| 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. | |||

| As i pulled my 8 month old hyundai azera out of a parking lot, the cast iron housing holding the upper end of the passenger side tie rod failed, causing the tie rod to fall to the ground. the lower end was still in place but the upper end was on the ground, bolt and carter pin intact . this caused the right front wheel to become disengaged from the steering mechanism, causing the car to hit a parked car. hyundai north america and the local dealership , after initially admitting this was product failure, now refuse to repair either the body damage or the tie rod which should be covered by warranty at the least. they insist our insurance company should pay for their product failure, which will cause our rates to increase. *jb | |||

| Thumping loose noise coming from front suspension mainly at speeds less than 40 miles per hour. officially hyundai says this is not a problem but my sources tell me that the hyundai engineers are well aware of the problem,know how to remedy problem but wants to keep it all hush hush because the fix is to expensive meanwhile owners simply have to suffer through this annoyance every day in fear that eventually something is going to break and possible cause an accident, can you please help us with this daily noise and safety issue. i do not wish to bring harm to my self, my family or any one else as a result of this problem. thanking you in advance for your speedy attention to this critical matter. | |||
