| 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. | |||

| I have owned my2006 hyundai azera for over 3 years,and have complained regularly to both the dealer and hyundai that the lowbeam headlights were a safety problem. they fail to throw enough light to illuminate enough of the roadway ahead to see safely. 3 years ago the dealer checked the aliglnment,and said they were adjusted to the mfg. spec's, and couldn't be improved on. today hyundai told me they would not deal with it. the dealer will not deal with it either. i also have another newer model azera, that has great lowbeam headlights. i feel this is a major safety factor, and the mgr. needs to come up with a solution. i have found many other owners of 2006 azera's who have been complaining about this same problem. i use my hi-beams when i can, but normally i cannot drive with them on with any traffic. there are several hyundai owner websites, all of which deal with this problem, and they cannot get any satisfaction from hyundai to solve the problem. | |||

| I own a 2006 hyundai azera 4 door. the front headlamps do not reflect out sufficiently. the driver side lamps reflect down and create a severe blind spot and extremely poor visibility. i took vehicle to a local hyundai dealer and was told nothing can be done to correct this safety hazardous. i went on line yesterday and discoverd there is a recall for this problem what can i do to have this problem with my vehicle repaired? also, i saw my model vehicle has been recalled for a malfunctioning stop lamp switch. and, the wiring harness for the right front seat belt tension sensor has a defect which can prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a crash. how do i get these defects on my auto corrected? *tr | |||

| I have had a problem with the headlights dimming on my 2006 hyundai azera. this happens at night when you let your foot off of the accelerator. the rpms drop to below 1,000 for a second, and then they rebound to normal on the tachometer. you think that the motor is going to stop, but it doesn't. this decrease in motor revolutions per minute causes a drop in the electricity being produced by the alternator, which causes the lights to dim. the car is about 4 years old and has been doing this for the last 2 years. the dealer has not been able to duplicate this problem. *tr | |||

| 2006 hyundai azera low beam headlights defects. definite design flaw, preventing headlights to properly illuminate roadway. hyundai owner forums on-line address the problem by many, many other owners, but mfg. refuses to deal with the problem, or even address my e-mail complaints. i also have a 2008 hyundai azera, with perfect headlight illumination. dealer says 2008 headlight bulbs are not adaptable to my 2006 model, without replacing the whole assembly. many drivers report on the forum's that driving on unlit rural roads, make it almost impossible to see anything on the roadway more than a few feet ahead, such as a deer or road debris. a simple replacement assembly would correct the problem for all of us. *tr | |||

| I too have had a problem with the headlights dimming on my 2006 hyundai azera. this happens at night when you let your foot off of the accelerator. the problem is the rpms drop to below 1,000 for a second, and then they rebound to normal on the tachometer. you think that the motor is going to stop, but it doesn't. this decrease in motor revolutions per minute causes a drop in the electricity being produced by the alternator, which causes the lights to dim. the car is about 3 1/2 years old and has been doing this for the last 18 months. the dealer has not been able to duplicate this driving the car during the daytime. however, it maybe related to the fuel injectors. after using fuel injector cleaner, the rpm drop off on deceleration seems to be less severe. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2006 hyundai azera. while driving 35 mph on a dark road, the driver was unable to see a deer in the road because the headlights were shining only 20 feet ahead. as a result, the deer was struck by the vehicle. the driver was uninjured and the vehicle was not damaged. the vehicle was driven to the driver's residence. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the headlights were not defective. the manufacturer stated that there was a recall relating to the headlights, but it did not apply to the vehicle. the current mileage was 33,375 and failure mileage was 33,300. | |||

| 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 | |||

| Hyundai azera 2006 when it reach 9,000 miles the front headlights began dimming while driving at night. i have brought it back to the dealership 3 times and they state that this condition does not adversely affect visibility or headlamp illumination in any manner. this condition is normal and does not reflect any malfunction of the electrical system. do not attempt to repair this condition. well, my lights going out for 5 seconds could mean the end of someone's life! this is a major problem that hyundai is not addressing and i am mad! does it need to begin to end in deaths before there is a fix? *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2006 hyundai azera two years ago. i called to tell hyundai usa that the driver side headlight low beam was not operating with a full field of light, it appears to have a shield over the top half of the light. this creates a sharp distinctive shadow and a very short field of light when driving in darkness and is not illuminating a safe amount of the road. i have talked to hyundai usa and two different hyundai dealers about it and the problem goes unacknowledged. they all say they have not heard of this problem although they do attempt to adjust it. they have all said that the light is pointed down to avoid blinding the oncoming traffic, but if the driver is not provided with enough light to see in front of him, he is virtually driving blind. this is a real driving hazard. i am now aware of the recall 08e-021 concerning the replacement lamps on hyundai, but they are not addressing the headlights that are original to the car. *tr | |||

| My 1006 hyundai azera has a dark shadow covering part of the left headlamp. in night driving, this results in limited vision on the left side of the road. dealer told me there's a black dot on the left headlamp which is supposed to reduce glare of my headlights for oncoming vehicles. however, this limited vision may actually result in a collision with a pedestrian or vehicle. dealer told me headlamps are set to spec and cannot be adjusted. it seems to me, that my safety should supersede the comfort of oncoming vehicles. *jb | |||

| I own a 2006 azera bought new in february 2006 and have had minor problems such as left beam blockage due to the way the left headlight is created according to hyundai. i now have a problem that just started 2 months ago when i had yet another headlight replaced. my headlights (low beams) dim for a second or two and this happens every 20 - 30 seconds. it is most noticeable when you have your fog lights on but also noticeable without them. along with this dimming the heater fan also sounds to lose some power. i tried to duplicate this issue by sitting in my driveway with the car running and lights on many times for 30 minutes and more but this does not happen unless the car is in gear and moving. i have had the dealer check this issue but they say they cannot locate any voltage drop or see the problem. i of course asked them to verify this at night but they insisted to try to see this during the day. this is a definite hazard to the life of the passengers in the vehicle and pedestrians who might be walking or riding bikes at night. i have come close to hitting a person in black clothes at night while they were walking as my lights dimmed and for an instant i was unable to see them. this problem should be addressed before someone gets killed. *tr | |||
