| Airbag covering has cracked on either side of the passenger side front airbag module. this first occurred back in 2009 and was told by 2 hyundai dealers that this is a common problem with the 2006-2009 azeras. in reading several hyundai azera forums (edmunds, hyundai-forums, etc), it is very clear to me that this is indeed a very common problem. as the vehicle was out of warranty at that time, my nearest dealer offered to repair it for $2000.00+. however, as i feel if the problem is so common, than perhaps a nhtsa investigation is warranted with the hopeful expectation that hyundai will issue a recall and/or cover the costs to repair. i am deeply concerned that the passenger side airbag will not deploy correctly if and when needed. please look into this serious safety problem. *tr | |||

| My vehicle was struck while standing still waiting for a traffic signal to turn green. the other vehicle which struck my vehicle was travelling possibly 20 - 25 miles per hour. damage almost totaled my car. my wife was driving, alione in the vehicle and was injured but did not report it at the time. she was injured because the air bag did not deploy. she was wearing a seat belt which operated correctly. at the time, because other cars and excitement, no one paid attention or reported the fact that the front seat air bag did not deploy. now, four years late, a red air bag warning light has lighted along with another faulty seat belt warning light for passenger side. the hyundai people deny any problem with the air bag. i believe the air bag system to be defective. i have never been notified of a recall. | |||

| Huyndai issued a recall notice for the occupant restraint system but did not have the replacement parts at the dealers. so my 2007 azera was given a partial fix about 6 weeks ago and for the rest of the fix i am still waiting for the dealer to get the seat belt retracor in stock. meanwhile the air bags are disbled! i don't understand how huyndai would issue a recall notice for a safety item but not equip itself with the required components for the fix! | |||

| The dash board has a cut out for the passenger side air bag on top and is somewhat perforated and thinner in that area. due to a design defect, the dash cracks over that area. these have been replaced for some and not others. it appears that it is up to the local people. i brought my questions about this design to the dealer before the warranty expired, it then cracked and now they will not do anything to replace it. i hear the replaced ones crack too. i have heard that they can interfer with the air bag. | |||

| I purchased a 2007 hyundai azera on 06/20/2007. received a form letter notice of recall from hyundai motor america on 3/11/2010. essentially, the notice said that if the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster will illuminate to indicate a problem exists in the right front seat air bag system...that the air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash. i immediately called the dealer and took car in to fix the air bag situation. after six hours of waiting, i was informed that the dealer did not have the part(s) needed for the repair. i was told to call back in two weeks to schedule another fix attempt. i called on april 8. the service dept. told me that the part was not in yet and to call in ten days or so. on april 20th and was told the part(s) were on national back order. at this point i asked for another azera to drive whose air bag system works until they were able to fix the recall problem. (i didn't want to drive with my wife in the front passenger seat and run the risk of her being injured or killed if my car was involved in an accident.) the dealer's response to my request for a loaner was denied. questions: --is the dealer (or hyundai motor america) required by law to provide for my safety with a loaner car? --the description of a national backorder seems like it may take several months before my 2007 azera can be repaired? is there anything you can do to hold hyundai's feet to the fire to speed this up? --any suggestions for me going forward? thank you for your time and interest. *tr | |||
