2001 HYUNDAI XG300 Complaints

TRAVELING AT 45 TO 55 MPH, ENGINE STALLED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT LED TO LOST OF POWER AND ACCELERATION ON THE VEHICLE. *LA THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THERE WAS A CRACKING SOUND UNDER THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A WIND NOISE AND A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE INJECTORS, GASKETS, IGNITION SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY WERE REPLACED. *JB

WHILE TRAVELING AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION VEHICLE LOST THROTTLE CONTROL. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, AND TECHNICIAN CLAIMED THERE WAS CORROSION ON THROTTLES ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. *AK

WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FROM ANY SPEED VEHICLE VIBRATED. THIS WAS CAUSED BY WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. DEALERSHIP REPLACED AND RE SURFACED THE ROTOR, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS.*AK

I HAVE A HYUNDAI 2001 XG300. SINCE MY PURCHASE IN 2001 UP UNTIL PRESENT AT VARIOUS AND UNPREDICTABLE TIMES, WHEN I ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS/ SHUDDERS CAUSING A NOTICEABLE DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS CONDITION IS AT ALL SPEEDS BUT NOTABLE BETWEEN 35-43 MPH 55-65 MPH. WHEN I'M TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE OR IF I WOULD ACCELERATE TO MOVE OUT-OF ANOTHER VEHICLES WAY I WOULD BE BOGGED DOWN WITH A STUTTER/SHUDDER FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHICH MAY CAUSE AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND UP-DATED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT GET ANY BETTER OR WORSE. IT APPEARS HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS IT MAY BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. *JB

CAR WAS TOWED 3 TIMES IN 2002, OCTOBER AND TWICE IN DECEMBER, TO DEALERSHIP FOR SENSOR FAILURES AND CAR STALLED OUT AT 50 MPH ON MAJOR ROADWAY. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A DUMPTRUCK BEHIND ME, I WAS ABLE TO BARELY COAST INTO A SIDE STREET. ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND WAS FIXED. CAR WAS IN FOR REPAIRS 7 TIMES IN THE 2 YEARS I OWNED IT. I TRADED IN THIS "TOP OF THE LINE HYUNDAI" FOR A BUICK REGAL THAT I LOVE. ONE OF THE CAR SALESMAN TOLD ME TO NEVER BUY A CAR IN THE FIRST YEAR IT IS MANUFACTURED. NOBODY TOLD ME THIS AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT IN MY BRAND NEW 2001 CAR. I WAS INCONVENCIED BY THIS CONTINOUS PROBLEM OF REPAIRS, AS MY OCCUPATION AS A NURSE IS NECESSARY FOR A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY A HYUNDAI AGAIN AND FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE AWARE OF THE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS I'VE HAD.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED WITHOUT WARNING. DEALERSHIP INDICATED IT COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE.*AK

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

WHEN THE VEHICLE SAT OVER NIGHT IN COLD TEMPERATURES AND THE RESTARTED IN THE MORNINGS, THE RPM REVVED EXCESSIVELY HIGH AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL.*JB

CONSUMER ACCIDENTALLY PULLED THE HOOD RELEASE BUTTON, AND THE HOOD FLEW STRAIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALMOST CUT-OFF. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THE PROBLEM IS MAJOR (ELECTRONIC TRANSMITTER (VALVES) SPARK PLUG WIRES). PREVIOUSLY I'VE HAD TWO RECALLS. I NEED SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING HYUNDAI CARS. VERY INCONVENIENCING. TS
