STEERING
THE STEERING SEEMS TO "LOCK" OR STICK IN POSITION WHILE DRIVING. IT SOMETIME TAKES CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO MAKE THE STEERING TURN,. THE ACTION NEEDED TO "BREAK" THE STEERING FREE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE. AT HIGHWAY SPEED, ESPECIALLY UNDER SLIPPERY CONDITIONS, THIS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHILE TURNING. WE LEASED THE CAN WHEN IT WAS NEW AND PURCHASED IT WHEN THE LEASE WAS EXPIRED, SO I KNOW THE HISTORY OF THIS VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE SO FAR. THE VEHICLE HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THIS CONDITION HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST MONTH. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU COULD GIVE WITH THIS.

ENGINE, SEATS, SUSPENSION
SEAT: IN AUGUST 2019, WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING MY CAR WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND ME IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ON A CITY STREET THE DRIVER SEAT BACK STARTED TO FOLD FORWARD TO THE POINT MY SON WAS SCREAMING AND SCARED NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING HE HAD TO MAKE AN ABRUPT EXIT OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT WE WERE PASSING. ONCE SAFELY PARKED HE PULLED THE LATCH ON THE SIDE THAT CONTROLS THE SEAT BACK AND MADE THE SEAT GO BACK INTO PLACE. NOW AS OF MAY 2020, THE SEAT WILL ONLY GO BACKWARDS AND IS STUCK IN THAT POSITION AND WILL NOT GO FORWARD AT ALL. SUSPENSION: I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF APRIL 2014, I HAVE HAD THE SUSPENSION DONE I KNOW AT A MINIMUM OF 5 TIMES TO DATE, THE LAST BEING 7/2/2020 AND CURRENTLY BEING TOLD IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AGAIN!!!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! ENGINE: THE CHECK ENGINE ALERT COMES ON EVERY TIME I CUT THE CAR ON FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS OR SO. EACH TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC AND THE ERROR CODE CAME UP THE SAME SO I PAID TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED TO NO AVAIL. THE CHECK ENGINE ALERT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND I WAS TOLD IT IS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION. AIR BAG ICON: THIS HAS BEEN ON FOR THE PAST YEAR AND I WAS TOLD YET AGAIN THAT IT IS A SENSOR MALFUNCTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE RETURNING FROM TOWN AND DRIVING IN MY DRIVEWAY, HERD STRANGE NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PARKING IN GARAGE NOTICED THAT A BRAKE FLUID TRAIL WAS LEFT BEHIND IN THE DRIVEWAY. CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY, SO ADDED NEW BRAKE FLUID TO THE PROPER LEVEL AND REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE THE THE ABS UNIT SO IT COULD NOT SHORT OUT AGAIN AND LOSE BREAK FLUID WHILE DRIVING. IF IT HAD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY COULD BE DEAD I KNOW THE CAR HAD A RECALL FOR ABS UNIT SHORTING OUT AND FIRES WHILE PARKED, AND A RELAY KIT WAS ADDED TO KILL POWER TO THE ABS WHILE PARKED BUT WHAT ABOUT A SHORT IN THE ABS UNIT WHILE DRIVING, SEAMS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS NOT COVERED BY RECALL, HOW CAN THIS BE? PLEASE HELP.

STEERING
HYUNDAI 2102 AZARA. BASE MODEL. NOTED THAT THE STEERING WAS STARTING TO STICK WHILE MAKING A TURN OR MAKING SMALL CORRECTIONS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON HIGHWAY/ ROADWAY. STEERING NOT SMOOTH BUT ERRATIC. BROUGHT TO DEALER, NAPPLETON HYUNDAI, AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING ECU UNIT. MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE CAR AS THE CONDITION WAS DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I LEFT CAR AT DEALER WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT ECU UNIT. CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR 8 DAYS AND THEN REPAIRED. REPAIR COST $1100. TTHE CAR HAD 59000 MILES AND WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH GOODWILL EXTENSION OF WARRENTY .HYUNDAI WARRENTY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE. I HAVE READ SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WITH 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WHERE THE ECU WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED AND MOISTURE GOT INTO THE ECU CAUSING STREEING FAILURE. HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL ON THOSE MODELS WITH THE ECU UNIT DURING THE SAME TIME ERA.

AIR BAGS
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED BEFORE HYUNDAI FIGURES OUT THEIR NON-AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES? 57 COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA FOR THE 2006 AZERA AIR BAGS, AND I WAS JUST IN A HARD SIDE T-BONE COLLISION JUST IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR THAT BROKE MY COLLAR BONE, AND NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I WAS PROCEEDING THROUGH A 4 WAY INTERSECTION WHEN MY LIGHT TURNED GREEN, AND A CAR TO MY LEFT WAS ACCELERATING THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, AND COMPLETED ALL ISSUED RECALLS. WHEN MY AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON THREE YEARS AGO, I WAS FINALLY TOLD IT WAS THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL, ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD THE RECALL, SO I SPENT OVER $600 TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND THE ERROR LIGHT WENT OUT. I OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI TO INFORM THEM I WAS IN A SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WHEN THEY CALLED TO FOLLOW UP, THEY DID NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN FIGURING OUT THE PROBLEM, SAID I NEVER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK FOR A FOLLOW UP, AND ASKED ME WHAT MY AGENDA WAS? I HAD NO AGENDA AT THE TIME, AND WAS EVEN LOOKING TO PURCHASE A G90, BUT I GUESS NOW IT IS TO LET SOME HYUNDAI OWNERS KNOW THEIR COULD BE AIR BAG PROBLEMS.

DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR CROSS MEMBER HAD FAILED. THE CONTACT THEN CALLED THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE RECALL AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THEY DECLINED TO COVER THE COST OF THE TOW TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS THEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS NOT YET REPAIRED.
