Okay, so today I am getting onto Interstate 19 heading south toward Tucson. I started noticing that I could not accelerate fast enough to enter the freeway at speed. My tranny has shifted clear down to 3rd gear, the engine rpm is high and still I cannot get up to the required 75 mph.

All of a sudden the car seems as though it is in an earthquake. My azera begins to shudder as though...

Hi all.

My Azzy was built on 11/30/07 and pulls slightly to the right since I bought it. I've had the alignment and tires checked and these came out good. Well, the tech said the weights on the tire were incorrect.

Anyone else have this problem or know what my next steps would be?

I also have vibration at the steering wheel too.

Thanks and thanks...

I was going to do a poll, but I can't get the poll function to work.

Anyway, I'm curious to hear how many Azera owners have had suspension issues with their Azera. In particular, the wallowing and harshness and/or clunking over rough/uneven pavement.

Please reply with the following info:

-Year of your Azera
-Mileage at which you began to notice a...

Hyundai has just published TSB # 07-50-007.
Subject:"Front Shock Absorber Replacement-"Hollow" Knocking Noise"

This concerns the annoying "clunk" many owners have mentioned, and covers Azera's with build dates from 12/05/05 - 02/26/07.

Well...the first MAJOR issue the azzy has had. My 9 month old car just got a crack in the dashboard. I took it in and my dealer is going to fix it under warranty but this means ripping out the whole dash assembly and replacing. Who knows how many clunks and rattles it will have now. Turns out it split where the airbag seam is.
This car has had its minor issues but this one takes the cake....

Here's the good and bad one year later:

Good: Style,comfort and everthing still fits in place. Turns heads and people often ask what type of vehicle it is. Surprised it's a Hyundai. Generally a pleasure to drive (especially after strut replacement) and peformance is as expected.

Bad: Residual value is really poor. Did not expect this... I was going to purchase another...

I have a 2007 Hyundai Azera limited, purchased 3 months ago. I really love the car so far but I would like a few opinions. I am considering purchasing vent visors for the car. The car is silver with black interior. Does anyone have vent visors on their Azera? and if so how do they look. I like to ride with the windows cracked but found out if it is raining its not a very good idea. I dont want to...

Question:

How low does a tire have to get before the TPMS warns of it?

I have a 07 Azera and a couple of days ago I came out to start my car and the battery was dead. So I got a jump and all was well.....until I attempted to start the car again later that night and the battery was dead yet again. So WTF, right? Come to find out that after the second jump and I got home, as I'm pulling items from my car, the fan started up again and that is want is killing the...

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at . TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models quickly. Also, any...

The valve train on the 3.3 V6 and the 3.8 V6 in the Azera are the same. The valve sizes are identical. I think this explains the reason why the 3.3 delivers more HP per liter than the 3.8. It also explains the 300+ HP being developed by the Genesis 3.8 V6. New valve train actually made for the 3.8. Not sure if different cams are being used. Yes, I know it's spelled Genesis.

Okay, I don't recall exactly what magazine, but I was looking at several mags at Borders this weekend and the review of the 09 Azzy said that Hyundai re-tuned the steering and suspension specifically. I plan to go to a dealer this weekend and find out if this is true with a test drive of a 09, if I can find it.

I just purchased a used 07 Azera, and realized the emblem on the steering wheel is already peeling. I called the dealer (and Hyundai corporate) and they're saying I have to replace the entire airbag assembly - JUST TO REPLACE THE EMBLEM!! default/w00t.gif' 'w00t.gif' />

Hello! I have been lurking here and reading posts for the last 2 months, as I am considering either an Azera or Sonata. I have driven both cars and like the ride of the Azera over the Sonata, but of the 4 2007 Azeras I have driven 2 have had cracked dashes around the air bag and they had 10K and 6K on them. 2 had the clunk in the front end with mileage of 10K and 14K.

So I ask,...

I am having a problem with the seatbelt on the passenger seat on my 07 Azera. The problem seems to be that when you pull it out to buckle it and it retracts to remove the slack it will not release again to allow you to move around in the seat or to lean forward to get something off the floor or out of the glove box.
I've had it back to the dealer and they replaced the entire seatbelt but...

I went on a golf trip over the weekend down to southen KY. I took the boys down in my Azera as we had plenty of room in the oversized trunk. Plenty of room in the car as well and the drive was very cool relaxing as the temp outside was well into the 90s.

The car is fun to drive but wow the suspension sounds like my old 85 Dodge Dart. Instead of the clunk that happens when the car...

I have experienced a vibration with my 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited between 65 and 75 MPH ( most noticible at 70 mph) since the day of delivery in early Sept 2007. The steering wheel oscillates in my hand and can be visibly seen shaking. I called the salesman on the way home and he recommended I drive it a few days to see if it might have been caused by tire flat spotting from sitting on the lot for...

Hello...I have a 2006 Azera Limited with the Infinety Sound system and from time to time my sound goes out, then comes back on, even though there is always power to the radio.

It seems like it could be lose wiring of some sort, and/or possibly over...

I received a notification from Vehicle Warranty Division Recall Notification Center that there is a recall on my 2006 Azera. Received a postcard in the mail to call 800 649 1997 ASAP

Could this be a extended vehicle warranty company trying to sign me up to a long term contract or is it on the up and up?

We traded the Azzie three weeks ago for a Scion tC. Guess what? The tC has all remote functions integrated into the key! No more flopping, banging key fob. No more inadvertently hitting the panic button. Are you listening Hyundai?

I bought a 2007 Azera Limited Premium. I hate fm transmitters for my ipod and am hoping to get a direct line to connect to the cd changer. Has anyone had any luck or possible suggestions to remedy this? Thanks,

Hello all,

We bought an '07 Azera last week from a dealer.

My understanding is replacement/additional keys can only be obtained through either the company or a dealer with proper equipment. Our local dealer told me that they would need to send the order to the company as they do no have the key cutting equipment and that the company will only cut a package of three -...

Has anyone else been having electrical problems with the 2006 Azera Limited

The now infamous "bounce test" has shown that the Azera's rear suspension characteristics are notably different than the front - firmer and probably just right for all 4 corners on a new car.

Why could that be? Think it's a double-wishbone like the front?

Surprise!

How is the 2007 Azera Limited different from the Limited with the Ultimate Package? I will be purchasing a 2007 very soon, and want to be sure I know exactly the differences - as of now, I really can't find much.

I previously wrote that how impressed I was with the Azera but have not been able to find a supply of 2008s with nav. Of the five area dealers, the only available cars were 2007s. I just heard from one of the dealers that there will be no more Azeras. He has one 2007 left and that will be it. No more new shipments. The car is to be replaced with the Genesis that is due out in the next month...

My Azera odo just recently turned over 17,000 miles.

Last week I started noticing that the clunking sound seemed to be either muffled or gone. "Okay", I said to myself, "This is just my imagination. I won't put this information on the Hyundai website until I am absolutely sure that this is not just a figment of my imagination".

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem.

When I shift out of Park into either Drive or Reverse, I have to wait about 1 second before applying gas. If I don't wait that 1 second, I get a hefty jerk 'just' as the car starts moving. It's like the engine and transmission are getting synchronized before they find first gear.

Was going to put my rear state plate on and there screws which just keep going around and don't come out....there is a round hard plastic washer behind them. The front ones were easy but can't figure out the back....is there a secret?

Has anyone looked into getting all the Hyundai factory components to add FACTORY XM to their Azera? I am not getting a lot of help out of the dealer on this?

I have a2007 Azera with 21000 miles that after about five miles developes a warbling noise in the front. Had tires rotated and 4 wheel alignment but no change.

Hi all - this question is in particular for folks with the pearl white paint. The rocker panels are body-colored, which is perfect, but there are 'drain holes' in the bottom of each door frame, I believe 3 in the front door and 2 in the rears. There are also 3 in the trunk lid frame. They are simply 1/4", square-cut gaps in the bottom of the frame, presumably to allow any water or...

OK, I'm going to tread lightly, because I don't want to initiate a cascade of Azera bashing. So I'm going to do a "compliment sandwich". I love my Azeras. OUR Azeras.

Noted the Suspension on the Azera ie struts, are awful. The car bounces, makes clunking noise on the 2006 models especially. Maybe not on all onwers of Azeras but on most. This is a problem for someone who pays over 25,000 for a automoblie thinking they have a quality car when it turns out nothing can be done about the noise. The dealers for the most part will not fix the problem but on the...

The regional service manager called with the following information. He contacted corporate HQ and the technical departments to get the information.
There is no essential difference between the 040, 041 and 640 shocks. The numbers relate to the year of manufacture and not a change in the design of the shocks. The 040's were used in the TSB to eliminate the "noise" caused by the...

My brand new Azera has a suspension noise on the passenger side. It is noticeable
at speeds under 30 mph when going over smaller road bumps. It sounds and feels like a bad strut or shock (hard to tell if it is coming from the front or back).

Anyone else have this?

I just spent a little while reviewing other MY 2006 cars that have been cited as competitors for Azera. Not, of course, for pricing or features, but rather for consumer reviews & reliability.
