RE 13: Airbags save lives. I would like to hear Hyundai executives explain why the side airbags is not offered even as an option in Korea. I guess we, Koreans are tough as nails and therefore more resilient to side impacts than American consumers.

#15 of 17 Radiator and Power Handle Component replaced FOC by acelink

On June 4th, Hyundai replaced the radiator and power handle component FOC on my car. Regarding the coolant contamination, they say it was due to contaminated(?) water supply at one of their plants in Korea. I will check the coolant again on a later date to see everything is ok.
 
As for the power handle component change, it was making mosquito sound at low speed manuevers. They greased it previously, which didn't last. This time, they had an entire lower part replaced which solved my problem for good. An added bonus that came with the new component is that the steering is now firmer at high speed driving,
making the car feel more secure.
 
For now, I am satisfied with the fixes. I hope I don't have to waste my time fixing what Hyundai should have done right in the first place.

#16 of 17 Azera 06 airconditioning not working by lynn97

My husband and I recently purchased an 06 Azera from a local dealer.
We found that the A/C was not working while we were driving home.
The dealer cant get the car in for service for almost a week. There is also
a whining noise coming from the engine. Maybe a compressor perhaps?

A whining noise could indicate a bad bearing, possibly in one of the components connected to the serpentine belt.
