RECALL NUMBER 18V026000 RECALL DATE 01/09/2018 COMPONENT SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK HYUNDAI RECALLS AZERA AND SONATA FOR FIRE DANGERS JANUARY 24, 2018 ' HYUNDAI IS RECALLING ABOUT 88,000 MODEL YEAR 2006-2011 HYUNDAI AZERA AND 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA CARS BECAUSE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENTS MAY CATCH ON FIRE.

TAKATA RECALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ALL THE TIME. THE TIRE TPMS LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON SAYING IT FAILING. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IS SHIFTING FUNNY, SOMETIMES IS JOLTS FORWARD AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. CAR WAS ALSO JUST STALLING OUT AT STOP LIGHTS. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT IN A LITTLE WHILE BUT IT GOES THROUGH SPELLS WHERE IT WILL DO IT EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED.

STARTED HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN MY WIFE RODE WITH ME AND THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. EVENTUALLY, IT STARTED TO REMAIN ON THE WHOLE TIME WITH HER IN THE SEAT. NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT UNFASTENED LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND IT IS READING A FAULT CODE B1489 INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (PODS). SINCE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER HYUNDAI MODEL'S DATING BACK TO THE MID-2000'S THAT HAVE HAD RECALL'S ON THE PODS, I AM WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE MAY USE THE SAME SEAT SENSOR'S THAT THE OTHER MODEL'S USE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO IF WHEN THE PODS IS DEFECTIVE, WILL THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOY, OR WILL THEY DEPLOY NO MATTER WHAT SHOULD THE EVENT BE TRIGGERED.

THE MAIN AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER KEEPS COMING ON, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER SEATBELT OCCASIONALLY LIGHT WHICH OCCURS WHEN SOMEONE HAS SAT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEN EXITS. ONCE THE SEAT IS EMPTY, THE SEATBELT LIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIGHT OFF, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE MAIN CLUSTER REMAINS LIT. THE ONLY TIME THE LIGHT GOES OFF IS WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED MOMENTARILY, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS BACK ON AND ALWAYS COMES ON UNTIL THE ENGINE IS OFF. I DRIVE A CAR IN DANGEROUS STATUS EVERY TIME AND EVERY DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 13V113000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, EXTERIOR LIGHTING) AND 16V630000 (SEATS).

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V630000 (SEATS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

OIL LEAKS FROM THE FRONT CYLINDER BANK STRAIGHT INTO THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING IT TO FAIL PREMATURELY. THE NHTSA ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE FOR THE 2006-2012 HYUNDAI VERACRUZ (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V415000). YOU CONCLUDED IN THE CONSEQUENCE PARAGRAPH "AN UNEXPECTED FAILURE OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH." I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED OF THIS HAPPENING WITH MY HYUNDAI AZERA AS IT CURRENTLY HAS OIL LEAKING INTO THE ALTERNATOR. MY AZERA HAS 80K ORIGINAL MILES. THE AZERA USES THE EXACT SAME ENGINE, FRONT CYLINDER BANK GASKET, AND ALTERNATOR AS THE VERACRUZ AND SUBSEQUENTLY SUFFERS FROM THE SAME PROBLEM THAT LED TO THE RECALL ISSUED FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. PLEASE REVIEW AND COMPARE MY CLAIM AGAINST THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ AS OUTLINED ABOVE. I FEEL IT'S WORTH NOTING I ALSO CURRENTLY OWN A RECALL EFFECTED VERACRUZ AND HAVE BOTH VEHICLES FOR SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS EXPLORING THIS ISSUE ON MY BEHALF AND ALL OTHER HYUNDAI AZERA OWNERS. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER SEAT IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE SEAT OFTEN MOVES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT OPERATING THE POWER POSITION SWITCH. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN INSPECTED BY HYUNDAI DEALER PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. SEAT MALFUNCTION HAS HAPPENED BOTH IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.

POWER SEAT AND BACK REST OPERATES AT WILL. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD THE SEAT MOVE FORWARD RAPIDLY CAUSING A DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE CONDITION. HYUNDAI HAS HAD MANY COMPLAINANTS IN THIS AREA, AND REFUSES TO RECALL AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM. HOW MANY INJURIES AND DEATH DOES IT TAKE IN ORDER TO HAVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACT ON THIS MATTER?

POWER DRIVERS SEAT MOVES ON ITS OWN. IT MOVES FORWARD WITH THE BACK SEAT REST PUSHING ME AND ACTUALLY PINNING ME INTO THE STEERING WHEEL THIS OCCURS BOTH WHILE PARKED WITH THE ENGINE IN THE OFF OR RUNNING, AND IN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN AT ANY SPEED. THE MOTION OF THE SEAT VARIES FROM SEVER TO MINOR MOVEMENT. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENT IF ON THE HIGHWAY OR URBAN STREETS. UNKNOWN CAUSE AT THIS TIME.

RE: 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA / 78,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 45MPH ON A STRAIGHT 4 LANE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT SUDDENLY MOVED ALL THE WAY TO THE FAR REARWARD POSITION, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE PEDAL OR ACCELERATOR. SHE PUSHED THE SEAT SWITCH TO RETURN THE SEAT TO THE ORIGINALLY SELECTED POSITION, BUT WHEN THE SWITCH WAS RELEASED, THE SEAT AGAIN RETURNED TO THE REARWARD POSITION. SHE WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE SEAT FORWARD, AND KEEP IT THERE BY HOLDING THE SWITCH TO THE FORWARD POSITION, TEMPORARILY REGAINING CONTROL OF THE CAR. WHILE HOLDING THE SWITCH IN THE FORWARD POSITION, A BEEPING SOUND WAS HEARD. ONCE STOPPED, THE SEAT SWITCH WAS RELEASED, AND THE SEAT AGAIN RETURNED TO THE FAR REARWARD POSITION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER, AND THEY HAVE ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NUMEROUS CODES RELATED TO THE SEAT STORED IN THE ONBOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM. PARTS HAVE BEEN ORDERED, BUT HAVE NOT YET ARRIVED AT THE DEALER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY POSTS CONCERNING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME ADVISE THAT ONLY THE SEAT BACK WENT FORWARD, PINNING THE DRIVER TO THE STEERING WHEEL, AND OTHERS DESCRIBE EXACTLY WHAT OCCURRED ON THIS CAR. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE ENTIRE SEAT MOVED AND THE BACKREST REMAINED IN THE PRESET POSITION. FORTUNATELY, TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY LIGHT AT THE TIME, OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY SUSTAINED IN THIS INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HYUNDAI AZERA. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE ABS AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS CONTROL UNIT WIRES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD PROBLEMS BREAKING I ACTUALLY HAD MY MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AS WELL AS MY BREAK PADS. I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT TODAY GOING ONLY ABOUT 12 MILES PER HOUR AS I WAS IN A BUSINESS AREA. I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT ALREADY BREAKING AT 12 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS MY CAR SPEED OFF ON ITS ON RUNNING THE RED LIGHT! I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK. LUCKY NO CARS WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I REPLACED MY BREAK PADS THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I HAD MY MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AS WELL SO THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM. HAS ANYONE ELSE WITH MY CAR BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CAR?

AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON INDICATING THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT WORK. MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER ( COLONIAL HYUNDAI IN DOWNINGTOWN, PA) SAID THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSION ELECTRICAL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPLACING. I PAID THEM ALMOST $500 TO DO THAT. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR WIRING HARNESS WAS THE OBJECT OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS CAR AND WAS DONE. SINCE THE ELECTRICAL SENSOR IS ON THE SAME WIRING HARNESS WHICH WAS THE OBJECT OF A RECALL I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AMERICA (800-633-5151) AND ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THIS ELECTICAL SENSOR SINCE IT WAS ON THE SAME WIRING HARNESS THAT WAS THE OBJECT OF A PREVIOUS RECALL. THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE # [XXX] AND GOT BACK TO ME AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS COST. SEEMS ODD THAT THEY WOULD COVER REPAIRING PART OF THIS ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY BUT NOT THE REST OF IT SO I AM APPEALING TO NHTSA FOR SOME HELP HERE OR CLARIFICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB
