THE "AIR BAG" DASH ICON LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. HYUNDAI HAS "FIXED" IT ONCE BY RE-INSERTING CONNECTORS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE "FIX" LASTED A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 61,000 MILES ON-STILL UNDER THE 10K MILE WARRANTY, AND THE LIGHT STAYS ON STILL. HYUNDAI KEEPS SAYING THAT IT WILL COST OVER $500 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. HYUNDAI HAS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, THE INTERNET SEARCHES WILL SHOW THAT. THIS SRS LIGHT PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC WITH ALL HYUNDAIS IN THE EARLY TO MID 2000'S. AN INTERNET SEARCH WILL SHOW HUNDREDS OF SRS "LIGHT-ON" ISSUES WITH THESE HYUNDAIS. THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT ALL THESE MODEL'S SRS SYSTEMS ARE PROBLEMATIC AT BEST AND A TOTAL FAILURE AT WORST. ALL PEOPLE DRIVING THESE MODEL HYUNDAIS ARE ABSOLUTELY AT RISK. A RECALL IS POSITIVELY REQUIRED. LIKE I SAID, JUST DO A SEARCH ON HYUNDAI SRS/AIR BAG/AIRBAG LIGHT AND YOU CAN SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO WHAT IS HAPPENING!? IN NO SEARCH IS THERE A SOLUTION: CHECK CONNECTORS UNDER THE SEAT, JIGGLE THIS OR THAT, BUT NO SOLUTION THAT WORKS AND NO RECOGNITION FROM HYUNDAI OF THE PROBLEM....AND THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE. THESE MODELS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND AT THE VERY LEAST HYUNDAI HAS TO COME UP WITH A REAL SOLUTION. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASH WAS ON, AND DEALER SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTOR ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $400 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD SAFETY ITEMS WERE NOT COVERED AFTER THE VEHICLE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. IT SEEMS THE AMOUNT TO COVER A SIMPLE CONNECTOR PROBLEM IS EXCESSIVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS DIRECTLY SAFETY RELATED TO PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER COULD NOT EXPLAIN IF THE SRS SYSTEM WOULD WORK OR NOT WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON. HOW CAN THEY DETERMINE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS IF THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE RESULTS OF THE PROBLEM WILL BE? NOW I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THE SRS SYSTEM AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 L OCTOBER 23,2012. ONE WEEK LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT, THE YELLOW CONNECTOR. IF IT IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED THE WARNING LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. I LOOKED FOR IT AND FOUND IT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO REACH FAR ENOUGH TO DISCONNECT IT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO WIGGLE THE CONNECTOR AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. IT APPEARED THAT SOMEONE HAD BEEN UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT BEFORE TO ADJUST THAT CONNECTOR AS IT WAS HANGING AND DID NOT LOOK TO BE PROPERLY PLACED. THE NEXT DAY THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF AGAIN AND IT REMAINS ON. A HYUNDAI SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE TO FIND OUT THAT WHEN THAT LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT PEOPLE HAVE PAID TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED MORE THAN ONCE AND HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND IT JUST CONTINUES. THIS IS A DEFECT AND HYUNDAI HAS RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS YET THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. INSTEAD THEY CONTINUE TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE TO REPAIR A PART THAT CAN NOT BE REPAIRED AS IT IS DEFECTIVE. I GOT A PRICE QUOTE TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR. THE PART ALONE IS OVER $130. THE LABOR MORE THAN TRIPLES THE COST. OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM AS EARLY AS THE 1ST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP IN 2005. IT IS NOW ALMOST 2013 AND HYUNDAI STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT WILL COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHICH HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, 01/15/2008 29,000MILES & 08/28/2012 77,490. APPARENTLY WHEN AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH! I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH REGARDS TO HYUNDAI XG350 AIR BAG PROBLEM WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR SAFETY. FOR EXAMPLE HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HYUNDAI/XG350/FRONT-AIR-BAG-SENSOR-CONTROL-PROBLEMS.PHP DESPITE MANY PEOPLE SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS TO RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN! HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND REPLACE THE AIRBAG FAULTY MODULE WHICH COSTS THE CONSUMER $700. MY LOCAL HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER IS AWARE OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEM AND ALL XG350 OWNERS HAVE MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT! THEY IN TURN REFER OWNERS' COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!!! *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED HOWEVER IT CONTINUES TO REOCCUR AND HAS OCCURED 8 TIMES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. HYUNDAI HAS "FIXED" THE PROBLEM BY ADJUSTING A CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT HOWEVER THE PORBLEM CONTINUES TO REOCCUR. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 8 TIMES AND AFTER THE LAST "REPAIR" 3 WEEKS AGO THE WARNING LIGHT IS BACK ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON WE HAVE NO AIRBAG PROTECTION. CHECKING THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR WHICH HYUNDAI HAS NO REAL FIX. HYUNDAI IS NOW CHARGING US TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM BUT THE FIX ONLY LAST 2-4 WEEKS AND THE WARNING LIGHT GOES BACK ON. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND APPARENTLY OCCURS FREQUENTLY WITH THE XG350. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND A PERMANENT FIX MADE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED WHEN THE AIRBAGS DO NOT ACTIVATE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

2005 HYUNDAI XG350L. AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO REST THE LIGHT AND SAID IT WAS A LOSE CONNECTION AND NOT TO PUT ANYTHING UNDER THE SEAT OR MOVE THE SEAT. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS. WITHIN WEEKS THE LIGHT ALWAYS CAME BACK. AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES TO HAVE FAULTY AIRBAGS/LIGHTS TO WHICH THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. THE DEALER DID INDICATE THAT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS THE AIR BAG WAS DISABLED AND IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

THE BUILDING WAS ALSO DAMAGED AND TWO CVS EMPLOYEES REPORTED SUFFERING MINOR INJURIES FROM THE INCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE AN 2005 HYUNDAI XG350. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE INSPECTED AND I FAILED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. THE INSPECTOR SAID IT IS IN THE BOOK THAT IT HAS TO FAIL WITH THIS LIGHT ON. THE LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON. FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR IN PA. IN 2008. I WAS TOLD THE LIGHT WAS NOTHING AND IT WOULD GO OUT. I GOT MY CAR INSPECTED LAST YEAR AND IT WAS ON THEN. I NOW HAVE TO PAY A $89 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IT WAS SOLD TO ME THIS WAY AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY $89. I MAKE MY $300 PAYMENTS I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE GOODS, THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL BY NOW. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THERE WAS A LOOSE PIN IN THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. THE TECHNICIANS TIGHTENED THE PIN; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO JERK AFTER THE REPAIRS. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR AN UNRELATED FAILURE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED THIS 2005 XG350 IN 2007 WITH 11,600 MILES AND UNDER WARRANTY AND TODAY'S MILEAGE IS 62,600 MILES. WHEN STARTING VEHICLE TODAY HUSBAND STATED CAR SEEMED TO BE RUNNING A LITTLE ROUGH AND I SAID IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE WE PUT THE NEW BATTERY IN DECEMBER 2010. WE DROVE 30 MILES AT AVERAGE OF 55-60 MPH WITH LITTLE STARTING OR STOPPING. AFTER TURNING INTO THE PARKING LOT WE HAD TO DRIVE ABOUT 200 FEET TO PARK. HE TOOK HIS FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP. THE ENGINE PROGRESSED TO 6500 RPM'S AND COULDN'T SHIFT TRANSMISSION OUT OF DRIVE, HAD BOTH FEET ON BRAKE AND THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF HOOD. WHEN HE FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WASN'T GOING TO STOP IT HE THEN TURNED OFF THE KEY AND FRONT WHEELS CONTINUED TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND TRIED TO CLIMB THE SIDEWALK AND EVENTUALLY SHUT DOWN. AFTERWARDS HE STATED HE FELT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ACTUALLY MOVE UNDER HIS FOOT AND THEN TOOK HIS FOOT OFF AND PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES. WE WERE EXTREMELY SHAKENED BY THIS EVENT AND FEARFUL FOR THE RETURN DRIVE FOR OUR SAFETY AND OTHERS WE MAY ENCOUNTER. WE RETURNED HOME SAFELY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT BUT VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY IN FUTURE. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. HOWEVER I DID REPORT TWICE TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT DECELERATION PROBLEMS. OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS AFTER STARTING VEHICLE, IT HAD NO POWER TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. FIRST TIME COULD TURN OFF CAR AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND THEN RESTART AND WOULD RUN FINE. SECOND TIME DROVE 1/2 MILE AND TURNED OFF CAR. WHEN RESTARTING THERE WASN'T ANY ACCELERATION POWER OVER 10 MPH HAD TO PULL OVER TURN OFF CAR 3 OR 4 TIMES BEFORE IT RAN FINE. THE 3RD TIME HAD TO TURN OFF CAR 3-4 TIMES TO GET IT TO RUN CORRECTLY. DEALERSHIP DID TAKE OUT BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER TO CORRECT PROBLEM HOWEVER NOW I'M HAVING THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM THAT IS VERY SCARY. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPORT BUT IT WAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND THEY CLOSED AT 1PM. WILL CONTACT DEALER FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, IF ANY. *TR

WE ARE HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. *TR
