WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS DIM DRASTICALLY WHILE THE CAR IS DOWNSHIFTING WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP. EACH TIME THE CAR DOWNSHIFTS THE LIGHTS DIM. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EVEN SHOWN THEM THE TSB PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX THIS ISSUE. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS SOME EXCUSE WHY IT IS HAPPENING AND IT GENERALLY CENTERS AROUND SUPPOSED CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINALS OR I NEED MY BATTERY REPLACED. AFTER CLEANING TERMINALS, REPLACING BATTERY, AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY SUGGESTED, THE HEADLIGHTS STILL DIM. THEY REFUSE TO DO THE FIX AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB AND SAY THAT EVERYTHING CHECKS OUT FINE AND THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE ANYTHING, EXCEPT THE BATTERY WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS UP WAS IN 2008 AND MULTIPLE TIME PER YEAR SINCE WITH NO RESOLUTION. IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR WITH THE AMOUNT OF STRAIN ON THE SYSTEM AND AGING OF THE VEHICLE. I FEAR THAT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO DART OUT IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO REACT IN TIME SINCE MY HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT PROJECTING THEIR FULL DISTANCE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. *TR

I CAN BE DRIVING AND THE D FOR DRIVE WILL GO OUT IF I PARK AND GET OUT AND GET BACK IN AND PUT MY CAR IN DRIVE MY CAR WON'T GO ANYWHERE I WILL HAVE TO FIND A SCREW DRIVER AND PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON BESIDE THE GEARS I CAN TRY TO PARALLEL PARK IN TRAFFIC AND AS SOON AS I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE THEN BACK ON DRIVER CAR WON'T MOVE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO GO IN REVERSE OR GET OUT AND HAVE MY CAR PUSHED UNTIL THE CAR IS READY TO GO BACK INTO DRIVE. *TR

ELECTRICAL GREMLINS ARE EVERYWHERE IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED. THERE ARE SO MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY CAR I KNOW IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WILL ARISE WHILE DRIVING. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE RECALLED UNTIL THE COMPUTER/ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE FIXED. THERE IS A REAL PATTERN HERE WITH ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN PEOPLE DYING IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. ALL OF THESE ISSUES CAME ON VERY SLOWLY OVER TIME AND SEAMED MINOR AT FIRST. NOW I AM TRULY AFRAID WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND I HAD PLANNED ON THIS BEING MY LAST CAR. NOW I AM RETIRED AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. 1. STARTING PROBLEMS - CAR OCCASIONALLY WON'T START NO IGNITION NOISE OR CLICKING AT ALL. I WIGGLE THE SHIFTER AROUND AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL START. 2. RADIO - THE RADIO IS ALWAYS LEFT ON WHEN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES ON WHEN STARTING. BUT MOST TIMES IT WILL NOT GO ON UNTIL I TURN IT OFF AND ON AGAIN. THEN THE RADIO WORKS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS STARTED. 3. REAR SHADE - THE REAR WINDOW SHADE STOPPED WORKING. ONLY MADE A GRINDING NOISE. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE HIT THE CONTROL BY THE SHIFTER AND THE GRINDING STARTS UP. EVENTUALLY IT STOPS. 4. HEATER - THE HEATER CONTROLS JUST RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. THE HEAT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. NOW ONLY COOL AIR OR SLIGHT AMOUNT OF HEAT BLOWS NO MATTER HOW HIGH THE TEMPERATURE SETTING IS. 5. DOOR AND TRUNK LOCKS - WHEN LOCKING DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB THE PASSENGER DOOR AND THE TRUNK OCCASIONALLY DON'T WORK. WHEN I USE THE INTERIOR LOCK SWITCH OR MANUALLY LOCK THE DOOR THEY WILL LOCK PROPERLY. 6. DRIVER SIDE CHAIR HEAT - THE BACK OF THE SEAT NO LONGER HEATS UP. THE SEAT CUSHION STILL HEATS UP. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS FINE. *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 I BOUGHT A USED 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA FROM SUTTON FORD, LINCOLN, KIA DEALER. I HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS WOULD DIM ON THE CAR AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD TO INCLUDE THE RADIO GOING OFF THE AIR AND COMING BACK ON WHENEVER I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES. ON STREETS THAT ARE NOT WELL LIGHTED THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY VERY POOR. THE BACK WINDOW SHADE DOES NOT WORK WHEN PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE OR IN THE DRIVE MODE THE MOTOR OPERATING THE SHADE MAKES A NOISE UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE SHADE DOES NOT OPERATE ACCORDING TO THE CAR MANUAL. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, WHENEVER THE LIGHTS DIM AND I AM APPROACHING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND HAVING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR A TRAFFIC LIGHT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT THE OTHER DRIVER THINKING I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT THEM. *TR
