New 2003 hyundia xg350 sudden acceleration when starting off from a stop. Car starts off slow then suddenly accelerates causing the car to lunge forward. May cause rear end crashes . We have had many close calls especially in bumper to bumper traffic. Dealer is un-able to correct. Says this is an engineering problem hyundai is working on. I have had this problem since taking delivery oct. 2002. Dealer has had car in shop repeated times to attempt corrective action. Dealer acknowledges product problem with 2003 and 2003 models.
Xg350l-vehicle will lunge forward from a total stop when accelarated or when driving at highway speed, dealer has attemted to fix problem 3 times but it continues still. Upon cold start up vehicle vibrates roughly, rough and hard shifts occur while driving and down shifting. The paint burr on the passengers door went to the metal when broken off/district service and parts man had to look at all these problems because of warranty and the fact that the door could rust. None of the problems have been taken care of .
Vehicle will lunge forward whether vehicle is at a complete stop or when consumer is driving vehicle at highway speeds, the dealer has attempted to fix the problem which was fixed for 1 week and then the problem reoccured.
