general problems of the 2006 Hyundai Azera

Without warning, my car lost power as I was driving on the interstate. I started changing lanes to get over to the shoulder, and before I got to the shoulder smoke began to come out of the hood then flames started. I was able to pull over and get myself and my special needs son out of the car with the help of others who saw the flames and also pulled over. 911 was called and police and fire came. The firefighters put out my engine fire with their chemical suppressants. My car does not have an active recall on it, but other makes and models with this same engine do, so I never receivedany warming about this problem happening with my same engine. I have always had it serviced at the dealership. This was very traumatic.

At 12:50 am on 2/17/2019 when the car was pulled over on the w. Bound 72nd st exit ramp of I-80 in omaha, ne the engine started on fire. The car was pulled over because it was chugging on the interstate highway and ramp. The weather was snowing and there were police on duty due to other resons so the police saw the fire, called the fire dep't and had the car taken to the pollice impound lot. My insurance CO. Inspected the car and declared the car a total loss. The VIN was checked afterwards and this car has a history of electrical engine shorts causing fires and I was not notified.

Seat: in August 2019, while my son was driving my car with both hands on the steering wheel and me in the front passenger seat on a city street the driver seat back started to fold forward to the point my son was screaming and scared not knowing what was happening he had to make an abrupt exit off the road into a parking lot we were passing. Once safely parked he pulled the latch on the side that controls the seat back and made the seat go back into place. Now as of may 2020, the seat will only go backwards and is stuck in that position and will not go forward at all. Suspension: I have had this car since the beginning of April 2014, I have had the suspension done I know at a minimum of 5 times to date, the last being 7/2/2020 and currently being told it needs to be fixed again!!!!!! this is ridiculous!!! engine: the check engine alert comes on every time I cut the car on for the last 2 years or so. Each time it was taken to the mechanic and the error code came up the same so I paid to get the issue fixed to no avail. The check engine alert continues to come on and I was told it is a sensor malfunction. Air bag icon: this has been on for the past year and I was told yet again that it is a sensor malfunction.

Heard on tv about the recall about the motor and brakes. Noone has contacted me about this recall.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the vehicle loss power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 60,120. Ad.

Tried unlocking the door with the remote,didn't work,used the key to unlock the door,inside lights didn't come on. When I put the key in the ignition,nothing happened,no lights,no clicking,no nothing. . Like the whole car just completely shut down,no type of power.

The engine blew at 81,000 miles in a well maintained vehicle no warning lights ever came on. Hyundai corp and customer service took no ownership for this problem. No choice but to purchase a refurbished engine. The vehicle had been in for routine service 2 weeks earlier and no problems detected. Very unhappy with this product and the last of responsibility by Hyundai corp.

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.
