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...

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...

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.

The regional service manager called with the following information. He contacted corporate HQ and the technical departments to get the information.
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...

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I am wanting to pick up a new daily driver and have narrowed down my choices to the 2009 Azera Limited & 2009 Sonata Limited. My sensible side is telling me to go with the Sonata. It's approx. $3500-$4k cheaper, yet has most of the features available on the Azera and the interior is greatly improved to the point where...

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...

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.
