TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WOULD ONLY ILLUMINATE UP TO 5 FEET AHEAD OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE LIGHTS FOUR TIMES TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08E021000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS).

I OWN A 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA AND I HAVE BEEN SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHTS. THEY DO NOT PROJECT OUT PROPERLY. THERE IS A VERY, VERY NOTICEABLE SHADOW CAUSING A TOTALLY UNLIT PART OF THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN OVER 23 COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR MODEL AND MAKE OF CAR ON ONE SITE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO ELIMINATE THIS VISION PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I FEAR THERE WILL BE MANY MORE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE DEALERS AND HYUNDAI ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO CORRECT IT. *TR

HYUNDAI HAS AN ISSUE WITH FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS WHICH CAUSES THE CAR'S ENGINE TO STUMBLE AND THEN SWITCH INTO "LIMP HOME" MODE. THIS MODE ONLY ALLOWS A TOP SPEED OF 20MPH WITH VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION POWER. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, SUCH AS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO CRASHES, AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO. CURRENTLY, HYUNDAI HAS ISSUED TSB 09-FL-003-2, BUT WILL ONLY COVER THE REPAIR COSTS IF THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. BEING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE SENSORS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA ON ROUTE 81 SOUTH THE DRIVERS SEAT STARTED MOVING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN. I COULD NOT STOP IT. THE SEAT PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL.ALSO THE BACK OF THE SEAT ALSO MOVE FORWARD AND ESSENTIALLY PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT GET THE SEAT TO GO BACK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF. I GOT THE SEAT TO RESET AND IT DID THE SAME THING A COUPLE MINUTES LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY THE FACT THAT I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AVOIDED A CATASTROPHIC HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. FUCCILLO HYUNDAI OF SYRACUSE REPLACED THE SWITCH AND CHARGED US $ 202.56 I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND REPORTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND REQUESTED REIMBURSEMENT THEY REFUSED SAYING THE CAR HAD 109000 MILES ON IT; I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A LATENT SAFETY DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE.YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT I COULD NOT STOP THE SEAT FROM MOVING NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO ACTIVATE SWITCH. THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE SEAT FROM PINNING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TO REMOVE THE FUSE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY2006 HYUNDAI AZERA FOR OVER 3 YEARS,AND HAVE COMPLAINED REGULARLY TO BOTH THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI THAT THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE A SAFETY PROBLEM. THEY FAIL TO THROW ENOUGH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ENOUGH OF THE ROADWAY AHEAD TO SEE SAFELY. 3 YEARS AGO THE DEALER CHECKED THE ALIGNMENT,AND SAID THEY WERE ADJUSTED TO THE MFG. SPEC'S, AND COULDN'T BE IMPROVED ON. TODAY HYUNDAI TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT DEAL WITH IT. THE DEALER WILL NOT DEAL WITH IT EITHER. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER NEWER MODEL AZERA, THAT HAS GREAT LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR, AND THE MGR. NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF 2006 AZERA'S WHO HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. I USE MY HI-BEAMS WHEN I CAN, BUT NORMALLY I CANNOT DRIVE WITH THEM ON WITH ANY TRAFFIC. THERE ARE SEVERAL HYUNDAI OWNER WEBSITES, ALL OF WHICH DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY CANNOT GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM HYUNDAI TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
