Hyundai Xg350 2002

• Recall 87397 [USA]: If that happens, the vehicle may lose drive power to the wheels, and the front wheel may make contact with the fender or wheel well, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
  Hyundai is recalling 188,282 my 2001-2004 sonata and my 2001-2004 xg300 and xg350 vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. Road salt applied in these jurisdictions during the winter months may result in progressive, internal corrosion of the front sub-frame on the vehicles, and may result in thinning or perforation of the sub-frame steel. The corrosion is frequently visible and often discovered during inspection or routine maintenance, and owners may also hear noises or notice tire misalignment and steering pull. If these signals are undetected or unheeded, the corrosion may progress and the forward mounting of the lower control arm may detach from the sub-frame.
  dealers will measure the thickness of the front sub-frame and inspect the front sub-frame for corrosion damage and, if necessary, the front sub-frame will be replaced with a new sub-frame that incorporates additional holes in the upper and lower panels. If the front sub-frame does not require replacement, the dealer will add drainage holes to the sub-frame and will treat the sub-frame with rust-proofing material to stop the corrosion process. This procedure will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2009. Owners may contact the hyundai customer assistance center at 1-800-633-5151.
  hyundai recall no. 089.Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov .

• Recall 2009123 [Canada]: Structure
  On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage (ontario, quebec, new brunswick, nova scotia, prince edward island, and newfoundland & labrador), road salt can collect in the rear portion of the side members of the subframe and may result in internal corrosion leading to thinning or perforation of the subframe steel. The corrosion may ultimately lead to separation of the lower control arm at the forward mounting point to the subframe. When separation occurs, in most cases, the movement of the arm will cause the axle to pull out of the transaxle and the vehicle will no longer have drive power to the wheels. In extreme cases, the wheel can also rotate off its designed axis and make contact with the fender or the wheel well. Both outcomes could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the front subframe assembly. Should the subframe not require replacement, drainage holes will be added, as well as treatment with rust-proofing material to arrest the corrosion process.

• Recall 2004130 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the fuel tank assembly valve may not close properly. If a vehicle with a fuel tank assembly valve that is not properly closed were to roll over, fuel spillage could occur. Fuel spillage in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire. Correction: dealer will install an additional fuel tank assembly valve.

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.

My hyundai xg 350 2002 had a little over 100,000 miles on it. On 2/12/2018, while driving on a route 17 south in mahwah, nj, i hear a high pitch cracking sound with a smoke coming out of the car and soon the car became disabled on the side of highway route 17 s leaking a engine oils all over the place. At the body shop, they found out that the the bottom part of the engine got cracked with a adult-fist size hole leaking engine oils all over the place. The owner of the body shop mentioned that it is his first time to see the engine got cracked with such a big hole. It appears that the engine has a major defect and could have caused a major problem unless the driver quickly moved the car to the road side before it became completely disabled. I feel so lucky that it didn't happen while my wife or my daughters were driving, and it happened to me, while i was driving. Only slightly over 100,000 miles and the engines got cracked, unbelievable.

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

As my wife was pulling into a parking spot, the driver's side lower ball joint broke off and the wheel collapsed. The wheel, tire, fender, axle and c/v joints were all damaged.

Left rear drivers side "thumping" noise as car neared the 60,000. Mile mark, it seems that this is reported b y hyundai as a worn shock bushing which wear out naturally (hyundai's wording) and needs replacing, other friends having hyundais have gone well past 60k and have not had this issue, but we certainly will never purchase or recommend a hyundai to anyone, since everything seems to be the buyers issue according to hyundai. *tr

The power steering hose sprang a leak. I had the car towed to an aaa service center. The technician expressed shock when the car was put on a lift because of the amount of frame corrosion, especially in the cradle of the engine, where there was actually a hole. He said he had never seen this kind of problem in a recent vintage car (2002). I bought this car new and it has been in a garage for most of its life. It has fewer than 90,000 miles. I'm told this is a serious safety issue because the engine could fall out at any time. Others should be aware of this problem. *tr

The engine has periods where it will accelerate on its own. The engine will run rough while at the same time the rpms will increase dramatically.

This time was only two days after the vehicle was returned as "repaired". The vehicle was towed to the shop. Dealer has replaced several components to include electronics and the throttle body. I was told that the last repair involved actual rewiring of accelerator components based on recommendations from the manufacturer. The problem is a serious safety concern. *nm

I have a 2002 hyundai xg350. I bought it used in july 2003, at hub hyundai west in houston, texas i have to keep returning it to the hyundai dealer to have the fuel canister valve repaired. 3 times since i've owned the vehicle. It seems when i run my car through a automated car wash 3 or 4 times the canister becomes saturated with water and shorts out. I have recently found out that other hyundai vehicles are having the same problem. I ask the service manager at hub hyundai west in houston, texas if hyundai had issued a service bulletin to fix this problem and was told no. I would think that since this canister is an environmental device that hyundai should issue a recall to fix this problem. *jb

In a straight front-end crash of 30+ mph, all airbags failed to deploy. *jb

Dt: contact stated after putting grand son in car sea. She got in the vehicle, looked back, and saw that he was between the seat belt and the side of the vehicle. He said he was choking, the seat belt was around his neck. The seat belt was cut to release the child. She cut the seat belt from around his neck. No injuries were reported. The rear seat belt will be replaced at no charge. The vehicle was under warranty.*ak

Airbag wire harness is worn down due to it being located under drivers seat,causing the airbag light to come on and either intermittently stay lit or remain on continuously. Therefore, there is no way to know whether the airbags will deploy or not according to the service rep. The repair is not covered under extended warranty, even though it is a vital piece of safety equipment, and due to poor design it is regularly damaged. I had this issue addressed in 2005, it occurred occasionally after that until last year when the light came on and stayed on all the time. I have been on the internet and there are many complaints about this very same issue occurring with this vehicle dating from 2001, when there was a recall issued, all the way to 2006 when the model was replaced by a different one. According to the remarks, people have had collisions where none of the airbags deployed , or the curtain airbags didn't. There also was a recall in canada. How can a manufacturer get away with such poor quality design for such an important piece of equipment? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 hyundai xg350. During routine vehicle inspection the technician replaced defective stabilized bushings and tie rods. Also the sub-frame was replaced according to recall campaign id number 09v124000 (suspension). The manufacturer was contacted in reference to reimbursement. The manufacturer refused financial responsibility for the repair cost associated with the recall. The failure mileage was 50. The current mileage was 90,000. The vehicle identification number was unavailable.

The air bag light stayed on after starting the car - all else seemed ok. I called the dealer and he said it was not important that a connector had probably just come loose and that the air bag would probably still work if needed. When i took it to the dealer he removed the driver's side seat and said he found a broken wire and repaired it - at a cost of about $56 - for a car that has a "bumper-to-bumper" warranty. It was suggested that we must have put something under the seat that caused the wire to break when the seat was moved - this seat automatically moves every time the car is started and stopped. About six months later the same thing happened again. This time it was the passenger's seat that had a broken wire under it. This seat is moved less frequently, but it is a power seat. As far as i know the only thing under that seat was a box of tissues. Again i was required to pay for the repair. I believe this to be a design defect in that anything that is allowed to get under the seat will cause this wire to be severed and prevent the side air bags from deploying. I have never had a car that had any problem with items under the seat. Also this design has a sort of "pan" or depression under each seat that traps any loose article left on the floor when the car is stopped and it slides under the seat. It never slides back out when accelerating. This seems to just make the problem worse. I do not believe that any normal item left on the floor of the car should cause this damage and debilitate the air bag system. *jb

My 2003 hyundai power steering stops working properly anytime there is standing water on the road and i drive thru the water, be it a puddle on the road or water that is running on the road and cannot be avoided. The steering becomes very hard to control and at slow speeds can cause the motor to stall.

The alignment shop explained to the contact the maximum out on the vehicle was 5.8 this vehicle was 5.5 on the right hand side and 0.0 on the left hand side. This caused the tires to wear out quickly even with rotation. The dealership would not provide assistance. The contact was the original owner of the vehicle and it has never been in an accident. *ak
