2013 Hyundai Azera

AT APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR CAME ON WHILE THERE WAS A CHILD PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. IT ONLY CAME ON WHEN MY 15 YEAR OLD WOULD SIT THERE AND WE WERE MOVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THE FAULT WAS RESET. THE DEALER STATED IF IT REOCCURED THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW SENSOR. IT DID REOCCUR THIS TIME WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A 160 LB. 5'5 MAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE PART CAME IN THEY WOULD CALL. THE DEALER NEVER CALLED. DUE TO LACK OF TIME ON MY PART I DID NOT FOLLOW UP FOR TWO YEARS AND THE LIGHT WAS ON THE ENTIRE TIME. WHEN I DID GO BACK THE DEALER STARTED THAT WAS TO LONG AGO AND NOW THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE BEING DOCUMENTED AS BAD WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW WHILE SEARCHING FOR A PART ONLINE I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS. WHY DON'T THE DEALER FIX IT?

AFTER MY ABS SYSTEM WAS ACTIVATED AFTER SLIDING STRAIGHT ON SNOW AND ICE ON A SIDE ROAD (MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 15 MPH PRIOR TO BRAKING), I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, I COULD SMELL BURNT RUBBER. I INVESTIGATED MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE AND NOTICED THAT A HUGE GROOVE WAS SCRAPED INTO THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE (ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE WHEEL). THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN IN TWO PLACES AND WAS TEARING INTO THE BACK SIDE OF MY TIRE. IT ALMOST TORE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. IF I HAD KEPT DRIVING IT UNAWARE OF THE DANGER, IT WOULD HAVE CUT MY TIRE IN HALF AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND I DO A LOT OF INTERSTATE DRIVING.

THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN SAME ISSUES FROM VERY BEGINNING AFTER PURCHASED YR 2013. SHAKING ENTIRE VHEHCLE EVERY MORNING AND EXHAUST FURNES SO I TOOK SEVICES SEVERIAL TIMES ON DEALER SHOP ON PHARR,TEXAS. NOTHING CHANGED AND NOTHING IMPROVED THEY JUST MENTIONED IT CAME FROM ORIGINAL ENGINE DESIGN AND TYPICAL PROBLEMS BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. OCT.24TH 2017 DROP OFF MY CAR AT THE DEALER SHOP AT PHARR,TEXAS AND THEY DID DIAGNOSIS AND REPLACED SOME PARTS OF THE ENGIN DAY BY DAY. HOWEVER THEY STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS ROOTS CAUSES UNTIL TODAY. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT HOW THEY DIDN'T NOTICED ROOTS CAUSES AND THEY JUST KEEP MY CAR ON THEIR PARKING LOT AND THEY WOULD NOT TOLD ME RESOLVED DATE!

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 11 A.M. ON SUNDAY, JUNE 19 (OVERCAST, SOME RAIN ON AND OFF, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SO I WAS PROBABLY GOING ABOUT 30 OR 35 MPH) WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP, LIKE SOMEONE POPPING A PAPER LUNCH BAG. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS SO A COUPLE MINS LATER I HEARD WIND. ALL WINDOWS WERE UP, SO I OPENED THE SHADE COVERING THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF, AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW THE HUGE HOLE IN THE FRONT PIECE OF GLASS. THIS IS THE ONE THAT MOVES WHEN YOU OPEN IT. THERE WAS NOTHING INSIDE (LIKE A ROCK OR LUG NUT ETC) TO INDICATE SOMETHING HIT IT. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE ROOF. I HAD TO PAY A $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO GET IT FIXED, SO IF THIS IS A GLASS DEFECT THEN I SHOULD GET MY MONEY BACK.

STEERING WHEEL IS SO TIGHT IT BOUNCES BACK INTO POSITION ALSO THE CAR DRIFTS ON THE ROAD AND THE STEERING WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL ITS LIKE IT SLOTTED SO IF YOU JUST MOVE IT A FRACTION IT WILL FALL INTO A SLOT AND THEN YOU GOING OFF THE ROAD I FEEL THE DRIVE BY WIRE IS SO TIGHT THAT IT WILL SNAP AND KILL SOMEBODY OVER TIME AND THE DRIFTING IT WILL DRIFT FAST SO IF YOUR NOT 100 PERCENT PAYING ATTENTION YOUR DEAD.

WITH A NEARLY FULL TANK OF GAS THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE GAS PUMP INDICATOR BEGINS FLASHING. THIS IS A INTERMITTENT ISSUE THAT OCCURS AT RANDOM TIMES. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE EVENT THROUGH I PROVIDED PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD TO GO AWAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ROUGHLY 4 WEEKS AGO AND HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE.

5/31/2016 LEFT FLORIDA TRAVELING I95 NORTH DESTINATION MARYLAND, OVERNIGHT IN NC. PROCEEDED ON OUR TRIP 6/1/2016 UPON GOING ONTO MD RT 50 TRAVEKING IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WE FELT SOMETHING FUNNY. MY HUSBAND MADE HIS WAY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AT 12:30 PM,GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY CHECKED THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRES AND IT WAS SHREDDED, AND I MEAN SHREDDED. BEING OLDER I CALLED THE MD STATE POLICE FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, AFTER WAITING I HAD TO CALL THEM BACK AS THE JACK HAD SLIPPED AND WAS NOW UNDER THE CAR, UPON GETTING THE SPARE ON WE HAD TO PROCEED TO GET AIR IN THE TIRE. MY HUSBAND SAID THE BACK PASSENGER TIRES APPEARED LOW AND HE PUT AIR IN IT ALSO. WE PROCEEDED TO GET ONTO RT 75 (IN MARYLAND) AND AGAIN AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES WE FELT SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR, WE AGAIN GOT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY CALLED STATE POLICE ROAD ASSISTANCE AGAIN AS THE REAR TIRE WAS ALSO FLAT AND DAMAGED. THESE TIRES ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON THEM.HANKOOK OPTIMO P245/40R19 94V. AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED WE HAD TO WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE AS WE HAD NO OTHER SPARE. WE FINALLY MANAGED TO FIND A SHOP WITH USED 19 INCH TIRES TO MOUNT ON THE ONES THAT WERE DESTROYED AND I MEAN SHREDDED ! WE HAD TO PUT OUT $130.00 FOR (2) USED UNMATCHED TIRES. AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED WE WERE ONLY (1) HOUR FROM OUR HOTEL. WE DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL 7:00PM. I FEEL AS THOUGH HANKOOK SHOULD REPLACE ALL 4 OF OUR TIRES AT THEIR EXPENSE! SOMETHING WAS DEFINITLY WRONG WITH THESE TIRES! IT IS A WONDER THAT WE ARE STILL HERE TO TELL OUT EXPERIENCE!

VEHICLE DRIFTS LEFT AND RIGHT AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, REQUIRING CONSTANT ATTENTION AND CORRECTION BY THE DRIVER, WHICH IS DISTRACTING AND CONTRIBUTES TO DRIVER FATIGUE. UNABLE TO TRACK SMOOTHLY AROUND CURVES. SIMILAR TO ALTERNATING CROSS WINDS, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NONE. SITUATION VERY AGGRAVATING IN ACTUAL CROSS WINDS. POLICE OFFICER PULLED ME OVER AND SAID HE WOULD BE JUSTIFIED IN ISSUING A TICKET FOR "WEAVING". DEALER TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A NEGATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ELECTRICAL STEERING AND NOTHING TO BE DONE FOR IT.
