2005 Hyundai XG350

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
