POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD VIOLENTLY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS TOUCHED INTERMITTENLY. THE DEFECT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THE DEFECT IS MOST LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 20 - 30 MINUTES, THEN ALLOWED TO SIT FOR ABOUT 2 TO 2-1/2 HRS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IA BTWEEN 68 AND 74 DEGREES. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED MARCH 21, 2005. I HAVE ALMOST 10,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEFECT BEGAN ON DAY ONE. I HAVE A LOG FILE OF STARTS SINCE THEN. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS NOT A VEHICLE DEFECT, IT IS THE WAY I DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE AN AFFIDAVID FROM ANOTHER DRIVER WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE CAR ON JULY 17 WHEN I WAS NOT PRESENT.

THIS IS A BRAND NEW XG350. THE DEFECT STARTED WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK. WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST PUT IN DRIVE AFTER TURNING ON THE ENGINE, THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD WITH NO CONTROL, ENOUGH TO SCARE DRIVER. AFTER 4 VISITS HE DEALER CANNOT ISOLATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS INTERMITTANT. CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
DT: VEHICLE VIBRATED WHILE DRIVING AT A CERTAIN SPEED AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT. TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS LIGHTS WERE ON. BRAKES WERE SO HOT THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO MELT. THE PEDAL WAS REAL MUSHY AND SPONGY, AND FAILED AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER PICKING VEHICLE UP FROM SERVICE DEALER. IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE, BUT WAS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND WOULD NOT STOP. AGAIN, THE PEDAL WAS MUSHY AS IF IT IS MELTED. THERE WAS A SMELL OF EXTREME HEAT, AND THE SOUND OF SIZZLING AS FRYING AN EGG. THIS WAS INTERMITTENT. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS AGAIN, AND DEALER SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN PLUGGING INTO DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET A CODE. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AIR BAGS
1) ON MARCH 25, 2005 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT MY DOCTORS OFFICE AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE THE CAR ENGINE REVVED- UP AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. I WENT THROUGH THE PARKING SPACE ONTO A GRASSY AREA. I DO NOT REMEMBER HOW I GOT CONTROL OF THE CAR TO STOP IT. MY WIFE WAS LEAVING OUR DEVELOPMENT AND HAD TO CROSS A DUAL HIGHWAY. WHEN SHE GOT TO THE CENTER STRIP SHE HIT THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THE OUTER LANE. SHE IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT THE CAR HOME AND WOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR AFTER THAT. ON APRIL 15, 2005 I WAS HEADING SOUTH ON ROUTE 41. WHEN I WAS ABOUT 100 FEET FROM A TRUCK THAT HAD STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I STARTED TO GRADUALLY FEATHER THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND ALMOST STOPPED, I APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP BUT THE ENGINE REVVED-UP AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK CAUSING A GREAT DEAL OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY CAR. ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT WAS CONSIDERABLE, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND SHOULD HAVE. I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR IF A SATISFACTORY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS CAN NOT BE FOUNDED FOR THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM AND NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAGS. THE CAR IS AT THE FORT MYERS HYUNDAI DEALER BEING REPAIRED AND INVESTIGATED. *NM

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I HAVE HAD MY XG350L FOR A YEAR AND I LOVE THE VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR THE AM RADIO. THE AM RADIO IS VERY POOR AND HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF FEEDBACK AND BUZZING. IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE AROUND BUSINESSES WITH ELECTRIC SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT NEVER DOES CLEAR ON THE STATIONS, THERE IS ALWAYS A LOW VOLUME BUZZ OR WHINE. THE DEALER INSTALLED A CAPACITOR AT 2000 MILES. TOOK IT BACK IN AT 4000 MILES, NO BETTER AND THE DEALER SAID THAT IT JUST THE WAY AM RADIOS ARE. WELL I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF VEHICLES AND THE OTHER VEHICLE WE OWN DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 5700 MILES AND THE AM RADIO IS AWFUL. VERY ANNOYING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT....ESPECIALLY WHEN I GET IN OTHER VEHICLES OF DIFFERENT MAKE AND THEY DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN INFINITY SOUND SYSTEM, BUT APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T EFFECT THE AM RADIO FUNCTION. *AK
