DRIVERS POWERSEAT BACK TILTS FORWARD PINNING DRIVER TO STEERING WHEEL,THIS HAPPENS ON IT"S OWN, YOU HAVE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD TO REPOSITION SEATBACK! VERY DANGEROUS,DRIVER IS PINNED TO STEERING WHEEL. *TR

HORN FAILED TO OPERATE AN AUDIBLE SOUND WHEN HONKING AT A NEIGHBOR. MAYBE THIS WAS FIRST TIME I WANTED OR NEEDED TO USE THE HORN. CAR NOT DRIVEN MUCH. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH HORNS. *TR

REAR SUNSHADE STUCK MID-WAY THROUGH CYCLE. POSITION OF THICK RETAINING PLASTIC SEVERELY OBSTRUCTS DRIVER'S VIEW. BUTTON UNRESPONSIVE, BUT CAN HEAR MOTOR GRINDING WHENEVER PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE (REAR SUNSHADE DOES NOT MOVE AND STUCK IN THIS POSITION). FURTHERMORE, ONCE PARKED AND OFF THE ROAD, NO AMOUNT OF MANUAL FORCE RETRACTS THE SUNSHADE INTO ITS RETRACTED POSITION. DRIVER MUST CONTINUE DRIVING IN THIS PRECARIOUS AND LIMITED-VIEW SCENARIO. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SEAT MOVES ITSELF FORWARD AND UP AND PINS THE DRIVER INTO STEERING WHEEL, WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH. YOU MUST PULL OVER TURN OFF THE CAR TO RE-SET THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITHIN 4 MILES. THE CAR IS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 34,400 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NOW FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON-LINE, ONCE I GOT HOME. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AT 800-633-5151, AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

WE HAVE A CRACK ON OUR DASH BOARD THAT HAS INCREASED AROUND THE AIR BAG ENCLOSURE. VERY CONCERN THIS WILL POP OUT WITH NO WARNING. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARDER TO PUSH DOWN ON. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR LIT. TOOK IT TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI REPAIR CENTER BUT THEY REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT AS I DID NOT HAVE "AN APPOINTMENT" AND WAS ASKED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND COME BACK. TOOK IT TO A NEARBY REPAIR STATION (PEPBOYS) WHO READ THE ERROR AS A FAULTY BRAKE A/B SWITCH BUT COULD NOT RECTIFY IT AS THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR CENTER. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH AND ADVISED ON THE RECALL. CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ON THE CLAIM AS THE EXACT VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE 2007 AZERA HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR, UNIVERSAL NISSAN AND HYUNDAI THEY DID NOT HAVE AN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD OVER THE AIRBAG. THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CALL HYUNDAI, I DID. I GOT THE SAME ROUND A ROUND, THEY GAVE ME CASE # 5235732. I'VE SEEN ON THE INTERNET MANY MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THEIR EMAILS FROM MECHANICS AND HYUNDAI PERSONNEL ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE CRACK OVER THE AIRBAG AND THAT DID HAVE THEIR DASHBOARDS EXCHANGED. IF EVER I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY AND SOMEONE IS INJURED OR DIES SOME ONE WILL ANSWER FOR IT. *TR
