STEERING
THE STREEING WHEEL STARTED CLICKING AND OR STICKING A FEW MONTHS AGO WHILE TURNING. THE CLICKING/STICKING HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE AND THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE AND UNSECURED. WHEN DRIVING ON UNEVEN ROADS THE STEERING WHEEL RATTLES LOUDLY AND SHAKES CONSTANTLY. I FEEL AS I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AT TIMES AND HAVE TO ADJUST CONTSTANTLY WHEN TURNING OR DRIVING OVER UNEVEN ROADS.

STEERING
LOUD CLUNKING NOISE IN STEERING AND VIBRATION WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND SEEN STEERING COUPLING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER RESERACHING ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY SONATA HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT WAS RECALLED AND REPAIRED. CLUNKING HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING OR STILL AND, SOUNDS LIKE METAL LOOSE IN THE COLUMN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON 9.19.2019 MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED EVERY TIME WITHOUT PROBLEMS, IT DID NOT STALL AGAIN ON THE RETURN TRIP. THE TRIP WAS ABOUT 50 MILES EACH WAY. OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAD ENGINE STARTING PROBLEMS 5 TIMES, MOSTLY ON HOT DAYS AND WHEN STOPPING FOR A SHORT PERIOD, E.G. STOPPING FOR GAS, AFTER WAITING FOR +- 10 MINUTES THE ENGINE STARTED NORMALLY. THE 'ENGINE CHECK' LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING REPAIR INFORMATION.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
STEERING WHEEL: THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIGOROUSLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING PAST 60. ALSO, BIG CLUNKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. FEELS LIKE STEERING WHEEL WILL FALL OFF. HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MY SONATA. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SONATA ON THIS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COUPLING. AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON: SAME ISSUE AS MY SONATA, HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE AZERA. THIS IS CLEARLY ISSUES WITH LOT OF HYUNDAI'S. THIS NEEDS ANEW CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY/SPIRAL CABLE. IF THESE ARE SAME ISSUES ON A SONATA THEN THERE SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL ON THE AZERA AS WELL. NOT LOT OF PEOPLE TALK TIME TO FILL THIS OUT AND REPORT THIS. I GUESS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT NEEDS TO OCCUR FOR HYUNDAI TO ACT.

STEERING
CLINKING AND CLANKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY OTHERS. SONATA AND ELANTRA HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT RECALLED FOR AZERA. PROBABLY BECAUSE NOT AS MANY AZERA'S HAVE BEEN SOLD; BUT UNFAIR THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT. THE NOISE HAPPENS WHEN MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN A BUMP IS HIT WHILE DRIVING. SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAPPENS AT DETAIN SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE
MY ENGINE SEIZED UP A FEW WEEKS AGO WHILE DOING ABOUT 38 MPH ON A CITY STREET. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SEIZING (I.E. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL TEMP GAUGE) NOTHING. THE CAR MADE A RATTLING NOISE AND STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS I TRIED TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE ENGINE LOOKED AT. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE AND WROTE IT UP AS AN ENGINE PARTS MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 14K TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND THE HYUNDAI REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MOTOR ONLY HAS ABOUT 115,546 MILES ON IT AND IT WAS SERVICED REGULARLY. NEVER OWNING A HYUNDAI DEATH TRAP AGAIN.

STEERING
THE COUPLING IS BROKEN AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE 60,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING RATTLES AND SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND IS DANGEROUS IF NOT FIXED. HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED OTHER COUPLING SYSTEMS BUT NONE ON THE AZERA. I HAVE OWNED CARS WITH OVER 100,000 MILES AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ERROR.

STEERING
STEERING HAS DEVELOPED DELAY BEFORE ENGAGING TURNING MECHANISM. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME STEERING PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN ELANTRAS AND SONATAS. THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE REMAINS FOR THE 2012 AZERA. IT IS MY OPINION THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR AZERAS AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE HARD TO PLACE IN REVERSE. THEN WHEN IN DRIVE, RPM WOULD GO UP WHEN STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THEN THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY SLAM INTO GEAR AND LUNGE FORWARD. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVER CAN ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET A CODE WHEN THEY SCANNED THE COMPUTER. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND WILL REPAIR IT FOR $7,7700 DOLLARS. VEHICLE COMES WITH 100K MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY UNLESS YOU ARE THE SECOND OWNER WHICH I AM SO THAT MEANS THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE TO HONOR THEIR 100K MILE WARRANTY. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING COMPUTER NOT COMMUNICATING WITH TRANSMISSION PROPERLY CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO FAIL.

ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THOMPSON HYUNDAI (1000 MERRITT BOULEVARD, DUNDALK, MD 21222, (410)-288-5700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED BECAUSE THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKED OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,500. *TT THE ISSUE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THESE LAMBDA V6 3.3 LITER AND 3.8 LITER ENGINES ALL HAVE THESE SAME ISSUES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT VEHICLE THEY ARE IN. VERACRUZ, AZERA, SONATA, SEDONA, ENTOURAGE, AND SO ON. THE VALVE COVER'S LEAK OIL ONTO THE ALTERNATOR AND CAUSE THEM TO FAIL, CAUSING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER AND CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. SUPER UNSAFE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ONLY BY ROUTE 1 HERE IN MARYLAND AND NOT ON 95, 495 OR SOMEWHERE LIKE THE BAY BRIDGE. I HAVE PICS TAKEN THAT AFTERNOON AT THE GAS STATION I SWUNG INTO IN JESSUP TO SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED. THESE ARE CONSISTENT WITH THIS ISSUE ACROSS THIS TYPE OF ENGINE.*JB *BF CONSUMER REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY
AFTER RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT WITH BAGS OF GROCERIES, WE COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK, NEITHER WITH SMART KEY OR BUTTON ON DRIVER SIDE OR WITH KEY ON TRUNK PANEL, OR MANUAL TRUNK BUTTON. WE HATE TO THINK ABOUT ARRIVING AT A MOTEL AND WE COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. I REMEMBER AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN UTAH WHERE 3 CHILDREN WERE TRAPPED IN A TRUNK AND PERISHED. I WOULD THINK HYUNDAI WOULD DESIGN A MANUAL TRUNK RELEASE SYSTEM, THAT DOES NOT RELY ON ELECTRIC POWER, BUSH BUTTONS, OR SMART KEYS. THIS CAR HAS AN EMERGENCY FLUORESCENT SLIDE INSIDE TRUNK, I THINK IT ALSO DID NOT WORK. INITIALLY I THOUGH IT MIGHT BE A SETTING, BUT BROWSING A HYUNDAI FORUM I DISCOVERED OTHER USERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS HYUNDAI MODELS. POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE PART; TRUNK LATCH ACTUATOR OR SOLENOID. WILL FIND OUT MORE TOMORROW FROM DEALER.

STEERING
THERE IS 'SLOP' OR 'PLAY' DEVELOPING IN THE STEERING. YOU CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT IT ENGAGING THE STEERING. WHILE DRIVING, YOU MUST MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FARTHER TO CHANGE DIRECTION. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. OTHER HYUNDAI'S HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BUT NOT THE AZERA AND THEY ARE THE SAME PART DOING THE SAME FUNCTION AND FAILING THE SAME WAY. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO COVER ALL THEIR MODELS WITH THIS SAME PART. IT CAN BE FELT FAILING WHILE SITTING STILL AND MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL "CLANKS" WHEN MOVING SIDE TO SIDE WHILE SETTING STILL. UPON RESEARCH, AND TALKING TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT MY HYUNDAI DEALER, IT'S THE "STEERING COUPLER". I WAS TOLD THAT THE OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WERE UNDER A "RECALL", BUT NOT THE AZERAS??
