Hyundai Azera 2006

100k is the suggested mileage. How is the car running? Gas mileage ok? If you are going to keep the car a long time, I would do it now. Otherwise I might forego this expense. I spoke to a mechanic at Hyundai who said the plugs are pretty crudded up at 100k and hard to get out.

Happened to me last August as I was driving. 2007 Ltd. The seat moved forward and seat back pushed me forward, toward steering wheel. Just out of warantee.
Drove like that to the dealer. As I got near the dealer I jammed the switch back and held it a few seconds and I got the seat to go back. Continued in to the dlr - where the top mechanic was still hanging out...(after quitting time)..
They charged 1 hr to diagnose, then another hour to diagnose more... then they 'didn't know' if it was the switch or the position sensor that is integrated into the track.
Finally they (supposedly) comped me the seat track($2500.00 from Hyundai) and charged me about $500 labor to replace the switch AND the track.
Then they said 'btw, the battery needs to be replaced') - so I did that too.

In another of these posts someone said: ' weird electrical stufff? Check the battery') - so it may have been battery related all along.

Just a heads up: Santa brought me a set of Sylvania Silver Star Ultras for my 06 Azera for Xmas. They advertise these lamps as up to 50% brighter than stock. Don't waste your $$$ as they were no better than the 7 year old stock lamps in the Blue Bomber...

I've had the Sylvania Silver Star Ultras before, they are a bit brighter, but not by much and they don't last long either. For the same money you could purchase an HID upgrade kit on Ebay. It's a rather easy DIY job and the light is much brighter and the bulbs last longer too.

#4237 of 4269 Suspension Clunk by allmet33

Mar 27, 2013 (8:54 am)

Okay...I'm proud to say that I've owned my '06 Azera for the last 7 years and put just over 146k miles on it. I've read all the posts about people complaining about the clunk noise, which I didn't experience until about 80-90k miles. All the years of going to the dealer and having them look at it, not one time did a mechanic ever mention anything about the sway bar bushings. My mechanic told me that sway bar bushings can wear out anywhere between 20-80k miles. So...I am going to order them and have him install them and I'll come back and let you guys know if it resolved the infamous clunk noise or not. I tried to find some silicone aftermarket bushings to no avail, so I will just try to order the best ones I can find.

Glad to hear your Azzie is still running strong. I had to sell mine in 2010 before I moved out west. A hard decision. The person I sold it to, still loves it. I bought a new 2011 Sonata. Not an Azera, but I like it. I can't believe how much the Azera's price has increased since '06!
