SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES ITSELF FORWARD AND UP AND PINS THE DRIVER INTO STEERING WHEEL, WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH. YOU MUST PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR TO RE-SET THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 4 MILES. THE CAR IS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 34,400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOW FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON-LINE, ONCE I GOT HOME. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AT 800-633-5151, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MAY 24, 2013, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST $500. IF I WANTED THIS REPAIRED, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND I WAS TO CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW. AFTERWARD, I LOOKED ON YOUR WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL. CALL THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD THE RECALL DONE APRIL 17, 2010, AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HYUNDAI DID A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SINCE CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TO RECUR AFTER THE FIX, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS JUST A BAND AID. THE FIX DOESN'T EVEN LAST FIVE YEARS. BECAUSE THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD REPAIR THE SENSOR FOR AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OWNS THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARDER TO PUSH DOWN ON. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR LIT. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI REPAIR CENTER BUT THEY REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT AS I DID NOT HAVE "AN APPOINTMENT" AND WAS ASKED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME BACK. TOOK IT TO A NEARBY REPAIR STATION (PEPBOYS) WHO READ THE ERROR AS A FAULTY BRAKE A/B SWITCH BUT COULD NOT RECTIFY IT AS THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR CENTER. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND ADVISED ON THE RECALL. CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ON THE CLAIM AS THE EXACT VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE 2007 AZERA HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL GREMLINS ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THERE ARE SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ARISE WHILE DRIVING. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED UNTIL THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE FIXED. THERE IS A REAL PATTERN HERE WITH ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE DYING IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. ALL OF THESE ISSUES CAME ON VERY SLOWLY OVER TIME AND SEAMED MINOR AT FIRST. NOW I AM TRULY AFRAID WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I HAD PLANNED ON THIS BEING MY LAST CAR. NOW I AM RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. 1. STARTING PROBLEMS - CAR OCCASIONALLY WON'T START NO IGNITION NOISE OR CLICKING AT ALL. I WIGGLE THE SHIFTER AROUND AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. 2. RADIO - THE RADIO IS ALWAYS LEFT ON WHEN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON WHEN STARTING. BUT MOST TIMES IT WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN. THEN THE RADIO WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. 3. REAR SHADE - THE REAR WINDOW SHADE STOPPED WORKING. ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE HIT THE CONTROL BY THE SHIFTER AND THE GRINDING STARTS UP. EVENTUALLY IT STOPS. 4. HEATER - THE HEATER CONTROLS JUST RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEAT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. NOW ONLY COOL AIR OR SLIGHT AMOUNT OF HEAT BLOWS NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE TEMPERATURE SETTING IS. 5. DOOR AND TRUNK LOCKS - WHEN LOCKING DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE TRUNK OCCASIONALLY DON'T WORK. WHEN I USE THE INTERIOR LOCK SWITCH OR MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR THEY WILL LOCK PROPERLY. 6. DRIVER SIDE CHAIR HEAT - THE BACK OF THE SEAT NO LONGER HEATS UP. THE SEAT CUSHION STILL HEATS UP. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS FINE. *TR

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
CRACKS STARTED DEVELOP CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER THE AIRBAG. CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, UNIVERSAL NISSAN AND HYUNDAI THEY DID NOT HAVE AN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD OVER THE AIRBAG. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CALL HYUNDAI, I DID. I GOT THE SAME ROUND A ROUND, THEY GAVE ME CASE # 5235732. I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET MANY MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR EMAILS FROM MECHANICS AND HYUNDAI PERSONNEL ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE CRACK OVER THE AIRBAG AND THAT DID HAVE THEIR DASHBOARDS EXCHANGED. IF EVER I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES SOME ONE WILL ANSWER FOR IT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 I BOUGHT A USED 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA FROM SUTTON FORD, LINCOLN, KIA DEALER. I HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD DIM ON THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD TO INCLUDE THE RADIO GOING OFF THE AIR AND COMING BACK ON WHENEVER I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ON STREETS THAT ARE NOT WELL LIGHTED THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY VERY POOR. THE BACK WINDOW SHADE DOES NOT WORK WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE OR IN THE DRIVE MODE THE MOTOR OPERATING THE SHADE MAKES A NOISE UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE SHADE DOES NOT OPERATE ACCORDING TO THE CAR MANUAL. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHENEVER THE LIGHTS DIM AND I AM APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR A TRAFFIC LIGHT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THE OTHER DRIVER THINKING I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. *TR
