THE SUSPENSION AND BRAKES WILL LOCK UP AND WHEN IT IS WET I HAVE SLID INTO BANKS OF DIRT AND HIT MY OTHER VEHICLE AND IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST I GO. I HAVE HAD MY BRAKES CHECKED AND HAVE HAD TO GET A WHEEL ALIGNMENT EVERY MONTH FOR THE LAST 12 MONTHS DUE TO SUSPENSION. *TR
I HAVE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO COMPLAINT ODI ID NUMBER : 10165481. 1. MY BRAKES WOULD VIBRATE TERRIBLY WHEN GOING DOWN HILL. THIS HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT 10000 MILES ON THE CARE I REPLACED THEM WITH CERAMIC PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS THIS LARGELY FIXED THE PROBLEM. 2. RADIO HAS A SHORT THAT CAUSES RADIO TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IF A CD IS PUT IN THE CD PLAYER AND LEFT THERE WHILE RADIO IS IN USE, THE RADIO WORKS FINE. MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63000 3. ENGINE BEGAN MAKING CLACKING NOISE ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO. DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE CLACKING NOISE YET. MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65000 4. GAS CAP DOOR POPPED OPEN WHILE DRIVING THEN WHEN PARKED AND VEHICLE TURNED OFF DOOR RELEASE MECHANISM WILL AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATE CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN. UNPLUGGED DOOR SWITCH AT DOOR AND USE MANUAL RELEASE IN TRUNK. MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65000 NOT RESOLVED 5.

2001 HYUNDAI XG300 HAD BAD BRAKES. *CC THE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CORROSION. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY POOR MATERIALS. *NM
1. HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED AND ROTORS RECALIBRATED TWICE AND STILL HAVE VIBRATION UPON BRAKING. DEALERSHIP SAYS I'M NOT BRAKING PROPERLY AND CAUSING BRAKES TO OVERHEAT, WHICH CAUSING ROTORS TO WARP. I'VE BEEN BRAKING THE SAME WAY FOR 35 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. 2. AIR CONDITIONER STILL DOES NOT COOL PROPERLY AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL TIMES. DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS A LEAK IN THE A/C COOLANT, BUT THEY CANNOT FIND IT. 3. CAR CONTINUALLY STUTTERS AT HIGH SPEEDS, DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS. 4. ENGINE BEGAN MAKING CLACKING NOISE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. DEALERSHIP SAID BAD GAS WAS CAUSE, BUT HIGH-GRADE GASOLINE HAS NOT FIXED PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A TUNE-UP, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANNOT HEAR NOISE, BUT NOISE IS CLEARLY AUDIBLE WHEN ACCELERATED AND CLIMBING HILLS (2-4 RPMS). DEALERSHIP STILL SAYS THEY DON'T HEAR A PROBLEM AND CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS OF MAJOR CONCERN TO ME, AS I'M AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. 5. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND WON'T GO OFF, ALTHOUGH NOTHING IS WRONG IS AIRBAGS. 6. RADIO HAS A SHORT THAT CAUSES RADIO TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IF A CD IS PUT IN THE CD PLAYER AND LEFT THERE WHILE RADIO IS IN USE, THE RADIO WORKS FINE. 7. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2001, I CAN'T FIT THE REPAIR AND WORKORDER SHEETS IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT ANY MORE, AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS KNOW ME BY NAME AND SIGHT. *NM
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
BOTH REAR BRAKE CALIPERS GOT HUNG UP WHILE APPLYING BRAKES, DEALER CONTACTE, AND REPLACED CAPLIPERS. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
NOTE - REPORTED AIRBAG FAILURE EARLIER, THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. ON OCT 11TH, DURING A RAIN STORM TWO DOGS WALKED INTO THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF MY CAR. I HIT THE BRAKES, AND HAD PLENTY OF PEDAL YET THE CAR CONTINUED ONWARD. MY INITIAL REACTION WAS THAT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP BUT QUICKLY IT BECAME APPARENT THAT I COULD NOT. I ATTEMPTED TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT HOPEING THAT I WOULD SLOW THE VEHICLE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND THE DOGS. THE CAR BARELY SLOWED AND I CONTINUED OFF THE ROADWAY STRIKING A POLE PERHAPS 100 FEET OFF OF THE ROADWAY. AT THE TIME I WAS MOST BOTHERED BY THE AIRBAG FAILURE WICH I REPORTED EARLIER. THOUGH I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND MY FAILURE TO STOP, I DID NOT REPORT IT AS A BRAKE FAILURE BECAUSE I HAD PLENTY OF PEDAL AT THE TIME, NOR TO BE HONEST DID I HEAR THE SOUND OF TIRES SLIGING ON THE PAVEMENT. FRANKLY, I COULD NOT EXPLAIN MY FAILURE TO STOP. WHEN THE CAR WAS SENT IN FOR REPAIRS THE TRACTION CCONTROL LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. AFTER ALL BODY WORK WAS COMPLETED THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO COVINGTON PIKE HYUNDAI, THE DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR INSPECTION. AT THAT TIME THEY REPLACED THE "TRACTION CONTROL" MODULE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY RETURNED TO ME, THE BRAKES GENERALLY WORKED AS EXPECTED. HOWEVER, THE FIRST TIME IT RAINED I HIT THE BRAKES AGAIN IN A PANIC STOP AT ONLY ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR WENT INTO A SKID. IT WAS ACTUALLY LIKE BEING ON ICE. UPON RETURN TO THE DEALER THEY TESTED THE VEHICLE REPEATEDLY. ON ONE OCCASION THE MECHANIC EVEN ADMITTED THAT THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS DURING ONE PANIC STOP. THE SLIDING WAS PARTICULARLY OBVIOUS WHEN THE STREETS WERE WET. THE DEALER FINALLY FOUND THAT OF THE SIX BRAKE LINES GOING INTO THE ANTILOCK BRAKE MODULE, ONLY TWO WERE IN THE CORRECT FITTINGS (THE REAR WERE COMPLETELY REVERSED). THE MECHANIC, MR. JOE GRIFFIN, ASSURES ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM "FROM THE FACTORY" IN THAT THEY HAD TO ACTUALLY USE TUBE BENDERS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK
NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK
CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO THE APPLY THE BRAKES, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE, VEHICLE HIT A TELEPHONE POLE, DRIVER SUFFERED HEAD INJURIES, AND PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BROKEN SHOULDER AND RIBS.*AK *SLC
