general problems of the 2006 Hyundai Azera

2006 Hyundai Azera gas pedal lost all power at 30 mph on freeway. Vehicle still running but will not accelerate past 30 mph. Restarted car, lost power at 30 mph. Extremely dangerous. This happened on freeway heading away from home. Had to turn around in emergency turn around and head back home with flashers on 30 mph all the way home. Accelerator continues to lose power at 30 mph. Losing power on freeway and in intersections is a horrible feeling.

Car was traveling at approx. 18 mph. I applied brakes to make a left turn. When I pressed on the brakes, the car accelerated, and the brakes began stiff and would not stop the car. The car ran into a closed overhead double garage door, continued thru the garage and hit the brick wall on the back of the garage. The airbags did not deploy. I sustained lacerations and bruises. The car was deemed a total loss by the insurance company. Hyundai had the car inspected by an independent third party, and no problems were noted. Hyundai has not shared the results of the investigation with us. We have since used our own third party to test the car and the abs and esc warning lights remain on indicating there is a problem with both systems.

The contact owns a 2006 Hyundai Azera limited. The contact was driving 10 mph when his foot was applied to the brakes and the vehicle un expectedly accelerated forward. The failure caused the vehicle to crash into four parked vehicles. The vehicle was not destroyed, and was towed to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified, but the vehicle was not repaired. The failure occurred on the three previous occasions. The failure and current mileage was 50,000.

I was driving east bound on I-90 passing when the car accelerated on its own. I applied brakes (til smoking) brought the car to the right shoulder and turned the engine off. I called for a tow and had the car taken to the closest dealership.

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.

2006 Hyundai Azera limited with gear problems customer states that while driving, the car would not slow down as her foot was taken off the gas and put on the brake** the consumer stated while driving and switching into a different lane at about 60 or 65 miles an hour she took her foot off the accelerator and applied the brakes but the vehicle would not slow down. The consumer stated almost standing on the brake a few times is what finally slowed the vehicle down and then the vehicle ran normal.
