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…

MY 2003 HYUNDAI POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING PROPERLY ANYTIME THERE IS STANDING WATER ON THE ROAD AND I DRIVE THRU THE WATER, BE IT A PUDDLE ON THE ROAD OR WATER THAT IS RUNNING ON THE ROAD AND CANNOT BE AVOIDED. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL AND AT SLOW SPEEDS CAN CAUSE THE MOTOR TO STALL. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT OCCURRING BUT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SUBSTANTIAL RAINS IN THE AREA TO MAKE A DETERMINATION OF THAT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE WRITTEN TO HYUNDAI MOTORS WITH NO REPLY. *TR

I WAS RECENTLY THE VICTIM OF A NEAR CATASTROPHIC MECHANICAL FAILURE WHILE OPERATING MY 2003 HYUNDAI XG350L. I NOTICED THE STEERING PULLING HARD TO ONE DIRECTION, WHICH MADE ME TAKE IT FOR A TIRE INSPECTION. THE INSPECTION REVEALED I NEEDED A WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT THAT THE ENTIRE SUB-FRAME WAS CORRODED AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHILE INVESTIGATING PARTS AND PRICES, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A STANDING RECALL ON THIS MODEL HYUNDAI FOR THE EXACT PROBLEM I DISCOVERED. I CALLED THE RECALL LINE, RECEIVED A CONFIRMATIO…

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HYUNDAI XG350. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE BOLTS ATTACHING THE STEERING ASSEMBLY SEPARATED FROM THE CROSS MEMBER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ALSO HE STATED HIS VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL # 09V124000 (SUSPENSION). HOWEVER HE IS EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS, THAT IF NOT RESOLVED POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

I WAS DRIVING AND RUSTED SUBFRAME COLLAPSED CONTROL ARM & RIGHT AXEL BROKE ALSO POWER STEERING BELT BROKE. I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER NEARLY HAVING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED IN 2010 AS PER RECALL YET I TRIED TO PUSH FOR SUB FRAME REPLACEMENT OVER REPAIR AT THAT TIME WITH NO LUCK. I BELIEVE THESE SUB FRAMES THAT WERE REPAIRED SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! *TR
