2001 Hyundai XG300 review from North America
"Boy, I should have stayed home the day I baught this"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Motor codes needed reprogramed.
Paint Coming off.
General comments?
I really loved this car, until the motor had problems. When I would drive down the road, somtimes I would fell jerkiness. I was told this was due to the computers codes needed to be reprogrammed. That was the first strike.
Then I received a letter in the mail stating that the cars horsepower was false advertised and they were very sorry. I just threw the letter away, and was like o well no biggie.
One day I took my car to the car wash. I started to wash the vehicle and to my surprise, paint started flying off. I called Customer service, and they said "there wasn't anything they could do," because the car was 6000 miles over the paint warranty. Also they informed me that I shouldn't wash my car. So I informed them that if I had never washed the car, then they would say that's the reason they wouldn't fix the car.
This car has been well taken car off, and garaged at day one of purchase. I was going to buy a Santa Fe, but now I will purchase from a different car manufacturer. Stay away from this car. Stay away from this car.
