Hyundai Azera Front End Problems

Replying to: joe97 (Mar 18, 2009 8:44 pm)

heck, even the Yugo had some good merits he he he...yeah, it was disposable! At one point it was hard to believe that anything could come out and be worse than the Hyundai Excel. VOILA...Yugo!!!
 
Seriously...the Genesis is one of those cars either you like it or you don't. There's a few that want to like it, but because it's a Hyundai, they have to find fault with it. It actually seems like those posting about the Genesis suspension have actually driven one as opposed to how it was with the Azera. Yet, I know there's a few out there that are simply repeating what they've heard and have no first hand experience to draw from. Which really makes me wonder how someone could wrongly distort facts by saying the suspension was unsafe in any way, shape or form. Do you realize if it was truly unsafe, there would be investigations, forced recalls and more likely than not...media coverage of it (remember when the Suzuki Sidekicks were prone to tipping over)??? There is also nothing wrong with objective opinion when the truth and facts are stated, but again...you have folks that skew facts and bend truth to benefit their cause.
 
Then there are those that log in as multiple screen names to the same forum and make various negative postings to make the problem seem worse than it really is. There is one I suspect in this very forum just based on the way his posts are put together. Any forum I'm a part of, I use the same screen name for the purpose of consistency.
 
What really kills me in all this is that they bought the Genesis without seemingly taking it for a serious test drive. I'm sorry...a REAL test drive would have shown you any suspension discrepancies that would have put you on notice. How can you take a test drive an find nothing wrong, but a week after purchase...complain about the suspension??? Honestly, I think some of those people are tired of getting razzed by their friends and family for dropping +$35k for a Hyundai. Until someone else is paying my car note(s), I could care less what your thoughts are regarding the vehicles parked in my driveway.

"To make a statement that there are no finer suspensions than those found in Buicks...
it really makes me question your automobile credibility."
 
I did not make that precise statement. What I did say was that GM as a group does make the finest suspensions which of course includes Buick. We should all be so lucky with the Azeras.

Surprise surprise. Buick is on top.
Read the entire article. You will not find any Hyundai product even mentioned!
 
Why do you criticize me? Weren't you the one that just had only one strut replaced recently? Your Azera suspension is great, but you allowed your fine dealer to replace only one side? How is that balanced? That's like relining the brakes on one side only.
A new strut on one side and the other side has over 60K miles on it!
 
Most of us have 'normal tastes' and do not consider 20 inch wheels and extremely low profile sidewall tires the proper way to go. With sidewalls that short, the ride must be rather stiff.
If that's your thing, that's fine with me, but that combination surely changes
the stock ride doesn't it? I do not expect you to admit that little fact!
 
"Some life you have there to follow another poster around to every single forum he
may be a part of AND take the time to read every single one of his posts.
Does that make you an authority on the Azera suspension or on Carolinabob?"
 
I have the time thank you, for unlike you, I am retired and not at work. What I do with my time is none of your business. Who is to say that maybe he follows me around. You read his posts too, and as a matter of fact you probably spend much more time on these forums that I do.
You post more than Bob and I do combined, although most of your post are meaningless.
How many posts have you made compared to the combined totals of Bob and I?
Of course I am not an authority on Bob, or anyone else for that matter.
I do know considerably more about him that you do because, unlike you, I have
spent many many hours speaking with him. Have you ever spoken to Bob?
 
As far as being an authority on the Azera suspension, I've got you beat there, having been
back to the agency now six time for that same problem over the last 18 months.
Can you rattle off all the shock part numbers from memory as I can? I thought not!
Based on that fact is how my ownership of this otherwise almost perfect car
will terminate shortly under California's Sony-Beverly (Lemon Law) act.
 
Like many others here, I do know all about the problems with the Azera suspension.
Many here including yourself are happy with their Azeras suspension. I am not one.
That's why I am 'jumping ship.'
 
Carry on and enjoy!

GM makes the finest suspension? I can't stop laughing here.

Hyundai is at 161, much better than last year's showing, at 200 last year, for comparison.

While GM's umbrella is quite large, they can hardly be credited with making the finest suspensions in the game.
 
As far as my strut replacement, only one strut was giving problems and it wasn't a ride quality issue, it was a creaking noise over bumps. If the other one offers any problems, then back it'll go for replacement. I guess I'm just too laid back and easy going to get in an uproar as to why they would only replace one side when it's quite possible the other one should be replaced, but hey...if they want to do the alignment a 2nd time, it's on them and I'm not gonna worry about it since it's all covered by warranty. If I were paying out of pocket...it would be a different story.
 
I've read Carolinabob's postings, but hardly all of them...maybe only a fraction of them considering the only place I've read them is here in this forum. I would hardly believe that he would be the one doing the following because the more you post, the more I truly believe who you really are. There is no possible way I could spend more time in these forums if you've been the one to have read all of Bob's postings....sorry, I'm just not a groupie. I haven't spoken to Bob and I don't need to. I have not discounted his issues or your issues with the Azera suspension and you shouldn't be accusing everyone else of being in denial with their respective Azeras. Do you really think that just because you and Bob have shared the same issue that everyone else in the rest of the nation MUST have the same problem as well?
 
I am truly sorry that you have had the experience you've had with your Azera, while you get out of yours, I will continue to happily motor on down the road in mine. The content and direction of your post, along with your location...I've pretty much figured out who you are. Don't worry Batman...your secret is safe with me!

I guess I'm among the more fortunate ones in that my 2006 Limited (35k miles and counting) doesn't seem to notably suffer from wallowing, porpusing and unsafe bobbing about from lack of proper jounce and rebound control, and that's certainly fine with me! I'm still driving with all of the original suspension components, though I suspect that, in another year or two, I may have to buy a set of new tires, replacing the OEM Michelins...
