ENGINE
WHEN STARTING THE CAR YOU HEAR A LOUD CLATTERING NOISE. AND IT DOESN'T GO AWAY. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A OIL CHANGE, OIL CHANGE WAS PERFORMED. THE NOISE WAS STILL HAPPENING TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEN WAS TOLD I NEEDED A TIMING TENSION BELT. WASTED MY MONEY BECAUSE THE ISSUE STILL WASN'T FIXED. AND NOW WHEN I START MY CAR IT A LOUDER NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE AND WHILING DRIVING MY CAR STALLS REALLY BACK AND WHILE DRIVING I CAN STILL HEAR THE NOISE.

STEERING
THE STEERING MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. MECHANIC SAID IT'S A FAULTY "RUBBER" STAR SHAPED PART THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER VEHICLES. OUR COST TO FIX WILL BE $289! THE AZERA SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED UNDER THE RECALL BUT SO FAR IT HAS NOT.

STEERING
I HAVE OWNED 3 HYUNDAI AZERAS; A 2007, A 2013 AND NOW A 2017. I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE STEERING ON MY 2007 OR 2013. THE STEERING ON MY CURRENT VEHICLE "LOCKS" AS I AM DRIVING, MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY BUT HAS ALSO HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND ALSO IN REVERSE. THE STEERING DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN I TRY TO MAKE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND FEELS AS IF IT'S LOCKED IN PLACE. IT WILL EVENTUALLY "GIVE" WITH A JERKING MOTION. MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 8500 MILES AND I DID NOT NOTICE THIS ISSUE WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW AND DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN IT STARTED BUT IT HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY NOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS AS OCCASIONALLY IT FEELS AS THOUGH IT'S NOT GOING TO RESPOND AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND WONDER IF HYUNDAI IS GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL HAS CLUNKING NOISE AND STEERING IS LOOSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS ON THIS SITE. POWER STEERING COUPLER IS BAD, AS IDENTIFIED BY FIRESTONE AND HYUNDAI DEALER. HYUNDAI WILL NOT REPLACE IT AS IT WAS NOT PART OF THE SONATA AND ELANTRA RECALL FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

STEERING
DURING OUR FIRST TRIP ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THAT WHEN TRYING TO CORRECT THE STEERING, EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT, THE CAR WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND. THEN AFTER JUST A SECOND OR TWO SOMETHING WOULD BREAK LOOSE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND TO MY REQUEST. I.E. TURN LEFT OR RIGHT! IT'S AS IF THEIR IS SOMETHING STOPPING IT FROM RESPONDING UNTIL I APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO MY PULL. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT IS THE "ELECTRONIC STEERING" MECHANISM AND THAT THAT IS NORMAL, AND THERE IS NO REASON TO BE ALARMED. OVER THANKSGIVING I MADE A 2,500 MILE ROUND TRIP TO INDIANA (ALL INTERSTATE). DURING THE TRIP, THE SAME THING!! AFTER STOPPING FOR A SHORT PERIOD, AND THEN BACK ON THE ROAD, I NOTICED I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE IT BEGAN TO ACT UP AGAIN. IT IS VERY PRONOUNCED AND OBVIOUS ON INTERSTATE DRIVING. I HAVE THE FEAR THAT IT COULD LOCK UP PERMANENTLY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, WITH ONLY 5,100 MILES ON 7/1/2019. IT NOW HAS 8,622 MILES. I MIGHT ALSO POINT OUT THAT I ALSO HAVE THE IDENTICAL CAR IN A 2016 WITH THE SAME STEERING, THAT I PURCHASED NEW. IT NOW HAS OVER 36,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. BECAUSE OF THE EXCELLENT RATINGS AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE 2016, I PURCHASED THE USED 2017 FOR MY WIFE. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A TICKET OR INVOICE OF ANY KIND, ALTHOUGH THEY DID WRITE A TICKET.

AIR BAGS
CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE NEXT MORNING I GOT UP, STARTED MY CAR AND NOW THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW CLOCKSPRING. MY CAR HAS 53000 MILES. NO ACCIDENTS, OIL CHANGES EVERY 3000 MILES. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN. ITS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI.

STEERING
OUR 2013 AZERA, WITH LESS THAN 29K MILES, STARTED WANDERING BACK AND FORTH WHILE DRIVING. EVEN ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AT SLOW SPEEDS NOT JUST ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. I STARTED NOTICING THAT I HAD PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AT FIRST IT WAS ONLY MAYBE A HALF INCH BUT IF I TURNED THE WHEEL FAST ENOUGH BACK AND FORTH, IT MADE A THUMPING NOISE AND I COULD FEEL IT IN THE WHEEL. NOW THERE IS 6 INCHES TURN FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND THE WHEEL AND COLUMN RATTLES AND THUDS ON EVERY IMPERFECTION IN ROAD SURFACE. THE FIRST INDICATION WAS NOTICED 4 DAYS AGO. TODAY I FEAR IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. EVEN TO DRIVE IN TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM I HAVE SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO THOSE ALREADY DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS ON THIS MODEL AND WILL BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY YEAR/MODEL HYUNDAI. AS IT IS STILL UNDER 30K MILES, THIS IS HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING TO SAY THE LEAST.

STEERING
THE STEERING COLUMN HAS THE SAME FAULTY COUPLER THAT HAS TO REPLACED ON ALL THE SONATA, ELECTRA'S AND KIA'S IN THE YEAR RANGES FROM 2009 TO 2017. THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING COUPLER IN THE 2009-2017 SONATA AND ELECTRA CARS, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE AZERA. AFTER TALKING WITH MANY DEALERSHIPS, THEY REPLACE THEM DAILY ON THE AZERA'S AS WELL, WHY WAS THIS COUPLER NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? IF THE COUPLER BREAKS WHILE DRIVING ALL STEERING IS LOST. JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH WILL SHOW YOU HOW MANY AZERA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME REPAIR. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED AND IT MAKES A CRACKING NOISE, BOTH STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. THE NOISE INCREASES OVER TIME AND STARTS TO RATTLE ON BUMPS. THE PROBLEM CAN CAUSE DEATHS, IF NOT MADE AWARE OF TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.

STEERING
OWNER AND INSPECTION MECHANIC NOTICED AND OBSERVED STEERING WHEEL CLUNKING AND BANGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR MODELS AND USE THE SAME PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE! 2012 HYUNDAI AZERA STEERING COUPLER IS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACED PER HYUNDAI DEALER AND WOULD COST US $282.00 PLUS TAX. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE PART WHICH IS AROUND $10.00 BUT WANT A LOT OF MONEY FOR LABOR. THANKFULLY WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WE STILL SHOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART. ITS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS THAT USE THE SAME PART. CAR WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FEELING THE BANGING WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STOP. HAD CAR REPAIRED AND..WOW NO MORE BANGING..VIBRATIONS.

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED A 2012 HYUANDAI AZERA IN JULY 2012, THE CAR HAS ONLY 30,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. TWO WEEK AGO I NOTICED THE DASH WAS SPLITTING AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED (PASSENGER SIDE). TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, SERVICE MANAGER SAD THEY WOULDN'T COVER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT WOULD COST $2,600.00 TO REPAIR, THE PART IS $1,600.00 LABOR IS $1,000.00. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS DEFECT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE 2008 MODEL OF AZERA, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE COVERED. WHAT IF THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYS WHILE I'M DRIVING? THERE IS A REASON THIS AREA IS WEAK AND SPLITTING AROUND THE AIRBAG POOR DESIGN OR WORKMANSHIP.....
