2009 Hyundai Azera Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: May 17, 2020 · Filed: November 26, 2023

Good afternoon, my name is [XXX] . I purchased my 2009 Hyundai Azera limited edition in 2019 used with 98385 miles after I had the car for 9mths the car stopped running and the company I purchased the car from uses a repair company called Silver Rock which maintained the car I was told a belt popped after receiving the car back 2 days later the engine blow. They replaced the engine and from there The check engine light stayed on the Diagnostics check stated the O2 sensor needed attention repaired that light went off for a week after a week the check engine light returned had it checked again and the O2 sensor showed up again so I had someone else change them again light went off 2 days later the check engine Light appeared again but with ABS on ESC off TPMS on had another Diagnostics completed and it still shows O2 senors And ABS failure and to constantly replace the issue and it's not working properly afterward has a little upset. Now I saw that Hyundai has a recall on My 2009 Hyundai Azera for the ABS and the interior light which has stopped as well from my understanding but when I called to get help I was told my car is not a part of that recall which is confusing because I am very much having problems with those systems and from what I've read in the manual multiple chain reactions occur With an ABS stops. My car is now not allowing my keyfob to work, the drunk switch on the door and inside the clove box has stopped, and the release for the back seats is not responding I was never given a master key so I can't access the trunk, and the system will unlock the driver door but none of the others there is an issue where the main power box under the hood is not responding to fuse 3,4,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24 and the same issue is happening to my fuse connection on the inside of the car and when you turn the engine everything is in reverse meaning: door usually lock now the unlock, the AC comes on, the radio comes on, the back window curtain moves.

I OWN A 2008 AND 2009 HYUNDAI AZERA. ON 10/28/14 I HAD TO REPLACE THE LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKETS AT 50,288 MILES ON THE 2009 AZERA AND ON 12/6/14 I HAD TO MAKE THE SAME REPAIRS ON THE 2008 AZERA AT 54,035 MILES (VIN# [XXX]). THE AZERA HAS THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AS THE HYUNDAI VERACRUZ. MODELS 2007-2012 OF THE VERACRUZ WERE RECALLED ON 7/10/14 FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM (RECALL 121). WHEN I CONTACTED HYUNDAI THEY REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AND SAID THEY WOULD ONLY MAKE FREE REPAIRS ON THE VERACRUZ EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE IN THE AZERA IS EXACTLY THE SAME. THE AZERA SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WITH THE VERACRUZ AND HYUNDAI SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIRS TO THE AZERA FREE OF CHARGE. THANK YOU FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN PROVIDE.
