JMJK -
Thanks for the update on what you've learned about the dreaded clunk problem. I know that those of us who experience it are starting to get agravated with it. Information like yours, and others, on this forum at least give us hope and cause us to feel like we're at least moving forward on this problem. Hopefully Hyundai will come out with something soon to remedy the situation for all of us who love this car so much.Even with a "clunk", its a great car.

I called my Hyundai service manager and left the part numbers for the struts and insulator assemblies on his voice mail. He responded today and said that those parts are from the Sonata. I guess we will wait and see what information comes from the Hyundai engineers "huddle".

I also have a 2007 pearl white Azera with the clunk. It's not terrible (my wife thinks I am hearing things) but it is enough to irritate me. If this is a "luxury car" it shouldn't have this noise. My dealer says he has never heard of this problem before and is not willing to do the strut thing at this time. Maybe information from this site will make them move in that direction

More complaints should be filed with Hyundai Consummer Affairs. By their own admission, they usually only take action after "enough" complaints are filed, unless it is a safety issue.

Purchased my 06 Azera Ltd Ultimate in March. Immediately noticed CLUNK called dealer...dealer called factory rep....Tony in NY Metro....Was told Azera was too important project to Hyundai and Factory Rep would go for test ride with me so that he could report back to Hyundai Central. Clunk acknowledged....returned to shop to let air out of tires.....problem still there. Returned to dealer several times to complain along with oil changes and was told the noise is there, but that's the way all the Azera's are. Recently gave info found on this site to Service Mgr. and he will contact Hyundai to see if they will approve repair.
 
We should not have to go through the old run around with Hyundai on a problem that everybody has. There are plenty of lawyers that would jump on a "Class Action Suit" on a slam dunk case like this.
 
LETS KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ACTIONS AND RESULTS!!!

I've had them all Mercedes, BMW, Lexus........Dollar for Dollar the Azera is unbeatable. Tremendous Value, Great styling, comfort and goodies (minus navigation).
 
I cannot imagine that Hyundai would want to put out an "almost perfect" luxury level automobile;
 
I can't wait until this "Clunk Issue" is behind us so that I can buy another Azera for my wife...and I will!

Nothing detracts from the driving experience! by drdonrs

I have 1600 miles on my Pearl White Azzy Limited and today I had the car out on the highway and without a doubt it is the best car I have ever owned. That includes my Acura TL's, Maxima, Sterling, etc. I love looking at it and cannot believe the joy I get driving it. I practically do not hear the front suspension, because the noise is really not that much of a deal, at least to me. If they find a fix to totally silence the suspension, so be it. I only drive it on the weekends, my wife's car, so during the week I drive my Sonata LX, which "ain't so bad" either. Had the Azzy up to about 65 to 70 mph with the stereo pumping out some incredible sounds. All in all, an exhilarating experience. We'll wait and see how Hyundai responds to its customers.

I have 16,000 miles on my Azera. I drive my car every day. It's a great car, but the noise is driving me NUTS in around town driving. I have driven other Azeras and they all have this 'DEFECT'. Believe me this defect is in your car too. Your comment " I practically do not hear the front suspension, because the noise is really not that much of a deal" is counterproductive to this forum on getting the problem resolved.
 
If I were a Hyundai official and read your post, there would be no urgency on my part in fixing the problem for the rest of us.

I totally agree. Clearly, by this time Hyundai corporate is aware of the problem. They should take steps to correct it.
Their reaction is similar to the tilt side view mirror function which they corrected by eliminating the mention of the advertized feature from the owners manual
They still have not corrected the memory seat problem which requires the key to be in ignition for the feature to operate.

)) "They still have not corrected the memory seat problem which requires the key to be in ignition for the feature to operate." ((
 
Not justfying Hyundai engineering in this matter, but the thought occurred to me that if the memory seat could be activated without the ignition key in place, it could also discharge the battery (or even result in a fire) in the event of a malfunction. I agree, though, if you're tall and a shorty'd been driving previously, you end up folding yourself up like a contortionist just to get in position where you can insert the ignition key. Perhaps the solution would be drum into the other principle driver that if he/she doesn't return the driver's seat to your position before shutting down the engine and exiting, you'll be doing 25 to life hard time...
