OK, I'm going to tread lightly, because I don't want to initiate a cascade of Azera bashing. So I'm going to do a "compliment sandwich". I love my Azeras. OUR Azeras. You guys will think this is really far out, but I actually bought MY Azera because I drove my wife's maybe two dozen times in two months and the single largest deciding factor was how GOOD my wife's car...

I normally use Mozilla Firefox (latest edition) to do my browsing. I tried creating an account with hmaservice.com and cannot. I then installed Internet Explorer 6.0 and got a little further along, but after checking the "accept" button on the agreement page when I go back to the previous page the browser goes into an hourglass "processing" mode and never finishes. In fact...

Was going to put my rear state plate on and there screws which just keep going around and don't come out....there is a round hard plastic washer behind them. The front ones were easy but can't figure out the back....is there a secret? My next step will be to go back to the dealer, but I'd feel silly if it was something I was doing wrong.....a newbie with no back license

Toyota's are two to three thousand dollars more and worth every dime. My 2004 Solara makes this Azera seem like a piece of **** in every detail.

Noted the Suspension on the Azera ie struts, are awful. The car bounces, makes clunking noise on the 2006 models especially. Maybe not on all onwers of Azeras but on most. This is a problem for someone who pays over 25,000 for a automoblie thinking they have a quality car when it turns out nothing can be done about the noise. The dealers for the most part will not fix the problem but on the...

Looking for those of you who have problems with the Azera front Splash Shield scraping on parking lot barriers and other items which should clear most cars.
Please respond on this thread.

I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem.
When I shift out of Park into either Drive or Reverse, I have to wait about 1 second before applying gas. If I don't wait that 1 second, I get a hefty jerk 'just' as the car starts moving. It's like the engine and transmission are getting synchronized before they find first gear.

I previously wrote that how impressed I was with the Azera but have not been able to find a supply of 2008s with nav. Of the five area dealers, the only available cars were 2007s. I just heard from one of the dealers that there will be no more Azeras. He has one 2007 left and that will be it. No more new shipments. The car is to be replaced with the Genesis that is due out in the next month...

There is no essential difference between the 040, 041 and 640 shocks. The numbers relate to the year of manufacture and not a change in the design of the shocks. The 040's were used in the TSB to eliminate the "noise" caused by the...

My brand new Azera has a suspension noise on the passenger side. It is noticeable
at speeds under 30 mph when going over smaller road bumps. It sounds and feels like a bad strut or shock (hard to tell if it is coming from the front or back).
Anyone else have this?

I just spent a little while reviewing other MY 2006 cars that have been cited as competitors for Azera. Not, of course, for pricing or features, but rather for consumer reviews & reliability. There's a lot of outright lambasting of the Azera lately, and while I understand the frustration and would/will feel it myself given the cost of the appliance and the high expectations for quality in...

TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer.

The now infamous "bounce test" has shown that the Azera's rear suspension characteristics are notably different than the front - firmer and probably just right for all 4 corners on a new car.
Why could that be? Think it's a double-wishbone like the front?
