2001 Hyundai XG300 Complaints

DT: THE SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT STOPPED WORKING ON AUGUST 31, 2005. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 500.00 TO 700.00 TO FIX. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS EXTREMELY RARE, THOUGHT IT COULD BE A SENSOR OR SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ODOMETER HAS AN INTERNAL SHORT. *JB

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2001 XG300 SINCE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2001. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF HESITATION ON ACCELERATION AND MAKING A RUMBLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED, I DROVE IT LESS THAN 2 MILES AND IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THE SECOND TIME THE MANAGER SAID HE WOULD TAKE THE CARE HIMSELF AND AFTER HE PUTTING OVER 50 MILES ON MY CARE AND KEEPING IT 4 DAYS IT APPEARED TO BE FIXED. MORE RECENTLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR WAS BUCKING WHILE IN GEAR AND LUNGING WHILE AT A DEAD STOP. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS TO REPLACE THE INDUCTION VALVE, THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET, AIR FLOW SENSOR. (THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PART ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD) AND AFTER 2 WEEKS AND $375.00 FOR A 30,000 MILE CHECK, THE NEXT DAY THE CARE DID THE SAME THING. RETURNED THE CAR THEY KEPT IT 1 DAY STATING IT WAS COMPUTER PROBLEM AND THAT NIGHT THE CAR WAS STILL BUCKING WHILE STOPPED....

DT: WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INTO PASSING GEAR THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START BACK UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED TWICE IN THE SPAN OF A TWO OR THREE YEAR PERIOD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER CHIP THAT CONTROLS THE ACCELERATION. *AK
