HYUNDAI XG350 YEAR 2004 MODEL HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEM. THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AS EVIDENCE BY MY DAUGHTER. I TRIED TO BREAK NUMEROUS TIMES, AND FINALLY THE CAR GOT CAUGHT UP ON A BUSH. IT WAS AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT STOP, AND IT WAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. HYUNDAI REPLACED THE CAR, BUT REWROTE THE LOAN WITH THE 10 K ORIGINAL DOWN PAYMENT GETTING LOST IN THE PAPERWORK. REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW OF THIS FORUM BACK THEN. CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY, BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE WITH THE MATTER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE STEERING ASSEMBLY SEPARATED FROM THE CROSS MEMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALSO HE STATED HIS VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL # 09V124000 (SUSPENSION). HOWEVER HE IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THAT IF NOT RESOLVED POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.

THE ELECTRIC SEAT HEATERS DO NOT WORK. WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRENTY THE DEALERSHIP RELPACED A FUSE AS A FIX. ONE WEEK LATER THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATING PAD IN THE SEAT.(REMOVING THE SEAT). LATER, WHILE THE CAR WSA STILL UNDER WARRENTY, THEY REPLACED A FUSE. AFTER THE CAR PASSED 60,000 MILES, (OFF WARRENTY), BOTH SEATS HEATERS DID NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THE FIX WOULD COST ME $600.00.... *TR

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.
