Has anyone tried either one of these routes to resolve their issues? Thanks, |

15,000 miles on my 2009 Azera Limited built in early March, 2008. So far the suspension has been "OK". Nothing like some of the terrible stories of wallowing and worse, but not particularly great either. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 so far. No, it's not as good as a Toyota Avalon (which I may have purchased if the Azera hadn't been MANY thousands less in price), but so far (especially after hearing that the suspension was the achilles heel of the Azera), I can't complain.

"Did you ever notice a slight vibration at certain shift points? Mine sometimes shudders between 40-50 MPH. The dealer and his District Service Mgr. tell me it's the torque converter clutch pulsing and a normal characteristic of the car." No no no! The torque convertor clutch does not pulse. When you are at any speed above 38 mph (in my car) with a light throttle, you transmission should be in fifth gear and the torque convertor clutch should be engaged. If you continue accelerating with a rather light throttle application, there should not be any engaging or disengaging of the torque convertor at all. These 'types' will tell you anything to try and get you to believe their dribble. There is indeed something wrong, either with the T/C or the software programming! Try a different dealership. Have you filed a complaint with customer assistance in Utah? If not, do so now! What 'they' have said is simply not true. Observe your tachometer. Prove what I am saying to yourself. Once your tachometer is steady at 40 mph and your tranny is in fifth gear and you see that the T/C is engaged, does your tach suddenly go from a steady reading to several hundred rpms higher. If it does, then your T/C did disengage which it should not be doing. It should not do that under a steady throttle and very light throttle application. And even if it does disengage, it should do so so smoothly that you really cannot feel it! You do understand the idea behind a locking torque convertor I trust? HTHs D

Replying to: nrosenthal (Jul 05, 2009 12:09 pm) I filed a complaint with Hyundai about 18 months ago, and nothing. The dealer is telling me they consider this normal and probably is flat spotting in the tires or something else--- anyway, it is not a safety issue and until Hyundai actually comes out with an admission of a problem and a "fix" I'm stuck with it! This was my first Hyundai and it will be my last. |
