The under body frame and oil container rotted and the frame came apart. Problem was noticed with oil change. I noticed that all of these models years were recalled except 2005 ... why not? They were virtually the same car. I want a repair or a rebate for this manufacturer problem since I have less then 100000 miles on this 15 year old car.

1) The vehicle idle is too high. It jerks forward every time I'm at a stop then I want to go forward. I have almost ran into the back of other cars while waiting at a stop sign. 2) The bolts and Subframe is coming detached from the car. It has been confirmed by dealership and franchise auto repair places (2 of them) that the car motor is knocking around and the subframe is loose! I've currently spent over $2000 alone in repairs on the suspension, rack and pinion & oil leak & manifold intake issues since purchase in 2019. Besides the check engine light turning on and off, there was no prior warning of the subframe and/or it's bolts being rusted out prior to purchase or prior to mechanics telling me about this dangerous repair needing done. Why is the 2001-2004 XG350 have recalls on this but not the 2005 year model that is exactly the same specs and materials used as the 2004????????????????????

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, SUSPENSION:SUBFRAME/MOUNTING BRACKET
Car was inspected at mechanic during a routine oil change. Mechanic stated that the frame was rusted, which could affect the ability to safely operate the vehicle. I did a search and discovered that similar damage was noted in a recall 09-01-020 dated July 2009. Unfortunately, my vehicle was not included in the recall due to the manufacture date, but the same problem as the ones included in the recall exists.

POWER TRAIN
THE TORQUE CONVERTER & TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE IN THIS TRANSMISSION, THE F5A51 MITSUBISHI/HYUNDAI TRANSMISSION. MINE STARTED GOING OUT RECENTLY, AT 75K MILES! THIS PROBLEM/DEFECT IS ALSO VERY WELL KNOWN TO HYUNDAI/KIA/MITSUBISHI AND THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE ISSUE & INSTEAD TRY TO BLAME THE OWNERS & CLAIM THAT WE'VE BEEN NEGLECTFUL OR ABUSIVE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN, HYUNDAI & MITSUBISHI KNOW OF THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THESE PARTS AS WELL AS DEFECTS WITH THE CRANKSHAFT IN THE ENGINE BUT CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT AND CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE KNOWN DEFECTS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CAR, LUCKILY MINE IS ONLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THOSE TWO PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION SO FAR. PLEASE HELP ALL OF THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THAT TRANSMISSION & ENGINE WITH EVEN GREATER PROBLEMS THAN MY OWN.

THERE IS VISIBLE RUST/CORROSION DAMAGE OF THE FRONT SUB- FRAME OF MY VEHICLE. THE FRONT SUBFRAME HAS THINNED AT RUSTED LOCATION. THE RUSTED SUB-FRAME IS CHEWED HALF OF MY SUB-FRAME. I AM WORRIED THAT CORROSION MAY PROGRESS AND MAY DETACH FROM THE SUB-FRAME, EVENTUALLY INCREASING SAFETY RISK. I HAVE NOTICED STEERING PULL.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR DOWNHILL, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. MY SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SNAPPED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED, AND BROKE. THIS CAUSED THE WHEEL TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE WHEEL WELL, AND MADE IT VERY HARD TO STOP. I WAS LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, WITH NEAR INABILITY TO MOVE THE CAR AFTER I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BY HAVING TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. ATTACHED IS A PICTURE OF THE SUBFRAME THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT, BEFORE IT BROKE. I DO NOT HAVE ONE OF IT BROKEN.

MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE FRAME ON MY XG350 2005 IS VERY BADLY RUSTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT 100K MILES. ALL OTHER YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!! WHY NOT THE 2005 MODEL? OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ONCE AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE. PROBLEM IS REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 HAS EXPERIENCED SUA, (SUDDEN UNWANTED ACCELERATION) TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND THE NHTSA TOO MANY TIMES. TWICE, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT , EVEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE VERY HARD. I WONDER WHY, AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND THE NHTSA, THAT THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE DIDN'T WARRANT A RECALL, SINCE THIS PROBLEM GOES BACK TO 2006.

AIR BAGS, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE LATE 2013. READING ENTRIES POSTED ON SITE, AND TALKING WITH FORMER HYUNDAI MECHANIC, THIS IS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE THAT AT LEAST 60 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STEERING ISSUE WHERE THE BOLTS LOCKING THE WHEEL IN PLACE SHEERED OFF, I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY IN 2015 GET IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO FIX. AS OF 2018 THE STEERING IS PROBLEMATIC AGAIN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STICKING AND NOW A SQUEAKING NOISE OCCURS WHEN TURNING RIGHT.
