| 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 | |||

| Trip computer returns to 00 without touching reset button, door lock sometimes does not open with transmitter. trunk sometimes does not open with transmitter or interior trunk release.. radio cuts off intermitently. 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. told they cannot fix anything unless these events are happening when i bring in car. aside from these fairly minor problems, the steering wheel locked or power steering failed while driving.. 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. | |||

| 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 perparing 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 huyndi acknowledge the problem. they think it is a switch....we will see! | |||

| 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. | |||

| 2006 hyundai azera limited i just purchased has a headlight problem. the headlights go out at any time for two to three seconds, then come back on. usually this occurs when coming to a stop, but not always. maybe this is the reason the previous owner sold the car. we called the local dealer and were told it was a problem they haven't found a solution to yet, and the dealer at three other azera owners with the same problem. the dealer said there is a voltage drop in the charging system, and it is more noticeable at night when the headlights are on. i have noticed the voltage drop during the day also by seeing the speedometer lights dim. this is so annoying, and is a safety issue. could even become a problem of road rage if my headlights flash on and off at an irate driver in front of me. i can't believe there is no solution! *tr | |||

| Headlights do not properly illuminate the roadway. this is a safety hazard. i almost hit a pedestrian while driving on a dimly lit road. i complained to my dealer and was advised that there was nothing they could do. the dealer claims that the lights are working in accordance with the manufactures specifications. if this is true...the manufacturer should be forced to adjust these standards before a tragedy occurs. there have been two other instances where this condition nearly caused me to have an accident. *jb | |||
