VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PURCHASED XG350 IN DECEMBER 2005 ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN FIRST LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY NOTICED THAT WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. AFTER RELEASING AND TRYING A COUPLE MORE TIMES THE CAR THEN LURCHED FORWARD. THAT WAS SHORTLY AFTER THE PURCHASE. NOW HAVE A LITTLE OVER 26,000 MILES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SEEMED TO SURGE FORWARD FOR THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. ON JULY 16, 2007 LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND TO PRESSURE. KEPT TRYING FOR ABOUT 1/2 MILE PRESSING AND RELEASING AND JUST AS I WAS GOING TO TURN AROUND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AND DROVE FINE FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO A HYUNDAI REPAIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT SOON AS THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IF PULLING INTO OR DRIVING IN HEAVE TRAFFIC. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCURANCES MY 05 HYUNDAI XG350, WHEN IN CITY TRAFFIC AT APPROX 35MPH, FAILED TO DROP ENGINE RPM WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED DURING A TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP. TO STOP THE CAR, I HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR TO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE RACED THEN IMMEDIATELY DROPED TO AN IDLE. THIS EASILY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN INCIDENT HAD I NOT SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. LOCAL DEALER ADVISED THAT ALL WAS OK - NO PROBLEMS!

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SPEED CONTROL - ACCELERATION. ON 10 OCCASIONS SINCE 03/05 THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN BE DEPRESSED, NOTHING HAPPENS, AND THEN THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF. YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST STRAW - BACKING UP AND IT DID IT. WHEN IT DID TAKE OFF WITH ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED ABOUT HALF WAY, IT TOOK OFF AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS READY FOR IT TO DO THAT I COULDN'T GET IT STOPPED QUICK ENOUGH AND IT HIT A POLE. IT TORE REAR BUMPER. I HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY KEPT CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TOLD US UNTIL THEY CAN GET IT TO DO IT WHILE THEY HAD IT - THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. SO FAR WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID GETTING HIT. CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY NHTSA HASN'T ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. PERHAPS BECAUSE NO DOCUMENTED DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED.....*JB

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2005 HYUNDAI XG350. THE AIR BAG LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON IN THE CAR. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT A PLUG BENEATH THE SEAT CAME OUT. ALTHOUGH IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY SOMETHING GETTING CAUGHT UNDER THE SEAT, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THAT. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS MANY TIMES AND HAS ATTEMPTED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI BUT IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TURNED DOWN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IF IT IS HAPPENING MANY TIMES AS THE DEALER DESCRIBED IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON AUGUST 18, 2005 WE PURCHASED A NEW 2005 XG HYUNDAI. THAT SAME DAY, AFTER EST DRIVING, I REPORTED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DID NOT GIVE A SMOOTH TRANSITION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO IT BEING NEW. 1.0 THE FOLLOWING MONTH, WE DROVE THE CAR TO MYRTLE BEACH SC (APPROX 1000 MILES). AFTER LEAVING A RESTAURANT, AND ATTEMPTING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC ACROSS FOUR (4) LANES OF TRAFFIC, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND I ENTERED THE FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC AT IDLE SPEED. THIS PROVED TO BE VERY DANGEROUS. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HOUND DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED NO FAILURES ACCORDING TO THEIR COMPUTER, AND SAID WE MUST BRING THE CAR IN WHILE IT IS PERFORMING IMPROPERLY. THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE AT MYRTLE BEACH, BUT IN LESS DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. 2.0 UPON RETURNING TO ST LOUIS, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CLOSEST HOUND DEALERSHIP FOR INVESTIGATION. AGAIN THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO FAILURES 3.0 THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED WHILE IN ST LOUIS AND OCCUR ABOUT 8 TIMES THEREAFTER. 4.0 I ASKED FOR A MEETING WITH THE AREA SERVICE REP. TWO WEEKS LATER HE ARRIVED, DROVE THE CAR AND SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. 5.0 THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ( ABOUT JUNE 2006) TWICE WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. . 6.0 THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN FAILED. I DROVE AT IDLE SPEED, WITH FLASHERS ON, FOR ABOUT 5 TO 7 MILES. . WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR (5) BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FROM HOUND, BUT SEEMS WORTHLESS SINCE THEY INTEND TO DO NOTHING. WE NEED YOUR HELP [XXX] *NM UPDATED 07/12/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
