SEATS
SEVERAL WEEKS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT BACK IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA WOULD INCLINE FULLY FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING PINNING ME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEAT BOTTOM COULD BE MOVED BACK BY MANUALLY OPERATING THE BOTTOM SWITCH TO MOVE THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY BACK. AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE INCLINE MOTOR AND 2 DIFFERENT SEAT SWITCHES, THE ENTIRE SEAT NOW MOVES WITHOUT WARNING TO A FULL EXTENDED POSITION. THE ENTIRE SEAT MOVES TO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE MOVEMENT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2007 HYUNDAI AZERA BRAKE ISSUES. AT 11K MILES ROTORS WERE MACHINED. AT 12500 MILES, ROTORS WERE REPLACED. PADS NEVER REPLACED. AT 22K MILES CAR SHAKES A GREAT DEAL DUE TO HOT SPOTS ON ROTORS. DEALERSHIP MACHINED AGAIN BUT DOES NOT REPLACE PADS. SO THE CAR HAS 23K MILES ON IT WITH TWO SETS OF ROTORS AND 3X MACHINED ROTORS. BUT IT IS MY DRIVING HABITS EVEN THOUGHT I HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES, ONLY DRIVE HIGHWAY, AND HAVE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH BRAKES ON THE OTHER CAR. ROTORS/BRAKES VERY POOR ON 07 AZERA. *TR

EQUIPMENT, AIR BAGS
I OWN A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND STAYED LIT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS GIVEN A 2009 HYUNDAI SONATA LOANER AND WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THAT VEHICLE. THE OTHER VEHICLE T-BONED MY DRIVERS SIDE AND CAUSED OVER $11,000.00 IN DAMAGE. THE SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED A DEEP GASH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD REQUIRING STAPLES TO CLOSE IT--A SPRAINED SHOULD, WHICH I STILL DO NOT HAVE FULL RANGE OF MOTION AND A SOFTBALL SIZE HEMOTOMA ON MY LEFT LEG. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATION IN CA TO FILE A CLAIM. I FOLLOWED ALL OF THEIR PROTOCOL, FILLED OUT THEIR FORMS AND SUPPLIED ALL DOCUMENTS REQUESTED--IE: POLICE REPORT, ESTIMATE, PHOTOS, REPAIR DOCUMENT FROM MY '08 AZERA AND OVERNIGHTED THE PACKAGE TO THEM WITHIN THEIR ALLOTTED TIME FRAME. IT'S BEEN 8 WEEKS SINCE THE ACCIDENT AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE AN ANSWER FROM HYUNDAI AS TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
AIR BAG: THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL STAYS ON AND THE PASSENGER SEAT 'ICON' FLASHES WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AT THIS TIME THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" SIGN IS ALSO ON. I FIRST NOTICED THIS CONDITION IN THE SUMMER OF 2007, HOWEVER IT ONLY OCCURRED ONE OR TWO TIMES SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE HEAT RELATED AS ON THE TWO DAYS IT HAPPENED IT WAS EXTREMELY HOT. I DID NOT NOTICE IT ALL WINTER LONG, HOWEVER ONCE THE WEATHER STARTED GETTING WARM IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW IT IS HAPPENING ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND LASTS SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW. MY MECHANIC HAS LOOKED AT IT BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I AM CONCERNED AS TO WHAT THE STATUS OF MY AIR BAGS IS-- ARE THEY WORKING OR NOT. THE DATE OF THE "INCIDENT" IS THE APPROXIMATE DATE OF THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED LAST SUMMER BUT AS I STATED IT IS NOW HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED I JUST PURCHASED HAS A HEADLIGHT PROBLEM. THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT ANY TIME FOR TWO TO THREE SECONDS, THEN COME BACK ON. USUALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP, BUT NOT ALWAYS. MAYBE THIS IS THE REASON THE PREVIOUS OWNER SOLD THE CAR. WE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WERE TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY HAVEN'T FOUND A SOLUTION TO YET, AND THE DEALER AT THREE OTHER AZERA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAID THERE IS A VOLTAGE DROP IN THE CHARGING SYSTEM, AND IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I HAVE NOTICED THE VOLTAGE DROP DURING THE DAY ALSO BY SEEING THE SPEEDOMETER LIGHTS DIM. THIS IS SO ANNOYING, AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. COULD EVEN BECOME A PROBLEM OF ROAD RAGE IF MY HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF AT AN IRATE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO SOLUTION! *TR
