2022 HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC Problems & Recalls

I found a lot of debris of metals contaminated in the gear reduction oil when I changed my gear reduction oil. I had a Vortex oil lug nut, which it sucks all of the metal debris in.

During the winter the vehicle does not produce heat. There is a knocking sound from under the dash and only cold air comes out of all the vents. When it was 20 degrees out I measure 35 degree air out the vents over the couse of an hour drive. The car has been to the dealer multiple times for this i...

The electrical system is not fulling shutting down after the vehicle is turned off and the 12 volt battery drains.
