| 2009 | ENGINE | 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 |
