EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
THE GPS UNIT IS OUT DATED WITH HYUNDAI. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET UPDATE, HYUNDAI SAYS THEY NO LONGER USE LG WHO DID ALL THE GPS UPDATES, AFTER USING THE GPS I ENDED UP IN WRONG LOCATION, PUTTING ME ONTO A WRONG WAY STREET, CAUSING ME TO DRIVE ON A ONE WAY DIRECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEAD ON, THEN IT TOLD ME TO TAKE A STREET THAT PUT ME ALMOST IN THE OCEAN. I DO BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ALONE, AFTER A POST ON FACEBOOK, THIS SEEMS TO BE A NATION WIDE PROBLEM, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIT. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND NO CAUSE. IN APRIL, 2014 WARNING LIT AGAIN, CHECKED BY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND FOUND NO CAUSE. JANUARY, 2015, WARNING LIGHT AGAIN LIT. HAVE NOT HAD IT CHECKED YET. CALLED MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. I NEEDED TO GO TO DEALER OR MECHANIC AND PAY AGAIN FOR INSPECTION. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE FIRST TIME, I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND SPEED UP. THE PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT WAS NOT CAUGHT ON THE RUG AND WHEN I TRIED LIFTING WITH MY FOOT IT WAS NOT STUCK DOWN. THE SECOND TIME, THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED DOWN, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND RACE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOD ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR AS BEFORE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.. I HAD THE DEALER IN RENTON LOOK AT IT BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS
I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 49K ON THE ODO AND THE OTHER DAY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT REMAINED ON AND LIKE OTHER INSTANCES WILL NOT RESET TO THE ON POSITION. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER, BUT THAT IS MY NEXT STEP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT YET I SEE NO RECALL FROM HYUNDAI FOR SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY CONDITION. THAT IS THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT.

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAGS ON THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER A NARROWLY AVOIDED HEAD ON COLLISION WHICH RESULTED IN DRIVER SIDE IMPACT ON THE FRONT ENGINE SIDE PANEL AND DRIVER DOOR.THE SIDE CURTAINS NOR THE AIRBAGS IN THE DASH AND STEERING COLUMN DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN BELK DID PASSENGERS COMING IN CONTACT WITH STEERING COLUMN AND DASH OF THE KNEES AND CHEST UP BOTH OCCUPANTS.THE IMPACT AT THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS FORCEFUL ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE TIRE TO TUCK UP UNDER ITSELF INDICATING THE SIDE AIR CURTAINS COULD HAVE PREVENTED CONTACT WITH THE SIDE OF THE CAR IN ADDITION TO THE CONTACT DESCRIBED WITH THE CHEST AND KNEES. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE THEY WERE EVALUATED. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM STARTED AT 72,886. THE DEALER REMOVED SOME OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. HOWEVER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED.

SEATS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO, THE BACK PORTION OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BEGAN MOVING FORWARD AUTOMATICALLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED THE SEAT WOULD MOVE FORWARD AS WELL. WHEN THE SEAT MOVES FORWARD, I AM PUT VERY CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER AND INTERFERES WITH MY ABILITY TO BRAKE QUICKLY. ALSO, BECAUSE I AM SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, I BELIEVE THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WERE TO DEPLOY I WOULD BE UNNECESSARILY HARMED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP ON DECEMBER 17, 2014 BECAUSE OF A SEPARATE RECALL NOTICE I WAS SENT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND ADDED CORROSIVE PROTECTION TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY CAR. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF HE COULD RUN A DIAGNOSTIC ON MY CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING REPAIRED, HE INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130 DOLLARS. THE BTS WIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED, AT 24,144 MILES, SO I BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY WIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE ISSUES I AM NOW HAVING WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES
ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5, AT APPROXIMATELY 5:40AM, THE 2009 AZERA CAME UP TO AN INTERSECTION. FAILURE TO STOP CAUSED THE DRIVER TO RUN THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR BECAME LODGED UNDERNEATH A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER, AND WAS DRAGGED SEVERAL FEET BEFORE THE SEMI STOPPED. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. HE DID NOT HAVE A MEDICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER DROVE THIS ROAD EVERYDAY. THEY WERE AWARE OF THE STOP SIGN, AND HAD A SPOTLESS DRIVING RECORD. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THE CAR TO PROVE THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. ONLY THE TRUNK REMAINS. *TR

VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT
IN 2010 THE REAR SUN SCREEN WOULD BIND WHEN YOU TRIED TO RETRACT IT, HYUNDAI REPLACED THE PART SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT WAS APPROX. 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED, IN 2014 IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TALKED TO HYUNDAI ABOUT GIVING ME THE PART AND I WOULD PAY TO HAVE IT INSTALLED, DIDN'T HAPPEN. I TOLD HYUNDAI THAT I FELT IT MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE IT HAS BROKEN 3 TIMES IN FOUR YEARS AND ONCE AGAIN THE RESPONSE WAS THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. MAYBE HYUNDAI SHOULDN'T PRODUCE CARS WITH SUN SCREENS IN THEM SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT, AND IS HAVING TROUBLE ADMITTING THE PROBLEM IS THEIR FAULT. *TR
