This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai XG350. While the vehicle was undergoing routine maintenance by an independent mechanic, it was discovered that the passenger side frame was rotting away. The mechanic stated that the vehicle should no longer be driven. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle and nothing could be done. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 105,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2005 Hyundai XG350. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and was informed that the subframe was rusted. The vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 75,244.
I was almost parked at the curb in front of a drugstore with my foot on brake easing into spot when car lurched forward, jumped the curb and violently crashed into the concrete wall about 6-7 feet away. Wall, not brake, stopped car. People came out from store as crash was heard/felt inside. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't have seatbelt on. As it was, my chest was extremely sore for several weeks from seatbelt. Airbag didn't deploy. Car was totaled thank god as I would never drive it again. So many complaints with same issue no recalls or service bulletins. Hyundai line is can't find anything wrong when car was checked by them after accident so it is driver error. I've been driving for many years and never had an accident and still consider that I didn't have an accident but not sure of insurance company's stand if I buy another car, if I can find a safe one after all of the recalls. This situation is unacceptable.
