#281 of 310 Re: Rear Package Shelf Rattle - 2008 Azera [Larry_T] by carolinabob May 10, 2009 (8:22 am)
Replying to: Larry_T (May 09, 2009 6:34 am) Congratulations on your dealer - so far. My Azera developed a chemical odor in the trunk. Took it in and both service advisor and service manager agreed, but had to wait for District Parts & Service Manager to smell it. He came, he denied and service manager then said he could not smell it either. I could smell it from two feet away even after trunk had been open for 10 minutes. Of course, they had been discussing it before I got there for my appointment.   BTW, I have changed oil in vehicles for years, but no way I would touch an Azera. Have heard other stories about it leaking after driving some and so forth. Good for those who can do it, but this is not a simple off with old and on with new oil filter most of us are used to.

Replying to: Larry_T (May 09, 2009 6:34 am) Larry_T...not sure about some secret adjustment screw for the rear shelf, one of the culprits could have been the child seat anchor covers located in the rear deck. Sometimes those plastic covers work loose enough that they vibrate and can be rather irritation. If not those, really don't know what it could be. Good luck!
#283 of 310 Brake Pad Replacement by ricwhite May 15, 2009 (9:39 pm)
Azera / 25,000 miles. Brakes are not feeling as grippy as they used to be on my Azera. I had a car turn in front of me in an intersection the other day and I slammed on the brakes and moved right through the intersection until my speed lowed to about 20 mph and then the pads gripped hard. But until then, it felt almost like they were wet and ineffective. I had to swerve to avoid the car. I was not impressed. No matter how hard I press the brakes, the pads never grip hard enough to activate the ABS. When the car was new, I don't recall this problem.   . I'd like to get the pads replaced. I only have 25,000 miles on the car, so I think just the pads will due. I would like a very high quality and effective brake pad -- probably ceramic. Any recommendations? Shops? Thanks.

Replying to: ricwhite (May 15, 2009 9:39 pm) Barring contaminated brake pads (all of them), I suspect you experienced a failure of the ABS system. Except for hard stops, do the brakes seem to work normal?   I had a 94 Olds Cutlass Ciera that acted like you describe when I needed to do a harder than normal stop one time. It caused me to bump into the back of another vehicle, but did no damage, and I was able to buy the guy off for $200. I subsequently took the car to a empty parking lot and practiced hard stops to duplicate the condition. It did not duplicate. So, I gave it no more thought.   Fast forward several months. My wife was driving the Olds on the freeway and there was an accident ahead of us. With sufficient time to stop, she braked hard, and the car started slowing as if the brakes were wet. Bottom line, Olds plowed into back of utility truck at about 10 mph and was totaled (mostly because an air-bag deployed and it wasn't worth that much even though it had only 20K miles on it).   Take the car in to the dealer NOW with your complaint clearly written on the work order. Keep it in your possession regardless of what they do. It's evidence of a mechanical failure of a safety item that was not repaired just in case they can't duplicate the problem and do nothing to fix it.   Regards, Gary in Sandy Eggo Replies to this message: ricwhite (May 16, 2009 9:23 am) garysteinweg (May 16, 2009 10:20 am) allmet33 (May 17, 2009 4:14 pm)

Replying to: garysteinweg (May 16, 2009 7:15 am) Thanks for your response. The brakes under normal driving conditions work fine. No issues at all. ABS works because it was activated a lot this past winter on icy or snowy roads. Hard braking is another story. The pads just seem slippery until the car slows below a certain speed and then they grip.   Maybe the pads WERE contaminated by wheel cleaning or tire spray. I don't know. I think I need to just get some really good grippy new pads on there. All of the other brake components seem to work fine. Replies to this message: garysteinweg (May 16, 2009 10:20 am)

Replying to: ricwhite (May 16, 2009 9:23 am) Be careful. In my last message, I shoulda said the ABS "malfunctioned" not "failure". The ABS activated by reducing the braking pressure following the initial brake stomp, but it didn't allow the pressure to be reapplied repeatedly. It was like I had about 30% braking. Got a butt-cramp pushing on the brake peddle to no avail.   Just sayin . . . watch out.   Regards, Gary in Sandy Eggo

Replying to: garysteinweg (May 16, 2009 7:15 am) Replace them with ceramic pads and you'll notice a difference. I got some Akebono ceramics from www.rockauto.com for $63/pr. for the fronts, put them on myself and brakes have been flawless, not to mention they last longer than the semi-metallic pads that are OEM.
#288 of 310 Parts/Accessories Discount by SilverBullet00 Jun 26, 2009 (12:38 pm)
I have found Magauto.com to be the best source to buy parts or accesssories. Just ordered the OEM floor mats and cound not find a better price anywhere. I used them when I needed OEM parts for my 300M and they beat local dealer by 20%.
#289 of 310 Memory Seat Settings by cklinski Jul 30, 2009 (11:57 am)
Has anybody had any problem with the "Memory Settings" with their Azera?   We just bought a used 2008 Limited and we noticed right away the memory settings weren't working correctly, specifically with moving the seat to the correct location (the side mirrors and steering wheel seems to be fine). We had it in to the dealership, got it back and the same day we got it back, my wife reset her settings and within a few minutes the elevated seat moved down, beeped at us and now only the front portion of the seat moves up and the seats don't move at all to their programed settings when selecting the Memory buttons.   Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Replying to: Larry_T (May 09, 2009 6:34 am) Ok, I have one question for. Does it CLEARLY sound like a vibration and not a blown speaker? If so, then IT IS under warranty because it is the piece that the speakers are in not the speaker and that is covered under bumper to bumper. The problem is a clip that holds the shelf, plate or whatever you call it in place. It is a clip but they have to order the entire plate and replace it. This does hold your back sub woofer but is only the plate that is bad.
