Try at low speeds and high speeds when possible. Railroad tracks are also a ggod test, particularly if they cross at an angle or you can cross them at an angle. On good roads, the ride is better than anything I have been in. Good luck and tell them you want it for 1.5-2 hours of driving. I have had dealers say I could take cars home overnight or drive them to my home even though 25 miles away. |

Hi all... I have been reading this topic for several weeks now... I hope what I am asking is not to much. Let me thank anyone for their responses ahead of time... I recently purchases a used 2007 Azera Limited. I love the car... Except... I am experiencing several problems... here is my list: 1. I started noticing a problem with the suspension (clunking over every bump and what seems like a lot of bouncing around). 2. A squeek with every bump/pothole I hit that sounds like it is coming from the right front of the dashboard or beyond. 3. some steady shaking of the steering wheel at highway speeds 4. I have also noticed that there is a slight jolt or lack there of (maybe it feels like a gear is slipping ... I can not really explain it since I am not technical) when the car is cold and I start driving... it ussually goes away once I have been driving for several minutes. So here is what I am asking... I have been reading a lot about the clunkiness with the suspension ... but can someone please post a reply to me stating what it is I should be telling the dealership the first time I go to them with these problems... and then what I should be telling them with the return visit if they fail to resolve these problems... Also I have been told my dealership may charge a fee for looking over the car ... is that normal practice since my vehicle is still under warranty? I have 45,000 miles on it and I am the second owner. Thanks again for any response... ... Drive on

If you fight hard, you may be able to get the Dealer or Huyndai tor eplace the tires for you. I didn't experience the others problems on my 2006 Azera Limited. Good Luck

Replying to: specialknyc (Apr 13, 2009 2:59 pm) Check the warranty info since you're the 2nd owner. The powertrain warranty is cut in half pretty much, but I'm not sure what happens to the rest of them. Did you purchase and extended warranty? |

Thanks for the replies... I will go to the site www.hmaservice.com and set up an account... Thanks. I did not purchase an extended warranty. But I have the option to do that if I need to so long as I do it before the factory warranty is up correct? I will print up the TSB's but I may wait until I hear back from the dealer before breaking them out. The upper control arm is also responsible for the clunk right? I am confused why people are requesting newer shocks... I would think the same noises from the same locations would be caused by one single problem if occurring to so many cars. although if I can find the grounds to get new shocks... I would love to do that considering it will spare me some expense or at least put the cost of replacing them off for a little while. If the dealer replaces the control arms but not the shocks ... are there any grounds on which I can request new shocks as well? (I realize this may not be the most honest question ... but hey a dollar saved is a dollar earned =) |

I was browsing the aftermarket parts sites and I came across these suspension bushings. I'm wondering if the bushings could help with the clunk noise that's heard as being a different material, it may absorb the energy better than the OEM rubber being used. Just a thought. Grandeur TG Bushing Set  Yaya's Full Suspension Polyurethane Bushing Sets -Optimized suspension control -Greater cornering and breaking accuracy -Resistance to oil contamination -Superior life and performance compared to OEM bushings -Expedient alignment correction -Reduced tire wear -Ease of fitment -Various grades of softness / flexibility -Installation guide/picture is included -Widely used for street / timetrial / drag races ● Please purchase the product for your vehicle.

With my car, by having the wheels balanced, it corrected the slight vibration (steady shaking) I felt on highway speeds. I was told that the wider aluminum wheels require more maintenance. Also, when you finally come around to replacing your tires, I would recommend going to a shop like sears or similar who will give you free balancing and rotation for the life of the tire. 4. I have also noticed that there is a slight jolt or lack there of (maybe it feels like a gear is slipping ... I can not really explain it since I am not technical) when the car is cold and I start driving... it usually goes away once I have been driving for several minutes. I've learned that my azera is like a jet engine or an old man and it requires about 5 minutes to warm up before performing properly. I don't even think about the warm up period and figured the engineer wanted it that way for a reason. Azera's lights dimming - another common issue and I decided one day to replace the battery and the headlight dimming issue was resolved. Seems Hyundai must have bought 3 years worth of bad batteries from china. I've enjoyed my azera and once I am 200,000 miles, I intend to purchase another, or perhaps I'll move up to the Genesis! As many, this is my first Hyundai and it has proven to be a very good car for me, about the only complaint is service - some dealerships are much better than others and it is best to try different one's to find one you like. The most recent dealership told me that my car had 60,000 miles and that the timing belt required changing - I smiled and said that I believed the maintenance was at 100,000 and that I had a timing chain - he paused for a moment and looked at his paper and said; "you are correct, my mistake." lol.. They work on commission so just be careful. |
