I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR. THREE MONTHS LATER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND I TOOK IT BACK TO HAVE IT EVALUATED AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING THAT IT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRE TENSIONER SENSOR. I SAID TO THEM THAT IT WAS REPAIRED ALREADY AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT . THROUGH FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND ON A WEB SITE FROM THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR CAMPAIGN 094 THAT WHEN REPAIRING THE WIRING HARNESS THAT THEY ARE TO LOOK AT THE SENSOR AS WELL AND FIX AT THAT TIME AND SUBMIT A CLAIM FOR THIS. NOW THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED IN THE BEGINNING. *TR

HEADLIGHTS DIMMING AND GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY THAT CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, HEADLIGHTS DIM AND DO OUT FOR SECONDS. I ALMOST HIT A GUARD RAIL ON A CURVE ON THE HIGHWAY. ONE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME DIMMING WAS NORMAL, ANOTHER SAID I NEED A BATTERY CABLE HARNESS. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND THE MANUFACTURER SAID THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. CLEARLY THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THERE ARE MORE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED. IT APPEARS THAT THERE WERE SOME RECALLS DUE TO HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS BUT NO MAILINGS WENT OUT. CAN YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BEGIN TO DIM ABNORMALLY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF AND WOULD RE-ILLUMINATE INDEPENDENTLY WITHIN A FEW MOMENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT SENSOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AIR BAG LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE SEAT BELT SENSOR; HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,198 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BACK MOVES FORWARD PUSHING THE DRIVE TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. FIRST STARTED DEC.2009 AND WAS RANDOM. TO IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY REPLACED DRIVERS POWER SEAT SWITCH. AT THIS DATE IT IS HAPPENING SO OFTEN IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WILL SCHEDULE A VISIT TO THE DEALER. *TR

2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND LURCHES FORWARD DURING DOWNSHIFTS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF, RANDOMLY. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH AT TIMES AS IT DOWNSHIFTED. IT WOULD HESITATE, THEN JERK FORWARD. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECT BY HYUNDAI, BUT IT HAS SINCE RETURNED. UPDATED 09/06/11

HYUNDAI HAS AN ISSUE WITH FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS WHICH CAUSES THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STUMBLE AND THEN SWITCH INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. THIS MODE ONLY ALLOWS A TOP SPEED OF 20MPH WITH VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION POWER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, SUCH AS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO CRASHES, AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. CURRENTLY, HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED TSB 09-FL-003-2, BUT WILL ONLY COVER THE REPAIR COSTS IF THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE SENSORS. *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA ON ROUTE 81 SOUTH THE DRIVERS SEAT STARTED MOVING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN. I COULD NOT STOP IT. THE SEAT PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL.ALSO THE BACK OF THE SEAT ALSO MOVE FORWARD AND ESSENTIALLY PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT GET THE SEAT TO GO BACK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF. I GOT THE SEAT TO RESET AND IT DID THE SAME THING A COUPLE MINUTES LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY THE FACT THAT I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AVOIDED A CATASTROPHIC HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. FUCCILLO HYUNDAI OF SYRACUSE REPLACED THE SWITCH AND CHARGED US $ 202.56 I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND REPORTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT THEY REFUSED SAYING THE CAR HAD 109000 MILES ON IT; I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A LATENT SAFETY DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE.YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT I COULD NOT STOP THE SEAT FROM MOVING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO ACTIVATE SWITCH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE SEAT FROM PINNING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE. *TR

ELECTRICAL GREMLINS ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THERE ARE SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ARISE WHILE DRIVING. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED UNTIL THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE FIXED. THERE IS A REAL PATTERN HERE WITH ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE DYING IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. ALL OF THESE ISSUES CAME ON VERY SLOWLY OVER TIME AND SEAMED MINOR AT FIRST. NOW I AM TRULY AFRAID WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I HAD PLANNED ON THIS BEING MY LAST CAR. NOW I AM RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. 1. STARTING PROBLEMS - CAR OCCASIONALLY WON'T START NO IGNITION NOISE OR CLICKING AT ALL. I WIGGLE THE SHIFTER AROUND AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. 2. RADIO - THE RADIO IS ALWAYS LEFT ON WHEN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON WHEN STARTING. BUT MOST TIMES IT WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN. THEN THE RADIO WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. 3. REAR SHADE - THE REAR WINDOW SHADE STOPPED WORKING. ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE HIT THE CONTROL BY THE SHIFTER AND THE GRINDING STARTS UP. EVENTUALLY IT STOPS. 4. HEATER - THE HEATER CONTROLS JUST RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEAT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. NOW ONLY COOL AIR OR SLIGHT AMOUNT OF HEAT BLOWS NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE TEMPERATURE SETTING IS. 5. DOOR AND TRUNK LOCKS - WHEN LOCKING DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE TRUNK OCCASIONALLY DON'T WORK. WHEN I USE THE INTERIOR LOCK SWITCH OR MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR THEY WILL LOCK PROPERLY. 6. DRIVER SIDE CHAIR HEAT - THE BACK OF THE SEAT NO LONGER HEATS UP. THE SEAT CUSHION STILL HEATS UP. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS FINE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. AFTER THE DEPLOYMENT, THE AIR BAG AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG AND INSTRUCTED TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A COLLISION SENSOR AND THEY COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN A COLLISION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V497000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL). APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,653.

I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER MAY 24, 2013, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WOULD COST $500. IF I WANTED THIS REPAIRED, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND I WAS TO CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW. AFTERWARD, I LOOKED ON YOUR WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL. CALL THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THAT I HAD THE RECALL DONE APRIL 17, 2010, AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HYUNDAI DID A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SINCE CONSUMERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TO RECUR AFTER THE FIX, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS JUST A BAND AID. THE FIX DOESN'T EVEN LAST FIVE YEARS. BECAUSE THIS WILL NOT ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HYUNDAI SHOULD REPAIR THE SENSOR FOR AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OWNS THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA 4 DOOR. THE FRONT HEADLAMPS DO NOT REFLECT OUT SUFFICIENTLY. THE DRIVER SIDE LAMPS REFLECT DOWN AND CREATE A SEVERE BLIND SPOT AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITY. I TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS TOLD NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARDOUS. I WENT ON LINE YESTERDAY AND DISCOVERD THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE REPAIRED? ALSO, I SAW MY MODEL VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH. AND, THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR HAS A DEFECT WHICH CAN PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. HOW DO I GET THESE DEFECTS ON MY AUTO CORRECTED? *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. DO NOT KNOW IF AIR BAGS WILL DEPLOY CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, YET THEY ARE UNABLE TO GET PART. *TR

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS DROP TO BELOW 1,000 FOR A SECOND, AND THEN THEY REBOUND TO NORMAL ON THE TACHOMETER. YOU THINK THAT THE MOTOR IS GOING TO STOP, BUT IT DOESN'T. THIS DECREASE IN MOTOR REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE CAUSES A DROP IN THE ELECTRICITY BEING PRODUCED BY THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO DIM. THE CAR IS ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHTS ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE STAY ON TO LET YOU KNOW THE AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE TENSION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS CLIP AND WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TALKED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND HIGHWAY SAFETY AND THEY WILL NOT OFFER ANY HELP OR SOLUTIONS. WE DO NOT FEEL IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS AT A HIGH COST WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN USED, YET THEY WILL NOT WORK IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE FRUSTRATED WITH HOW WE HAVE BEEN TREATED AND ARE SHOCKED AT HOW IRRESPONSIBLE HYUNDAI IS. WE WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THEM AGAIN. STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM AND DO THE RIGHT THING!. *JB

I TOO HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMING ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT WHEN YOU LET YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEM IS THE RPMS DROP TO BELOW 1,000 FOR A SECOND, AND THEN THEY REBOUND TO NORMAL ON THE TACHOMETER. YOU THINK THAT THE MOTOR IS GOING TO STOP, BUT IT DOESN'T. THIS DECREASE IN MOTOR REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE CAUSES A DROP IN THE ELECTRICITY BEING PRODUCED BY THE ALTERNATOR, WHICH CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO DIM. THE CAR IS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS DRIVING THE CAR DURING THE DAYTIME. HOWEVER, IT MAYBE RELATED TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. AFTER USING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER, THE RPM DROP OFF ON DECELERATION SEEMS TO BE LESS SEVERE. *TR

INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS WITH 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. APPROXIMATELY EVERY 20 INSTANCES, THE CAR DOESN'T START. DEALER SERVICE CENTER CHECKED THE AUTO AND INDICATED THAT THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM. EDMUNDS WEBSITE IDENTIFIES SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM IN 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THIS COULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A SAFETY CONCERN WHEN EXPOSED TO LATE NIGHT CRIME WITH A DISABLED AUTO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. SUDDENLY, BOTH HEADLIGHTS BECAME DIM WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED LIMITED VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUSTAINED EXCESSIVE CRACKS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED - I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS DIMMING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR NOW. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60+ MPH. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO 3 DEALERSHIPS. THE 1ST DEALER SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY HARNESS WHICH THEY CHANGED AND DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO WANTED TO SELL ME A NEW BATTERY. THE 2ND ONE SAID THEY'LL NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAVE MY MONEY AND TAKE MY WIFE OUT TO LUNCH OR TRADE THE CAR IN, AND THE 3RD DEALER SAID THEY HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT ONCE BUT CAN'T REMEMBER HOW. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HYUNDAI SHOULD FIND A FIX. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY, THE POD SYSTEM, AND ECU NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,232.

I OWN A 2006 AZERA BOUGHT NEW IN FEBRUARY 2006 AND HAVE HAD MINOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS LEFT BEAM BLOCKAGE DUE TO THE WAY THE LEFT HEADLIGHT IS CREATED ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI. I NOW HAVE A PROBLEM THAT JUST STARTED 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN I HAD YET ANOTHER HEADLIGHT REPLACED. MY HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAMS) DIM FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY 20 - 30 SECONDS. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FOG LIGHTS ON BUT ALSO NOTICEABLE WITHOUT THEM. ALONG WITH THIS DIMMING THE HEATER FAN ALSO SOUNDS TO LOSE SOME POWER. I TRIED TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE BY SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND LIGHTS ON MANY TIMES FOR 30 MINUTES AND MORE BUT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND MOVING. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHECK THIS ISSUE BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT LOCATE ANY VOLTAGE DROP OR SEE THE PROBLEM. I OF COURSE ASKED THEM TO VERIFY THIS AT NIGHT BUT THEY INSISTED TO TRY TO SEE THIS DURING THE DAY. THIS IS A DEFINITE HAZARD TO THE LIFE OF THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIANS WHO MIGHT BE WALKING OR RIDING BIKES AT NIGHT. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING A PERSON IN BLACK CLOTHES AT NIGHT WHILE THEY WERE WALKING AS MY LIGHTS DIMMED AND FOR AN INSTANT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THEM. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE UP TO 5 FEET AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE LIGHTS FOUR TIMES TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08E021000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS). THE MANUFACTURERS REGIONAL MANAGER WAS SENT TO FURTHER INSPECT THE FAILURE YET THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

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

THE RAIN SENSING WIPERS DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE AFTER THE INITIAL WIPE BEFORE THE WINDSHIELD BECOMES SO CLOUDED WITH WATER THAT CLEAR ROAD VISION IS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI SERVICE FACILITIES. THEY TEST THE EQUIPMENT BY TURNING A HOSE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS DOES NOT SIMULATE ACTUAL RAIN CONDITIONS. THE LATEST OCCURRENCE OF THIS MALFUNCTION WAS ON JULY 22,2009. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. AFTER CALLING THE DEALER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V497000 (SEAT BELTS:FRONT).

DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT WAS SO SMALL DRIVERS HEAD STRUCK ROOF OF CAR CAUSING NECK AND BACK INJURIES AND NEVER MADE ANY CONTACT WITH AIRBAG. DRIVERS FORWARD MOTION IN ACCIDENT WAS STOPPED BY HITTING HEAD ON ROOF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE SERVICE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE WERE AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHICH CONSIST OF A FUSE AND WIRING REPLACEMENT. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE FUSE REPLACEMENT. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT TO USING THE CELL PHONE ADAPTER IN THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE CELLULAR PHONE CHARGER WAS PLUGGED INTO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND STALL. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 36,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH ON A DARK ROAD, THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE A DEER IN THE ROAD BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SHINING ONLY 20 FEET AHEAD. AS A RESULT, THE DEER WAS STRUCK BY THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS UNINJURED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DRIVER'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL RELATING TO THE HEADLIGHTS, BUT IT DID NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 33,375 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,300.

2006 HYUNDAI AZERA VEHICLE CAN NOT BE ALIGNED PROPERLY CAUSING THE TIRES EXCESSIVE WEAR AND UNSAFE TRACTION. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED IN 2008. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEAT. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THIS TIME THEY REPLACED A WIRING HARNESS. A FEW MONTHS LATER WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS LAST INCIDENT WAS IN 8/2010. NOW IT IS ON AGAIN AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT UNDER ANY KIND OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS A COMPONENT OF THE SAFETY SYSTEM AND CONTINUING FAILURES OF THE SAME PART SHOULD CALL FOR ADDITIONAL RECALLS. *TR

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

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DIM DRASTICALLY WHILE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP. EACH TIME THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN SHOWN THEM THE TSB PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS SOME EXCUSE WHY IT IS HAPPENING AND IT GENERALLY CENTERS AROUND SUPPOSED CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING TERMINALS, REPLACING BATTERY, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY SUGGESTED, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DIM. THEY REFUSE TO DO THE FIX AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB AND SAY THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING, EXCEPT THE BATTERY WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS UP WAS IN 2008 AND MULTIPLE TIME PER YEAR SINCE WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR WITH THE AMOUNT OF STRAIN ON THE SYSTEM AND AGING OF THE VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO DART OUT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO REACT IN TIME SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT PROJECTING THEIR FULL DISTANCE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

WE HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT FEATURES AN OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM OR OCS IS NOT WORKING. WE HAVE ADVISED OUR DEALERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THE SYSTEM WORKS AS DESIGNED. WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN THE CAR'S FRONT SEAT (HER WEIGHT IS 137 POUNDS) WITH OR WITHOUT THE ENGINE ON AND BUCKLES IN, THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT BELOW THE SPEEDOMETER STAYS LIT AND A MIDDLE CONSOLE INDICATOR SAYS, "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF." TO MAKE THE SYSTEM FUNCTION PROPERLY WE HAVE HAD TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE TWO FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM WORKS NORMALLY. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT OUR HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN HUNTSVILLE, AL SAID THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY IF THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS RESET AFTER WE RESTART THE CAR. ALL PREVIOUS DIAGNOSTIC TESTS BY THE DEALERSHIP HAVE FOUND ZERO ERRORS IN THE SYSTEM. ON 14 JUNE 2008, WE STARTED OUR CAR IN OUR GARAGE AND BOTH THE DASHBOARD AND CENTER CONSOLE INDICATOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON. WE TURNED OFF OUR CAR'S ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT 5 TIMES TO GET THE SYSTEM TO RESET WITHOUT SUCCESS. MY WIFE SAT IN THE BACK SEAT FOR SAFETY. THE FRONT AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT RESET AFTER MULTIPLE STOPS DURING THE DAY. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO OUR HYUNDAI DEALER ON 16 JUNE AND SERVICE PERSONNEL ARE STILL DIAGNOSING IT. I CALLED HYUNDAI'S RECALL CENTER TO SEE IF OUR AZERA'S FRONT OCS AIRBAG IS SIMILAR TO THE 2006 TO 2008 HYUNDAI SONATA OCS RECALL (#08V161000) AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT MY DEALER. WHEN I RELAYED THIS INFORMATION TO OUR HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE MANAGER HE SAID THAT HYUNDAI HAD NOT INFORMED HIM OF ANY PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IF THE 2 SYSTEMS ARE SIMILAR THEN THE SONATA OCS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE AZERA MODEL TOO. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA TWO YEARS AGO. I CALLED TO TELL HYUNDAI USA THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM WAS NOT OPERATING WITH A FULL FIELD OF LIGHT, IT APPEARS TO HAVE A SHIELD OVER THE TOP HALF OF THE LIGHT. THIS CREATES A SHARP DISTINCTIVE SHADOW AND A VERY SHORT FIELD OF LIGHT WHEN DRIVING IN DARKNESS AND IS NOT ILLUMINATING A SAFE AMOUNT OF THE ROAD. I HAVE TALKED TO HYUNDAI USA AND TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERS ABOUT IT AND THE PROBLEM GOES UNACKNOWLEDGED. THEY ALL SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY DO ATTEMPT TO ADJUST IT. THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THE LIGHT IS POINTED DOWN TO AVOID BLINDING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC, BUT IF THE DRIVER IS NOT PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE IN FRONT OF HIM, HE IS VIRTUALLY DRIVING BLIND. THIS IS A REAL DRIVING HAZARD. I AM NOW AWARE OF THE RECALL 08E-021 CONCERNING THE REPLACEMENT LAMPS ON HYUNDAI, BUT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. *TR

SENSOR FAILS FOR SEATBELT/AIRBAGS RESULTING IN ????? *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA DIM CONSTANTLY AT NIGHT. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE AZERA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SUSPENSION ALSO HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. NOISE AND A LOOSE SUSPENSION PROBLEM ALSO NO FIX BY HYUNDAI. *TR
