and the issues that owner was having stopped. So, I don’t know.

Sadly, the dealers automatically blame third party stuff just like using your own modem with comcast. My issues all seemed to have mysteriously disappeared. I have read on other posts that there are updates for the camera and some Blue link updates. The dealer will blow you off when it comes to Blue Link :( as that is something you have to bitch to blue link about sadly. I believe the Digital key problem is also Blue Link related. The Qi pad on my 2024 is terrible as it never shuts off when it does work and overheats the phone on long trips and I am on my second pad. So, I think you will find if they update the camera software for the one behind the mirror and you contact Blue link the problems may get resolved. I have noticed there were several OTA updates that seemed to just magically fixed my problems as others have also experienced the same.
