2002 Hyundai XG350 Body and structure Problems

“The power steering hose sprang a leak. I had the car towed to an aaa service center. The technician expressed shock when the car was put on a lift because of the amount of frame corrosion, especially in the cradle of the engine, where there was actually a hole. He said he had never seen this kind of problem in a recent vintage car (2002). I bought this car new and it has been in a garage for most of its life. It has fewer than 90,000 miles. I'm told this is a serious safety issue because the engine could fall out at any time. Others should be aware of this problem.”

“The contact stated that when the vehicle hit a bump, the engine audibly moved up and down within the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer, where the dealer determined that the engine mounts were weak and needed to be replaced. Updated 8/14/2006 - the vehicles shock absorbers had to be replaced. The consumer believes the engine mount repair and shock absorbers should have been covered under the vehicle's warranty.”
