2005 Hyundai XG350

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai XG350. The contact stated upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change, she was informed that the subframe was severely corroded and had holes and cracks in the subframe. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V124000 (Suspension). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under the recall as the VIN was not included. A case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

The under body frame and oil container rotted and the frame came apart. Problem was noticed with oil change. I noticed that all of these models years were recalled except 2005 ... why not? They were virtually the same car. I want a repair or a rebate for this manufacturer problem since I have less then 100000 miles on this 15 year old car.

The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai XG350. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was a strong fuel odor coming from the vehicle. In addition, there was fuel leaking from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V345000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Fuel System, Diesel, Fuel System Other). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 157,000.

1) The vehicle idle is too high. It jerks forward every time I'm at a stop then I want to go forward. I have almost ran into the back of other cars while waiting at a stop sign. 2) The bolts and Subframe is coming detached from the car. It has been confirmed by dealership and franchise auto repair places (2 of them) that the car motor is knocking around and the subframe is loose! I've currently spent over $2000 alone in repairs on the suspension, rack and pinion & oil leak & manifold intake issues since purchase in 2019. Besides the check engine light turning on and off, there was no prior warning of the subframe and/or it's bolts being rusted out prior to purchase or prior to mechanics telling me about this dangerous repair needing done. Why is the 2001-2004 XG350 have recalls on this but not the 2005 year model that is exactly the same specs and materials used as the 2004????????????????????

MY SUBFRAME RUSTED STRAIGHT THROUGH LIKE THE OLDER MODELS OF THE SAME CAR DESCRIBED I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM OVER MANY YEARS NOW BUT I TOOK MY CAR IN RECENTLY TO GET AN ALIGNMENT AND THAT'S WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT IT HAD RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT SAFE OR USUAL THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD THE SAME RECALLED SUBFRAME, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI XG350. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRAME WAS ROTTING AWAY. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE FRAME ON MY XG350 2005 IS VERY BADLY RUSTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT 100K MILES. ALL OTHER YEARS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE!! WHY NOT THE 2005 MODEL? OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. MANY OTHERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE. ALSO, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED ONCE AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE. PROBLEM IS REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS.

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.
