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

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING UP ONE MORNING AND REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. I HAVE CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND THEY ARE INTACT. FROM MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE AIRBAG LIKELY IS NO LONGER OPERATIONAL. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE AND AT WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/HYUNDAI_AIRBAGS.HTML DEALERS RANGE OF CAUSES RANGE FROM SIMPLY MOVING THE DRIVERS SEAT CAUSING A CONNECTION FAILURE TO DEFECTIVE AIRBAG MODULE ON MANY OTHER VEHICLE TYPES AS WELL. THIS EXACT IDENTICAL ISSUE OCCURS WITH OWNERS AS FAR BACK AS THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THROUGH MANY YEARS LATER. FROM THE OVERWHELMING EXAMPLES SITED ONLINE, THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL AND/OR AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. IT IS NEGLIGENT TO HAVE SO MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS HAVE THEIR AIRBAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY IN ACCIDENTS AND FOR IT TO SUDDENLY INDICATE FAILURE. THE GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE ACTION BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED FROM A KNOWN DEFECT OF AIRBAGS. HOW CAN THE NHTSA ALLOW SUCH A LARGE NUMBER OF KNOWN SAFETY DEFECTS OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURES TO OCCUR WITHOUT ACTION? THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY TO LIVE IN EVEN LOW SPEED CRASHES AND CAN BE AVOIDED WITH CORRECTION. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
WE OWN AN XG350 HYUNDAI. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER UNDER MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR CORROSION OF SUBFRAME APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS AGO. DEALER PERFORMED MANUFACTURER-SUGGESTED REPAIRS: DRILLED HOLES IN SUBFRAME AND TREATED WITH ANTI-CORROSIVE. THREE YEARS LATER, SUBFRAME COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT AND CAR IS A DANGER TO DRIVE. PROBLEM WAS FOUND WHEN WE NOTICED WHEEL MISALIGNMENT (LOOKED LIKE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS SKEWED) AND THAT CAR COULD NOT GO OVER EVEN SMALL BUMPS WITHOUT SLIDING ACROSS THE ROAD. THE GENTLEMAN WHO INSPECTED THE CAR FOR WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE AN ALIGNMENT, SAID THAT THE CAR WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IN HIS OPINION, WAS "TOTALED". WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE 2 MILES. WHEN WE CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER, HE AGREED TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME AT NO COST, ADMITTING THAT THIS WAS A HYUNDAI PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO HAD THE ORIGINAL "FIX" ARE UNDER A FALSE IMPRESSION THAT THERE IS NO FURTHER REASON FOR CONCERN. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE RUST IS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY NO ONE SAW IT 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN WE HAD SNOW TIRES PUT ON. IT JUST SUDDENLY "BURSTS" FROM THE INSIDE OUT. HE ADMITTED IT WAS DANGEROUS. WE ARE DILIGENT ABOUT CLEANING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR EVERY MONTH AS WE ARE IN A HIGH SALT AREA (MASSACHUSETTS). WE BABY THE AUTOMOBILE AND KEEP IT PERFECTLY. I AM ANGRY BECAUSE MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR AND LAST WEEKEND HE WAS GOING TO TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY FOR A TRIP WITH HIS FRIENDS. IF THE RUST HADN'T "BURST" THROUGH WHEN IT DID, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNAWARE OF THE DANGER AND LET HIM AND HIS FRIENDS TAKE THE CAR. THIS IS A DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN. *JS

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN MY CAR SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT USED. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER FIXED IT, SAYING SOMETHING CAME UNPLUGGED UNDER THE SEAT. THE LIGHT CAME ON APPROXIMATELY A YEAR LATER, WHEN THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH A SENSOR IN THE DOOR AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE APART THE DOOR TO FIX IT. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON MEANS THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR SUCH AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE CAR TO STOP WORKING BECAUSE THE DRIVER MOVES HIS SEAT, ETC. EVERY OWNER OF A HYUNDAI XG350 THAT I HAVE MET AS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE LIGHT COMES ON AND EVERY TIME YOU TAKE IT IN, IT IS FOR A DIFFERENT REASON THAT IS CONVENIENTLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR WHEN YOUR WARRANTY IS UP. HOWEVER IF THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAY IT IS A SEAT ISSUE AND FIX IT QUICKLY AND MAKE NO CONCERN OF IT. *TR

HYUNDAI MOTOR CORPORATION AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR DEFECT. NUMEROUS HYUNDAI MOTOR CARS, XG350, SONATA, ETC. HAVE FAULTY CONNECTORS WHICH PREVENT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FROM WORKING.

THEY RESEAT THE PLUGS IN THE FRONT SEATS AND THEN THEY RESET THE 'COMPUTER' AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES OUT, HOWEVER IT COMES BACK ON AGAIN AFTER A SHORT INTERVAL. THIS 'DEFECT' APPLIES TO NUMEROUS MODELS OF HYUNDAI CARS. IT IS DUBIOUS THE SYSTEM WILL WORK PROPERLY IN THE EVENT IT IS NEEDED IN AN EMERGENCY. *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
