I PAID A PREMIUM FOR AN IN-DASH NAVIGATION SYSTEM. HYUNDAI HAS NOW DECIDED THAT THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING MAP UPDATES FOR VEHICLES PURCHASED BEFORE 2011. DESPITE COMPLAINTS TO THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND A LETTER TO THEIR PRESIDENT, I AM BEING TOLD THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR OUT-OF DATE MAPS. SEEMS TO ME THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS AN OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE MAP UPDATES FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEMS IN THEIR CARS AND HYUNDAI HAS IGNORED THAT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE GPS UNIT IS OUT DATED WITH HYUNDAI. CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET UPDATE, HYUNDAI SAYS THEY NO LONGER USE LG WHO DID ALL THE GPS UPDATES, AFTER USING THE GPS I ENDED UP IN WRONG LOCATION, PUTTING ME ONTO A WRONG WAY STREET, CAUSING ME TO DRIVE ON A ONE WAY DIRECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEAD ON, THEN IT TOLD ME TO TAKE A STREET THAT PUT ME ALMOST IN THE OCEAN. I DO BELIEVE HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS ALONE, AFTER A POST ON FACEBOOK, THIS SEEMS TO BE A NATION WIDE PROBLEM, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

Vehicle Speed Control
08/12/2014
THE FIRST TIME, I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE AND SPEED UP. THE PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT WAS NOT CAUGHT ON THE RUG AND WHEN I TRIED LIFTING WITH MY FOOT IT WAS NOT STUCK DOWN. THE SECOND TIME, THE ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED DOWN, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPEED UP AND RACE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE. I HAD TO KEEP MY FOOD ON THE BRAKE BUT THE CAR AS BEFORE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE.. I HAD THE DEALER IN RENTON LOOK AT IT BUT THEY SEEM NOT TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

Service Brakes, engine

ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5, AT APPROXIMATELY 5:40AM, THE 2009 AZERA CAME UP TO AN INTERSECTION. FAILURE TO STOP CAUSED THE DRIVER TO RUN THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR BECAME LODGED UNDERNEATH A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER, AND WAS DRAGGED SEVERAL FEET BEFORE THE SEMI STOPPED. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. HE DID NOT HAVE A MEDICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER DROVE THIS ROAD EVERYDAY. THEY WERE AWARE OF THE STOP SIGN, AND HAD A SPOTLESS DRIVING RECORD. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF THE CAR TO PROVE THAT THE BRAKES FAILED. ONLY THE TRUNK REMAINS. *TR
