#670 of 689 Azera Timing Chain Tensiner by rmcbain Nov 27, 2008 (12:08 pm)
Hi: Has anyone had to have the timing chain tensioner replaced in their Azera yet? We have only 7000 Miles on ours and it rattles like a diesel when starting after a few hours. We spoke with the dealership and they said they had replaced the Sonata timing chain tensioner but were not aware of the trouble in the Azera models. Also the dash has started to crack on the passenger side at the airbag area. Replies to this message: cobrazera (Nov 28, 2008 3:33 am)

Replying to: rmcbain (Nov 27, 2008 12:08 pm) There was a recall on early Azeras for a cam tensioner problem, something about a ratchet mechanism that held the tensioner in position when the car was shut off. A TSB was involved - if your Azera only has 7K miles, though, I assume it's a later version. Your dealerership must not have sold any '06 Azeras if they never heard of it. My Azera does some rattling for a couple miles on cold starts ( more noticeable now that winter is here ) and I'm assuming that it's piston slap. I say that because the sound is the same as my 2001 Tahoe made under the same conditions. That car had buyers up in arms for supposed reduced resale value due to piston slap. I never got the Tahoe fixed, it was a very minor inconvenience which did not affect reliability or longevity of the engine. So I'm not very concerned about my Azera. I do take it easy for the first few miles after a cold start, though - something which I do with any car, whether it has piston slap or not...Richard
#673 of 689 All weather floor mats by psu3 Nov 28, 2008 (8:50 am)
Hi all,   Shortly after purchasing the car I got the OEM rubber floormats (set of four) for $38.   They match the carpet mats perfectly. Clear rubber allows the carpet color to show. Nubbed backing prevents them from moving. They now are around $45. Not sure how these prices compare to others. Here's the site.   http://www.car-truck-accessories.com/   psu

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 17, 2006 10:42 am) I have an 06 Azera and we are having the exact same problem you are describing in reference to the headlights flickering. Of course the dealer says since they don't flicker when they drive the car they can't fix the problem. Can you please tell me if you have gotten yours fixed and if so what was the problem. Thanks.

#675 of 689 Headlights Flickering by jeff072 Dec 13, 2008 (2:50 pm)
Has anyone had a problem with Azera headlights flickering especially when just starting off and slowing to a stop? It is driving us nuts and of course the dealer says they can't get the lights to flicker when they drive the car so they can't fix it. I have found a few references to the problem on line but no answers on how to fix it. No other lights on the car flicker it seems to be limited to just the headlights.

Replying to: jeff072 (Dec 13, 2008 2:50 pm) I too have had this problem and still do. The headlights dim down when the RPM's reach 1000. Have no idea why but have learned to live with it. Replies to this message: donna388 (Dec 14, 2008 7:11 pm) newguy6 (Dec 15, 2008 12:01 pm)

Replying to: newguy6 (Dec 14, 2008 10:17 am)   There is no need to have to "live with it!"   Go to your dealer. There is a TSB covering the problem. Make 'em find the TSB and fix the problem.   Replies to this message: newguy6 (Dec 15, 2008 12:01 pm)

Replying to: jeff072 (Dec 13, 2008 2:44 pm) Jeff072...I did have this problem and it only happened when I would be coming to a stop, it never happened at speed or while accelerating. Recently, I changed my OEM battery and since then...I haven't had the problem. You may want to inquire about a TSB concerning the headlight dimming issue as I know a few folks have posted about it and it was an issue with the grounding of their electrical system. You may want to go with the new battery anyway as I've been hearing a lot of folks talking about issues with the OEM battery anyway. Like I said earlier, ever since changing mine...the dimming issue has gone away. Well...except for when I play my stereo too loudly, then the headlights dim with the bass.   Good luck and let me know if any of this has proven helpful for you.   Mike

Replying to: donna388 (Dec 14, 2008 7:11 pm) Thanks for the info, I'll have them check into it at my next service. I'll post the results.
