2001 Hyundai XG300 XG 300 review from North America

"Dump it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First ten thousand miles the electronic brain went dead in the driveway. It has had three O2 sensor put on the car. For the last 68000 miles the check engine light keeps coming on and going off. So much in fact you just ignore it now until it is time to get the car inspected. Mirrors are supposed to go down when you put it in reverse. Sometimes this happens. Most of the time not. When going from second to third at high acceleration there is a shudder in the drive-train. Now it is back in the shop since the radio turns on by itself and there are many warning lights turned on and off and on and off...

Dealerships are confused. One has closed, but that is a blessing since it took them two times to attempt at replacing the brake pads and turning the rotors. Rotors were badly turned up front and were left warped. Took it back and it is still hopeless with quality control.

General comments?

Everyone says how this brand has improved overall quality. I just don't believe it. Why? Their service should also be better if their cars are becoming better in overall quality. Service is poor. Quality is poor. I don't believe others' comments saying how great something is when they have only had it a short time. This does not allow a very good sampling of time to see if it is true or not.
