MY 2005 HYUNDAI XG350L WAS DEEMED "UNDRIVEABLE" TONIGHT AT THE SERVICE CENTER (AFTER BEING TAKEN IN FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE), AS THE FRAME WAS CORRODED TO THE POINT OF NEARLY-CRUMBLING. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN IN IOWA (ALWAYS PARKED IN GARAGES) FROM THE YEAR OF PURCHASE IN 2005 TO AUGUST 2016. THE SALT CORROSION RECALL COVERS MODEL YEARS 2001-2004, BUT MYSTERIOUSLY DOES NOT INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2005. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT HYUNDAI DOES NOT COVER MY UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR AN ISSUE THEY CREATED AND FOR WHICH THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. THIS IS A DISAPPOINTING AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL"-MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS! I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI XG350L IN AUGUST 2012 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND. IN 2014, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT'S BEEN ON EVER SINCE. THE LIGHT ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAD OPEN-HEART SURGERY IN JUNE 2012 AND WAS, AND STILL AM IN FEAR OF ANYTHING POSSIBLY HITTING ME IN MY CHEST! THEREFORE, I TOOK THE CAR TO BE CHECKED AT TWO DIFFERENT NATIONALLY-KNOWN AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS. I ALSO TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. I HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN TOLD THERE WERE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS FOR THE HYUNDAI CARS AND TO CHECK ON A POSSIBLE RECALL SOON. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTED AIRBAGS! I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR FOR THIS REASON, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE. MY DRIVING IS LIMITED THOUGH. PLEASE RECALL SO THIS ISSUE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO MY HEALTH! THANK IN ADVANCE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. WHEN A TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL, A BULB ILLUMINATES. THEREFORE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING ALL OF MY LIGHTS, BRAKE FLUID, AND BRAKES CHECKED. ESPECIALLY SINCE BEFORE ANY OF THE ABOVE ISSUES AROSE, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP! I HAD TO COME TO A ROLLING STOP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY SEVERALL MECHANICS. NONE OF THEM COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE " MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER & SERVICED SO THEY ARE AWARE. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT A RECALL. ON HOW THEY PLAN TO FIX THESE SAFETY ISSUES. WHAT IS HYUNDAI DOING ABOUT THE AIR BAGS. MY 84 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE DRIVING SO I SWAPPED CARS. NOW I'M DRIVING A CAR KNOWING THAT FRAGMENTS COULD EXPLODE IN MY FACE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.!!!!

BOUGHT THE CAR IN SUMMER OF 2010 FROM DEALER WHO HAD SOLD IT NEW TO SOMEONE ELSE. 2 DAYS LATER THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND POINTED THIS OUT. THEY SAID THERE WAS A SODA CAN UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEY TURNED LIGHT OFF, NO PROBLEM. LIGHT BACK ON IN ABOUT 1 WEEK. AT NEXT MAINTENANCE THEY TURNED IT OFF AGAIN. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS OR ADVISORIES AND THEY INSISTED THAT MY PROBLEM CANE FROM AN EMPTY SODA CAN THEY SAID WAS UNDER THE SEAT. TO FIX IT I WAS TOLD WOULD COST MORE THAN $ 2000. SO NOW WHEN I GO FOR STATE INSPECTION I FIRST GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE HIM TURN THE LIGHT OFF FOR $50.00, THEN STRAIGHT TO INSPECTION PRAYING THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME BACK ON. DEALER INSISTED THERE WERE NO COMPLAINTS OTHER THAN MINE. THEN I LEARNED ABOUT THIS SITE. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AND NO ONE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT.

2016 WINNEBAGO VISTA WFE30T, SERIAL NUMBER 10E42U189473, BUILT ON 2016 FORD F53 MOTORHOME CHASSIS: THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THE TRANSMISSION TOW HAUL FEATURE, "PROVIDES ENGINE BRAKING IN ALL FORWARD GEARS, WHICH WILL SLOW YOUR VEHICLE AND ASSIST YOU IN CONTROLLING YOUR VEHICLE WHEN DESCENDING A GRADE. DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS AND LOAD CONDITIONS, MAY DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION, SLOW YOUR VEHICLE AND CONTROL VEHICLE SPEED WHEN DESCENDING A HILL, WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE AMOUNT OF DOWNSHIFT BRAKING PROVIDED WILL VARY BASED UPON THE AMOUNT THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED." I HAVE DESCENDED SEVERAL 8 PERCENT GRADES WITH TRANSMISSION IN THE TOW HAUL MODE WHILE APPLYING HEAVY MANUAL BRAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER DOWNSHIFTED TO APPLY ENGINE BRAKING. FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED COULD LEAD TO BRAKE FAILURE. THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS INVOLVING THE 2016 FORD F53 CHASSIS WITH 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION ON AN OWNERS GROUP FORUM HAVING THE FOLLOWING WEB LINK: HTTP://WWW.IRV2.COM/FORUMS/F23/DOWNSHIFTING-2016-F53-6-SPEED-266197.HTML I HAVE BEEN TO A FORD DEALER WHO, AFTER ROAD TESTING, AGREED WITH MY DIAGNOSIS, BUT RESPONDED THAT FORD IS DENYING THERE IS A PROBLEM.
