EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN A HILL AT NIGHT WITH THE LOW BEAMS ON, THERE WAS NO VISIBILITY ABOVE LIGHTED AREA. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAD LIGHT'S LOW BEAM WAS DIRECTED TOO LOW. THE DEALER ADJUSTED THE HEAD LIGHTS. THE HEAD LIGHT ADJUSTMENT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE A SECOND TIME AND STATED THE LOW BEAMS WERE POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, AND DID NOT MAKE ANY REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 61,000 MILES.

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
AS I PULLED MY 8 MONTH OLD HYUNDAI AZERA OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE CAST IRON HOUSING HOLDING THE UPPER END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TIE ROD FAILED, CAUSING THE TIE ROD TO FALL TO THE GROUND. THE LOWER END WAS STILL IN PLACE BUT THE UPPER END WAS ON THE GROUND, BOLT AND CARTER PIN INTACT . THIS CAUSED THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL TO BECOME DISENGAGED FROM THE STEERING MECHANISM, CAUSING THE CAR TO HIT A PARKED CAR. HYUNDAI NORTH AMERICA AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP , AFTER INITIALLY ADMITTING THIS WAS PRODUCT FAILURE, NOW REFUSE TO REPAIR EITHER THE BODY DAMAGE OR THE TIE ROD WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY AT THE LEAST. THEY INSIST OUR INSURANCE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR PRODUCT FAILURE, WHICH WILL CAUSE OUR RATES TO INCREASE. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* - THE CONTACT OWNS A HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED 2 INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AT 737 MILES, AND AGAIN AT 4418 MILES. ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THESE FAILURES HAVE BEEN A CONCERN SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON OCTOBER 7, 2006. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, AND THE SECOND INCIDENT AT 50 MPH. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WASN'T ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON BOTH INCIDENTS, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY RELAY AND 1 BURNED OUT FUSE. THEY STATED THIS WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM. AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AGAIN, AND STAYED AT THE DEALER FOR 11 DAYS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, 2 ELECTRICAL WIRES, THE GAS TANK, AND THE COMPUTER. THE END RESULT WAS THAT THE DEALER IN CONSULTATION WITH HYUNDAI DIDN'T KNOW WHY THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI. THE FIRST FAILURE WAS ON 0CTOBER 16, 2006, AND THE SECOND FAILURE WAS ON DECEMBER 8, 2006 . THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9200. *AK THE CONSUMER STATES THERE WAS A 3RD INCIDENT ON MARCH 9, 2007 THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND THE CONSUMER INSERTED HIS SPARE 205 POWER RELAY AND THE CAR TURNED OVER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROPERLY ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHILE DRIVING ON A DIMLY LIT ROAD. I COMPLAINED TO MY DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS. IF THIS IS TRUE...THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADJUST THESE STANDARDS BEFORE A TRAGEDY OCCURS. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THIS CONDITION NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *JB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 1006 HYUNDAI AZERA HAS A DARK SHADOW COVERING PART OF THE LEFT HEADLAMP. IN NIGHT DRIVING, THIS RESULTS IN LIMITED VISION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. DEALER TOLD ME THERE'S A BLACK DOT ON THE LEFT HEADLAMP WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO REDUCE GLARE OF MY HEADLIGHTS FOR ONCOMING VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THIS LIMITED VISION MAY ACTUALLY RESULT IN A COLLISION WITH A PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE. DEALER TOLD ME HEADLAMPS ARE SET TO SPEC AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. IT SEEMS TO ME, THAT MY SAFETY SHOULD SUPERSEDE THE COMFORT OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. *JB
