2005 Hyundai XG350 Fuel system Problems

“Our car suddenly developed a fuel leak. We were driving and started smelling gasoline. We parked the car and let it sit for about 30 minutes. We returned to car and once again smelled gasoline. We noticed gasoline inside the left rear wheel well and on the ground. When the car's ignition switch is placed in run fuel begins dripping from left rear of car. We are having the car towed to the dealer tomorrow for repair.”

“While following a line of cars through a local city street my car accelerated coming close to the car in front. I brake, the car did not respond. I used all my strength on the brake pedal and the car responded by going faster. To avoid a collision, I swerved to the right into a convenience store driveway. However, I hit the bumper of the car in front of me and this finally stopped my car. I read on a website that this is not an uncommon problem with this model. Why has there been no recall to solve this problem?”

“On august 18, 2005 we purchased a new 2005 xg Hyundai. That same day, after est driving, I reported the accelerator pedal did not give a smooth transition when attempting to depress. The service manager said it was probably due to it being new. 1.0 the following month, we drove the car to myrtle beach sc (approx 1000 miles). After leaving a restaurant, and attempting to enter into traffic across four (4) lanes of traffic, I pressed the accelerator, but the vehicle failed to respond and I entered the four lanes of traffic at idle speed. This proved to be very dangerous. …”

“Air bag light has been illuminated since late 2013. Reading entries posted on site, and talking with former Hyundai mechanic, this is a wiring harness issue that at least 60 other people have complained about. Also experienced the steering issue where the bolts locking the wheel in place sheered off, I was lucky to get off the freeway in 2015 get it to a local shop to fix. As of 2018 the steering is problematic again with the steering wheel sticking and now a squeaking noise occurs when turning right.”
