2005 Hyundai XG350 Airbags 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.

"TAKATA RECALL"-MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS! I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI XG350L IN AUGUST 2012 FROM A DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND. IN 2014, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT'S BEEN ON EVER SINCE. THE LIGHT ONLY GOES OFF WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. I HAD OPEN-HEART SURGERY IN JUNE 2012 AND WAS, AND STILL AM IN FEAR OF ANYTHING POSSIBLY HITTING ME IN MY CHEST! THEREFORE, I TOOK THE CAR TO BE CHECKED AT TWO DIFFERENT NATIONALLY-KNOWN AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS. I ALSO TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. I HAVE CONSTANTLY BEEN TOLD THERE WERE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS FOR THE HYUNDAI CARS AND TO CHECK ON A POSSIBLE RECALL SOON. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RECALL ON THESE DEFECTED AIRBAGS! I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR FOR THIS REASON, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE. MY DRIVING IS LIMITED THOUGH. PLEASE RECALL SO THIS ISSUE IS NO LONGER A THREAT TO MY HEALTH! THANK IN ADVANCE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS. WHEN A TOUCH THE BRAKE PEDAL, A BULB ILLUMINATES. THEREFORE I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING ALL OF MY LIGHTS, BRAKE FLUID, AND BRAKES CHECKED. ESPECIALLY SINCE BEFORE ANY OF THE ABOVE ISSUES AROSE, I ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON BRAKES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP! I HAD TO COME TO A ROLLING STOP. I IMMEDIATELY HAD THE CAR CHECKED BY SEVERALL MECHANICS. NONE OF THEM COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE " MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER & SERVICED SO THEY ARE AWARE. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT A RECALL. ON HOW THEY PLAN TO FIX THESE SAFETY ISSUES. WHAT IS HYUNDAI DOING ABOUT THE AIR BAGS. MY 84 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS DRIVING THIS CAR AND I DID NOT FEEL IT WAS SAFE DRIVING SO I SWAPPED CARS. NOW I'M DRIVING A CAR KNOWING THAT FRAGMENTS COULD EXPLODE IN MY FACE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.!!!!

BOUGHT THE CAR IN SUMMER OF 2010 FROM DEALER WHO HAD SOLD IT NEW TO SOMEONE ELSE. 2 DAYS LATER THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND POINTED THIS OUT. THEY SAID THERE WAS A SODA CAN UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEY TURNED LIGHT OFF, NO PROBLEM. LIGHT BACK ON IN ABOUT 1 WEEK. AT NEXT MAINTENANCE THEY TURNED IT OFF AGAIN. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS OR ADVISORIES AND THEY INSISTED THAT MY PROBLEM CANE FROM AN EMPTY SODA CAN THEY SAID WAS UNDER THE SEAT. TO FIX IT I WAS TOLD WOULD COST MORE THAN $ 2000. SO NOW WHEN I GO FOR STATE INSPECTION I FIRST GO TO THE DEALER TO HAVE HIM TURN THE LIGHT OFF FOR $50.00, THEN STRAIGHT TO INSPECTION PRAYING THE LIGHT DOES NOT COME BACK ON. DEALER INSISTED THERE WERE NO COMPLAINTS OTHER THAN MINE. THEN I LEARNED ABOUT THIS SITE. LIGHT COMES ON WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AND NO ONE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT.
