Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Body & structure reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

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.

Crash reported

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. *TR
