for my check engine light to come on! default/clap.gif' 'clap.gif' /> It happened on the way home from work a few minutes ago. Anybody else have the dreaded heart stopping, anxiety producing check engine light yet?

All in the same week and out of town.
Monday No Air, called a nearby dealer confirmed that the air conditioner is not working and said he could set-up an appointment next week.
Weds. Sun shade in back window makes grinding noise when I back up. Now it's stuck in the up position.
Fri. ABS and the ESC light came on.
Got home Friday and was able to get to me local dealer. ...

In reading most of the posts dealing with tire suspensions and alignment it sounds as if most people who have thier alignment check are off. I have rear tire wear and attached the photos to show. How many of you Azera owners have looked to see if your rear tires are tilted inward? I never noticed it because my car doesn't pull or wander on the road. Look to see if your rear wheels are...

Found this on a Santa Fe thread.

Go down to the 13th post.

I wonder if the Azera has a similiar problem regarding the clunking sound.

Just a shot in the dark.

My 07 Azera (Bought in July 07, manufactured April 07), A/C sucks! We have it on full blast, at only 85 degrees outside, and it takes forever to cool down, and even then, it never gets cold. My 04 sonata will chase you out of the car. I figured it wasn't charged properly with refrigerant. I want to recharge it myself with one of the kits you can buy, but I don't know what type they...

This am I was watching Autoline LA an the interviewer McElroy was visiting with Hyundai. I saw some very nice pictures of the Genesis & Sonata, the Genesis looked much better than what I saw on spy photos, they talked about the Sonata, Genesis and Elantra, but not one word was uttered about the Azera. Talk about a death wish on this fine automobile, I really don't know what they are...

We recently purchased a Nissan Rogue. On one of the Rogue forums there was a post indicating that H+R had firmer replacement springs for the vehicle. I went online at 'hrsprings.com' and discovered they make tuner springs for the Azera. $349 for a set of four. Unfortunately for me, there is no distributor here in Iowa. Talked to them on the phone (888 8278881) and they said the...

I had to replace my right front tire because it was makeing so much noise. I thought I had a wheel bearing going on my right rear so I moved the tire to the front and the sound went with it. The tire is cupped bad (pre-wreck tire) default/grin.gif' 'grin.gif' /> Had the car aligned and it was...

I'll try to make this short and sweet. I posted yesterday regarding the 06 Azera and how I was shocked at the gas mileage appx. 14-16 combined.
We had told the salesman we were looking for something used for everyday errands to run around in when the kids weren't always with us because the gas in our Yukon was killing us but that we were keeping the Yukon for family trips and to tow...

Okay, so making this kind of comparison might strike some of you as slightly blasphemous, but I took one of my Jags to the dealer today to have them look at the diff and was given a loaner to drive home... a rental fleet '07 Impala LS with 4000 miles on it. I spent about 30 miles in it, some city some highway, in rush-hour traffic. It may be somewhat regrettable, but I think some points of...

I'm considering buying a 2008 Azera with nav. Everything I read says it has "spoken audio directions". That could mean that it simply says "turn left in 500 feet". Does it have text to speech so that it also says street names?

Well, this is a class act - although I had to buy two Azeras to get one of these little pamphlets, I got this really nice mailer in the mail today, just a courtesy letter and cards from "my dealer and hyundai usa".

I use a silver permanent marker I got from Staples... a couple of bucks. Now when I need wipers...

Hey i have an 08 Azera LTD with Factory NAV. Does anyone know how to hack the dvd so it will play when the car is running. Also anyone with knowledge of any upgrades for that head unit like rear view cameras , plus, has anyone got the Blueconnect Bluetooth kit yet my dealer says it not shipping

OK....I think my Azera has got it out for me. I drove it all over yesterday and put gas in it for the week. I get up this morning to go to work and it is TOTALY dead....not even a dash light. Checked everything...nothing left on...nothing open. Been on charger all day. Glad I have my truck for backup. What the heck is wrong with her ? ...What did I do ? ...

I just purchased an 07 Azera SE with the standard CD sound system. I am going to install an in-line FM modulator so I can use my MP3 player in the car.
Before I go prying around and brake something, I was wondering how to go about removing the dash trim so I can remove the radio? I did a search and didn't find any procedure listed. Can anybody help me out? Thanks.

Hi,
On my way to buy either a Maxima or M35, I was encouraged to stop by and see/test drive an Azera. My wife and I walked away more than impressed. Unfortunately all the local dealers are out of stock on the Limited with nav. and it will be some weeks before any are available. I would like to get some feedback from forum members who are currently using the model with nav and bluetooth.

During coasting, (foot off the gas paddle) from 40-60 mph the RPMs stabilizes at 1100RPMs then feels like the car down shifts and RPMs rises 200-250 RPMs. The car is still in the same gear. This happens two to three times before actually down shifting to a lower gear. Has anyone noticed this? Is it normal?
This is happening in fourth ands fifth gears. I'm think about taking it to...

My Azera door speaker covers are covered in cloth and my car happens to have a beige interior. As hard as I try, I get the odd foot scuff mark on the cloth.

Does anyone have have comments if I have any options to replace these cloth covers or how I can get the black scuff marks off of the...

This is off topic for this forum but I believe it is non the less important to all automobile owners. Where does your gas come from

They want to find out just how much we are willing to pay.

hey guys. how is the sound quality on upgraded 12 speaker 605watt system?
new genesis will have lexicon discrete sound system with 500+ system.

do you guys think azera's 605 watt system is as good(if not better) as genesis?

My wife and I live in the country with gravel roads. Also our farm to market roads are rough and have lots of uneven surfaces due to the expansion/contraction factor of the clay soil in our area. As a result the key fob on our Azera whacks the dash board and the steering column as we drive along. I found some felt pads at Home Depot which are 4 X 6 inches and about 3/16 inches thick with an...

With the exception of a couple of posts last month, business and domestic demands have kept me away from this board for a while. To recap what brought me here back in late 2006, I had purchased a 2007 Ultimate Limited for my wife’s birthday in October after searching the sparse local 07 inventory for a pearl white with gray interior. I secured the purchase by phone from a dealer about sixty...

My 07 Santa Fe has a dashboard that isn't angled as much as the Azera so there is no sun glare on it. Also, the blue lighting is bright enough to see the instrumentation even in extreme sun light.

Not so with the Azera. The pale green lighting doesn't seem to provide enough light to see the instrumentation in the middle of the dash very well, during very bright days. It's...

is with that "wat wat" post. Is it a scam or do we really all have a computer virus now.

It is time to clean the leather seats on our new Azera at the 2700 mile mark. I am leaning toward using Lexol products as I have heard them recommended for leather in other cars.

What are your experiences?

In case you're not already sick to death of them, here are a few pics I took this weekend testing out my new wide-angle camera. Some wide shots & some details. Thor first, Soo-Dae next. They're dirty cars... but maybe caught a few cool accents & guide lines.

Can any of you point me in the right direction for a listing of the programable features? I'd like details on settings such as auto lock. Mirror down on reverse would be nice along with any other whistles.

Hi, We just bought an 06 Azera Limited, mint condition with 49,000 miles ($15,500.) This is our first ever "car" purchase having only owned Ford p/u, GMC Suburbans and a Yukon. I think we're going to love having a car but a stressful decision nonetheless. I drove the car 59 miles today and checked the Average Fuel Consumption gauge which read 15mpg. Well, we've never had a...

Last week while waiting in the Azzie,my Best beloved came out of the store with purchases and I pushed the unlock button for the doors. The drivers side rear door failed to unlock. Went to the dealer on the following Monday and they determined it was a faulty actuator switch. It had to be ordered and arrived the following Monday. Had it installed today. They said it would take 45 minutes to 1...

I'd love to hear your impressions of the suspension behavior, especially if you've also driven an '06 or '07 for comparison.

I am new to this forum as I just stumbled upon it yesterday.

I am looking for information on any company that provides a direct harness for an I-Pod port. I know that several companies have this for other cars, but I have yet to find one for Hyundai, specifically the Azera. I have found in line FM Modulators, but would rather have a direct connection if possible. I don't have a...

So I have my Azera sitting in the parking lot today at work and I put the rear shade up and buzzzzzz it goes up no problem. ( 80 degrees today ) I get off work and start backing out of my parking spot and ......nothing.

Hi,

I have a 2006 Azera Limited with the ultimate package and has around 21k miles. Around 17k miles, I started to noticed that there was a slight shifting (maybe 1/8") of the driver seat when the car came to a stop. The movement is forward on stops and occasionally backward on moderate acceleration forward. I am a fairly gentle driver as I don't slam on brakes or accelerate...

Yesterday my son and I were cruising along when we suddenly heard a terrible rubbing noise:o. It sounded like the tire was rubbing the wheel well. It turned out to be a rather large plastic shield looking thingy which had come loose and was scraping the road. I pulled into a parking lot where my son was able to reach under the car and "press" it back into place after which we drove...

I am 6' 3" tall and it would help if the front seat could go back another 2 or 3 inches. Does anyone have any ideas on how this might be achieved or even if it is possible?

It still feels odd to complain about minor things but again, the car is new, so I expect things to be pretty well sorted... and here it comes:

When I turn off the environmental controls entirely (system "off"), the system continues to blow air into the cabin, through the vents, as if it was on, but set very low. If it's all the way cold when you turn it off, it continues...

The dealer replaced the 041 struts with 040's a while back, but not as much improvement as I had hoped for. Took the covers off today and noticed the below.
The center post has a nut with a green mark on one side.
The round top panel has two green lines.
One of the three posts on the sides has a green dot in the center.
Do these marks mean anything?
Should they all...

This is stupid but im going to ask. Does the ultimate package automatically come with the twelve speaker,external amp 615 watt stereo? I bought an 08 and didnt really look till today. I only find ten speakers & no external amp.maybe the dealer got me, maybe im overlooking something. Any advise would be great. thanks.

Found this on the web take a look!

This is a rather broad topic but consider it a general discussion. The Azera may be too young to provide any meaningful responses, but I wonder, has anyone, especially folks who use more miles / drive harder, gotten any indication of design flaws in the car? I'm not just talking about something that was an unusual and rare failure on YOUR car, especially of a wear part; I'm talking about...

I was just reading around on hmaservice.com this morning (and watching the training slideshow for CVVT system, which is neat) - and found this:

"The website was updated on March 28, 2008 to add the 2009 Azera (TG) Shop Manual and ETM (Electrical Troubleshooting Manual)."
