| I have a 2004 hyundai xg350. many times when i leave the car overnight (or for a few hours) and then start it back again, the gear does not engage when i put it in drive. when i press the accelerator, after a few seconds, the gear engages suddenly and the car lurches forward. the problem persists for the first few minutes while i am driving. so when i am making a turn, again the car has to start from zero, so it wouldn't move for the first few seconds and just jump forward. this can be very risky at times, especially on turns. once the engine is heated up, there is no problem. i have also found other people facing same issue but not fix for this problem yet. i wish a class action lawsuit could be filed against hyundai. | |||

| We have a 2004 hyundai xg 350, on at least a half a dozen occasions, while coming to a stop, the car would suddenly accelerate and would not stop while pressing on the brake, luckily we were able to avoid any accidents. we took it to our local hyundai dealer on 10/20/10, they told us it was the throttle position sensor, they replaced it, said it was fixed. yesterday, 11/28/10, it did the exact same thing again, only this time we weren't as lucky. my husband tried to stop as he pulled into our driveway, the car suddenly accelerated, and he ran into the front of our house. the front bumper of the car has minimal damage, our house has a huge dent in the front of it. needless to say, it could have been much worse, he wasn't injured, but he or someone else could have been. the car is currently at our local dealership again, they called today and said they couldn't find a problem with it and hyundai says they have no record of this problem on this model of car, so imagine my surprise to find several complaints on the nhtsa website. someone is covering up this problem somewhere, i hope it doesn't take someone getting seriously injured or killed for something to be done about it. | |||

| Hyundai xg350 year 2004 model had unintended acceleration problem. the car jumped the curb when pulling into a parking spot. my foot was on the brake as evidence by my daughter. i tried to break numerous times, and finally the car got caught up on a bush. it was as if the gas pedal was stuck. the car just would not stop, and it was slightly damaged. hyundai replaced the car, but rewrote the loan with the 10 k original down payment getting lost in the paperwork. reporting this because i did not know of this forum back then. contacted an attorney, but they said there was nothing that could be done with the matter. *tr | |||

| I bought the 2004 hyundai xg350 in february 05. in summer of 06 i began having problems with the digital reading of miles togo before e. it does not reset when gas has been put in, it takes a few turns of the key to register. i was driving my son to school one morning and as i tried to accelerate to go up a hill the car began to studder, check engine light appeared,it felt like something wasnt catching in order for the vehicle to move. when i stopped a the red light and slowly took my foot off the brake it would lunge forward. i ended up having to have it towed to the dealer. of course the problem didnt happen when they test drove. they changed the sensor and it hasnt been symptom free. still slow to reset gas mileage, still studders, check engine light. when it starts to studder i am able to drive under 60mph, shifting drive 1-2-3 like a stick shift. once i try to go over 60 miles per hour (highway) can not do it without continuous studder. | |||

| Dt: the contact was traveling on a very busy street at a low speed. he was directly behind a delivery truck. he was constantly braking and then moving slowly, the contact's foot was never on the accelerator pedal. the engine suddenly accelerated without warning and the contact hit the back of the truck at about 3 mph. the brakes were applied, but the vehicle failed to stop before hitting the truck. the front of the vehicle sustained heavy cosmetic damage and the hood was damaged as well. no police report was taken at the scene. there were no injuries sustained. the vehicle was seen by the service dealer for diagnostic testing, and the results were negative. therefore, no repairs were made. the primary concern of the contact was that he saw a similar complaint filed by another vehicle owner online. *ak | |||
