2007 HYUNDAI AZERA Complaints

MALFUNCTION IN THE SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN WHILE IN OPERATION WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT ACCIDENT. DEALER MECHANICAL SERVICES STATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFT INTERLOCK CABLE BUSHING BREAKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SEAT BELT AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NEW WIRING HARNESS CLIP WAS LOOSE AND NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V007000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS) BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT NO ONE OVER 150 LBS SHOULD UTILIZE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SEAT LIMIT WAS 150 LBS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATES. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO A RECALL FOR CAMPAIGN 094 WHICH WAS FIXED IN DEC 2014. MY REGULAR CAR SERVICE PROVIDER HAS DIAGNOSED AND CONFIRMED IT TO THE SAME ISSUE AND SAYS THE RECALL IS NOT PROPERLY FIXED BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALER DOES NOT AGREE. HOW CAN ONE CONFIRM IF RECALL WAS PROPERLY FIXED OR NOT. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT INDICATOR CAME ON AFTER FEW MONTHS OF FIXING THE RECALL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT TO BE SOME COMPUTER CODES ISSUE AND GOT THE CODES CLEARED BUT IT CAME BACK AFTER A MONTH AGAIN. CAMPAIGN 094 STATES "THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR MAY BECOME DAMAGED AFTER REPEATED USE OF THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT. IF THE WIRING IS DAMAGED, THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN FEBRUARY 22, 2010. THE HYUNDAI RECALL NUMBER IS 094." I DON'T REMEBER THE EXACT DATE OF WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I AM PUTTING A DUMMY DATE OF 01/01/2016

BRAKES WERE LOOSE TOOK TO SHOP TOLD IT WAS MASTER CYLINDER, WENT THROUGH THREE MASTER CYLINDERS THEN THE ABS, BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH PANEL, LOST CRUISE CONTROL. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL. IT IS A QUESTION WHETHER THE BRAKES WILL STOP THE CAR IN TIME SINCE WE NEED TO GO ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. DEALER SAID $4,000+ TO GET IT FIXED, AND IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE AS IT IS. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE IF A LIFE IS LOST OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OCCURS? SHOULDN'T A PART AS SIGNIFICANT AS THE ABS MODULE BE WARRANTED OR RELACED?

THE POWER SEAT-BACK STARTS TO LEAN FORWARD PUSHING THE DRIVER INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER MUST REACH DOWN AND TILT THE SEAT-BACK CONTROL THE OPPOSITE WAY TO OVERIDE MOTION. THERE IS A SHORT DELAY BEFORE THE SEAT-BACK REACTS. IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND ALSO HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED. OCCASIONALLY THE SEAT-BOTTOM WILL ALSO MOVE FORWARD ASPECIALLY WHEN PARKED. WE ARE SCHEDULING SERVICE WITH OUR DEALERSHIP AND WILL PROVIDE UPDATE AFTER SERVICE.
