2005 Hyundai XG 350 air bags problems

“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????????????????????”

“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.”

“AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE LATE 2013. READING ENTRIES POSTED ON SITE, AND TALKING WITH FORMER HYUNDAI MECHANIC, THIS IS A WIRING HARNESS ISSUE THAT AT LEAST 60 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STEERING ISSUE WHERE THE BOLTS LOCKING THE WHEEL IN PLACE SHEERED OFF, I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY IN 2015 GET IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO FIX. AS OF 2018 THE STEERING IS PROBLEMATIC AGAIN WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STICKING AND NOW A SQUEAKING NOISE OCCURS WHEN TURNING RIGHT.”

“THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT EXTINGUISH. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THIS HAPPENED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE LIGHT. IT CAME ON AGAIN AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME TO RESET THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN RESET MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS NOW ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT RESET. I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT PROPERLY WORK IN AN ACCIDENT.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HYUNDAI XG350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONTACT FELT AS IF THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (COURTESY HYUNDAI, 939 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861) WHERE THE WIRE HARNESS AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK WERE DIAGNOSED AS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND WERE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. *TR”

“THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. DEALER HAD REPAIRED 2 OR 3 TIMES IN EARLY YEARS. SEEMS THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER DRIVER SEAT IS TOO SHORT. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR NEW HARNESS AND THE DEALER WILL NOT ASSURE IT WILL NOT ALSO COME LOOSE.”
