2007 Azera Report
No problems whatsoever after 37K mile.. Runs like new. Original plan was to replace the car when the waranty runs out (Aug 2012), but due to no-trouble history, will keep the car for 5 more years or major difficulty. I return the car at major service intervals to the Hyundai service department at Brandon, FL. Oil changes only have been accomlplished by local 10 minute oil change places, Seems to be ... Read More

Re: Azera rear sunshade [honestbroker1]
I had the same problem with my rear shade in my 2007 Hyundai Azera, a loud buzzing sounds when it tried to go up or down. The dealership said they either need to replace a gear which costs just under $300+labor or replace the whole shade itself, costing just under $700+labor. I loved the shade but it't not worth the money for me right now so... a simple solution is to ... Read More

Re: Infinity 6 disc changer MP3 sound system [justinrw]
My car is a 2007 Azera Limited with XM. Putting in a used one would just open the door to it breaking again as it will still be two to three years old. Also, I really want the USB stick and option to use an iPod. I see, below, that someone has recommended and Alpine, single space. I will look into that. This is the low cost Chinese one but it ...

Re: New Audio for Limited Package [allmet33]
I have a 2007 Hyundai Azera Limited with Infinity XM CD system. Would you be so kind as to summarize what I should do to improve the audio quality. I find it mediocre. From reading the posts, it seems like I should just replace the speakers in the doors and leave the rest alone. Is this correct? If so, which speakers do you advise?

2007 Azera owner report
2007 Azera Limited with 43000 miles on it bought new. I have not had any of the above mentioned tire problems, although I switched to Goodyear Assurance after 25000, and they are far superior to the OEM Michellins. Also have not had the squeaking dash problem. The only problem so far is that the windshield washers quit working a couple of weeks ago. I'll get them checked out when I take ... Read More

Re: 2007 Azera Engine Seal Leak [allmet33]
" Weasel " is a great choice of words. It would appear that the Hyundai warranty is merely a marketing tool and has very little substance. My 4 year old Azera doesn't have a lot of miles, but they have denied a couple of my warranty claims - chipped steering wheel and a plastic cover under the car. A fabulous car, but the long warranty is a joke.

Re: 2007 Azera Engine Seal Leak [somer1000]
My 2006 has just over 10100 miles on it and i too have a bit of a leak from the top of the engine.

2007 Azera Engine Seal Leak
I took my 2007 Azerea with 98,000 miles on it to the Hyundai dealership today for service. The dealership called and said I had an engine seal oil leak, and that Hyundai was not going to fix it under the 100,000 mile warranty because it was not a gasket, Hyundai used some other method in the engine seals. They said it was going to be $1,600 to fix it! Has anyone ... Read More

Re: 2007 Azera limited - split in Dashbaord [SilverBullet00]

But there have been so many reports of this problem on the blogs, with dealers replacing the dash tops, it should be known to all dealers, so if one dealer gives you scat about it, try another dealer...

Re: 2007 Azera limited - split in Dashbaord [specialknyc]
I too have an '07 with all of the problems you describe. The split in the dash almost looks as if had been precut to add a speaker. There is no way this in "normal" and yet another problem Hyundai either can't or is unwilling to fix. I can live with the crack, but the suspension noise is driving me crazier than I already am.

Re: 2007 Azera limited - split in Dashbaord [specialknyc]
That is ridiculous. Hyundai SHOULD cover it! My 07 had a crack on the dash & it was replaced without question. I know others who have had their cracked dashboards also replaced without question. Early Azeras have a defective dashboard & Hyundai knows it. Go to a different dealer & let us know how it goes. Also, file a complaint on NHTSA's website. If there are enough complaints, NHTSA might force ... Read More

Does anyone hate the rain-sensing wipers?
My 2007 Azera Limited has the rain sensing wipers. I have always been extremely unhappy with them. In fact, the gas mileage and the wipers are my only complaints about the Azera. They are extremely inconsistent, waiting far too long to turn on at times and at other times running at high speed for a light mist. They do not have a timer - only the rain sensor. My wife won't ...

Azera Suspension
Hello: We have had the four struts replaced on our 2007 Azera after only 13000 miles. the ride had deterioated that the car was unsafe at speeds over 55 MPH.

The dealership was more than professional and courteous. Great service and attention ... Read More

I purchased 2007 Azera in November of last year after having admired them for over a year. I first saw one at the Seattle auto show in 2006 and it impressed me with the level of equipment for the price. Then at last year's show thay had an all out push with a large sales force and a fleet of test drive vehicles (the only manufacturer to do so) so I ... Read More

Re: Consumer Reports [andysam]
I disagree with CR also. We have the 2007 Limited bought new off the showroom floor. It has almost 39,000 miles on it and we'd buy another. In fact I was thinking of looking for a used one for myself to drive and sell the 1996 Grand Am with 228,000 miles on it. We've had no problems and certainly none of the front clunking issues even on bumpy roads. We get ... Read More

Re: Consumer Reports [rotary]
See April 2008 issue, page 82. It states that "Used Cars to Avoid had below average reliability for their specific model years." Then see page 85, "Used Cars to Avoid." Under Hyundai, it lists the "Azera, '07." Personally I don't agree with it and it conflicts with the individual systems "verdicts" on page 91. However, on page 91, they also rate the '07 as below average as a used car. They ... Read More

Re: Meeting with Reg. Service Manager [carolinabob]
"RSM called someone and they reported that there is no change in the suspensions for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 with the exception of now using the -040 struts. He also said there is no new strut or anything else on the 2008/2009 per his sources." I posted (somewhere) that there is indeed a new and different part number for the 2008 shocks. It is 54611-3L640 Haven't gotten around to asking ... Read More

Meeting with Reg. Service Manager
The regional service manager and the dealership senior service manager and I went for a ride in my 07 Azera yesterday. I also had an oil change and rotation while there and we all looked under the car at the suspension components. Everything was normal. Bottom line, yes, it does bounce, but it is built that way to deliver a "soft" ride. Interestingly we also went for a ride in a ... Read More

No thanks
I can buy a 2007 Azera with 15,887 miles on it (a Limited Edition) for $16,900 from a dealer. It is a one owner free carfax car, with a clean history. I passed because everyone I personally know (and trust) that has a Hyundai (three Sonatas and one Azera) has suspension noise problems, all described as a hollow feeling, with clanking and/or thunking sounds, while transversing rough pavement. Nothing bothers me ... Read More

Re: 2008 Front End Noise [daveltd]
You might want to check the build date on your 2008. My 2008 was built on June 16, 2007 when Hyundai was still installing the front strut P/N 041 which has exhibited the noise problem. The 2008 brochure mentions an "all-new suspension for 2008" which I presume has the new front strut P/N 640 which was used after October 20, 2007 build date. The only reason I bought the 2008 Azera ... Read More

Re: 2008 Front End Noise [bigearl1]
Interestingly I don't have the noise problem, but I do experience wallowing/bouncing over uneven road surfaces. Contact Hyundai Customer Assistance as you will get little help from the dealer. They did replace the struts on my 2007, but within a few months the problem returned. The Regional Service Manager is to drive it on the 17th, but he drove it once before and said it is normal. This time we're going ... Read More

Re: everything you need to buy Azera 2008 in chicagoland area [kd44]

Re: Good reliability isn't Jaguar's problem. [captain2]
I think it's pretty impressive that in the 2008 Taurus, the new 3.5L Duratec hooked up to the same 6-speed automatic gets 2 MPG better on the Highway, and 1 MPG better combined compared to the 2007 Five Hundred with the old 3.0L Duratec. I'd say Ford definitely refined the Duratec V6: 60 more HP *and* better fuel economy. This new engine pulls the Taurus to 60 MPH in 6.8 seconds, ... Read More

Re: 2007 Azera - bad paint spot on hood [donnah]
I had a problem getting connected with the regional service manager for the Southeast (Atlanta GA). I called the Hyundai call center and they finally manged to contact the regional SM for me. Complicated process and you have to be flexible with your time. BTW, my experience with California is that if you contact them, they refer you to the call center for them to handle it.

Re: 2007 Azera - bad paint spot on hood [donnah]
Donnah...I had a paint issue with my Azera as well. On my trunk lid, there's a spot where it looks like the metallic flake is more concentrated in a small spot (about 1.5" in diameter). It doesn't jump out at you, but it can be seen. I don't know about a paint inspector, but I do know a regional Hyundai rep makes rounds to all the dealerships montly. I was fortunate ... Read More

2007 Azera - bad paint spot on hood
I bought a 2007 Azera Limited (beige) Nov. 2007. In Dec. 2007 I took the car in as there was a small (1/2") spot on the hood. The service manager agreed it was dirt under the paint (could not be buffed out). He said I would have to wait for the regional paint inspector to come look at it. This paint inspector comes once a month to the dealership. In January ... Read More

Azera Strut Question/CR
The dealer replaced the -041 struts with -040's a few months ago with some improvement. I took the covers off the tops and noticed the below. The center post has a nut with a green mark on it. The round top plate under the nut has two green lines. One of the three posts holding the strut has a green dot in the center> Does anyone know what these marks mean? ... Read More

Re: Hyundai Azera: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [dwengier77]
Yeah, I'm tempted by the 2007 Azera Limited Ultimate as well. I'd be pushing forward my time to buy (and perhaps my ultimate choice), but they're going for $23,997 locally right now and that's very invititing.

Re: Hyundai Azera: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [pat]
When I decided on a 2007 Azera several weeks ago, I spent hours talking to dealers in several states, tracking down ten Azeras matching my want list. Now that I'm ready to purchase, I discovered seven of them have been sold. The remaining three are program cars with many miles on them (none under 6,000 miles). Sure, I still could buy a 2007, but without driving more than two states away, ... Read More

Re: rt front strut noise [144tap]
Congratulations, but what did the dealer do for strut assembly on the 2008? Will Hyundai provide new ones? Took a ride in an Acura RL yesterday and it rides so much better, but for $40,000 it should. Soon as I got back in my Azera, I immediately noticed the bouncing/wallowing over any road imperfections which resulted in the impact harshness in the seats. This is with the 040 strut replacements. Would ... Read More

Blog Post About My Decision To Buy An Azera
I've decided to buy a new 2007 Azera Limited. To help kill the time until I make the purchase, I posted a blog with my thoughts about my decision. The post also includes several video reviews, a couple of Azera commercials and an IIHS crash test video.

Re: Genesis is Coming [captain2]
Captain, you should know better, lol. I changed after first 1500, then every 7500 since. I do hope you are right about my Michelins, since they are the original equipment tire on an Azera. 235-55-17 MXV4 S8 model ($202 ea. at Tire Rack), I will be thrilled If I get 50K out of them. They have been a great tire for me, so far. My guess is that Discount Tire might ... Read More

Azera Marketing
Got a nice, 6 page flyer in the mail today offering $500 off a 2007 or 2008 Azera. Since I already own a 2007 Limited, think I'll pass on it. Apparently Hyundai is sending it out to all current Hyundai owners. :)

Re: 2007 Brass Hat Azera Limited with 04 Ultimate Pkg [bhmr59]
I agree as it seems Hyundai reduces the prices of their vehicles a lot more than others. Probably paid a lot less than anywhere close to MSRP for the Sonata.

Re: 2007 Brass Hat Azera Limited with 04 Ultimate Pkg [rhduke00]

2007 Brass Hat Azera Limited with 04 Ultimate Pkg
Sage green with black interior (NO XM satellite) and 6500 miles on the odometer. Because the car was a Hyundai corporate car and was never titled, it is considered a new car for warranty, road side assistance, and rebates. The MSRP on this car was 30,475 and the invoice 28,441.

Re: Curtains for the Azera? [captain2]
They don't have to. That is very true. Toyota stops advertising and it can still sell their cars by the lots ;) More reasons makers such as Hyundai has to be even more aggressive, to convince their products are up to snuff, and the general public gives a chance in the first place. This is good news, from today's Auto News, it ranks Hyundai just behind Toyota and Lexus nameplates (so ... Read More

Re: 2007 Hyundai Azera Long-Term Test Wrap Up [captain2]

Re: 2007 Hyundai Azera Long-Term Test Wrap Up [joe97]
retained value or residual percentages mean nothing, it is still gross dollars out of pocket, the more you talk about it maybe the more you will understand it. There is something else at work here - car desirability and how that might effect how close you might get to anybody's value estimates. IT goes like this - If I'm out trading in an Avalon on a more premium brand car. the ... Read More

Re: 2007 Hyundai Azera Long-Term Test Wrap Up [kdshapiro]
I didn't go feature by feature but the Azera limited checks in at a MSRP of $28,030, per KBB, while the Avalon limited runs for $34,725. The raw upfront cost (MSRP) difference is 6,695. So, Azera: 20,800 / 28,030 = 74.21% retained value Avalon: 26,000 / 34,725 = 74.87% retained value 25.79% depreciation for the Azera vs. 25.13% for the Avalon

Re: 2007 Hyundai Azera Long-Term Test Wrap Up [joe97]
That is TMV not real world. TMV is certainly useful for normalizing some of this information, but that's where it ends. Based on misalignments and carpet wear and the like and not knowing all the details I went to kbb.com and put in a 2007 Azera with 19000 miles in fair condition in 90210. Highest trim level. Private party value was a tad over $17,000. Excellent condition, $20.8K Trade in value: ... Read More

2007 Hyundai Azera Long-Term Test Wrap Up
This stat certainly surprised me but nevertheless attributed to the improvement of the brand: Retained Value Edmunds' TMV® calculator values the Azera at $21,838 after 18,530 miles. This equates to 27 percent depreciation from its original MSRP and ranks it just behind its competitors in resale worth. Our Toyota Camry depreciated by a similar 26 percent margin at the conclusion of its long-term test, although it had an additional 3,000 miles ... Read More

Re: 2008 Hyudai Azera Update [acelink]
Sounds right - for 2009 here. My 2008 Azera was manufactured in July, 2007. They were not sold anywhere in the US until after New Years Day = 6 months' lead time (and yes, I know - it should have been only 3). Even if it were moved into production today, it wouldn't show up here until about that time, anyway (that's assuming there isn't a surplus of non-Limited model vehicles ... Read More
