| 2007 | STRUCTURE | I HAVE A CRACK, OUT LINING THE FRONT AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH . IT IS GETTING BIGGER. MY DEALER SAYS THAT IT WON'T EMPLOY ON USE, BUT I DON'T FEEL SAFE. THEY SAID THAT TO FIX IT RIGHT IT WILL NEED TO HAVE A NEW AIRBAG PUT IN BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE ONE THAT IS IN THERE. THAT WILL COST US BETWEEN $600.00 AND $700.00. I FEEL THAT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUED AND SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY . I HAVE GOTTEN ON LINE AND HAVE SEE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER. I DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY TO GET THIS REPAIRED. COULD YOU GRANTEE ME THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE THIS WAS. *TR |
| 2009 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | I PURCHASED A 2009 HYUNDAI AZERA LAST YEAR FROM FUCCILLO CHEVROLET IN GRAND ISLAND, NEW YORK. THE CAR WAS NEW AND STILL ON THE LOT AFTER 2 YEARS BUT I WAS ASSURED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG IT AND I HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE VEHICLE UP UNTIL NOW. HOWEVER, YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, THE CAR WENT INTO AN EMERGENCY SLOW-DOWN MODE AND BOTH THE ECS OFF AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. THIS HAPPENED ON THE THRUWAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH WAS HARROWING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO 'LIMP' OFF THE HIGHWAY AND GET TO A SIDE STREET. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND THE EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN TO NORTHTOWN HYUNDAI IN AMHERST, NY. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED THE SLOW-DOWN/ECS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS CASES OF THIS HAPPENING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE CONTROL DEVICE IN MANY OF THE HYUNDAI AND KIA MODELS. IN FACT, A WOMAN AT THE SERVICE COUNTER WHO HAD A 2007 AZERA HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH HER CAR! NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY I AM WRITING. IT SEEMS THAT THIS THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUE IS FAIRLY COMMON WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IT IS ALSO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. PLEASE MAKE THEM INITIATE A RECALL. *TR |
