2009 Hyundai Azera Complaints

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 TO WORK. 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,400.

HAVE HAD OCCURRENCES OF 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COME ON AND THE CODE THAT CAME UP WAS P0504 INDICATING A BRAKE SWITCH MALFUNCTION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS WITH THE CAR, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT GOES OFF, BUT REOCCURS AT A LATER DATE. *TR

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM REALIGNMENT DUE TO HOW THE VEHICLE WAS SET AT THE FACTORY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.
