FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:PRESSURE RELIEF DEVICES
I HAVE A 2002 HYUNDAI XG350. I BOUGHT IT USED IN JULY 2003, AT HUB HYUNDAI WEST IN HOUSTON, TEXAS I HAVE TO KEEP RETURNING IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO HAVE THE FUEL CANISTER VALVE REPAIRED. 3 TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS WHEN I RUN MY CAR THROUGH A AUTOMATED CAR WASH 3 OR 4 TIMES THE CANISTER BECOMES SATURATED WITH WATER AND SHORTS OUT. I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT OTHER HYUNDAI VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ASK THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HUB HYUNDAI WEST IN HOUSTON, TEXAS IF HYUNDAI HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NO. I WOULD THINK THAT SINCE THIS CANISTER IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL DEVICE THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40MPH. THE VEHICLE RESUMED POWER AFTER BROUGHT TO A STOP. THE ONLY WARNING INDICATOR IS THE TCS LIGHT FLASHING DURING THE REDUCTION OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER TWO MONTHS AGO AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, FILTER AND LINES. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO RECOMMENDED GETTING A WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION. THIS WAS COMPLETED AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 HAS A VERY DANGEROUS HESITATION PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS GENERALLY ENCOUNTERED FORM A COLD START OUT OF A PARKING LOT OR GARAGE. THE GAS PEDAL IS SLOWLY DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES, IT RESPONDS NORMALLY. AT OTHER TIMES IT JUST COASTS NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU PUSH ON GAS PEDAL. SUDDENLY IT WILL LURCH FORWARD WITH ENORMOUS TORQUE (DEPENDING ON HOW THE DRIVER RESPONDS TO THE COASTING PROBLEM). THERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS WITH THIS HESITATION: 1) PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND THAN NOT ACCELERATING CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS 2) MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE UNEXPECTED QUICK ACCELERATION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL, HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY, OR WORSE. RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CONSIDERED BY HUYNDAI AT THIS POINT. DENIAL OF OTHER CARS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS ARE COMMON AT FACTORY LEVEL, BUT ARE ADMITTED AT DEALERSHIP LEVEL. INCIDENT DATE IS FIRST TIME. *NM

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME . I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OFF TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAD BUMPER DAMAGE. HAVE HAD THE CAR IN 5 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE DEALER SAID THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LAST TIME THE FACTORY REP CHECKED IT AND SAID HE COULD DO NOTHING BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT DO IT THEN. AS OF 4/20/06 THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS 8 TIMES. IT IS LIKE DRIVING A TIME BOMB. *NM

AM RADIO RECEPTION BECAME VERY WEAK WHEN MY 2004 XG350L WAS ABOUT 16 MONTHS OLD. ONE DAY, THERE WAS NOTICEABLY MORE STATIC ON ALL BUT THE 2 STRONGEST STATIONS, COMPARED WITH ALL THE PREVIOUS DAYS. I LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA, AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF STATIONS WITH A STRONG ENOUGH SIGNAL TO GET CLEAR RECEPTION ON MY WIFE'S CAR, AND MY PREVIOUS CAR, CIRCA 1992. I AM SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT IT. *JB
