2014 Hyundai Azera Louisville, KY

SERVICE BRAKES

The ABS control module needs replacing. The day it started with issues, my abs light as well as esc light, at first. Later all dash lights came on, loud beeping and eventually lost all power while driving. I understand the "fuse" was replaced during recall, but if the damage was already in the making, why should consumer have to pay? I have had it to two different mechanics, first was hyundai dealer, both diagnostic ran, both same problem. Abs control module going out, interior failure!! My car only has 80,000!! Yes, it 12 year old vehicle, has had routine maintenance and garage kept. This is a safety issue and should be taken care of by dealer.

The contact's wife owns a 2013 Hyundai Azera. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was shuddering and then stalled. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs, and ignition coils needed to be replaced. The contact purchased the parts, and the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the parts were replaced; however, the vehicle was still shuddering while driving. A mobile independent mechanic recommended that the key fob battery be replaced. The key fob battery was replaced; however, the failure persisted.

2014 Hyundai Azera El Paso, TX

SERVICE BRAKES

I received a letter from you regarding “Recall on the Anti-Lock Brake System” letter states:: Our records indicate that your vehicle is affected by this recall. So I contacted the Hyundai dealer here in El Paso, made an appointment, (which took 2wks) went to the appointment showed them the letter & was told they would call me. I never heard back from them, I called again & informed them I was calling about the ABS recall, I was told they had to order the part & would give me a call back, again never heard back from them. Sad to say they are the only Hyundai dealer here & they have refused to service my car. I have not made any more attempts to get the ABS fuse replaced due to the unsatisfactory customer service received from them “they just didn't care” My ? Is, how can you help me get this issue resolved. Thank you for hearing my complaint

2012 Hyundai Azera La Puente, CA

SERVICE BRAKES

Recall for my 2012 hyundai azera number 251 Anti-Brake System (ABS) module that could leak and cause an electrical short that could result in a fire. They want to change a fuse from 40 to 30 amp so when the problem occurs fuse will blow. They should fix the problem replace ABS module. What happens if fuse blows will the replace fuse or fix problem. This has cost me gas money and time. I went to dealership they said I had to make a appointment so now I have to go back for them to replace a fuse this is not right ABS should be fixed. Thank you

2012 Hyundai Azera Aurora, IL

SERVICE BRAKES

This recall on the anti-lock brake system was initiated 11 months ago. I brought the Azera into the dealer 2 months ago and they said they had to order parts. I called today and spoke to the parts department. He said he is restricted from ordering the correct part and has no idea when he will be able to order it. Why is Hyundai stalling with this recall?

2013 Hyundai Azera Spring Hill, FL

SERVICE BRAKES

Recall has not been done on this vehicle. I can not keep car outside because in Florida it gets too hot. This problem of leaving it outside causes battery drain and effects the cars paint too. It is now seven months since recall notice. By having recall outstanding it prevents me from trading or selling car at fair value.

NHTSA complaint #11581887 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

2013 Hyundai Azera Wellington, FL

SERVICE BRAKES

According to the recall letter that was mailed to me in October of 2023, it says "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL- Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until the recall remedy is completed." It says that the Anti Lock Brake System could leak brake fluid internally and cause an electrical short over time. This could lead to an engine compartment fire while parked or driving. As of today, April 6, 2024 there is no remedy for this recall. I have called the Hyundai dealer many times and asked for a solution. They said there is still no solution and refused to buy back the vehicle because of its age. Instead they suggested I try to sell the car privately.

2013 Hyundai Azera Rio Grande, NJ

SERVICE BRAKES

I was sent a Recall Notice back in October/November 2023 regarding the ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) Module. This is a very serious fire hazard. I called the dealership today and they reported that the remedy is still not available. This is unreasonably negligent. It has been 5/6 months. The starter and sensor wire harness are now damaged and need to be replaced. The dealership also does not keep the harness part in stock.
