2001 Hyundai XG300L

THE CAR AS WE ARE COMING OFF FREEWAY RAMP AND WE SLOWING DOWN THE CAR WILL DIE OR EVEN IN THE CITY WHEN APPROACHING LIGHT THE CAR WILL DIE WE HAVE THE CAR MAINTAINED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THIS IS QUITE CONCERNING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT AND YOUR CAR STALL AND YOU HAVE CARS APPROACHING YOU FAST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HYUNDAI XG300L. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS VERY LOW; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A LACK OF OIL. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NONE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE ANY FAILURES. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT THE SERVICE SHOP AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92,000. UPDATED 4/21/08 *CN THE RACK AND PINION WAS REPLACED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HYUNDAI XG300L. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL GET STUCK IN THIRD GEAR AND GO INTO SAFE MODE. THE FAILURE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER, A LOCAL KIA MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CAUSE OF FAILURE MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 43,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

DT: CONTACT STATED THERE WAS 20,800 MILES ON CAR AND ON 8-2-05 THE SERVICE DEALER TOLD HIM THE BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR BRAKES WORN OUT. HAD NEW TIRES PUT ON, AND THAT WAS WHEN THEY TOLD HIM THE CALIPERS ON THE REAR WERE CORRODED. THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI ON 8-4-05 STATING THAT THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE CALIPERS BE INSPECTED EVERY 15,000 MILES . THE CONSUMER WAS GOING BY HIS MANUAL WHICH STATED EVERY 30,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER VEHICLE BECAUSE HE FAILED TO HAVE IT INSPECTED; BUT WAS GOING BY OWNER'S MANUAL, AND HE JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI. *AK

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS BECAUSE I CAN FEEL A VERY ROUGH JERK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH AND/OR AGAIN AT 50-65 MPH. I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A 4TH APPOINTMENT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DATES ARE 9/29/03 ODOMETER = 35831; 3/27/04 ODOMETER = 43206; 5/29/04 ODOMETER = 45826. CURRENTLY ODOMETER = 53991. EACH TIME THE REPAIR, WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY, INVOLVED A SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD. ON 5-29-04, THE SOP CRUISE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. NOW I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WILL SOON EXPIRE AND I WILL EITHER HAVE TO START PAYING FOR THE REPAIR OR BUY A NEW CAR SOONER THAN I HAD PLANNED. I LIKE BOTH THE CAR AND THE DEALER. I JUST WANT TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. *NM

ON TWO OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD A CHIP IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF MY 2001 HYUNDAI 300L, THE FIRST TIME WAS AUGUST 2002, THIS WAS REPAIRED THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THE SECOND TIME WAS IN NOVEMBER 2002 - THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAS A HYUNDAI ACCENT AND HE JUST HAD A STONE CHIP AND WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACE. I HAD MINE FIXED AT SAFE-T-GLASS IN WALLKINLL NY AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY FIX MORE HYUNDAI WINDSHIELDS THAN ANY OTHER CAR. MY FRIEND HAD HIS REPLACED AT ROSEN'S GLASS IN MIDDLETOWN, NY THIS PAST WEEK AND THE OWNER STATED THAT HYUNDAI GLASS IS "'!@#$%" AND THEY HAVE REPLACE A "TON" OF THEM. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS IS A DEFECTIVE SAFETY PRODUCT AND CAN THIS BE CHECKED INTO? THANK YOU - KEN NAGLE. *NLM
