2002 Hyundai XG 350 problems

“IN 2007, WITH A LITTLE OVER 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND RESET IT. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE HAD SIX OTHER INCIDENTS UP THROUGH 2014 WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING BACK ON AND EVERY TIME THEY'VE RESET IT, IT HAS COME BACK ON. I HAVE EVEN HAD A MODULE REPLACED BUT IT DID NO GOOD. THE LAST TIME I WENT IN, THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE PAD ASSEMBLY FOR $1,000 BUT WOULDN'T GUARANTEE IT WOULD WORK. THEY ALSO SAID IT MIGHT BE THE HARNESS BUT THAT PART COULDN'T BE OBTAINED. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAGS WOULD WORK!!! I HAVE LOOKED AT OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL WEBSITES AND SEE THAT THERE ARE DOZENS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN A MINOR TRAFFIC INCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR HIT THE CURB BUT DIDN'T. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR”

“THE TORQUE CONVERTER & TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE IN THIS TRANSMISSION, THE F5A51 MITSUBISHI/HYUNDAI TRANSMISSION. MINE STARTED GOING OUT RECENTLY, AT 75K MILES! THIS PROBLEM/DEFECT IS ALSO VERY WELL KNOWN TO HYUNDAI/KIA/MITSUBISHI AND THEY CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE ISSUE & INSTEAD TRY TO BLAME THE OWNERS & CLAIM THAT WE'VE BEEN NEGLECTFUL OR ABUSIVE TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS SIMPLY NOT THE CASE. I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN, HYUNDAI & MITSUBISHI KNOW OF THE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THESE PARTS AS WELL AS DEFECTS WITH THE CRANKSHAFT IN THE ENGINE BUT CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT AND CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE KNOWN DEFECTS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE CAR, LUCKILY MINE IS ONLY HAVING ISSUES WITH THOSE TWO PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION SO FAR. PLEASE HELP ALL OF THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THAT TRANSMISSION & ENGINE WITH EVEN GREATER PROBLEMS THAN MY OWN.”

“VEHICLE: 2002 HYUNDAI XG350 SEDAN, EQUIPPED WITH ABS SYSTEM AND ANTI-SKID DEVICE. EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE: SINCE 2003, ON THREE OCCASIONS THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED- WHILE DRIVING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH, UPON DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR ACCELERATED. ON THE FIST TWO OCCASIONS NO DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE CAR STOPPED ON HITTING THE CAR AHEAD. ON THE THIRD OCCASION,IN SEPTEMBER 2009, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND OTHERS. ON THIS LAST OCCASION I HAVE THE IMPRESSING THAT MY RIGHT FOOT WAS FIRMLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, NOT THE ACCELERATOR. IN SPEAKING WITH COMPUTER SPECIALISTS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE MAY BE A FEEDBACK PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER CONTROL SYSTEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE BODY DAMAGE TO ALL CARS HAS BEEN REPAIRED. *TR”
