VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER ABOUT 4-5 MONTH PERIOD ENDING JULY 2010 I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH MY 2005 HYUNDAI XGL350. THE FIRST 2 TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY. I ALREADY HAD THE BRAKE DEPRESSED FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP AND HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM TAKING OFF. THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION SURGE LASTED ABOUT 5 SECONDS THEN ENDED. THE CAR DID MOVE FORWARD BUT IN BOTH CASES I DID NOT HAVE ANY INJURIES OR DAMAGES. I DID NOT TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AFTER EITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS. THE THIRD INCIDENT HAPPENED ON JULY 25, 2010 IN NORFOLK, VA. I WAS PARKING BETWEEN TWO CARS IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. THE PARKING SPACE FACED A CURB WHICH BOARDED SOME FLORAL LANDSCAPING. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AT ALL TIMES I VERY SLOWLY PULLED IN AND STARTED BRINGING THE CAR TO A STOP THE CAR ABOUT 3 - 4 FEET FROM THE CURB. BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IT BEGAN TO UNEXPECTEDLY REV UP AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE BUT THE CAR'S FRONT WHEELS MANAGE TO CLIMB OVER THE CURB AND MOVE THE FRONT OF THE CAR INTO BUSHES BEFORE THE ACCELERATION ENDED AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BACKED DOWN OVER THE CURB. ON THAT SAME DAY I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS RETURNING FROM VIRGINIA TO NEW YORK AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. I PLAN TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE ON JULY 27, 2010 TO INVESTIGATE AND HOPEFULLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL IS ERRATIC AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED ON OCCASION. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP QUICKLY AT THE SMALLEST TOUCH OF THE ACCELERATOR AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE FASTER THAN ABOUT 5 MPH NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE THROTTLE IS PRESSED. THIS CAUSES SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS ENTERING A ROADWAY CAN BE DANGEROUS WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER AVAILABLE AT TIMES. IT ALSO MAKES NAVIGATING A SMALL AREA SUCH AS A PARKING LOT UNSAFE WHEN THE POWER IS DELIVERED FAR TOO QUICKLY. INCIDENTS TYPICALLY HAPPEN 3-4 TIMES PER DAY (MY TYPICAL COMMUTE IS ABOUT 60 MILES PER DAY). THE INCIDENTS USUALLY NEVER LAST MORE THAN 20 OR 30 SECONDS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2005 XG350 HAS HAD TWO SPECIFIC PROBLEMS RELATED TO ENGAGING CAR IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATION. WHEN CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT OR FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME AND IT IS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE CAR JUST SITS THERE IN EXCESS OF 15 SECONDS AND THEN TRANSMISSION CLUNKS INTO GEAR AND STARTS GOING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND REAPPEARS IF CAR COOLS DOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN. RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM IS ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. AFTER GEAR FINALLY ENGAGES, THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL CAN SEND THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD QUICKLY. THE OTHER DAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PLACING CAR IN DRIVE, WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR COMING DOWN THE STREET THAT NO DOUBT EXPECTED US TO BE MOVING. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT WENT NOWHERE. LUCKY THE OTHER GUYS STOPPED IN TIME OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS TO DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE OUR PROBLEM. *TR
