DT: 2001 HYUNDAI XG. THE CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ENGINE TROUBLES ALL SUMMER LONG. THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE TIMING BELT HAS BEEN CHANGED TWICE; THE ENGINE WAS COUGHING, GAGGING AND IDLING FUNNY. SPARK PLUGS, SPARK PLUG WIRES AND COILS WERE REPLACED TO TRY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND OFF. THIS WAS FINALLY FIXED WHEN THEY CHANGED THE AIR BAG SENSOR. *AK *NM

2 of 2 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
