Error with engine
While I have overall enjoyed my 2026 Hyundai Kona SEL Sport, an issue recently arose that I wanted to bring to Hyundai’s attention.
This was the first time I experienced this issue. While I was stopped at a red light, the vehicle displayed the message, “Engine off! Shift to P or N, then start engine.” I shifted the vehicle into Park and restarted it, and it started back up normally.
After restarting, I continued driving and noticed the RPM was around 3,600 while traveling approximately 45 mph. The vehicle also felt like it was pulling slightly differently than it normally does. Everything seemed to return to normal afterward, but this was concerning because the vehicle is still very new.
