2005 HYUNDAI XG350 — Complaint #1451339
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH filed March 1, 2018
NHTSA complaint #1451339 (ODI reference 11075590) concerns a 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 and was filed on March 1, 2018. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 23, 2018. The vehicle had 53,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: yes, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HYUNDAI XG350 cohort independently describe similar electrical system:wiring:interior/under dash failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 HYUNDAI XG350 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
