TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE TPMS LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON SAYING IT FAILING. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IS SHIFTING FUNNY, SOMETIMES IS JOLTS FORWARD AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. CAR WAS ALSO JUST STALLING OUT AT STOP LIGHTS. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE BUT IT GOES THROUGH SPELLS WHERE IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WAS DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY W/ 1300 MILES ON IT (BRAND NEW LEASE) WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND VEHICLE WHEN FRONT END COLLISION WARNING ALERT AND ELECTRONIC POWER BRAKE ALERT LIGHTS CAME ON; ONCE ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE STOPPING AREA (PARKING LOT), CAR WAS PUT IN PARK AND OWNERS MANUAL REVIEWED TO SEE WHAT THE WARNING, ALERT LIGHTS & SOUNDS RELATED TO. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT INTO GEAR THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT MOVE FROM PARK. CALLED DEALER ~ WAS TOLD TO SHUT OFF CAR AND TRY AGAIN AS "SOMETIMES THIS CAN HAPPEN IF TOO CLOSE TO A CAR OR IF IT IS RAINING" (NEITHER APPLIED) BUT CAR WENT IN TO GEAR THEN DRIVEN TO DESTINATION. TWO HOURS LATER BACK IN CAR GETTING ON ENTRANCE RAMP OF HIGHWAY AND PICK UP TRUCK IN FRONT OF MINE SLAMMED ON BRAKES, I HIT BRAKES & HIT PICK UP TRUCK HITCH. NO WARNING SYSTEM CAME ON, NO ALERTS, NO LIGHTS, NO FRONT END COLLISION WARNING BRAKE SYSTEM TOOK AFFECT AND NOT EVEN SURE IF BRAKES ENGAGED. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AFTER SERVICE HOURS, BY MORNING THEY SENT CAR TO COLLISION SHOP AND IT HAS SAT THERE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW. CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP TO FILE COMPLAINT AND SEE IF THIS SYSTEM FAILED AS THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR IN MY POSSESSION FOR A MERE MONTH. INSPECTOR WAS SENT TO CHECK SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC CODES ETC AND REPORT FILED TO HYUNDAI; THEY CLAIM THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND MALFUNCTIONS OR DEFECTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT AS I "ALLEGE", YET THERE ARE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. UPON RECEIVING THIS INFORMATION I ASKED TO SEE THE REPORT AND WAS TOLD NO I CAN'T ~ WHAT IS HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA HIDING? WHY AM I NOT ENTITLED TO SEE THE REPORT OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR? HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS NOT PERTAINING TO WHAT LED UP TO A CAR ACCIDENT WHEN EARLIER IN DAY THAT SYSTEM ACTIVATED UNNECESSARILY? THE DEALERSHIP AND ITS SISTER DEALERSHIP WERE TOLD NOT TO ACCEPT CAR FOR SERVICE EVALUATION, REALLY?! WHY AND BY WHO WOULD THEY DENY THIS CAR SERVICE CHECK?!

WITH 5 WEEKS I HAD BOTH FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIBER UNITS FREEZE UP AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO WORK. WHEN IN MOTION THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS BEING RETARDED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED BADLY AND I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. THE VIBRATION OCCURRED AT BOTH LOW AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND OCCASIONALLY AFFECTED STEERING THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AND THE PADS WERE WARPED BY EXTREME HEAT FROM THE FRICTION OF THE CALIBERS BEING LOCKED.

AIR BAGS, SEATS
STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE RODE WITH ME AND THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED TO REMAIN ON THE WHOLE TIME WITH HER IN THE SEAT. NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT UNFASTENED LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND IT IS READING A FAULT CODE B1489 INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS). SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HYUNDAI MODEL'S DATING BACK TO THE MID-2000'S THAT HAVE HAD RECALL'S ON THE PODS, I AM WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE MAY USE THE SAME SEAT SENSOR'S THAT THE OTHER MODEL'S USE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO IF WHEN THE PODS IS DEFECTIVE, WILL THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY, OR WILL THEY DEPLOY NO MATTER WHAT SHOULD THE EVENT BE TRIGGERED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2006 HYUNDAI AZERA GAS PEDAL LOST ALL POWER AT 30 MPH ON FREEWAY. VEHICLE STILL RUNNING BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30 MPH. RESTARTED CAR, LOST POWER AT 30 MPH. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAPPENED ON FREEWAY HEADING AWAY FROM HOME. HAD TO TURN AROUND IN EMERGENCY TURN AROUND AND HEAD BACK HOME WITH FLASHERS ON 30 MPH ALL THE WAY HOME. ACCELERATOR CONTINUES TO LOSE POWER AT 30 MPH. LOSING POWER ON FREEWAY AND IN INTERSECTIONS IS A HORRIBLE FEELING.

AIR BAGS
THE MAIN AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER KEEPS COMING ON, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT OCCASIONALLY LIGHT WHICH OCCURS WHEN SOMEONE HAS SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEN EXITS. ONCE THE SEAT IS EMPTY, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIGHT OFF, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE MAIN CLUSTER REMAINS LIT. THE ONLY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF IS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED MOMENTARILY, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON AND ALWAYS COMES ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS OFF. I DRIVE A CAR IN DANGEROUS STATUS EVERY TIME AND EVERY DAY.
