Defective engine cover gasket leaked oil on alternator and destroyed it. Same condition as recent Hyundai vera cruz recall. I believe engines are the same but Azera not included in recall.
Extreme fire hazard warning - Hyundai - insufficient wiring insulation. 2009 Azera stalled and died going 45 mph during light rain 12/9/19. Tow truck driver tested battery and found low alternator output. Replaced alternator and valve cover gasket where oil was leaking onto alternator. Once repaired, continued to get p0108 error code and stalling after 20 min of run. Removed paint and added electrical gel to all main ground wire to body/frame points (all were painted, unsure how it was grounded in first place). Problem persisted with new codes now p2106, p1295, p0122, p0222, p0123, p0108, p2173, p161b. Limped car to local shop and called Hyundai, who assigned case #16592407. Shop said map sensor was bad, replaced with new sensor. Problem persisted with p0108 code in driveway idling. Did vacuum check on tubing but found bare wires on wiring run that holds oil pressure, map sensor, engine temp sensor and others on 1/1/20. Under fabric wrap around wire bundles, all wiring insulation has dissentigrated causing short circuits and bad map sensor voltage. All wiring is bad that runs across engine top has bad insulation almost to alternator. Extreme fire hazard. Attempting to contact dealer. Insulation on wires cannot handle engine temps and disintegrates leaving bare wires. 2009 Hyundai Azera with 3. 3 l v6, 123,000 miles.
