STEERING
MY 2003 HYUNDAI POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING PROPERLY ANYTIME THERE IS STANDING WATER ON THE ROAD AND I DRIVE THRU THE WATER, BE IT A PUDDLE ON THE ROAD OR WATER THAT IS RUNNING ON THE ROAD AND CANNOT BE AVOIDED. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND AT SLOW SPEEDS CAN CAUSE THE MOTOR TO STALL. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT OCCURRING BUT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SUBSTANTIAL RAINS IN THE AREA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HYUNDAI MOTORS WITH NO REPLY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VEHICLE: 2002 HYUNDAI XG350 SEDAN, EQUIPPED WITH ABS SYSTEM AND ANTI-SKID DEVICE. EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: SINCE 2003, ON THREE OCCASIONS THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED- WHILE DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR ACCELERATED. ON THE FIST TWO OCCASIONS NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE CAR STOPPED ON HITTING THE CAR AHEAD. ON THE THIRD OCCASION,IN SEPTEMBER 2009, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND OTHERS. ON THIS LAST OCCASION I HAVE THE IMPRESSING THAT MY RIGHT FOOT WAS FIRMLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT THE ACCELERATOR. IN SPEAKING WITH COMPUTER SPECIALISTS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE MAY BE A FEEDBACK PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE BODY DAMAGE TO ALL CARS HAS BEEN REPAIRED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HYUNDAI XG350 YEAR 2004 MODEL HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS EVIDENCE BY MY DAUGHTER. I TRIED TO BREAK NUMEROUS TIMES, AND FINALLY THE CAR GOT CAUGHT UP ON A BUSH. IT WAS AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT STOP, AND IT WAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE CAR, BUT REWROTE THE LOAN WITH THE 10 K ORIGINAL DOWN PAYMENT GETTING LOST IN THE PAPERWORK. REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW OF THIS FORUM BACK THEN. CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY, BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE MATTER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL IS ERRATIC AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED ON OCCASION. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL JUMP QUICKLY AT THE SMALLEST TOUCH OF THE ACCELERATOR AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE FASTER THAN ABOUT 5 MPH NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE THROTTLE IS PRESSED. THIS CAUSES SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AS ENTERING A ROADWAY CAN BE DANGEROUS WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER AVAILABLE AT TIMES. IT ALSO MAKES NAVIGATING A SMALL AREA SUCH AS A PARKING LOT UNSAFE WHEN THE POWER IS DELIVERED FAR TOO QUICKLY. INCIDENTS TYPICALLY HAPPEN 3-4 TIMES PER DAY (MY TYPICAL COMMUTE IS ABOUT 60 MILES PER DAY). THE INCIDENTS USUALLY NEVER LAST MORE THAN 20 OR 30 SECONDS. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF DUE TO SOMETHING GETTING TOUCHED UNDER THE SEAT. MANY TIMES WHEN UNDER WARRANTY, THEY RESET IT. BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY I CALLED TO HYUNDAI TO SEE IF THIS IS A DEFECT AND TO SEE IF THE LIGHT ON MEANS THEIR IS NO AIRBAG WORKING AND COMPLAIN THAT IF MY KID PUT HIS FOOT UNDER THE PASSENGER CHAIR OR IF A BOOK WENT UNDER IT, IT SHOULDN'T TRIGGER THE AIRBAG TO SHUT OFF BUT NO ONE EVER GOT BACK TO ME. I CALLED UP THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT THE LIGHT ON DOES MEAN THE AIRBAG IS OFF AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF A RECALL BUT THIS HAPPENS A LOT. I THINK IT IS A DEFECT . WHY WOULD MAKE IT SO THAT ANYTHING CAN GET UNDER THE SEAT TO TRIGGER WIRES TO TURN OFF IMPORTANT THINGS.. I WOULD HATE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND NOT HAVE A PASSENGER AIRBAG... I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS FIRST STARTED AND IF ST CHARLES HYUNDAI KEPT TRACK OF EACH TIME THEY FIXED IT FOR ME. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
MY EMERGENCY BRAKE HANDLE WITH PART OF THE METAL ROD STILL INTAKE BROKE OFF WHILE RELEASING IT. IT WAS ONLY AFTER THE FACT THAT I RECALLED A FEW TIMES WHEN I HAD THOUGHT I HAD RELEASED IT BUT THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL REMAINED ON. I CALLED MY DEALER THEY ORDERED A "BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY AND HANDLE" SINCE IT IS ALL ONE UNIT. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THIS MUST BE A DEFECT TO BOTH THE DEALER AND CORPORATE BUT SINCE I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I STILL HAVE ONLY THE BROKEN HANDLE WITH METAL ATTACHED. I WAS INFORMED THE FIRST REPLACEMENT PART WAS "BROKE" AND AWAITED A SECOND REPLACEMENT. THE ASSEMBLY HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED. *TR
