Kona

  • 11,008 miles
In June I took the car back to the dealership because of a loud ticking noise. I then thought it was the oil level was low... when they checked to see it I needed an oil change they stated I need to have at least 7500 miles on the vehicle before I can get an oil change. They stated that my oil level was good and to come back, I explained to the advisor that this sound (ticking) was not normal he stated that all the 2020 Kona has that sound... so they released the car back to us then 2 weeks later the clicking noise got louder we made another appt the changed the oil and stated all Kona sound the same 1 week later traveling on I4 the oil light came on and the engine light the car shut down and I was stranded on the highway 4 am.... for 2 hours.. I was livid.... I had the car towed back to the dealership then they found out that my oil sensor was bad... that's where the clicking noise was coming from so I want to inform anyone that has that type of car if the engine is clicking that means the oil sensor is bad.
