 I have ongoing problems with my car since after purchase in 2007. hyundai case #3479162 check engine light was going on and staying on unless the battery would die. failed emissions said to be caused by air sensors but codes kept getting whipped out.car has been to dealer countless times! car lunges thrashing motion while at a stop or driving. the air bag light stays on at all times,the first time the lunging happened i thought i was out of gas, with the exception of the violent thrashing that occured/s. my cars control panel,headlights and interior lights dim,shut off at will. all radio & control panel lights come on and go off at any time. the radio starts changing from fm to am to cd at any given time including while the car is turned off and unattended. the tail lights, brake lights and running lights also turn on/off by themselves whether driving the car or if the car is sitting in my driveway. i have to get my car jumped every time i go to start it .it wasn't until earlier this year that a neighbor came to let me know that i left my lights on in the middle of the night. i knew nobody had been in my car because i was recovering from a major surgery and my car keys are always with me. this incident with the neighbor shed light on part of the problem. now i know why my battery is constantly dead. i just don't know why the car is turning on it's electrical components. the ongoing problem with the battery drain has caused the codes for the car to keep being erased so there is no way to diagnose cause for the check engine /air bag light coming on. it's frightening that the lights go on or off, day or night, without cause. this is very dangerous while night driving! the stalling out while driving causes complete loss of the steering/brakescontrols and all power. i am terrified of hwy driving now! i could cause an accident that may kill me or someone else!the thrashing and lunging of the car scares me. the electrical is going on at least 8x day/night. this car is dangerous! *tr

 I have a hyundai 2001 xg300. since my purchase in 2001 up until present at various and unpredictable times, when i accelerate the transmission stutters/ shudders causing a noticeable delay in acceleration. this condition is at all speeds but notable between 35-43 mph 55-65 mph. when i'm trying to pass another vehicle or if i would accelerate to move out-of another vehicles way i would be bogged down with a stutter/shudder from the transmission which may cause an unsafe condition. i've been to the dealership and they have been very helpful and up-dated the transmission computer but the problem did not get any better or worse. it appears hyundai is aware of the problem because they have a service bulletin on the problem. my concern is it may be a safety problem. *jb

 My hyundai xg300 will not move and than plunges forward out of my control, does this the initial drive of the day anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes of driving. sometimes it just does it out of the blue, when stopped at a stop light. i spoke with one of your representatives today. i just got back from the store - when started my car, put it in drive and i almost hit the car in front of me, my car would not move and than it plunged out and i hit the brakes in time! this was way too close for comfort, and my body is still upset m as i type! we have a great driving record, great insurance rates and we are not antisipating a change, but if this problem is not corrected i could be looking at an accident or something worse! do you advise we stop driving until the problem is corrected? you site has listed recalls for xg300, same defect , manufactured between a certain date, of which mine was manufactured on 1/9/2001. the dealer told me he found nothing wrong, i wish i would have viewed your site before i saw the dealer, maybe me knowing would have helped him locate the problem. what should i do, take it back to the dealer? *ak

 Dt*: the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the automatic transmission pcm condenser failed resulting in a hesitation while accelerating. also, while stopped at a stop sign, the engine revved to a high level and suddenly decreased. the vehicle was seen by a dealer who reprogrammed the pcm, but the problem persisted.
04/15/20043400015
 Intermittently will either stall or launch forward while driving. dealership replaced the pcm as indicated in the power train recall 01v362000, although the vin number was not included in the recall. the replacement of this part didn't correct the failure.*ak
