dfenn1,
 
My 07 Azera (600 miles) seems to do the same thing. It can be a little bit disconcerting. Is this the adaptive learning others were mentioning?

There have been numerous posts relating to the Azera transmission's ( and from what I gather, many other of the newer " adaptive " trannies ) delay in downshifting.
It apparently is designed to hold higher gears for better fuel economy. I have had similar problems when merging onto the freeway. The fix for me has been to use the autoshift feature in that situation and drop down a couple gears manually, then go back to auto when the merge is complete.
I don't feel this should be necessary, but it is.
As far as others saying that I need to " hotrod " the car for awhile to teach it to downshift more readily - no thanks, I'll just try to anticipate needing a downshift and do it manually.

This is some good info to have. I've been driving my '07 Azera for about 7 months now and just yesterday had a very alarming experience. I needed to accelerate from a stop quickly to avoid a traffic situation. Upon starting out the car rapidly accelerated in 1st gear, but then seemed to go into a dead zone which seemed to last forever before finally upshifting into second and continuing on.
 
Since then, I've tried moving it into manual shifting and changing gears. The tranny still seems to float before making the shift from 1st into 2nd. Anybody have any thoughts?

Good news -- There is a TSB to address this. The # is; 07-40-002 it was issued in February 2007. It covers a slow 1 - 2 shift under WOT (Wide Open Throttle). Your dealer can simply reprogram the tranyy for you so that the 1 - 2 shift happens a little quicker. If you do not already have an account at hmaservice.com, sign up for one. This way you can get a ton of info on your car from Hyundai.

You are both right and wrong, sort of!
 
If you are facing uphill and wish for your Azera to not roll backwards, simply use the
SHIFTRONIC feature and manually shift into "2" and release the brakes, and
you will feel the car start to move backwards, and then stop rather abruptly.
Works like a charm.
  
 
Don't forget to manually downshift back to "1" when you want to start uphill unless the incline is not
too steep. You'll be able to tell if you need to go down to "1" when your car seems to be straining.
It takes a fairly steep incline to make our cars strain when starting off from rest in second gear.
I do start most of the time this way because I think it helps a little with fuel economy.
That's unless some young hot-rodder thinks he's got a fast car.
 
I don't think this applies when your car is facing downhill.
 
So you do have a "keep if from rolling backwards hill holder" if you want to
go to and use the SHIFTRONIC feature. Kind of slick don't you agree?
 
NOW, if only some computer type would figure out how to program
the tranny computer so it could be manually upshifted earlier.

RE: 75
It seems like a lot of work to me since all cars come with these great hill holders for both up and down hill.
They are called brakes.

I would love to read 07-40-002, but I cannot get that TSB to come up!
 
How to do so?
 
Thanks in advance.

Engine/ECU/Transmission Chugging Problem by monkeycb
Dec 11, 2007 (9:31 pm)

So I've had my '07 Limited Ultimate Azera for about 8 months now with 9k miles on it. I love the car and am really happy with it minus one very annoying issue thats been happening for about 1k miles or so. When I lift off the gas to coast for a bit the revs will settle down to about 1k then suddenly surge to about 1.6k with a noticeable chug. As if the car is down shifting almost(which it isn't). it will then fall back down to 1k and repeat. It only happens when its coasting and the revs are low. Around 1k-1.4k I would say.
 
I brought it to the dealer to check it out. Basically they confirmed the issue checked for an update for the ECU(there wasn't one) and told me that they put in a case for it with Hyundai, but there was nothing they could do and that it wouldn't hurt the car.
 
My question is: Does anyone have any idea what is going on? It really seems like an electrical or, more likely, an electronic issue. Most likely the computer, but i suppose it could be the engine itself or transmission.
And second, what should I do about it? It's really frustrating to have a brand new car with such an annoying issue.
