1. HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED AND ROTORS RECALIBRATED TWICE AND STILL HAVE VIBRATION UPON BRAKING. DEALERSHIP SAYS I'M NOT BRAKING PROPERLY AND CAUSING BRAKES TO OVERHEAT, WHICH CAUSING ROTORS TO WARP. I'VE BEEN BRAKING THE SAME WAY FOR 35 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. 2. AIR CONDITIONER STILL DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS A LEAK IN THE A/C COOLANT, BUT THEY CANNOT FIND IT. 3. CAR CONTINUALLY STUTTERS AT HIGH SPEEDS, DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 4. ENGINE BEGAN MAKING CLACKING NOISE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. DEALERSHIP SAID BAD GAS WAS CAUSE, BUT HIGH-GRADE GASOLINE HAS NOT FIXED PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A TUNE-UP, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT HEAR NOISE, BUT NOISE IS CLEARLY AUDIBLE WHEN ACCELERATED AND CLIMBING HILLS (2-4 RPMS). DEALERSHIP STILL SAYS THEY DON'T HEAR A PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS OF MAJOR CONCERN TO ME, AS I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. 5. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND WON'T GO OFF, ALTHOUGH NOTHING IS WRONG IS AIRBAGS. 6. RADIO HAS A SHORT THAT CAUSES RADIO TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IF A CD IS PUT IN THE CD PLAYER AND LEFT THERE WHILE RADIO IS IN USE, THE RADIO WORKS FINE. 7. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2001, I CAN'T FIT THE REPAIR AND WORKORDER SHEETS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT ANY MORE, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS KNOW ME BY NAME AND SIGHT. *NM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED VEHICLE 9-5-03. FIRST OCCURRENCE OF VIOLENT ENGINE SURGES OCCURRED ON 9-18-03. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM ,AND TOLD ME IT SHOULD BE OKAY. ENGINE SURGES/SHIFTS OCCURRED RANDOMLY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS WITH ANOTHER DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE IN DECEMBER 2005 AT CROWDED SHOPPING MALL. DEALERSHIP EACH TIME TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THEY COULD DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FIX IT. FOLLOWING A TRIP TO DEALERSHIP IN FEBRUARY 2005 DEALERSHIP CHANGED ACCELERATOR SENSOR WHICH SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT, BUT SPEEDOMETER WENT OUT IN MAY. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT WOULD NOT ABLE TO FIX PROBLEM(S) UNLESS PROBLEM COULD BE DUPLICATED. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR 34-POINT CHECK , AND SPEEDOMETER PROBLEM IN OCTOBER. PICKED UP REPAIRED VEHICLE NEXT DAY, HOWEVER, SPEEDOMETER ON ZERO AGAIN AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP, WHO CHANGED TRANSMISSION TO CORRECT PROBLEM. PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 11-8-05 FOLLOWING REPAIR. ON 11-18-05 WHILE SLOWING DOWN AT APPROACH TO BUSY INTERSECTION HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO BRING VEHICLE TO STOP AND ALMOST HIT CAR AHEAD OF ME. CAR VIOLENTLY LURCHED FORWARD UNTIL PUT IN NEUTRAL, ENGINE REVVED SO HARD I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. TURNED ENGINE OFF, AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP, WHO CALLED ME ON 11-22-05 AND TOLD ME VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED, BUT UPON EXAMINATION OF SERVICE ORDER, FOUND NO SERVICING HAD BEEN DONE. DECEMBER 12, 2005 HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAD A REGIONAL SERVICE TECHNICIAN PERFORM 15 MINUTE TEST DRIVE OF MY VEHICLE. TECHNICIAN STATED BASED ON HIS INSPECTION THERE WA S NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME ON JANUARY 10 2006, AND SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE IT, NOT WANTING TO RISK MY LIFE OR OTHERS WHILE I CONTINUE TO SEND IN MONTHLY PAYMENTS. *AK

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
2003 HYUNDAI TIBURON GT V6 2.7 LITER PURCHASED USED WITH APPROX. 40,000 MILES ON IT. PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM DEALERSHIP. 2 1/2 WEEKS LATER THE CLUTCH WENT OUT. TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. TOLD THAT CLUTCH, PRESSURE PLATE, AND FLYWHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED $1900 NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. TOLD THAT WAS DUE TO DRIVING HABITS. FOUND OUT THROUGH RESEARCHING LOOKING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT THERE IS A TSB 04-40-005 RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM WITH A "CAUSE CODE" OF "DEFORMED". OUR CAR FALLS UNDER ALL THE CONDITIONS ON THIS BULLETIN, HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP WILL STILL NOT REPAIR THE CAR. CALLED HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, HAD NOT DECIDED TO DO A RECALL OR TO OFFSET ANY COSTS OF REPAIRING THESE PROBLEMS AT THIS TIME. THERE WERE "LOOKING INTO" THE PROBLEM. FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM WITH THIS IDENTICAL VEHICLE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HYUNDAI 2003 XG 350 HAD INCIDENTS OF LURCHING POWERFULLY FORWARD OR BACKWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WOULD BE PRESSED HARD ON THE BRAKES. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE THIRD TIME IT DID IT, I HAD IT IN REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND WHILE MY WIFE WAS TRYING TO ENTER THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE, THE CAR RABBIT JUMBED BACKWARD AND CAUSE HER INJURIES THAT WARRANTED TAKING HER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ON SEPTEMBER 12 2005. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAD THE SAME EXACT EXPERIENCE AND THAT THEY ALL HAD TROUBLE CONVINCING HYUNDAI OF THE PROBLEM. IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE BEHAVIOR THEN THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PORBLEM. I TRY TO DUPLICATE THE BEHAVIOR AND IT TOOK ME ABOUT 15 TRIES TO SUCCEED. SOME INTERNET COMPLAINERS REPORT THAT THEY SUCCEEDED IN CONVINCING THE DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FOR THEM. HYUNDAY SHOULD ADMIT THE PROBLEM AND RECALL CARS.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 XG300 SINCE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2001. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF HESITATION ON ACCELERATION AND MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED, I DROVE IT LESS THAN 2 MILES AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THE SECOND TIME THE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD TAKE THE CARE HIMSELF AND AFTER HE PUTTING OVER 50 MILES ON MY CARE AND KEEPING IT 4 DAYS IT APPEARED TO BE FIXED. MORE RECENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR WAS BUCKING WHILE IN GEAR AND LUNGING WHILE AT A DEAD STOP. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS TO REPLACE THE INDUCTION VALVE, THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET, AIR FLOW SENSOR. (THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PART ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD) AND AFTER 2 WEEKS AND $375.00 FOR A 30,000 MILE CHECK, THE NEXT DAY THE CARE DID THE SAME THING. RETURNED THE CAR THEY KEPT IT 1 DAY STATING IT WAS COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT NIGHT THE CAR WAS STILL BUCKING WHILE STOPPED. I WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AGAIN BUT I BELIEVE THIS CAR TO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS CAR HAS ALSO BEEN TOWED 3 TIMES. ANOTHER INCIDENT, THE CAR CUT OFF AND STAYED IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 DAYS FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. I WILL BE CHECKING THE LEMON LAW CRITERIA. *JB
