• 12/30/2008· POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  2005 XG350 HAS HAD TWO SPECIFIC PROBLEMS RELATED TO ENGAGING CAR IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATION. WHEN CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT OR FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME AND IT IS PLACED IN DRIVE, THE CAR JUST SITS THERE IN EXCESS OF 15 SECONDS AND THEN TRANSMISSION CLUNKS INTO GEAR AND STARTS GOING. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DAILY WHEN CAR IS FIRST STARTED AND REAPPEARS IF CAR COOLS DOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN. RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM IS ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. AFTER GEAR FINALLY ENGAGES, THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL CAN SEND THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD QUICKLY. THE OTHER DAY WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THEN PLACING CAR IN DRIVE, WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR COMING DOWN THE STREET THAT NO DOUBT EXPECTED US TO BE MOVING. EVEN THOUGH WE HAD PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT WENT NOWHERE. LUCKY THE OTHER GUYS STOPPED IN TIME OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS TO DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE OUR PROBLEM. *TR

• 12/17/2005· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WITH THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, OR, AT OTHER TIMES, WILL NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR POSITION. THESE TWO OPPOSITE AND EXTREME CONDITIONS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY BUT WITH ENOUGH FREQUENCY THAT ANYONE THAT I HAVE ALLOWED DRIVE THE VEHICLE (EXCEPT THE SERVICE TECH!) HAS EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT JUST AN IRRITATING PROBLEM BUT A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY ENTER A ROADWAY WITH ANY AMOUNT OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SPEED WHEN EITHER OF THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR. EITHER THE CAR LURCHES AHEAD SO VIOLENTLY THAT CONTROL IS IMPOSSIBLE OR IN DIRECT CONTRAST, CREEPS ALONG SO SLOWLY THAT THE CAR BECOMES A ROAD HAZARD, THREE DAYS AGO I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY A SNOWPLOW DUE TO THE LATTER PROBLEM!. *JB

  MY 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 HAS EXPERIENCED SUA, (SUDDEN UNWANTED ACCELERATION) TWICE IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND THE NHTSA TOO MANY TIMES. TWICE, I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT , EVEN WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE VERY HARD. I WONDER WHY, AFTER SO MANY COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA AND THE NHTSA, THAT THIS VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE DIDN'T WARRANT A RECALL, SINCE THIS PROBLEM GOES BACK TO 2006.

  AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE LATE 2013. READING ENTRIES POSTED ON SITE, AND TALKING WITH FORMER HYUNDAI MECHANIC, THIS IS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE THAT AT LEAST 60 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STEERING ISSUE WHERE THE BOLTS LOCKING THE WHEEL IN PLACE SHEERED OFF, I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY IN 2015 GET IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO FIX. AS OF 2018 THE STEERING IS PROBLEMATIC AGAIN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STICKING AND NOW A SQUEAKING NOISE OCCURS WHEN TURNING RIGHT.

IT SEEMED TO BE CORRECTED BUT IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THAT AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO TURN OF. BUT, NOW, IT IS ON PERMANENTLY AND THE MECHANIC WHO I SOUGHT IN SEPTEMBER 2014 TO GET IT TO TURN OFF WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. APPROXIMATELY DURING THE SAME TIMEFRAME, THE RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF. OFTENTIMES IT WILL DO SO SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO TURN OFF. *TR

• 11/03/2012· AIR BAGS

  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

  I WAS ALMOST PARKED AT THE CURB IN FRONT OF A DRUGSTORE WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE EASING INTO SPOT WHEN CAR LURCHED FORWARD, JUMPED THE CURB AND VIOLENTLY CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE WALL ABOUT 6-7 FEET AWAY. WALL, NOT BRAKE, STOPPED CAR. PEOPLE CAME OUT FROM STORE AS CRASH WAS HEARD/FELT INSIDE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF I DIDN'T HAVE SEATBELT ON. AS IT WAS, MY CHEST WAS EXTREMELY SORE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS FROM SEATBELT. AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. CAR WAS TOTALED THANK GOD AS I WOULD NEVER DRIVE IT AGAIN. SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH SAME ISSUE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS. HYUNDAI LINE IS CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN CAR WAS CHECKED BY THEM AFTER ACCIDENT SO IT IS DRIVER ERROR. I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND STILL CONSIDER THAT I DIDN'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT NOT SURE OF INSURANCE COMPANY'S STAND IF I BUY ANOTHER CAR, IF I CAN FIND A SAFE ONE AFTER ALL OF THE RECALLS. THIS SITUATION IS UNACCEPTABLE. *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.
