Replying to: boltguy (Jul 13, 2008 4:03 pm)  The TSB that I am refering to is 08-SS-003 08-SS-003 MARCH, 2008 ALL TIRE AND WHEEL VIBRATION AND RADIAL FORCE VARIATION THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TSB# 06-50-013 TO INCLUDE 2008 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. Yes, there was indeed an earlier TSB, but note that this later one supersedes it!  We do know that many service department personel barely know how to read, and 'couldn't care less' about what the customer is complaining about.  When he goes to his dealer and quotes that TSB, he will most likely get some results. If he should not get favorable results, he can and I hope will complain to the Hyundai at the corporate level.

Replying to: boltguy (Jul 13, 2008 5:58 pm) No! What you are saying is contradictory. You are saying that you do not think that Hyundai believes that there is a specific issue with this problem that many, not only Azera owners are experiencing, but other models as well. I ask you: Why would Hyundai have issued the TSB and even help with the pricing of the Hunter GSP9700 if they did not want the dealers to fix the problem? Does that make sense?  I know of at least one person who had been back to his dealer many times with this same problem and the dealer had done everything but use the GSP9700. The dealer changed wheels, tires and rebalanced different wheels and tire combinations but the problem continued. As soon as the owner brought in that TSB and the dealer followed the instructions to the letter, no more problems.

Replying to: revj (Jul 14, 2008 3:21 pm) Who will take your car to the Chevy dealership, you or your Hyundai dealer? Instruct whoever that you insist that the tech who is the system operator list the "Road Force' number readings for each individual wheel. This is the key to whether or not your problem will be corrected. These road force reading must be below a certain number of pounds, the lower the better. I have read that this reading must be 15 pounds or less. I wish you would take the time to read up on the Hunter site as to what happens or needs to happen when this system is used. Again, those road force readings must be below a certain number of pounds or the point of the whole proceedure is for nothing. When they find the bad wheel or wheels, what did the tech do to correct the problem, and above all else, was it fixed? In many cases, it has been reported that no matter what the tech tried, there was no way to correct the problem without those bad Michelins being replaced. Yes, bad tires, and Michelin does know about this and Michelin is replacing those tires that were evidently from a bad batch. Good luck.

Replying to: revj (Jul 14, 2008 3:21 pm) So did you in fact keep your appointment and take it in to the Cheby dealer and did they, using their Hunter GSP9700 balancing system, correct your problem?

Replying to: snaglepus (Jul 17, 2008 8:29 am) For contrast, I drove my 2002 Stratus R/T (not known for a smooth ride) and our 2001 Town and Country Van. The Azera is smoother, except for a couple of speeds where it just seems to be uneasy. It seems I read somewhere that it might be an issue where the Tranny bolts to the engine. Whatever it is, it is still there. I have no idea as to what to do next. Any advice would be appreciated. |

Just purchased a 2008 azera limited with the ultimate nav pkg. Have read a lot of info about front end problems. My azera was built on 12/21/07. This appears to have some significance as to the struts, and also ride characteristics. Just purchased rubber mats in a beautiful gray (weathertech) and had the windows tinted for the HOT FLORIDA sun. It looks great. I only have 300 miles on it. Great ride so far. Would appreciate any tips on what problems , if any, that I should beware of. Thanks in advance for any info.
