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…

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO THE DRIVERS SIDE POWER SEAT BACK IN MY 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA WOULD INCLINE FULLY FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING PINNING ME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEAT BOTTOM COULD BE MOVED BACK BY MANUALLY OPERATING THE BOTTOM SWITCH TO MOVE THE ENTIRE SEAT ASSEMBLY BACK. AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE INCLINE MOTOR AND 2 DIFFERENT SEAT SWITCHES, THE ENTIRE SEAT NOW MOVES WITHOUT WARNING TO A FULL EXTENDED POSITION. THE ENTIRE SEAT MOVES TO THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITION OVERNIGHT WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE. THE MOVEMENT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND IS CON…

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 HYUNDAI AZERA ON ROUTE 81 SOUTH THE DRIVERS SEAT STARTED MOVING FORWARD ON IT'S OWN. I COULD NOT STOP IT. THE SEAT PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL.ALSO THE BACK OF THE SEAT ALSO MOVE FORWARD AND ESSENTIALLY PINNED ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I COULD NOT GET THE SEAT TO GO BACK FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND A HALF. I GOT THE SEAT TO RESET AND IT DID THE SAME THING A COUPLE MINUTES LATER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ONLY THE FACT THAT I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER AVOIDED A CATASTROPHIC HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. FUCCILLO HYUNDA…

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 PREPARING 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 …
