• 12/27/2023· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  Vehicle Recall issued. No remedy is being provided within a reasonable time.

• 12/26/2021· ENGINE

  The engine failed in this vehicle as I was driving down the road. It immediately started knocking violently without warning. I was left stranded with my 4 children and had to pay for towing. The problem still persists upon starting. The vehicle had been inspected numerous times prior to incident due to a ticking noise upon cranking and I was informed by dealer that this is normal. Upon incident there was no warning lights or inclination that this was going to happen. I have since been told by multiple mechanics that the crank rod is faulty in this 3.3L Hyundai engine and that in order to replace it you must buy a refurbished engine with an aftermarket part due to the faulty manufacturer part.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available

• 12/16/2021· STEERING

  The steering on this vehicle started to have some play in it, including some intense vibrating as I drove down the road. My analysis is that the coupler within the steering motor is made of a flimsy material that breaks down relatively easily. This issue has obviously become clear to Hyundai, as they have created an updated version of the coupler. However, the issue is serious enough that there are many people who have shared about it on forums/YouTube/etc., and is a legitimate danger to drivers, as complete failure of the part could result in failed steering while driving.

  THE STEERING IS MAKING CLICKING SOUND WHEN MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH, THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE RELATING TO THE STEERING MOTOR COUPLING ISSUE. THE NOISE OCCURS RATHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STILL. THE ENGINEER MUST BE RUNNING. THERE'S BEEN SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE EXACT ISSUE ON OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS WITH THE SAME PARTS NUMBER, SO NHTSA, WHY HASN'T NHTSA ISSUE, OR CAUSE TO BE ISSUE, A SAFETY RECALL ON THE AZERA? WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE, INJURIES AND/OR DEATHS? HOW MANY? THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 31,000 MILES.

  OWNER AND INSPECTION MECHANIC NOTICED AND OBSERVED STEERING WHEEL CLUNKING AND BANGING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR MODELS AND USE THE SAME PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE! 2012 HYUNDAI AZERA STEERING COUPLER IS FAULTY AND NEEDED REPLACED PER HYUNDAI DEALER AND WOULD COST US $282.00 PLUS TAX. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE PART WHICH IS AROUND $10.00 BUT WANT A LOT OF MONEY FOR LABOR. THANKFULLY WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WE STILL SHOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO PAY FOR A FAULTY PART. ITS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS THAT USE THE SAME PART. CAR WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE FEELING THE BANGING WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STOP. HAD CAR REPAIRED AND..WOW NO MORE BANGING..VIBRATIONS.

I CAN HELP BUT THINK THAT HER INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS IF THESE HAD WORKED. THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE AT HWYFF AND COUNTY ROAD 170 JOPLIN MO.

• 11/03/2019· AIR BAGS

  I PURCHASED A 2012 HYUANDAI AZERA IN JULY 2012, THE CAR HAS ONLY 30,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. TWO WEEK AGO I NOTICED THE DASH WAS SPLITTING AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIR BAG IS LOCATED (PASSENGER SIDE). TOOK THE CAR TO ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, SERVICE MANAGER SAD THEY WOULDN'T COVER UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, HOWEVER IT WOULD COST $2,600.00 TO REPAIR, THE PART IS $1,600.00 LABOR IS $1,000.00. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THIS DEFECT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE 2008 MODEL OF AZERA, IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE COVERED. WHAT IF THIS AIRBAG DEPLOYS WHILE I'M DRIVING? THERE IS A REASON THIS AREA IS WEAK AND SPLITTING AROUND THE AIRBAG POOR DESIGN OR WORKMANSHIP.....

STEERING NOT SMOOTH BUT ERRATIC. BROUGHT TO DEALER, NAPPLETON HYUNDAI, AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE STEERING ECU UNIT. MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE CAR AS THE CONDITION WAS DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I LEFT CAR AT DEALER WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT ECU UNIT. CAR WAS AT DEALER FOR 8 DAYS AND THEN REPAIRED. REPAIR COST $1100. TTHE CAR HAD 59000 MILES AND WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED ASSISTANCE WITH GOODWILL EXTENSION OF WARRENTY .HYUNDAI WARRENTY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY GOOD WILL ASSISTANCE. I HAVE READ SIMILIAR PROBLEMS WITH 2011 HYUNDAI SONATA WHERE THE ECU WAS NOT PROPERLY SEALED AND MOISTURE GOT INTO THE ECU CAUSING STREEING FAILURE. HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL ON THOSE MODELS WITH THE ECU UNIT DURING THE SAME TIME ERA.

• 10/21/2013· SERVICE BRAKES

  I JUST READ WHERE HYUNDAI'S GENESIS MODEL HAS BRAKE ISSUES. I HAVE A 2012 AZERA THAT HAD BRAKE ISSUES LAST WINTER WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. THE BRAKES GRAB AS SOON I GET THE CAR GOING. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MY CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT AND I PULL TO THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY TO LEAVE IN THE MORNING, THE BRAKES WILL SUDDENLY GRAB AS I DEPRESS THEM. THIS ONLY HAPPENS THE FIRST OR SECOND TIME I BRAKE AND AFTER THE CAR GETS GOING THE BRAKES WORK FINE. I'VE COMPLAINED TO MY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, IT'S PART OF THE VEHICLE'S STARTUP PROCESS WHICH IS CRAZY. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD ANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. THANKS. *TR

• 09/24/2024· SERVICE BRAKES

  Recall for my 2012 hyundai azera number 251 Anti-Brake System (ABS) module that could leak and cause an electrical short that could result in a fire. They want to change a fuse from 40 to 30 amp so when the problem occurs fuse will blow. They should fix the problem replace ABS module. What happens if fuse blows will the replace fuse or fix problem. This has cost me gas money and time. I went to dealership they said I had to make a appointment so now I have to go back for them to replace a fuse this is not right ABS should be fixed. Thank you

• 09/14/2024· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  In 2023, Hyundai approved to pay for repairs of vehicles that suffer premature engine failures due to issues such as low oil, metal debris and/or fire in the engine. These issues were predominately found in the GDI engines in Kia and Hyundai vehicles. This suit failed to take into account the Hyundai Azera model and the 3.3 GDI engine. Same engine maker as the 2.2 and 2.4 models. My car stalled out in the middle of traffic with no warning lights for low oil or engine issues. The car was serviced previously with no coded issues noted accept excessive oil burning which was noted with all Hyundai models from the last decade. The GDI 3.3 has the most noted issues and is the most expensive to replace from the dealer. The engines are failing before the car is broken in the manufacture is making money on the replacement engines from customers who are still trying to pay the car off.

• 09/14/2019· STEERING

  CLINKING AND CLANKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED BY OTHERS. SONATA AND ELANTRA HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT RECALLED FOR AZERA. PROBABLY BECAUSE NOT AS MANY AZERA'S HAVE BEEN SOLD; BUT UNFAIR THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT FIX IT. THE NOISE HAPPENS WHEN MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL, WHEN A BUMP IS HIT WHILE DRIVING. SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAPPENS AT DETAIN SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING.

• 08/24/2022· STEERING

  MDPS coupler failure similar to failure included in warranty extensions for Sonatas/Elantras. Since Azera is not part of the recall, I ended up paying for the repairs. Contacted HyundaiUSA and lodged a complaint (case number - 20194065). I was told that reimbursement will not be given. Hence bringing to your attention to get this resolved. Thanks! Bhuvaneswari

• 08/23/2019· STEERING

  STEERING HAS DEVELOPED DELAY BEFORE ENGAGING TURNING MECHANISM. HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME STEERING PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN ELANTRAS AND SONATAS. THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE REMAINS FOR THE 2012 AZERA. IT IS MY OPINION THAT HYUNDAI SHOULD RECALL AND REPAIR AZERAS AS WELL.

• 08/19/2024· SERVICE BRAKES

  This recall on the anti-lock brake system was initiated 11 months ago. I brought the Azera into the dealer 2 months ago and they said they had to order parts. I called today and spoke to the parts department. He said he is restricted from ordering the correct part and has no idea when he will be able to order it. Why is Hyundai stalling with this recall?

• 08/19/2018· STEERING

  MY AZERA IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THE STEERING COUPLER IS WORN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SEVERAL MODELS AND MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY VEHICLE (ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE) IS NOT ONE OF THE VEHICLES. HYUNDAI SHOULD REPAIR THE WORN STEERING COUPLER WITH NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER OR AT LEAST DISCOUNT THE COST OF REPAIR FROM THE OUTRAGEOUS $500.00 PRICE QUOTED TO ME. THE PART IS LESS THAN $20.00 TO PURCHASE. MY STEERING COLUMN CLUNKS OVER BUMPS AND VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES/HOUR.

• 08/17/2020· STEERING

• 07/03/2019· STEERING

  THERE IS 'SLOP' OR 'PLAY' DEVELOPING IN THE STEERING. YOU CAN MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT WITHOUT IT ENGAGING THE STEERING. WHILE DRIVING, YOU MUST MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL FARTHER TO CHANGE DIRECTION. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A DEFECTIVE STEERING COLUMN COUPLER BY AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. OTHER HYUNDAI'S HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART BUT NOT THE AZERA AND THEY ARE THE SAME PART DOING THE SAME FUNCTION AND FAILING THE SAME WAY. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO COVER ALL THEIR MODELS WITH THIS SAME PART. IT CAN BE FELT FAILING WHILE SITTING STILL AND MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL AND IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

• 06/27/2019· STEERING

  THE STEERING WHEEL "CLANKS" WHEN MOVING SIDE TO SIDE WHILE SETTING STILL. UPON RESEARCH, AND TALKING TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT MY HYUNDAI DEALER, IT'S THE "STEERING COUPLER". I WAS TOLD THAT THE OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WERE UNDER A "RECALL", BUT NOT THE AZERAS??

  THE FLEXIBLE STEERING COUPLING FAILED IN OUR 2012 AZERA AFTER 67,000 MILES DRIVEN. STEERING WHEEL WOULD MAKE A CLUNKING SOUND AND WOULDN'T BE AS RESPONSIVE AS NORMAL. LEARNED THIS WAS THE SAME EXACT PART THAT ALSO FAILED IN THE HYUNDAI SONATA AND ELANTRA; WHICH HAD RECALLS TO FIX THE ISSUE. DUE TO LOW SALES VOLUME OF THE AZERA, IT IS MY SPECULATION IT DIDN'T REACH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS TO GET ATTENTION. HOWEVER, THE PART AND THE PART FAILURE IS THE SAME. *TR

• 05/27/2021· STEERING

  The steering malfunctioned. When we tried to turn the wheel the it would slip and the car would not respond or suddenly would. It was very scary because the car could not be steered properly. We took it to the dealer who said the Steering Coupler had failed and needed to be replaced. This component has been recalled and/or warranty extended to cover in other Hyundai models for the same reason but it has not yet been recalled in the Azera. We discussed this with Hyundai Customer Service who confirmed. It was repaired by Hyundai of South Brunswick NJ for $452.34. There is a Technical Service Bulletin describing the problem. This is a common, dangerous Azera failure and should be remedied as it has been for other models.
