Replying to: cdmuile (Jul 01, 2008 9:09 pm) "This dealer situation is becoming a major factor in my purchasing another Hyundai."   I've been to three different dealers in my area including the hack store where I bought (they had the best price) and they all SUCK!!! . One service writer at one of these illustrious dealers didn't even know what an Azera was. These dealer's service depts are aloof and insincere. They are in need of some serious customer service training. Part of the problem, IMO, is that they sell multiple brands and give more respect to the other brands and treat Hyundai like the unwanted step child of the bunch.   By contrast, the Mitsubishi dealer (I also have 2 mitsubishie's) just down the road that I use is absolutely fabulous and will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. The owner is always "on the floor" and greeting customers. They even bought one of my new cars back and replaced it with a new one because of a paint issue (car had a scratch in the hood and manager promised to replace it if we bought. Turned out that replacement wasn't an option and body shop painted anyway. Oops!)
#30 of 38 Passenger seat glitches by jwiegand Sep 26, 2008 (9:07 am)
33,000 mi on an '06 Limited and the passenger seat-back recliner switch needs to be replaced. It won't function to bring the seat-back up from any recline position. Dealer has to order part but will install under warranty. Dealer is replacing the passenger seat-bottom frame as well. Apparently the air-bag weight sensor is sending intermittent fault code signals to the computer.

Both my wife and I have experienced the driver's seat suddenly falling back. It makes driving scary. Has anyone else found such a problem? Thanks for all the great information on this site.

Replying to: SilverBullet00 (Nov 27, 2009 8:31 am) I'd complain about my slight hang-nail, but I'm well out of warranty...
#34 of 38 Over 71K on my 07 by jaymagic Nov 30, 2009 (9:57 am)
Passed 71K on my 07 Azera. Only issues were the splash shield (replaced under warranty) and my dislike of the original Michelin tires. I have never replaced the the original shocks and my avg mpg over all this time is pretty steady at 24.4 mpg. I did have a dead battery the other day and may need to check on that, but otherwise everything has been working without a problem.

Replying to: jaymagic (Nov 30, 2009 9:57 am) Jaymagic,   What was your complaints with the Michelin tires?   I too hate them and can't wait to get rid of them. What have you found to be a good replacement for them?   Thanks,   karnsmhotmail.com Replies to this message: SilverBullet00 (Dec 02, 2009 9:07 am) craigmri (Dec 02, 2009 3:49 pm) jaymagic (Dec 03, 2009 2:33 pm)

Replying to: mkarns1 (Dec 02, 2009 3:47 am) Mkarns1,   Hope you don't mind my opinion on the Michelins. Having talked at length with a regional Hyundai Rep, we both came to the conculsion that the OEM Michelins were not a good choice of tire for the Azera. They are a hard heavy tire which provide long term mileage but get very noisey after the 20K mileage mark.   I bought my 08 Limited w/5K on the speedo and make the mistake of not getting a full alignment before making a 7K trip which ended up with badly feathered tires that are driving me crazy with all the noise. Alignment showed to much toe in front and rear.   Trying to put up with the noise and get mileage from the tires till I replace then with the General Altimax HP's that Wal-Mart will special order, install with life time rotate and balance for out the door $594. Having a hard time to find another place to beat the price and I know all about Tire Rack and Tire Discount, its the installers that can up the overall price.

Replying to: mkarns1 (Dec 02, 2009 3:47 am) Folks,   I just ordered Some Falken Ziex ZE329's...235/55-17's for $69 a tire plus $60 shipping from an online tire place....$336 for four sweet tires to my door. Install locally will be $100.   Craig

Replying to: mkarns1 (Dec 02, 2009 3:47 am) I thought they wore out too quickly and did not offer much in the way of better handling. While many have gone to the Altimax, I went the route of the Goodyear Eagle GT. (W speed rated).   I did not want just an H rated tire. Right or wrong, my Azera has been in triple digits on a few occasions and I want all the safety margin I can. I have been VERY happy with the Eagle GT's. I have about 20K on for now and just switched to my winter studded tires. The GT's were not terrible on snow and ice, but naturally the studs are better.   The handling, wet and dry, on the Eagles is far better than the OE Michelin's. AND virtually any tire you pick will be WAY lower in price than the Michelins.
