RADIO CUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHT FLICKERS, AND ENGINE WILL STALL FOR AN INSTANT. BACK WINDOW SCREEN GOES UP AND DOWN BY ITSELF. AIR CONDITIONER CAME ON WITHOUT MY PUSHING BUTTON. WARNING MESSAGES WILL APPEAR FOR FEW SECONDS "CHECK ENGINE", "ABS FAILURE", ETC. TWICE TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID FIND AN OIL LEAK AND REPLACED HOSE. REPLACED FUEL LEVEL SENDER AND DRIVER DOOR MODULE. BUT THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS CONTINUE.. I AM WORRIED THAT ELECTRIC AND STEERING PROBLEMS WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR WARRANTY WORK. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, WHILE PARKED AND UNATTENDED, THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT, ON ITS OWN, READJUSTED ITSELF ALL THE WAY FORWARD. THIS HAPPENED ALMOST DAILY. THE DEALER SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED OK AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE A CAUSE. ON 9/12/11 I SAT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE WORK, AND THE SEAT BACK READJUSTED ITSELF WITH ME IN IT (CAR HAD NOT YET BEEN STARTED). IT PUSHED ME FORWARD AND UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE MOVEMENT OR READJUST THE BACK UNTIL THE SEAT BACK COMPLETED ITS TREK ALL THE WAY FORWARD. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, I READJUSTED THE SEAT AND STARTED DRIVING ON THE BWI PARKWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE SEAT BACK DID IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE DEALER AND DURING THE 15 +/- MILES TO THE DEALER, I WAS COMPRESSED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL ABOUT 20 MORE TIMES. I AM 6 FEET TALL AND HAVE LONG LEGS, AND DURING THE TIMES I WAS DRIVING AND COMPRESSED AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL, IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE. AS A RESULT, AS SOON AS I WOULD FEEL THE SEAT START TO MOVE FORWARD, I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE PARKWAY UNTIL THE SEAT STOPPED AND I COULD READJUST THE BACK. THANKFULLY, THIS TIME WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE SEAT COMPRESSED THE SERVICE ATTENDANT WHILE HE WAS SITTING IN MY CAR, SO HE COULD SEE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM! SEVERAL MONTHS AGO WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE BACK READJUSTING ON ITS OWN, I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISSUE WITH AZERAS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I HOPE THAT IT WILL NOT TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE TO MAKE HUYNDAI ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. THEY THINK IT IS A SWITCH. WE WILL SEE! *KB

2006 HYUNDAI AZERA LIMITED - I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAD LIGHTS AND DASH BOARD LIGHTS DIMMING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR NOW. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60+ MPH. I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO 3 DEALERSHIPS. THE 1ST DEALER SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY HARNESS WHICH THEY CHANGED AND DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO WANTED TO SELL ME A NEW BATTERY. THE 2ND ONE SAID THEY'LL NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAVE MY MONEY AND TAKE MY WIFE OUT TO LUNCH OR TRADE THE CAR IN, AND THE 3RD DEALER SAID THEY HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT ONCE BUT CAN'T REMEMBER HOW. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND HYUNDAI SHOULD FIND A FIX. *TR
