crunchy brakes

I bought a 2004 XG350XL with 18,000 miles on it, have driven it 4,000 miles and in the last 3 months,4 times the brakes have acted weird. Just for the period of one stop, and then the rest of the trip is fine.
I read all the posts here, and maybe the best description is that they "shudder." They stop OK, and it's been weeks between episodes - just long enough to forget about it as an abberation and then, there they go.
My husband checked the rotors and said they look fine.
I don't have a lot of money to go to the dealer - any other simple things we can check? Has anybody else had this problem?
It's kind of scary, so thank you very much. This forum is very interesting and valuable.

I've had 2 throttle gaskets replaced gasket cost bout $5.00 labor alot more car still not right dealership told me it's time to trade it in. I have problem when I start it up it sputters I just pump gas few times after rpms go up its fine plus Sometimes i'll be doing 50,60 it loses power like its gonna quit then kicks back in. If I'm trying to pass it don't have any power. I don't know, well one thing I know I won't never take it back to dealership they don't know how to fix xg300s.Theres a website Hyundai Service Technology its got everything click on service parts. Theres sensors all over the car..Tell me if you figure out anything I just want the power back on my car....Its slow!

Hyundai has come up with a fix for this problem. I posted the information a few months back that tells the number of the release, which came out in February of this year. It involves downloading new linear movement software. They fixed mine in January of this year and so far it has worked fine. Good luck. I know how frustrating it is. I really like the car, but I still have to get psyched just to go in for an oil change.

Melissa, you might want to have your master air flow sensor check out. I had a similar problem with gaining speed from a complete stop and accelerating up a hill, but once I got above 50 mph it got better. I paid about $300 for parts and labor. It was mostly parts. Good luck!!

My car is still under the original warranty, so I don't know the cost. All they did was upload software. Good Luck.

hello, i have a 2001 XG300, with all the same symptoms. Won't go much over 2000 RPM, unless you use manual shift.
Happens at random. My dealer hooked up to computer andgot no results. i told him what I found on the net, about the acceleratror position sensor, he didn't listen.
If you have any more info, it would be greatly appreciated, my e-mail is maxan cogeco.ca
many thanks.

When I first got the car it was fast now I can't even pass anyone I have people passing me going up a hill how embaressing! I'm getting a Chevy Maxx . I'll never have another HYUNDAI no wonder they have the warranty they have !!!!

I have the same problem. I cannot cross the road unless there is there is no uncoming traffic. I have no faith that it won't stop in the middle of the street. I bought this thing brand new in 2001. The worse car I ever owned.
