MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH 2001 HYUNDAI, XG300. THE RADIO WOULD COME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND WOULD FREQUENTLY COME ON AND COME OFF BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD TWICE, NO DEALER DO REPAIRS. *BF GASOLINE INDICATOR DID NOT WORK PROPERLY, A NEW FUSE HAD TO BE PUT IN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. THE CONSUMERS SON WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT JUST DIED. *TC *JB

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BATTERY HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

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
