| I purchased a new 06 Azera SE in black with tan 5 days ago and also noticed a clunk sound and can feel it on the gas pedal. I took the car for service and mention the sway bar resolution but they were not able to find anything wrong plus they couldn't replicate the problem. I drove it again and again and was finally able to replicate this problem consistently. I'll take it to another dealer and show them how. I don't experience any clunk on bumpy roads, etc. It only happens when the engine is off and then when I turn it on and start driving, right when it hits the 3rd gear, the clunk will show and will no longer appear. I'd have to turn the engine off and restart it again to deplicate the issue. Are you guys experiecing this? I don't think my clunking noise is similar to what everyone is getting. I'll print the info from technishawn and show it to service. I just don't understand why the clunking would have anything to do with struts especially only when it reaches 3rd gear after the engine has been turned on. | |

Replying to: jlindh (Oct 15, 2006 5:09 am) I've been curious about the weak clunk after starting. I love my Azera. It's very quiet, smooth and powerful.

Replying to: technishawn (Oct 12, 2006 5:21 pm)  Green Hyundai, and get this "clunker" (no pund intended) fixed. Technishawn, your help is invaluable, and because of Green Hyundai's "Service AFTER the sale", I WILL drive the 120 miles to purchase my next Hyundai(or Kia) at their dealerships. SERVICE IS EVERYTHING!!!

OK Gang: Here is the latest. My service director at the Hyundai dealership in Houston called me this morning, but a little background first. Earlier in the week I told him about everything I obtained and learned from Technishawn and the other folks on this message board and he responded positively. I faxed information to him and he also looked at this site. Since Monday he has been engaged and working on the Clunk issue. What I received from him today: 1. The good news (or the not so good news depending on how you look at it). Apparently the Hyundai engineers have huddled up and have acknowledged that there is indeed a problem with the suspension. 2. The Hyundai engineers are not 100% sure that the new struts and strut assemblies are the cure, therefore I will not (at this time) be getting new struts on my car. This may (and I emphasize may) suggest that technishawn's fix is somewhat of an experiment. Their fear is, the dreaded clunk may come back. This may also explain why we have not yet seen a TSB issued for this problem. 3. Interestingly, my service director told me that when he calls up the old strut and strut assembly numbers on his computer a notice pops up and indicates that the parts are no longer available. Further when he entered the new part numbers, the computer did not recognize them. 5. I again suggested to my service director that he call Green Hyundai in Sringfield to discuss this issue and he said he would. Earlier in the week he gave Green Hyundai's number to his Hyundai engineer - but did not call Green himself. 4. Now my editorial comments. It is good to know that Hyundai recognizes that there is a problem. However, their reluctance not to declare the new struts and strut assemblies the fix, does not make me too happy. Their view may be similar to the story regarding the spot on the rug; you remove it and a week later it rises to the surface and is back. I have no idea how long, for those of us with the dreaded clunk, will have to wait. Lastly, and equally important, technishawn would you kindly monitor your "fix" and let us know how your Azera is performing? JMJK
