Electrical System Problems of Hyundai Azera - part 2

Driving 2006 Hyundai azetra on I-95 on Feb 10, 2018 @10:30 pm all dash lights beginning with abs brakes went ballistic and car began to buck like a bronco, then began to drive car 2 to 3 lanes on right lane to exit in deerfield at sw 10th st on an incline ramp in which brakes were failing and steering wheel not working to maneuver a turn. Had to forcefully turn steering wheel hard to right to avoid causing car to crash or harming others on road (which caused extreme discomfort on shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand today) and engine turned off which car coasted downhill and made first right turn coasted a few feet and car stopped. When car was enabled onto flat bed by tow CO, noticed red fluid on ground which could be transmission or gasoline??? everything happened so quickly; very scared for our lives. Didn't sleep well and uneasy today I also notified Hyundai today @1-800-633-5151 and gave a report in which a case worker will notify us in 3 to 5 business days, confirmation # 11007142.

Car was driven on highway w/ 1300 miles on it (brand new lease) with no traffic around vehicle when front end collision warning alert and electronic power brake alert lights came on; once able to get to a safe stopping area (parking lot), car was put in park and owners manual reviewed to see what the warning, alert lights & sounds related to. When attempting to put into gear the gear shift would not move from park. Called dealer ~ was told to shut off car and try again as "sometimes this can happen if too close to a car or if it is raining" (neither applied) but car went in to gear then driven to destination. Two hours later back in car getting on entrance ramp of highway and pick up truck in front of mine slammed on brakes, I hit brakes & hit pick up truck hitch. No warning system came on, no alerts, no lights, no front end collision warning brake system took affect and not even sure if brakes engaged. Car was towed to dealer after service hours, by morning they sent car to collision shop and it has sat there for 2 months now. Contacted Hyundai motor corp to file complaint and see if this system failed as this is a brand new car in my possession for a mere month. Inspector was sent to check system diagnostic codes etc and report filed to Hyundai; they claim they were unable to find malfunctions or defects that would have caused the accident as I "allege", yet there are diagnostic trouble codes. Upon receiving this information I asked to see the report and was told no I can't ~ what is Hyundai motor America hiding? why am I not entitled to see the report of what is wrong with my car? how do I know this is not pertaining to what led up to a car accident when earlier in day that system activated unnecessarily? the dealership and its sister dealership were told not to accept car for service evaluation, really?! why and by who would they deny this car service check?!.

At approximately 40k miles the air bag warning indicator came on while there was a child passenger in the front seat. It only came on when my 15 year old would sit there and we were moving. I brought it to the dealer and the fault was reset. The dealer stated if it reoccured they would order a new sensor. It did reoccur this time while traveling on the highway with a 160 lb. 5'5 man in the passenger seat, and the dealer was notified. I was told that when the part came in they would call. The dealer never called. Due to lack of time on my part I did not follow up for two years and the light was on the entire time. When I did go back the dealer started that was to long ago and now the part is no longer under warranty despite being documented as bad while it was still under warranty. Now while searching for a part online I found that this is a known issue and the was a recall for this. Why don't the dealer fix it?.

After about 800 miles, my vehicle began making a loud clattering noise at start up. Now at approximately 15k miles, the vehicle has been returned to the purchasing dealer to rectify this problem several times. A Hyundai representative deemed this loud obtrusive noise normal. He stated it is a timing chain tensioner that is causing the noise. He also states the tensioner has to be "primed" during initial start up. I replied, if this is the case, why it took 800 miles for the noise to become audible? he repeated his statement by saying this is normal. I then replied, in no shape form or fashion, this is normal. The noise is so loud, the representative and no choice but to say he herd it, but now says it is normal. After completing some in-depth research on Hyundai's 3. 3 liter lamda engines, the clattering noise has been reported countless times to Hyundai. Although my vehicle was purchased new and still remains under factory warranty, Hyundai has refused to correct this obvious engine defect. Now while coming to a stop, the vehicle idles fine, then the rpm's violently drop to around 500. After several seconds, the rpm's return to its normal, 750 rpm's. I returned the vehicle to Hyundai concerning this problem. Once again, they deemed normal. To this date, Hyundai has refused to honor the factory's warranty on any of my vehicle's obvious engineering defeats.

About two weeks ago, the back portion of the front driver's side seat began moving forward automatically while I was driving the car. I also noticed that when the car is parked the seat would move forward as well. When the seat moves forward, I am put very close to the steering wheel, which makes it difficult to steer and interferes with my ability to brake quickly. Also, because I am so close to the steering wheel, I believe that if the air bags were to deploy I would be unnecessarily harmed. I brought the car to a dealership on December 17, 2014 because of a separate recall notice I was sent. The dealership replaced the stop lamp switch and added corrosive protection to the under carriage of my car. When I asked the service manager if he could run a diagnostic on my car while it was being repaired, he informed me that because the car was not under warranty, I would have to pay $130 dollars. The bts wire in the front passenger seat has already been repaired, at 24,144 miles, so I believe that there could be a connection between the fact that there was a faulty wire in the front passenger seat and the issues I am now having with the front driver's seat.

The passenger airbay light that comes on when someone is not seating in the front passenger seat stays on all the time. In an accident the passanger air bag will not deploy.

I was at a stop light and it turned green so I went and in the middle of me turning it died and started back up. It does this to me alot and I have had it in the shop they cant find anything wrong. I also have a problem with the lights diming everytime I decrease speed and my rpms drop damadically low.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled as the check engine, no key, and battery warning lamps illuminated. The contact mentioned that he was able to restart the vehicle after shifting into neutral. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was not able to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 33,000.

While sitting in a drive thru window at a complete stop, my car experienced sudden unintended acceleration and crashed into the stop car in front of me. The rate at which my car accelerated was so great that I had whip lash from this event. I am scared to drive my car again. I called Hyundai who assured me that this did not happen as I stated and there is nothing wrong with their cars. Interestingly, my car had just been at the dealer(2 weeks) for a TSB on "emission control" issue. My car was sluggish and staling when I came to a stop. Now 2 weeks later I am slamming into a stopped car at what seemed like 60mph!! please help me.

When the seatbelts are unbuckled, the warning chime does not come on. The blinker sound does not come on either. When discussed with service department at dealer, they didn't know how to fix it.

I purchased a used 2008 Hyundai Azera from a non-Hyundai dealership. Several days after taking possession of it, we drove it on an overnight trip out of town. On the drive back home, the front driver's seat, which is equipped with full power seat controls, moved forward autonomously, crushing my husband against the steering wheel while we were on the highway. He quickly pushed the power seat control to move the seat back, but as soon as he let go, the seat would move forward again. After several incidents of moving the seat back only to have it move forward again, he pulled over, got out, pushed the seat back, and got back in. However, once he was back in the car, it moved forward again. After moving it back yet again, it didn't move again for a little while. I contacted the sales person the following day. He said I needed to clear the "seat preference" memory (which I subsequently did several times) but otherwise he (and the dealership) disavowed any responsibility. Due to inclement weather, I drove another car for several days. But, when I went to drive the Azera, the front driver's seat was up against the steering wheel, having moved on its own sometime after the car had been parked/turned off. I continued to find the seat up against the steering wheel over the next several days, despite it being in a normal position when I had turned the car off. Then the driver seat start moving forward while I was driving. I was able to override the control temporarily. I parked the car, but when I attempted to get back in it, it kept pinning me against the steering wheel. I finally managed to hold the seat switch with all my strength to drive the car several block home. It has since been towed to a Hyundai dealership to be repaired. Given the other complaints of the seat moving on its own, I believe there is a defect in the switch equipment that Hyundai should fix.

I can be driving and the d for drive will go out if I park and get out and get back in and put my car in drive my car won't go anywhere I will have to find a screw driver and press the release button beside the gears I can try to parallel park in traffic and as soon as I put my car in reverse then back on driver car won't move I have to continue to go in reverse or get out and have my car pushed until the car is ready to go back into drive.

When I start car, in daylight, the radio/gps screen is dim. If I restart car the car the screen comes to full brightness. All tech people at millennium Hyundai have supplied documentation that they agree with my statement but Hyundai corporation clearly refuses to fix the problem. All I have asked is that if this becomes a permanent situation after the three year guarantee they will fix it.

Drivers powerseat back tilts forward pinning driver to steering wheel,this happens on it"s own, you have to pull to side of road to reposition seatback! very dangerous,driver is pinned to steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the driver's seat moved independently. The contact mentioned that the seat would recline, move forward and backward without any one touching the controls or the vehicle being powered on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000 and the current mileage was 52,294. The consumer stated the seat would even move, when the vehicle was turned off. She purposely left the seat in the forward position and upon returning to the vehicle, the seat was in the reverse position. The dealer found a short in the seat switch. Updated 12/23/13.

Car is locked, parked and no one is in it. The back reclining portion of the drivers will move towards the steering wheel by itself. I will move it back to position and begin to drive. The seat will move on its own toward the steering wheel, smashing me. I had to remove the headrest just to have some room. I will keep my hand on the seat controls and try to move it back into original position. Sometimes this works but most of the time will not let me move it. While this is going on, my seat belt is also getting very tight and uncomfortable. Several people have seen this happen and some have seen it while no one was in the car. The back of the drivers seat just moves toward the steering wheel. I am afraid to drive this car. If I cannot get the seat to return to position I am up against the air bag, which also scares me. If I had an accident while all this is going on, (and this is very frightening for me), the air bag would deploy and it wouldn't be good, I am sure. This is something I hear about on the news, air bags killing someone. I really need some assistance with this problem. This is a very serious and possibly dangerous situation. I would appreciate your help.

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.

On September 6, 2012 I bought a used 2006 Hyundai Azera from sutton Ford, Lincoln, kia dealer. I had the car for 3 days and noticed that the lights would dim on the car as well as the lights on the dash board to include the radio going off the air and coming back on whenever I had to apply the brakes. On streets that are not well lighted the visibility was very very poor. The back window shade does not work when placing the car in reverse or in the drive mode the motor operating the shade makes a noise until I have driven the car for a few minutes. The shade does not operate according to the car manual. This problem should warrant a recall on the vehicle. Additionally, whenever the lights dim and I am approaching another vehicle in oncoming traffic and having to stop at a stop sign or a traffic light I am not comfortable because I do not want the other driver thinking I am flashing my lights at them.

I purchased a 2009 Hyundai Azera last year from fuccillo Chevrolet in grand island, new york. The car was new and still on the lot after 2 years but I was assured that there was nothing wrong it and I have been pleased with the vehicle up until now. However, yesterday while driving home from work, the car went into an emergency slow-down mode and both the ecs off and check engine light went on. This happened on the thruway while I was driving in heavy traffic which was harrowing. Fortunately, I was able to 'limp' off the highway and get to a side street. I called my husband and the emergency roadside assistance and my vehicle has now been taken to northtown Hyundai in amherst, NY. My husband researched the slow-down/ecs issue on the internet and found that there have been numerous cases of this happening due to a defective throttle control device in many of the Hyundai and kia models. In fact, a woman at the service counter who had a 2007 Azera had the exact same issue with her car! needless to say, this should be a recall issue and that is the reason why I am writing. It seems that this throttle control issue is fairly common with these vehicles and it is also potentially dangerous. Please make them initiate a recall.

Passenger air bag light comes on, passenger seat belt light comes on when no one is sitting in seat. The module was replaced about 75,000 miles.

The drivers side door is randomly unlocking without provocation. It happens most often when idling at a complete stop, accelerating from a complete stop or from a slow speed. The auto-lock function is disabled for up to several seconds after each occurrence so the door can not be relocked. In the beginning this happened rarely. Now it's happening daily.

Several weeks ago I took my car to the Hyundai dealer's service department for warranty work. Over the last few months, while parked and unattended, the back of the driver's seat, on its own, readjusted itself all the way forward. This happened almost daily. The dealer said everything looked ok and they could not determine a cause. On 9/12/11 I sat in the driver's seat as I was perparing to leave work, and the seat back readjusted itself with me in it (car had not yet been started). It pushed me forward and up against the steering wheel. I was unable to stop the movement or readjust the back until the seat back completed its trek all the way forward. After the first time, I readjusted the seat and started driving on the bwi parkway at 55 mph when the seat back did it again, and again, and again. I headed straight for the dealer and during the 15 +/- miles to the dealer, I was compressed against the steering wheel about 20 more times. I am 6 feet tall and have long legs, and during the times I was driving and compressed against the steering wheel, it was extremely difficult to move my foot from the accelerator to the brake. As a result, as soon as I would feel the seat start to move forward, I had to pull over to the shoulder of the parkway until the seat stopped and I could readjust the back. Thankfully, this time when I arrived at the service department, the seat compressed the service attendant while he was sitting in my car, so he could see that there is a problem! several months ago when I first noticed the back readjusting on its own, I googled the problem and discovered that this issue with Azeras has been ongoing for quite some time. I hope that it will not take someone getting seriously hurt or killed before something is done to make huyndi acknowledge the problem. They think it is a switch. . . . We will see!.

2006 Hyundai Azera. Consumer states vehicle has an electrical problem and lurches forward during downshifts 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.

Driver from kuwait replies the rpm meter works intermittently. However performance of the vehicle is excellent driven kilometer 3200 km . While the rpm fails, the average l/km, average distance /km and time elapsed indicators freeze !.

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.

2008 Hyundai Azera. . . . . . . Driving speed limit (75) when the check engine light comes on but I have no acceleration ability. It occurred three times and but did make it home. In talking to a dealer he knew immediately that it was a throttle sensor. Had this happened while passing or on a road w/ no shoulder, it could lead to an accident or fatality. Hyundai America nor the dealer didn't seem very concerned. . . Surprising considering the Toyota problems.

While driving on the expressway the car lost all excelleration and I had to manuever out of traffic to the side of the road. I was traveling out of state and it happened several times before I could get help. Due to the danger it was towed to a dealer and they reported a throttle sensor was bad.
