Our reliability study for this generation Hyundai XG includes details on average repair costs, manufacturer recalls, and everything you need to know to gauge the long-term reliability of this generation Hyundai XG .
Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Engine noise:
The XG300 3.0-liter engine's hydraulic lash adjusters, although functional, may be too noisy for some people and quieter replacements are available with larger oil holes. (2001)
Engine stalling:
The lockup torque converter may not work at highway speeds or may cause stalling when coming to a stop and the problem may require replacement of the torque converter, the transmission or the radiator in which the trans cooler is plugged up. (2001)
Poor transmission shift:
The transmission may not shift when the "D" mode is selected or may not upshift or downshift when the "sport" mode is selected due to a faulty switch in the console shifter housing. (2001-02)
Poor transmission shift:
The shift from park to reverse or drive is harsh in many models, but if it is extremely harsh, a revised transmission control module may be required. Likewise, harsh shifts in other gears may also require a new module. (2001-02)
