STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
THE POWER STEERING HOSE SPRANG A LEAK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO AN AAA SERVICE CENTER. THE TECHNICIAN EXPRESSED SHOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS PUT ON A LIFT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF FRAME CORROSION, ESPECIALLY IN THE CRADLE OF THE ENGINE, WHERE THERE WAS ACTUALLY A HOLE. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF PROBLEM IN A RECENT VINTAGE CAR (2002). I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT HAS BEEN IN A GARAGE FOR MOST OF ITS LIFE. IT HAS FEWER THAN 90,000 MILES. I'M TOLD THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME. OTHERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
AS MY WIFE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE OFF AND THE WHEEL COLLAPSED. THE WHEEL, TIRE, FENDER, AXLE AND C/V JOINTS WERE ALL DAMAGED. MY WIFE WAS LUCKY THAT SHE WASN'T DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AT THE TIME. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED "BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY" , BECAUSE IT WAS A WEAR ITEM. THE CAR HAS ONLY 68,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A HYUNDAI XG 350. THE WARRANTY, QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE OF THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION IS DEFECTIVE AND UNRELIABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND ANOTHER HYUNDAI PRODUCT. *JB

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:DELIVERY, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THE 2004 HYUNDAI XG350 IN FEBRUARY 05. IN SUMMER OF 06 I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DIGITAL READING OF MILES TOGO BEFORE "E". IT DOES NOT RESET WHEN GAS HAS BEEN PUT IN, IT TAKES A FEW TURNS OF THE KEY TO REGISTER. I WAS DRIVING MY SON TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING AND AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO GO UP A HILL THE CAR BEGAN TO STUDDER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED,IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING WASNT CATCHING IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. WHEN I STOPPED A THE RED LIGHT AND SLOWLY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. OF COURSE THE PROBLEM DIDNT HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DROVE. THEY CHANGED THE SENSOR AND IT HASNT BEEN SYMPTOM FREE. STILL SLOW TO RESET GAS MILEAGE, STILL STUDDERS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN IT STARTS TO STUDDER I AM ABLE TO DRIVE UNDER 60MPH, SHIFTING DRIVE 1-2-3 LIKE A STICK SHIFT. ONCE I TRY TO GO OVER 60 MILES PER HOUR (HIGHWAY) CAN NOT DO IT WITHOUT CONTINUOUS STUDDER.
