Hyundai Xg300 problems
The Hyundai Grandeur (Korean: 현대 그랜저) is an executive sedan manufactured and marketed by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai since 1986, over five generations.
From 1986 to 1996, the Grandeur was the flagship for Hyundai's South Korean range before the Hyundai Dynasty was introduced. It is marketed globally as the Hyundai Azera. As the Azera, it was the flagship of Hyundai's US and Canadian lineup until the arrival of the Genesis sedan. After the launch of the separate Genesis brand, the Grandeur/Azera resumed its place as the company's flagship.
As of the 2017 model year, the Azera is no longer marketed in the United States and Canada. The sedan continued to be available in South Korea and the Middle East.

The car has been amazing! It's been smooth, quiet, and so much fun to drive. We've only had to change the oil and buy new tires, so our expenses have been minimal.

It's great to hear that your car has only been in the shop once, and that the dealer was able to restore it to factory quality. It's also wonderful to know that your car gets good mileage and rides well. I can see why people would mistake it for a Lincoln!

I have had some issues with my car, including having to replace the tensioners and belts multiple times, as well as the alternator at 50,000 miles. Additionally, there has been a shudder when slowing down from high speeds. However, I am concerned about the recent incident where the car's engine stopped suddenly while driving at 60 mph. I believe this is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed. Despite my dissatisfaction with the dealership's service, my regular mechanic was able to fix the issue. I did experience some paint peeling on the driver side running board after 2 years, but I understand that this is not necessarily the dealership's responsibility.

As you can tell from the title, I do a lot of driving. The XG300 has been very reliable and is a great car for long trips. It gets an average of 28mpg with good overall performance. I only had to take it back to the dealer once for a minor repair when the 'check engine' light came on.

I was a little nervous at first because the expert reviewers gave the XG300 at best an average review. Wish I had followed my instincts. However, I did experience some issues with the car, having to tow it to the shop four times in seven months. Interestingly, I know someone else that still has a 300, and she is having the same problems I did. While the car did get me more comments than any other I've driven, looks don't guarantee dependability.

The XG300 may experience a slight shutter when shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, which is a common issue in the '01 model. Despite being the second owner of the car and the non-transferrable 100K drive-train warranty, which is now invalid, and the null-and-void extended warranty due to the dealership's bankruptcy, I am confident that I will find a solution to my problem. I have contacted Hyundai directly, and I am sure that they will assist me in resolving this issue.

I bought this car when the new 2002 Maximas were introduced. I was considering both, but ended up choosing the Hyundai due to financial reasons. It had most of the options that the Maxima had, except for the horsepower. Unfortunately, the Hyundai feels sluggish and doesn't even feel like it has 190 HP. It turns out that Hyundai provided incorrect information on the vehicle's specs and didn't inform owners until the fall of 2002. The car actually has 180 HP, which makes a difference. As a result, I am joining a class action lawsuit.

I purchased this car brand new in 2001 and affectionately referred to it as my 'Poor Man's Lexus.' The initial quality was excellent, but unfortunately, I had to replace the transmission at 90k. Thankfully, Hyundai covered the cost. I did experience some shuddering, as mentioned in an earlier post, but overall, the car has been reliable. The only downside is that repairs can be quite expensive due to the need for genuine Hyundai parts. The check engine light does come on frequently, but it's usually a minor issue with the oil or oxygen sensors. Unfortunately, I have been informed that the catalytic converters need to be replaced, which is a costly repair. As a result, I have decided it's time to part ways with my beloved car.

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my 2001 XG300L. I bought it used in Feb of 2005 with only 26,419 miles on it. It's been a great car overall, but I have noticed a slight shudder when the auto transmission shifts, as mentioned in another review. I recently took it to a local transmission shop for routine service (since the warranty didn't transfer) and they didn't seem too concerned, so I'm keeping an eye on it. I was hoping for better gas mileage, as I'm only getting 19-20 mpg in the city on good days! Other than these minor concerns, I really like my car.
