Hyundai Xg350 Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Nov 08, 2013
Reported on Nov 08, 2013
| I OWN A 2004 HYUNDAI XG350L THAT IS HAVING ACCELERATOR ISSUES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE STOPPED / IDLING, OR SLOWING DOWN, THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. THIS IS WHILE THE BRAKE IS BEING APPLIED. I CAN BE SETTING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, NOT THE ACCELERATOR, ( I DO NOT DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET LIKE SOME PEOPLE INCORRECTLY DO : ) AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL REV UP AND TRY AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. IN OTHER CASES, I CAN BE SLOWING DOWN WITH BRAKE APPLIED, AND AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. I HAVE TO REALLY MASH THE BRAKE TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM ACCELERATING FORWARD. ONCE I BRING THE CAR TO A STOP, AND THE CAR IS STILL TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL, AND TURN THE CAR OFF. I CAN LET THE CAR SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, RESTART IT, AND IT WILL USUALLY BE BACK TO NORMAL. LUCKILY, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE, AS SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSTED COMPLAINTS HAVE......YET. ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, IT HAS BEEN JUST THE OPPOSITE..........I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY GIVEN SPEED, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WILL JUST STOP ACCELERATING & GO TO AN IDLE. YOU CAN PRESS THE GAS PETAL TO THE FLOOR, AND THE ACCELERATOR WILL NOT RESPOND. THE CAR WILL REMAIN RUNNING, BUT WILL ONLY IDLE. I ONCE HAD TO DRIVE APPROX. 8 MILES, IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, AT AN IDLE SPEED OF ABOUT 5-10 MPH TO REACH MY DESTINATION : ( THESE WHERE ONCE SPORADIC OCCURRENCES, BUT NOW HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASES. I JUST RECENTLY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, AND THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED BY THE ACCELERATOR PETAL POSITION SENSOR ; HYUNDAI PN:35357-3B011. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A SERIOUS ISSUE W/ ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS W/ THE XG350, SONATA & SANTA FE, THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I HAVE READ OF CASES W/ HYUNDAI ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THAT HAVE CAUSED DEATHS. *TR | |
