Well... It appears I should apologize to Hyundai... and I will. It turns out it was the Winter floormat.. but found it after 4 events the same day and after the dealer went thru the car with a fine tooth comb... I purchased Weathertech Winter Mat's... Nice and Heavy Rubber Mat's.. Turns out that the Azera's accelerator peddle is canterlevered and the bottom of the peddle comes within maybe 3/8" to the floor under Hard acceleration.. Well if the Mat moves just a little... The peddle rides over the edge of the Mat and can't return !! It stays floored !! Hyundai may want to think about slightly more clearence... However I will be modifiying the Mat this weekend to use the Normal Mat anchors .. Thanks for the comments and feedback.. Rich

The car kept "blasting off." In the haste of my approach to a red traffic light, I danced around on the pedals and geared to neutral. This is a major and dangerous issue I hope nobody else has to experience. I remember years ago that Volvo had a recall on cars doing this. I vaguely recollect what incident prompted the recall but I think an accident was on the news due to a Volvo flying across a parking lot due to a stuck gas pedal. I'll be going in to have the car checked this weekend. |

Replying to: richlieb (Mar 27, 2008 5:14 pm) I'm curious as to which Weather Tech mats did you buy. I bought a set directly from WeatherTech's site. The ones I have are cut to fit Azera. It doesn't get under the pedals & there isn't much chance of them getting stuck there. Did you happen to buy WeatherTech's generic mats? I would advice you to get vehicle-specific ones. Another suggestion I would give is to raise the Pedals if you have the Power Pedals (comes with Limited Ultimate package). Raise the pedals so that they're a little more above the floor.

We purchased a 2007 Azera in Oct. 07 and have experienced a few minor problems. The right drivers light burnt out after only 200 miles but the dealer mailed us a new bulb and we had it replaced by our local dealer. Just last week while driving the windshield developed a stress crack on the passenger side lower area below wiper arm. We took it to the local dealer and they are attempting to have a warranty issue resolved on this. Yesterday while washing the car which we never let get dirty we found small cracks on both rear quarter panels where the rear doors meet the panel. Has any one seen or heard of this problem. Thanks

Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 07, 2008 6:06 am) Regarding the cracks in the fenders at the lower portion of the rear doors it is in the clear plastic coating they have installed at the factory. It appears that the curve was too tight and caused the plastic to crack. No biggie as weare going to have them remved and intall a different type of clear protection in that area.

Replying to: rmcbain (Apr 07, 2008 8:39 am) Far be it for me to think that someone would spend anywhere between $25-30K for a car and go out and mess it up like that. I would never think that. As far as the plastic coating, I know some cars have it and I'm sitting here actually trying to remember if my Azera has it or not. I have to wait till I get home to check to be sure. However, if I can't recall and it is there...must be a good thing that I don't see it, right?  I've heard of the 3M clear coating that is out now. Some folks have done it with success, some have not been so happy with it. All I can say is good luck with it. |
