Replying to: njalan (Jun 27, 2008 8:44 am) Now to say that I have had different vechiles in recent years might be a under statement. 2002 F150 Harley Davidson Supercharged, 1996 Impala SS Supercharged [my play toy] 2005 Magnum RT, 2006 Caddie SRX, & 2006 Trailblazer SS [395HP]. Well I love my Azera,[power,comfort & style]. Well equipped & price after $5,000. factory rebate was great .  I agree on the last statement the prev. posted. If you all the bells etc. with good power & mileage then Azera LTD got it all[well almost all].

The woodgrain steering wheel and the door pulls have chipping easily and need repair just after one year or so.  I need all the help/advice I can get on the Azera Ltd with nav and ultimate package. |

Replying to: marcogallo1986 (Jul 02, 2008 6:34 am) One word of warning. I think my 2008 has the front end shudder. You can feel it around 40 and again around 70. I have increased tire pressure and it helped, but didn't eliminate it. From what I am reading, Hyundai has yet to find a way to address this and service managers simply say "I don't feel it". Mine has already been back for tire alancing - no change. When the dealership called for their sales experience survey, I informed them of this problem and never received a follow up call. The salesman called today to get the number of a prospective friend and customer. I shared the problem with him and he could not have been less interested. I called the friend/prospective buyer and warned him. No sese in two of us being carsick due to the vibration that no one else can feel. I have 1400 miles on the car and am already wondering how long it will be before I can trade it in. |

I have just purchased a 2008 Azera. I love the car except it has the front end shudder/shimmy. It appears around 40 mph and 70 mph. I have had the tires rebalanced. I have increased tire pressure. The shudder/shimmy is subtle, but it is definitely there. From what I have read, I am in for several visits with service managers saying it is my imagination and that the car is fine. If anyone has advice to help me avoid regular visits to the dealership (without any resolution) I would greatly appreciate it. I

Replying to: revj (Jul 12, 2008 9:22 am) My question mark key has suddenly quick working. Back to bearings. Way back in another lifetime when growing up and learning cars I discovered the wheel bearings need to be properly adjusted to avoid shudders, shakes and shimmies as well as premature failure. They cannot be just installed and tightened down. I have seen youngsters over tighten and other times just tighten enough to take up the slack and pin it in place. They ought to be tighten while rotating the wheel and then backed off to the next available cotter key hole and rechecked for looseness. Do you do your own maintenance or know someone who can jack up the front and check the bearings. We're over 40,000 miles on our Azera and love it. This last week the plastic covering under the drivers side seat under the car, about 12 inches wide by 36 inches long, broke and dealer replaced it in less than an hour after the call to them. No hassle, no charge. The 2 screw holding the leading edge broke away around the holes. That was Groppetti Hyundai in Visalia, Ca. We'll buy another Azera when the time comes. Vick |

Replying to: revj (Jul 12, 2008 9:22 am) There is TSB addressing this problem. Insist that your service writer look it up and if he can't be bothered, go to the service manager and on up the line until you get satisfaction.
