2008 HYUNDAI AZERA Complaints

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. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT MOVED FORWARD, PUSHING THE CONTACT INTO THE STEERING WHEEL WHERE SHE BECAME TRAPPED.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON MY SPEED DROPPED FROM 50 MPH TO ABOUT 10MPH. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED SOME 43 MILES TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR HAD FAILED. THIS FAILURE, HAD IT OCURRED ON A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES REARENDING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN REDUCTION IN SPEED. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR IS NOT UNCOMMON ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES.

POWER DRIVER SEAT MOVED ON ITS OWN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS TO ITS FULL REAR POSITION, SEAT BACK MOVED TO ALMOST FULL RECLINE, AND SEAT HEIGHT WENT TO LOWEST POSITION. THIS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED WITH IGNITION OFF AND WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING OPERATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE BEING OPERATED I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE AND HAD TO STOP VEHICLE AND MANUALLY RESET SEAT CONTROLS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND I HAD TO MANEUVER 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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES.

ON JULY 27, 2010 THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED; YET, THE FAILURE WASN'T CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TWICE. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,068 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,100.

1. WHEN I DROVE THE CAR, THE POWER SEAT SOMETIMES AUTOMATICALLY WENT BACK TO THE END. AND, I ALMOST CAN'T HIT THE BRAKE. (I'M SHORT AND I ALWAYS PULL THE SEAT TO FRONT.) AFTER HAVING THIS ISSUE, I CAN'T PULL POWER SEAT TO FORWARD ANY MORE. BUT, AFTER FEW TIMES OF DRIVING, THEN, I CAN PULL THE SEAT TO FRONT. THEN, IT HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER FEW DRIVES. 2. IT HAPPENS EVERY TWO OR THREE TIMES WHEN I DROVE THE CAR. 3. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRACK WAS REPLACED. BUT, THE CAR STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AND, I'M WAITING FOR ANOTHER PART (NOT SURE WHICH PART) TO REPLACE. *TR
