#557 of 586 Re: 08 ES 350 vs. 07 Azera Limited [richardcot] by tonycd Jun 24, 2009 (4:34 pm)
Replying to: richardcot (Jun 23, 2009 6:11 pm) $2000 for coilovers is 2000 too much to spend on a problem that should be fixed at no cost to the customer.   Yes, it "should." But we're not talking ideals here. His actual situation is that he loves all but one thing about his car, hates its ride, and has one viable fix available to him. Should he keep bee-yotching, or use it? I think that one answers itself.
#558 of 586 check engine, linp home by judgmentbuy Jun 26, 2009 (6:00 pm)
Arghh - the dealer wants me to bring it in Monday - they say the CD skipping may be an electrical problem - and just 1/2 an hour ago, I could not accellerate faster than 35 MPH, then it would not go faster than 3 MPH with the check engine light on. I parked, waited, and the check engine light was on - but I could drive again. ARGHH - the wife was right - not a reliable car it seems. Hope it makes it to the dealer, won't be taking freeways.
#559 of 586 it was a chip they say by judgmentbuy Jun 30, 2009 (3:36 pm)
After 30 hours at the dealer, they called. They say it was a bad chip that caused the speed, and check engine light problems. They say maybe it fixed the CD player issue too. They gave me a free loaner car. I like the service part of Hyundia in San Jose...
#560 of 586 CD player problem by judgmentbuy Jul 02, 2009 (12:07 pm)
It might be premature to say 'WOO Hoo, yahoo!" - but since they re-flashed the chips, all problems including the skipping CD player seem fixed. So, it was not a bad head problem - it was a bad bit in a chip problem. Just 2 CDs tested so far, but not one skip. Before i'd get 100 skips per CD.

Replying to: judgmentbuy (Jul 02, 2009 12:07 pm) I wonder what they might have done. As far as I know, the car's ECU isn't connected to the headunit. Would reflashing ECU affect stereo headunit in any way?   allmet, you are the audio guru. Any ideas? Replies to this message: allmet33 (Jul 06, 2009 5:54 am)
#562 of 586 CD player problem by judgmentbuy Jul 02, 2009 (2:52 pm)
there is always a chance the dealer found something else wrong but didn't write it down, like a loose connector or?

Replying to: wobbly_ears (Jul 02, 2009 12:31 pm) Wobbly...electronics are a funny thing and it's really hard sometimes to say that one thing did or didn't cause a problem for another component. Personally, I don't think the ECU would affect the head unit, but then again...with head units being connected to more funtions in a car, you can't rule out the possibility.
#564 of 586 CD player problem by judgmentbuy Jul 10, 2009 (2:04 pm)
Updates - the fix only lasted a few hours of CD playing. And the TPS was the throttle position sensor - not the tire pressure sensor the front desk lady told me. The CD player started skipping again - took it back in, they tightened the audio connectors and told me I have to show them the skipping audio on commercial CDs before they will order a new amp or radio.... But so far, in the first hour - no CD skipping.
#565 of 586 My First Real Problem by rgb42 Jul 15, 2009 (9:15 pm)
I was on a trip south on July 3 driving on I-83 doing about 65mph when all of a sudden my 08 Azera Limited lurched and then I noticed I had no engine power. The check engine light illuminated as well as the ESC Off light illuminated. The tach was showing just around 1000rpm and stepping on the accelerator, all the way to the floor, produced no acceleration at all. I pulled to the shoulder and kept driving with a top speed of about 5mph. Traffic was extremely heavy and the shoulder was pretty narrow so I didn't want to stop there and kept driving approximately 1 mile to the next exit. I didn't know if I was going to make it, but I did. I pulled into a convenience/gas station, parked, and shut the engine off. I couldn't figure out what was wrong and was miffed. I let it sit for a few minutes and then started the engine again. Although the check engine light was still illuminated, stepping on the accelerator sent the tach flying upwards ... I did that a couple of times just to make sure and then I drove around the large lot for half a minute or so and the car seemed to be working normally. Found a Hyundai dealer fairly close to where I was and went over there. Told them what happened and that I was on a trip. They got my car right in and in less than 2 hrs I was on my way again. Turned out to be a faulty Throttle Position Sensor, which they replaced and then had to reprogram the car. They treated me just super there and although I was a bit put out by what happened (15,900 miles on the car) I was extremely happy with how a bad situation turned good. The mechanic that worked on my car, when asked, said that he has seen some bad Throttle Position Sensors on various models, not just the Azera, and said there is a TSB out on them and the replacement part is supposed to be better. He told me I wouldn't have any problems after the replacement.   I've also noticed that it sounds and feels like the front wheels, at times, are going to fall off when going over bumps. Guess it's time to take it in to have those struts checked out now.
#566 of 586 Same thing for me and now TPMS by judgmentbuy Jul 18, 2009 (9:29 am)
Yes - that's what happened to me too. Now I get a TPMS warning flashing on my dash, sigh. I guess it's back to the dealer after checking tire pressure!
