SEATS
WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BACK AUTOMATICALLY MOVED TO IT'S FORWARD POSITION. AFTER RETURNING IT TO IT'S NORMAL POSITION IT WOULD START MOVING BY ITSELF AGAIN AFTER A SHORT TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO HOLD THE LEVER IN THE DOWN POSITION WHICH WOULD ALSO MAKE THE SEAT MOVE DOWN AT TIMES. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA SINCE 9/06. FROM THE BEGINNING MY COMPLAINT TO THEM HAS BEEN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN I WAS SITTING AS A PASSENGER. I AM PETITE BUT THE ANSWER OF "YOU ARE JUST TOO THIN" WAS REALLY NOT THE PROFESSIONAL ANSWER I WAS SEARCHING FOR. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN MY 16 YEAR OLD 180LBS SON WAS MY PASSENGER. IN 1997, I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A DRUNK DRIVER. I WAS VERY ADAMANT WITH THE SERVICE DEPT ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS I KNOW MY AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SAVED ME IN THAT CRASH. WHEN DID HYUNDAI KNOW THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AZERA DURING THE YEARS THEY WERE TELLING ME I DID NOT WEIGH ENOUGH. WHAT WILL I BE BEFORE THIS GETS FIXED, IF THEY ARE BETTER THAN TOYOTA AT THAT, OR, IF I AM INVOLVED IN ANOTHER INNOCENT ACCIDENT? I JUST DON'T THINK THIS RECENTLY DISCOVERED AS IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME SINCE 2006. I FEEL AS IF MY LIFE HAS BEEN ARBITRARILY IGNORED FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS AND THAT IS WRONG. *TR

AIR BAGS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA 4 DOOR. THE FRONT HEADLAMPS DO NOT REFLECT OUT SUFFICIENTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE LAMPS REFLECT DOWN AND CREATE A SEVERE BLIND SPOT AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARDOUS. I WENT ON LINE YESTERDAY AND DISCOVERD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE REPAIRED? ALSO, I SAW MY MODEL VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH. AND, THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR HAS A DEFECT WHICH CAN PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. HOW DO I GET THESE DEFECTS ON MY AUTO CORRECTED? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. SUDDENLY, BOTH HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED LIMITED VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUSTAINED EXCESSIVE CRACKS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS DROP TO BELOW 1,000 FOR A SECOND, AND THEN THEY REBOUND TO NORMAL ON THE TACHOMETER. YOU THINK THAT THE MOTOR IS GOING TO STOP, BUT IT DOESN'T. THIS DECREASE IN MOTOR REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE CAUSES A DROP IN THE ELECTRICITY BEING PRODUCED BY THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO DIM. THE CAR IS ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DEFECTS. DEFINITE DESIGN FLAW, PREVENTING HEADLIGHTS TO PROPERLY ILLUMINATE ROADWAY. HYUNDAI OWNER FORUMS ON-LINE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BY MANY, MANY OTHER OWNERS, BUT MFG. REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, OR EVEN ADDRESS MY E-MAIL COMPLAINTS. I ALSO HAVE A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA, WITH PERFECT HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATION. DEALER SAYS 2008 HEADLIGHT BULBS ARE NOT ADAPTABLE TO MY 2006 MODEL, WITHOUT REPLACING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. MANY DRIVERS REPORT ON THE FORUM'S THAT DRIVING ON UNLIT RURAL ROADS, MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROADWAY MORE THAN A FEW FEET AHEAD, SUCH AS A DEER OR ROAD DEBRIS. A SIMPLE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR ALL OF US. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
2007 HYUNDAI AZERA (6 CYLD). ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY REVS TO HIGH SPEED WHEN BRAKING. SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER HAVE FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS OCCURS AS THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING (USUALLY AS PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I TOO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEM IS THE RPMS DROP TO BELOW 1,000 FOR A SECOND, AND THEN THEY REBOUND TO NORMAL ON THE TACHOMETER. YOU THINK THAT THE MOTOR IS GOING TO STOP, BUT IT DOESN'T. THIS DECREASE IN MOTOR REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE CAUSES A DROP IN THE ELECTRICITY BEING PRODUCED BY THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO DIM. THE CAR IS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS DRIVING THE CAR DURING THE DAYTIME. HOWEVER, IT MAYBE RELATED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER USING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, THE RPM DROP OFF ON DECELERATION SEEMS TO BE LESS SEVERE. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN FIRST DRIVEN THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. THIS SEEMS TO LESSEN AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. I HAVE INSTALLED NEW MICHELIN TIRES AND HAVE HAD THEM ROTATED BUT THE VIBRATION PERSISTS. I SUSPECT A SUSPENSION ISSUE BUT HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER YET. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
I OWN A 2006 AZERA BOUGHT NEW IN FEBRUARY 2006 AND HAVE HAD MINOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS LEFT BEAM BLOCKAGE DUE TO THE WAY THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS CREATED ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI. I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM THAT JUST STARTED 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN I HAD YET ANOTHER HEADLIGHT REPLACED. MY HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) DIM FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY 20 - 30 SECONDS. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FOG LIGHTS ON BUT ALSO NOTICEABLE WITHOUT THEM. ALONG WITH THIS DIMMING THE HEATER FAN ALSO SOUNDS TO LOSE SOME POWER. I TRIED TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE BY SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND LIGHTS ON MANY TIMES FOR 30 MINUTES AND MORE BUT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND MOVING. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHECK THIS ISSUE BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT LOCATE ANY VOLTAGE DROP OR SEE THE PROBLEM. I OF COURSE ASKED THEM TO VERIFY THIS AT NIGHT BUT THEY INSISTED TO TRY TO SEE THIS DURING THE DAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE HAZARD TO THE LIFE OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIANS WHO MIGHT BE WALKING OR RIDING BIKES AT NIGHT. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING A PERSON IN BLACK CLOTHES AT NIGHT WHILE THEY WERE WALKING AS MY LIGHTS DIMMED AND FOR AN INSTANT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THEM. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TIRES, SUSPENSION
I HAVE FELT A VIBRATION AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN THE UPPER, LOWER ARM AND BALL BEARING... BUT IT'S EXACTLY SAME. THEY FINALLY SAID, IT MIGHT BE A TIRE PROBLEM.... WELL, I BOUGHT ALL NEW TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS NOIS... THEY ARE STATING THE CAUSE IS BECAUSE OF THE TIRE PATTERN, WHEN I KNOW THAT IS NOT CAUSE OF THE CURRENT PROBLEM.... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. APPROXIMATELY EVERY 20 INSTANCES, THE CAR DOESN'T START. DEALER SERVICE CENTER CHECKED THE AUTO AND INDICATED THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. EDMUNDS WEBSITE IDENTIFIES SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN EXPOSED TO LATE NIGHT CRIME WITH A DISABLED AUTO. *TR
