THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO SOLUTION TO PREVENT THE LIGHT FROM COMING BACK ON, DESPITE DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND IF MY VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT,THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND RUSTED SUBFRAME COLLAPSED CONTROL ARM & RIGHT AXEL BROKE ALSO POWER STEERING BELT BROKE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER NEARLY HAVING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED IN 2010 AS PER RECALL YET I TRIED TO PUSH FOR SUB FRAME REPLACEMENT OVER REPAIR AT THAT TIME WITH NO LUCK. I BELIEVE THESE SUB FRAMES THAT WERE REPAIRED SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! *TR

AIR BAGS
CHRONIC PROBLEM. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY ILLUMINATED AFTER STARTING ENGINE. DEALER CLEARED FAULT AND ATTEMPTED TO FIX ISSUE MULTIPLE (7+) TIMES, BUT NEVER ACHIEVED A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. EACH TIME IT WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN "RESOLVED" BY MANIPULATION OF CONNECTORS, REROUTING OF CABLES AND/OR REPLACING WIRING HARNESSES. ISSUE HAS BEEN A CHRONIC RECURRING PROBLEM FOR THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND NEVER BEEN MORE THAN TEMPORARILY SUPPRESSED. DEALER DIAGNOSIS PRESENTLY IS THAT A 3RD WIRING HARNESS NOW NEEDS REPLACEMENT, BUT HYUNDAI MOTORS IS DISALLOWING THE WORK AS NOT BEING COVERED BY THE IN-FORCE EXTENDED BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL, AND NOT DRAGGED OUT BY APPLYING INEFFECTIVE BAND-AID FIXES UNTIL SUCH TIME THAN THEY DISAVOW FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM THAT THEY NEVER TRULY FIXED TO BEGIN WITH. BRIEFLY RESEARCHING THE SUBJECT, I FIND IT REMARKABLE AT THE VOLUME OF CONSUMERS REPORTING THE SAME OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. AN INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN FAULT THAT HYUNDAI IS WELL AWARE OF, FOR WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN INCOMPETENT OR UNWILLING TO PROPERLY IMPLEMENT A REMEDIATION POST-SALE. IT IS PARTICULARLY UNCONSCIONABLE THAT THEY ARE IGNORING THEIR MORAL, IF NOT LEGAL, RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE PROTECTION FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS BY INITIALLY DELIVERING, AND SUBSEQUENTLY MAINTAINING SUCH A VITAL SAFETY SYSTEM. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I OWN A 2004 HYUNDAI XG350L THAT IS HAVING ACCELERATOR ISSUES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE STOPPED / IDLING, OR SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. THIS IS WHILE THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED. I CAN BE SETTING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, NOT THE ACCELERATOR, ( I DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET LIKE SOME PEOPLE INCORRECTLY DO : ) AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL REV UP AND TRY AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. IN OTHER CASES, I CAN BE SLOWING DOWN WITH BRAKE APPLIED, AND AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. I HAVE TO REALLY "MASH" THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING FORWARD. ONCE I BRING THE CAR TO A STOP, AND THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL, AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I CAN LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, RESTART IT, AND IT WILL USUALLY BE BACK TO NORMAL. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE, AS SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED COMPLAINTS HAVE......YET. ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, IT HAS BEEN JUST THE OPPOSITE..........I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY GIVEN SPEED, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL JUST STOP ACCELERATING & GO TO AN IDLE. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PETAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT RESPOND. THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING, BUT WILL ONLY IDLE. I ONCE HAD TO DRIVE APPROX. 8 MILES, IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, AT AN IDLE SPEED OF ABOUT 5-10 MPH TO REACH MY DESTINATION : ( THESE WHERE ONCE SPORADIC OCCURRENCES, BUT NOW HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASES. I JUST RECENTLY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE "ACCELERATOR PETAL POSITION SENSOR"; HYUNDAI PN:35357-3B011. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS ISSUE W/ ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS W/ THE XG350, SONATA & SANTA FE, THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I HAVE READ OF CASES W/ HYUNDAI ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED DEATHS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING A HESITATION PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND HAVE NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BROWN HYUNDAI) IN LAREDO TX AND THEY POINT TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS (3) AND THE OXYGEN SENSORS. I HAVE HAD A MECHANIC REMOVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTS AND TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CONVERTERS. THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM REACHES OVER 500 DEGREES. I HAVE MEASURED IT WITH A HEAT GUN. WHILE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROPER TEMPERATURE SHOULD BE I KNOW OVER 500 DEGREES IS WAY TO HIGH. WHILE I WENT TO PICK UP MY HYUNDAI AT THE DEALER HE TOLD ME THEY HAD JUST HAD 2 OTHER VEHICLES XG350'S WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. IF YOU GO ON LINE AND READ SOME OF THE CODES THEY REFER TOO "BAND 1 AND BANK 2 SYSTEM TOO LEAN", THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITHOUT AN EXACT SOLUTION. I BELIEVE THE CODE IS P0174 AND P0171. BOTH THE MECHANICS I HAVE HIRED AND THE DEALER HAVE CHECKED THE LIST OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WHICH INCLUDE: INTAKE AIR LEAKS OXYGEN SENSORS IGNITION MISFIRING FUEL INJECTORS FUEL PRESSURE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. *TR

THE LOWER CONTROL ARM COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE FRAME OF THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NO PROPERTY DAMAGE OR OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED, BUT THE CAR IS UN-DRIVABLE. I HAVE SINCE RESEARCHED THAT HYUNDAI HAS HAD SOME PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH FRAMES RUSTING OUT AND FAILURES SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED. THANK GOD I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I CAN SEND PICTURES IF NECESSARY. *TR

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD REMAINS ILLUMINATED DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF HARNESS BEING TOO SHORT TO ACCOMMODATE MOVEMENT IN DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE VERIFIED THIS DEFECT. THEY QUOTED ME OVER 700.00 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THE ENTIRE MODULE HAS TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE HARNESS IS NOT LONGER AVAILABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL VEHICLE, BUT HYUNDAI IS NOT ADDRESSING THIS DEFECT. IT IS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! *TR

AIR BAGS
THE "AIR BAG" DASH ICON LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. HYUNDAI HAS "FIXED" IT ONCE BY RE-INSERTING CONNECTORS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE "FIX" LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 61,000 MILES ON-STILL UNDER THE 10K MILE WARRANTY, AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON STILL. HYUNDAI KEEPS SAYING THAT IT WILL COST OVER $500 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. HYUNDAI HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, THE INTERNET SEARCHES WILL SHOW THAT. THIS SRS LIGHT PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC WITH ALL HYUNDAIS IN THE EARLY TO MID 2000'S. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW HUNDREDS OF SRS "LIGHT-ON" ISSUES WITH THESE HYUNDAIS. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT ALL THESE MODEL'S SRS SYSTEMS ARE PROBLEMATIC AT BEST AND A TOTAL FAILURE AT WORST. ALL PEOPLE DRIVING THESE MODEL HYUNDAIS ARE ABSOLUTELY AT RISK. A RECALL IS POSITIVELY REQUIRED. LIKE I SAID, JUST DO A SEARCH ON HYUNDAI SRS/AIR BAG/AIRBAG LIGHT AND YOU CAN SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO WHAT IS HAPPENING!? IN NO SEARCH IS THERE A SOLUTION: CHECK CONNECTORS UNDER THE SEAT, JIGGLE THIS OR THAT, BUT NO SOLUTION THAT WORKS AND NO RECOGNITION FROM HYUNDAI OF THE PROBLEM....AND THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. THESE MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND AT THE VERY LEAST HYUNDAI HAS TO COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2004 HYUNDAI XG350. MANY TIMES WHEN I LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT (OR FOR A FEW HOURS) AND THEN START IT BACK AGAIN, THE GEAR DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE GEAR ENGAGES SUDDENLY AND THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS FOR THE FIRST FEW MINUTES WHILE I AM DRIVING. SO WHEN I AM MAKING A TURN, AGAIN THE CAR HAS TO START FROM ZERO, SO IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR THE FIRST FEW SECONDS AND JUST JUMP FORWARD. THIS CAN BE VERY RISKY AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY ON TURNS. ONCE THE ENGINE IS HEATED UP, THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO FOUND OTHER PEOPLE FACING SAME ISSUE BUT NOT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM YET. I WISH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COULD BE FILED AGAINST HYUNDAI. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH WAS ON, AND DEALER SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD SAFETY ITEMS WERE NOT COVERED AFTER THE VEHICLE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IT SEEMS THE AMOUNT TO COVER A SIMPLE CONNECTOR PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS DIRECTLY SAFETY RELATED TO PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN IF THE SRS SYSTEM WOULD WORK OR NOT WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON. HOW CAN THEY DETERMINE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS IF THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS OF THE PROBLEM WILL BE? NOW I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SRS SYSTEM AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
