However, the C.E.L. is known to come on due to a plethora of reasons (even if the gas cap isn't tightened down correctly). Definitely...take it to the dealer and have them check it out. I hope they find out what's wrong and get you back on the road with a smile.

 Don't reckon that there will be any problems as the service writer said that there will be a code set. The shuttle guy drove me home as the dealership is short-handed today account of some supposedly "Irish" types taking off because of the holiday. Supposed to be fixed and ready this afternoon.  We shall see . .

Replying to: snaglepus (Mar 17, 2008 11:23 am) The dealer called and told me to come get the car and that they had to order the part which will take a couple of days depending on where the part is located. They found and cleared the computer stored code (misfire) and the problem which they said was caused by a "weak" oxygen sensor. I was told that driving it while waiting for the part will cause no problems, and I know this is true because this C E L has come and gone three times over the last two months. The last time it happened was the worst however, as the car stayed running on five or less cylinders for approximately forty miles until I reached my destination and turned it off. When restarted immediately, it was running on all six cylinders again . . What a difference! Should this happen to you, shut it down right away and restart and don't drive it while it is running on less than all six! The service writer allowed that I was lucky that mine had not gone into "limp" mode which he said limits you to only 40 mph?  So I'm driving it again while waiting for their call, and it seems to be running better than ever. I'll report further when I get more information. Stay tuned . .

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 18, 2008 7:53 am)  The part came in Thursday but I had to call in and find out that it was in. They didn't bother to call me. Of course, I wanted to take the car in immediately to get the new sensor installed, but no. "There are no appointments available 'til Monday." MONDAY sez I. You must be kidding?  Wouldn't you think that the dealership would schedule an appointment earlier than that when they knew the part would be available on Thursday? When I asked why such a common part is not stocked all the time at the dealership level, I got: "There are more than 100 different oxygen sensors for the different Hyundai models." I don't believe that. Do you? I'm seriously considering going to another dealer, or simply continuing to drive it the way that it is, as this stupid place told me that to do so was fine. They also said that I was lucky that it did not go in limp mode, as the top speed when that happens is only 40 mph. Yeah, right! Fine car, but lousy service.

Replying to: snaglepus (Mar 21, 2008 9:27 am) The O2 sensors seldom go out in newer cars. Also, it is quite true that there are a large no. of O2 sensors for Hyundais (although I don't think it is not 100s, as your tech said). So, it is quite plausible that they didn't have the sensor Yes, the Azera, like all modern luxury cars, can function in the 'limp home' mode where the top speed is restricted to 40mph. It can jump to 'Limp Home' mode when a variety of conditions happen. For ex., when someone tries to steal your car, it would go into this mode & prevent the theif from stealing your car. When this happens, when the owner returns with his legitimate key, inputs the 'secret code' which he has specified, then the car would start, alebit at a lower top speed so that he can drive it to the dealer to get the code reset. It is always a good idea that anytime you see a Check Engine light, take it to the dealer ASAP & not wait. All these modern cars have sensors & intelligent computers that are designed to warn the drivers when any component falls below a specified threshold. It could be as simple as a loose gas cap to a major engine component failure. The lesson is to NEVER to disregard a Check Engine light. I really hope your dealer takes care of your Azzy. It is a good & well engineered car & frankly, has been very very dependable. Good luck buddy! |
